The River Theatre (Guerneville, CA) 1982 Liz and Julie Conundrum, Resolved
In my previous post on the JGB’s early 1980s drummers and backup singers, I grappled with the puzzle of the backup singers on 10/24/82 at the River Theater, 16135 Main Street, Guerneville, CA, 95446-8301: an eyewitness to the 10/24/82 River Theater (Guerneville, CA) show, which we know featured the return of female vocalists after the…

A Monster Don’t Let Go at Hartwick College, December 3, 1977
LN jg1977-12-03.jgb.90mins.aud-unk-russell.LOSSY.flac1644 update whenever: seems like this material is lossy. One hopes the source tapes can be located and archived at higher resolution (on the sonic plane for sure, but also informationally!). Not a huge amount to say. A show that has been MiA, around which some setlist uncertainty remains. See my overly baroque notes below.…

JGB: early 1980s drummers and backup singers
I posted some listening notes from the 10/13/82 JGB show at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA. A priori, two things are particularly interesting about that show. First, it’s the public debut of drummer Greg Errico with the Jerry Garcia Band in this particular stint (he had done a mini-tour with them in July 1980).…

JGB: female vocalists, late 1983 east coast tour
update 2016: there is overwhelming evidence that DeeDee Dickerson took part in the late ’83 JGB tour. She is on the band’s tour documents. As of 2/19/2019, I believe DeeDee was present until at least 5/19/84; the earliest confirmed reference I can find to Gloria Jones dates to 8/11/84. update 2020: Gloria’s first show appears…

Cat in the Limelight: RN Grosswald and Blavat 1978
Grosswald, Mike and Glen Blavat. 1978. Jerry Garcia’s Band Under the Stars. Happytimes (Philadelphia), March 31, 1978, p. 15. Grosswald-Bavat 1978: This is a really nicely done piece from what I assume was a Philly underground paper, Happytimes, around the time of the JGB’s visit to that town in mid-March (3/16/78 at the Spectrum Theatre).…

JGB: November-December 1977 East Coast Tour Rarities
1977 The Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) was formed in 1975 to be a professional recording and touring band, and in productive years the Band would do a late-year East Coast tour. I’d guess the germ of this tradition formed in 1973, when Garcia and Saunders played the Hell’s Angels Forever gig on the S.S. Bay…

The John Rich Question: Reply to Corry
Bravo, Corry! The John Rich Question is indeed a great mystery.See Corry’s post for the details of the question. I am sure I’ll have to update this post several times, but I wanted to take the second I have available to get started with a reply. I love this mystery. I agree with Corry that…

JGB: December 31, 1975, Keystone, Berkeley: who was drumming?
update: we know now it was Greg Errico, with Hart sitting in in the third set, so enjoy this post as a waystation in the growth of knowledge. Jerrybase exists now! update: see also my “Jerry’s New Year’s Eve” post. I am not the big fan of the 12/31/75 JGB show that most people…

JGB: October 27, 1982, Rissmiller’s Club, Reseda, CA
Photo credit: Karen Verity Tapes have circulated dated October 27, 1982 from Rissmiller’s Club in Reseda, CA. I seem to recall that at ont point such a date was listed at the Jerry Site and that I myself got the idea that it was bogus and deleted it. I can’t remember why. Anyway, the image…
