  • On Accuracy

    The recent June 5th brought out more than a tiny number of people to recognize the Oregon State Penintiery show on the anniversary of its performance — June 5, 1982 — rather than on the date given by the old bootleg tape. Because the bootleg was one of the mostly widely held Garcia recordings in…

  • New-to-The-List from the Examiner, 1970-1972

    In addition to the tantalizing May 20-21, 1969 Garcia gigs at the Matrix, the newly-digitized Examiner has yielded a good number of previously unlisted, mostly-midweek Garcia gigs. A little list  from 1970-1972 follows. update: see also a subsequent list from 1973-end 11/2/70 (Monday): Jerry Garcia / BBHC / Ice / Cleveland Wrecking Company. Harding Theater.…

  • List Tradition

    I just updated my old post noting some of Umberto Eco’s musings on Lists as ways of chronicling infinity. http://jgmf.blogspot.com/2012/02/list-tradition-chronicling-infinity.html

  • “Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders & Tom Fogerty Sat-Sun, New Monk”

    SFC 7/2/71 p. 52 Last year I spun some 1970 and early 1971 microfilm of the San Francisco Chronicle, and found seven new-to-The-List shows in a three-month span. If you follow the blog or scroll down a bit chronologically, you’ll see that I have continued to discover more in the 1971-1972 period, and even as…

  • The McNally-Arnold Jerry Garcia List

    It’s very meta, but I do have a lot to say about The List Tradition which I hope to get to. Let me just point out something that I think is interesting: The Garcia stuff on the typescript McNally-Arnold Jerry Garcia List (McNally and Arnold, ND), which became the Garcia list in Deadbase IX, entered the…

  • The List Tradition: Chronicling Infinity

    Beyer, Susanne, and Lothar Gorris. 2009. SPIEGEL Interview with Umberto Eco: ‘We Like Lists Because We Don’t Want to Die’. Spiegel Online International, November 11, http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/spiegel-interview-with-umberto-eco-we-like-lists-because-we-don-t-want-to-die-a-659577.html, consulted 1/4/2016. I don’t know Eco very well, and there’s a bit of mumbo-jumbo in here, but I think it’s also a lovely little piece of cultural history, very…

  • Arnold, Corry. 2012. The Janet Soto List Manuscript Tradition

    The Janet Soto List Manuscript Tradition By Corry Arnold For some reason that is unknown to me, GDP employee Janet Soto made a typewritten list of every Grateful Dead performance from January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1980. I have no idea why this list was created, but I’m glad it was. I received my…

  • OAITW: July 18, 1973, Inn of the Beginning, Cotati

    The McNally-Arnold JG List had listed an Old and in the Way show at the Inn of the Beginning, 8201 Old Redwood Highway, Cotati, CA, 94931, on Wednesday, July 18, 1973. This carried through to Deadbase (Corry Arnold having given a copy of the list to Stu Nixon) and through to The Jerry Site (Ryan…

  • JGB: September 19, 1975, Crabshaw Corner, Sacramento, CA

    Thanks to Corry for answering my query on January 26, 1976 which also included a question about 11/4/78. Before starting my post, I  just want to take a second to recognize Corry’s role in Garcia historiography. He has been not only an essential bridge across different documents (Soto, McNally) and traditions (from handwritten lists to…
