  • JGMS March 22, 1974 – Chateau Liberté

    The McNally-Arnold JG List included Garcia-Saunders on March 22, 1974 at the Chateau Liberté. I presently list the address as 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway, Los Gatos, CA 95033 [map | JGBP | JGC | Cryptical Developments | see also LLD]. I know of no documentation of this in the public realm, just the listing,…

  • JGMS: January 6-7-8, 1972, Keystone Korner

    I had a Friday, January 7, 1972 Garcia-Saunders gig at Keystone Korner based on an ex post discussion by Ken Hunt in the San Francisco Chronicle (1). But a bit of sniffing reveals a Thursday-Saturday run, January 6-8. No TJS, so update your own spreadsheets. (1) Hunt, Dennis. 1972a. Guitarist Jerry Garcia Never Stops. San…

  • March 23, 1975 – Jerry Garcia Interview

    I don’t know who the interviewer is, nor the radio station from which this particular recorded. It is the first track of shnid-126296. This is the interview Jerry gave before the SNACK Benefit at Kezar Stadium. Sounds like reading the newspapers around the time of the show will prove interesting, mismanagement of budgets by bureaucrats…

  • Legal Aid for Unnamed Angels

    LN jg1973-10-02.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.83809.flac1644 I am sure Blair and McNally and all the other sources go into the obscure story of the Legal Aid Benefit. I just re-read the one source I have at hand, John Wasserman’s very suspicious-sounding piece in the Chronicle a few days later (1). Sounds like some Angels, facilitated by Sam Cutler and…

  • JGMS: January 11-12, 1974, Winterland, SF (CXL)

    Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, Waylon Jennings, and Alice Stuart and Snake were billed at Bill Graham’s Winterland on the weekend of January 11–12, 1974. These bookings have been on The List since forever. Here’s what puzzles me: why are there no attendee recollections anywhere, or am I just missing them? How come no poster?…

  • After Midnight: JGMS, November 3, 1973, Keystone, Berkeley

    I just call this After Midnight. Tremendous.

  • ‘Secret’ at Paul’s Mall: see p. 27

     LN jg1974-11-13.jgms.late.aud-seaweed.121034.flac1644 LIA just posted some really nice sources (“November 12, 1974: Garcia Plays Boston” and “November 1974: Garcia & Dead Projects“) relating to the November 1974 east coast tour by the Jerry Garcia-Merl Saunders (JGMS) aggregation of Garcia, Saunders, John Kahn, Martin Fierro, and Paul Humphrey. In discussing 11/6/74 I noted that this was…

  • Grandma said, ‘Boy, go and follow your heart’: JGMS at Keystone Berkeley, November 27, 1974

    LN jg1974-11-27.jgms.106mins.sbd-GEMS.91343.flac1644 Just a few quick notes. 1) Paul Humphrey drumming. The drummer is fast and great. He is noted in Rex’s handwriting on the box for reel #3. 2) Some of this material is just amazing. “Valdez In The Country” and “Freedom Jazz Dance” should make us very Grateful that Merl was there to…
