  • Nina Blackwood Interviews Jerry Garcia for MTV, ca. June 2, 1983

    Some classic lines here, like the studio as building a ship in a bottle and playing live like piloting a rowboat in the ocean. I wasn’t super careful about getting everything 100% perfect, especially not where there’s GD talk. I am not 100% certain about the geolocation, but it’s got to be about right. Jerry…

  • Don’t judge a tape by the gear: JGB at Stages, East St. Louis, May 23, 1983

    The only tape circulating for the Garcia Band show at Stages in East St. Louis, May 23, 1983, was recorded using the built-in mics of a Sony D6 by one Steven Shayman. Looks like it entered circulation in June 2004 as a shn fileset put together by Dr. Chris Ladner (neo_levo) as part of the…

  • No Sellout on Cape Cod: JGB, May 28, 1983

    LN jg1983-05-28.jgb.all.aud-huston.141978.flac2496 I have a bunch of listening notes to catch up on, but I have been holding back maybe because I don’t find myself with much to say. Saturday night, May 28, 1983 at the Cape Cod Coliseum, JGB #15c lays down a characteristically strong show. It doesn’t knock my socks off like 5/31/83…

  • Swan Song for JGB #15c: Philly, June 5, 1983

Six days later, this band, featuring the great and powerful Greg Errico on drums, would play its final two shows at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA. Surprisingly, only two tapes…

  • Jerry Garcia Band at The Chance, Poughkeepsie, June 4, 1983 late show

    LN jg1983-06-04.jgb.late.aud-vita.78981.flac1644 update: lots of great photos from the EARLY show by Peter Hazou [dead link] 1983, like some other years, was best smack dab in the middle for the Jerry Garcia Band. The JGB’s May 31 show at the Roseland Ballroom on West 52nd Street in New York is one of the best of…

  • I sing the blues, where has it led?

    LN jg1983-05-31.jgb.all.aud-vita.76578.flac1644 On Tuesday, May 31, 1983, the Jerry Garcia Band (#15c) lit up an SRO West 52nd Street institution, the venerable Roseland Ballroom, with one of the finest shows of the 1980s.  On any given night, Jerry Garcia could deliver the fucking goods, and this is the fucking goods. Everything crackles. I have titled…
