  • Is Jimmy Here? JGB, Keystone Palo Alto, January 23, 1981

    LN jg1981-01-23.jgb.all.aud-latvala.97205.flac1644 Well, I hear some electric piano here (see notes), but I think it’s Melvin. So, as Corry indicated, this (along with 1/22/81) might be a hitherto unknown quartet configuration of Garcia, Kahn, Seals and Shaw — no Jimmy Warren on second keys, as traditionally believed. Otherwise, nothing to write home about, to my…

  • Melvin in the House: JGB, Keystone Palo Alto, January 22, 1981

    LN jg1981-01-22.jgb.partial.aud-latvala.97266.flac1644 Corry listened to this and said he didn’t hear two keyboards (in comments to his main post on Jimmy Warren). I don’t think I do, either, but I’d love for someone to check the 2-minute mark of I’ll Take a Melody and the 6-minute mark of Like a Road. I have a much…

  • The Last Quartet Show

    LN jg1982-10-23.jgb.all.aud-knudsen-GEMS.112275.flac1644 This show is the last for the short-lived October ’82 quartet configuration, which did a quartet of shows on 10/13/82, 10/21-22/82, and this night. In Guerneville on the 24th, backing vocalists would augment the ranks. If I am not mistaken, this could be the last show the JGB ever played as a quartet…

  • ‘Yayyyyy, Jerry!’

    LN jg1981-04-18.jgb.all-1.aud-jaret.107843.flac1644 Looks like I hear a mixed bag – HSII and CJ strong to start, but on STOF I call him zonked – “Sounds like he’s learning how to sing on smack”, and there are various clusterfucks. Little kid in the crowd gives a “Yayyyyy, Jerry!” as Our Hero steps up for “Let It…

  • Q: Where was Jerry on June 24, 1981? A: Breaking in new singers at the Keystone Palo Alto

    update:  I have found a listing for JGB playing Keystone Palo Alto this Wednesday night, 6/24/81. It makes sense – first night out for Liz Stires and Essra Mohawk, and they usually played gigs on off-nights and/or off-the-beaten path when breaking in new members. That seems especially pertinent when the first two gigs are going…

  • JGB: September 19, 1975, Crabshaw Corner, Sacramento, CA

    Thanks to Corry for answering my query on January 26, 1976 which also included a question about 11/4/78. Before starting my post, I  just want to take a second to recognize Corry’s role in Garcia historiography. He has been not only an essential bridge across different documents (Soto, McNally) and traditions (from handwritten lists to…

  • JGB: January 26, 1976, Keystone, Berkeley, CA (CONFIRMED)

    updated post: I used to wonder if 1/26/76 was an actual Garcia Band show. tl;dr: it was. https://jerrybase.com/events/19760126-01
