Vegas is skeptical that I can do the NRPS-Matrix-1970 thing in seven posts, but I never claimed I’d do them consecutively. And, well, if I happen to cover related terrain, well, that’s just how it goes. And it just so happens that LIA’s post “The Hartbeats – July 1970” mentions some GD material that I’d…

‘Yayyyyy, Jerry!’
LN jg1981-04-18.jgb.all-1.aud-jaret.107843.flac1644 Looks like I hear a mixed bag – HSII and CJ strong to start, but on STOF I call him zonked – “Sounds like he’s learning how to sing on smack”, and there are various clusterfucks. Little kid in the crowd gives a “Yayyyyy, Jerry!” as Our Hero steps up for “Let It…

LNjg1977-11-26.jgb.late.anderson.85051.flac1644 Something told me I wanted to listen to something from the Cats Under the Stars– era sextet of Garcia, Kahn, Buzz Buchanan, Keith and Donna Godchaux, and Maria Muldaur, and I wanted it to be a recording I hadn’t made notes on. So, here’s what I found: 11/26/77, late show. psilo.com This is a…

LN jg1981-08-07.jgb.all.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448 JGB’s “First Northern California Tour“, heh heh.

Second Guitarist, No Martin: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, July 12, 1974
19740712: Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders: Friday, July 12, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA. There is a second guitarist on this show. I am concluding it’s David Nelson, but I am really uncertain. Can anyone else with this recording take a listen? Can anyone shed any more light? Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Keystone Berkeley, CA…
