  • Matrix Tapes

    I was just reminded that I had posted a long list of one source of “Matrix Tapes” in comments on the “High Country 2/19/69” show at Lost Live Dead in 2009. I reproduce it here. I’d love to concatenate the various lists and fill in as much sourcing information as I can. Perhaps I’ll give…

    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…

  • LN19690219 High Country “2/19/69” Matrix, San Francisco, CA

    LIA’s argument that the GD set circulating under the date of 6/19/68 is actually the 2/19/69 GD show is totally persuasive to me. Of course that probably implies that the 2/19/69 dating of the High Country set from the Matrix, with Garcia and Nelson joining Butch Waller and Rich Wilbur, is probably mis-dated. (A Wednesday…

  • JGMS: October 3, 1971, Frost Ampitheater, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

    Garcia and Saunders played the Pamoja Jazz Concert on October 3, 1971 at Frost Ampitheater, sharing a bill with Big Black and the Bobby Hutcherson – Harold Land Quintet. Love that jazz billing. Anyway, for a long time I have been aware of a show review by Paul Grushkin from the Stanford Daily a few…
