Old old old notes: JGB at the Leroy Theatre, Pawtucket, RI, March 11, 1978
LN jg1978-03-11.jgb.all.aud-friend.97682.flac1644 I listened to this years ago, was just doing some housecleaning and thought I’d post. Bullets: Really nice tape. Piano sounds especially great .Thank you, Tim Friend! I note that it runs faster than the set II soundboard tape. I also noted that AF’s ITAM patch from shnid-14931 (Tom Dalti aud) sounds pitched differently.…

Expressway Day: Garcia-Saunders at the Golden Bear, Huntington Beach, December 29, 1974
I woke up this morning with “Expressway (To Your Heart)” playing in my head. Not just any Expressway, mind you. But the one played by Jerry and Merl and crew (possibly calling themselves Legion of Mary backstage and such) at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach on December 29, 1974, to end (or just about)…

Long Ago and Far Away: JGB at Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME, June 20, 1982
LN jg1982-06-20.jgb.all.aud-lamarre.139447.flac2496 Great pull by Doug Lamarre, very good JGB from the strong month of June 1982. Bobby Cochran and Bob Weir from Bobby and the Midnites sit in on the encore, which includes the JGB singleton “Johnny B. Goode”. Jerry sounds quite strong. Two new tunes stand out. “Valerie” holds some serious heavy-metal appeal, and…

Second Night Out for Liz and Essra: JGB, Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, June 25, 1981
update: the original title of this was “First Night Out”, but I have discovered a warmup gig on 6/24/81 at the Keystone Palo Alto (not in Salinas, as I had elaborately laid out). Liz Stires and Essra Mohawk appear to debut as backing vocalists on the night before this show. There are no singers on the late…

Last Time in Irvine: JGB at Irvine Meadows, May 15, 1994
I forewarned a few posts back that I had some backlogged listening notes, and have been posting them this weekend. They were backlogged, in many cases, because I just didn’t have that much to say. I often check the date index for the blog in picking something to listen to, looking for gaps or inflection…

Come back for Garcia Band. Come back, come back.
LN jg1978-03-10.interview.all.fm-zimmerman.82210.flac1644 I love these March ’78 interviews. 3/11/78 is my absolute favorite, all kinds of great stuff.

The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
My first working title for Fate Music was The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game. The THGCBTG framing, as I lovingly acronymized it, reflected a slightly darker view of Garcia’s side trips than I presently hold, one in which his damned Midas Touch tainted even his silly bar band, which eventually had to play boomy…
