Jerry and Freddie, mid-March 1972
Above are the music listings from Night Times, March 8-21, 1972. Check ’em out if you’re interested, of course, but let me be Garciacentric and offer the following tidbit, about the deepening relationship between Jerry Garcia (et al.) and Freddie Herrera: Jerry and Merle [sic] —Night Times misspelled his name without fail through this point,…

JGMS January 28-29, 1972 Keystone Korner – CANCELED
Interesting to see Jerry Garcia and Merle [sic] Saunders billed for Keystone Korner on Friday-Saturday, January 28-29, 1972. Suggests that, as of whenever the deadline for these listings might have been, a second weekend for the Hooteroll? tour had not yet been pinned down. #AHATT. According to listing in the next day’s HDR, Grootna filled…

Color: January 12-25, 1972 Night Times listings
Here are some listings from the Night Times, with a few scattershot thoughts. 1) The Berkeley Night Times is a gem. 2) It’s especially good re: race. The range of clubs it covers exceeds most other sources – you’ve got the country clubs, the rock clubs, the black soul/R&B/gospel clubs, the Latin clubs, a little…

Jerry Garcia Sometime Before Christmas
Night Times, published out of Berkeley for about a year (as far as I know) in 1971-1972, is a treasure. I found a review of Chez Panisse just shortly after it opened, but it’s loaded with great music, art, etc. content. Anyway, I liked this one, from the December 23, 1971 – January 3, 1972…

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…

Rock and Roll Road Map
I should obviously have been spending more time with Rock and Roll Roadmaps, I guess. Just stumbled across the listing their for Keystone Korner. Oooh, and here’s one for the Cotati Cabaret. All right then, I will try to play around more with this.

JGMS: January 15, 1972, Keystone Korner, San Francisco, CA
I have been needing to revisit recordings of the very early Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders stuff, and with a bit of time I thought I’d give this show, from a Saturday in mid-January 1972 at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco, some attention on its birthday. I am not sure who’s drumming … could have been…
