If there were more time, I’d like to talk about “Who Was John?”, elaborate on the racial structure of the music, the unevenness of this period (March-April 1976). But there’s not time, so just a data dump. Jerry Garcia Band Cahn Auditorium, Northwestern University 600 Emerson StreetEvanston, IL 60201 March 12, 1976 (Friday) 55 minute…

Maria Muldaur: July 21, 1974, Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA
We know that the world is generating more data than we can handle, and what we need are better aggregators and synthesizers. A case in point would be recollections attached to historical events such as, say, oh, I dunno, rock concerts. At various message boards, torrent sites, discussion groups, etc. (to say nothing of Facebook),…

Q: Where was Jerry on June 24, 1981? A: Breaking in new singers at the Keystone Palo Alto
update: I have found a listing for JGB playing Keystone Palo Alto this Wednesday night, 6/24/81. It makes sense – first night out for Liz Stires and Essra Mohawk, and they usually played gigs on off-nights and/or off-the-beaten path when breaking in new members. That seems especially pertinent when the first two gigs are going…

The end of the November 1974 Jerry Garcia – Merl Saunders (JGMS) east coast tour
There is so much to say about the November 1974 east coast tour undertaken by the Jerry Garcia / Merl Saunders group (the quintet of Garcia [el-g, vocals], Saunders [keyboards, vocals], John Kahn [el-bass], Martin Fierro [horns], and future Lawrence Welk drummer Paul Humphrey). Garcia had done two national “tours” outside the Grateful Dead prior…

I did not know that
According to Alex Allan’s incredible Grateful Dead Lyric and Song Finder site, Love in the Afternoon credits lyrics to Robert Hunter and music to John Kahn. “I did not know that.”

Possible Jerry Gig? October 15-16, 1971, Keystone Korner, SF, CA
So, here’s one that caught my eye. Nick the Greek, Merl, Tom Fogerty, Dave Getz (presumably) and John Kahn gigging at the Keystone Korner on a Friday-Saturday night in October, 1971 when Jerry is not known (to me) to have been otherwise occupied. Jerry and Merl were billed at the same place the weekend before.…
