Punch in, mail it in for 90 minutes, punch out and party some more: JGB at the Cap Passaic, 11/26/77b
LNjg1977-11-26.jgb.late.anderson.85051.flac1644 Something told me I wanted to listen to something from the Cats Under the Stars– era sextet of Garcia, Kahn, Buzz Buchanan, Keith and Donna Godchaux, and Maria Muldaur, and I wanted it to be a recording I hadn’t made notes on. So, here’s what I found: 11/26/77, late show. psilo.com This is a…

LN jg1981-08-07.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 JGB’s “First Northern California Tour“, heh heh. Having just posted about the JGB Salinas show on August 6, 1981, here I just drop the raw data on a pretty grungy old tape of what purports to be the next night, Friday, August 7, 1981 at Freeborn Hall, UC Davis, Davis, CA. One of…

“We Hardly Know Each Other”: JGB at Sherwood Hall, Salinas, CA, August 6, 1981
LN jg1981-08-06.jgb.all.aud-unk-russjcan.110492.flac1644 JGB’s “1st Northern California Tour“, as the Keystoners had it. In response to a really intriguing email about possible late June 1981 JGB show in Salinas, about which I have posted separately, and with the generous help of folks over at Lossless Legs, I was able to get my ears around the only…

Ambassador Garcia
LN jg1976-03-27.jgb.s1s2p.aud-mcdonald.110281.flac1644 The March-April 1976 Jerry Garcia Band tour is an interesting one. This was the quintet of Garcia, Kahn, Tutt, Godchaux and Godchaux. Let me just make a quick mention of the year overall, then make a few notes about the tour, before discussing this tape of the Jerry Garcia Band, Ambassador Theatre, St.…

Jerry Garcia Band played the Fifth Annual Electric on the Eel event put on by Bill Graham Presents and the Hogfarm at French’s Camp near Piercy, CA on Saturday, August 10, 1991. I don’t get into the 90s as much, needless to say, but since this just came up elsewhere I thought I’d just lay…

LN19810129 JGB Catalyst Santa Cruz
Jerry Garcia Band, Sunday, January 29, 1981, The Catalyst, Santa Cruz, CA. shnid 111412. So I thought I’d check out an early Melvin Seals JGB show as a reward for having concluded that his public debut with JGB was 1/22/81. Randomly picked this one. Pretty nice tape that puts you FOB, but the show is…

When did Melvin Seals begin with JGB?
Edited 20110216 The Jerry Garcia Band show listed as Saturday, December 20, 1980, Keystone Palo Alto, Palo Alto, CA, has always struck me odd. I argue here that (1) “12/20/80” is a “phantom” listing, a mislabel of 12/20/79. Along the way (2) I argue that “1/18/81” is also a phantom, a mislabel of 1/18/83. This…

Reasonably Good Voice and Superb Guitar: JGB on the Russian River, May 31, 1982
jg1982-05-31.jgb.all.aud-GEMS.95427.flac1644 So, this show came up a few days ago as one at which Liz Stires and Julie Stafford were probably singing backing vocals. Part of an interesting occasional discussion on personnel issues in which the early 80s JGB backup singers and drummers have been the matter of some focus (see also here on the…
