  • Ronnie’s and Rowan’s Returns

    LN jg1981-11-13.jgb.early-late.aud-streeter.123554.flac1644 I cannot believe that things were nearly forgotten that should not have been around this late ’81 JGB tour, namely that Ronnie Tutt was back on the skins. Somehow that information didn’t make it to Garciabase, and thence to TJS, but thankfully Corry Knows and we have the old McNally-Arnold JG List still…

  • The Grateful Dead: Top-Grossing Act of 1991

    I just picked up a copy of Pollstar‘s 1991 Year-End Special Edition, entitled Year of the Dead, dated December 31, 1991. Though I don’t do much GD stuff, blogger’s stats tell me that GD posts are the most popular. People are funny. But I digress. One of the reasons I don’t do it is that…

  • ‘Secret’ at Paul’s Mall: see p. 27

     LN jg1974-11-13.jgms.late.aud-seaweed.121034.flac1644 LIA just posted some really nice sources (“November 12, 1974: Garcia Plays Boston” and “November 1974: Garcia & Dead Projects“) relating to the November 1974 east coast tour by the Jerry Garcia-Merl Saunders (JGMS) aggregation of Garcia, Saunders, John Kahn, Martin Fierro, and Paul Humphrey.

  • GD19671201-02: December 1-2, 1967, Psychedelic Supermarket, Boston, MA – CXL

    update note 20150517: I find it hard to update posts once I make them, too little time and all that. In any case, I think I have learned the following things. First, the Dead shows advertised for the Psychedelic Supermarket in Boston on December 1-2, 1967 ended up canceled. Is that right? Second, per commenter Bob…

  • OAITW: June 6, 1973, Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ

    update 20230704: I can’t go back and revise this post 13 years later. It’ll show up in Fate Music, believe me. With a LOT more specifics on Tex Logan, Peter Rowan, Boston, John Scher, and so much more! Old and in the Way did a small east coast tour in June of 1973, the band’s…
