Jerrybase: https://jerrybase.com/events/19911115-01 The Red Light folks tagged GarciaLive 16 (MSG 11/15/91) with the subject line, and I have to say that it’s badass. That crew does a good job, IMO.

There are some points I’d like to flesh out, about The Mission, Jerry’s San Francisco DNA, and the rest of it. But there’s just not time to do everything.
