  • Rolling Thunder Data

    Rumor has long had it that Mickey has a massive trove of tape and information related to recordings made at his barn studio, a.k.a. Rolling Thunder, at 2495 Novato Blvd. between about 1971 and sometime in the early 1980s. As usual, Corry has done outstanding work pinning some of this down, but there’s probably oodles…

  • “Once in a while, …”

    .. you know the rest. Was just processing a 1975 article from Hit Parader, of all things. Yet a few things catch my eye: Gives working title for The Movie, soon-to-be released film There is Nothing Like A Grateful Dead Show.  Maybe this was out there, but I don’t remember seeing this in print like…

  • Circular on Mickey Hart and Rolling Thunder

    “Mickey Hart: Off the Road and Into His Head,” Circular 4, 36 (September 11, 1972), 2 pp. Warner Brothers pimped Mickey Hart’s Rolling Thunder (BS 2635) in its “weekly news device” Circular for its September 1972 release. As I found with an earlier edition of Circular (“Keith. And, Modernity”), this one holds various pieces of…

  • Hartbeats as Tempo Études

    LN jg1968-10-30.hartbeats.163mins.sbd-gadsden.xxxxxx.flac1644 Well, we probably won’t ever be able to identify everything about the various Matrix Tapes (dates, personnel, etc.), with 100% certainty. But there’s no particular reason to doubt that this is something like Mickey and the Hartbeats (here, as Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, with guest Elvin Bishop on a few tunes)…

  • Response to LLD’s Hooteroll–When Was It Recorded?

    Corry has an important and rich post over at LLD on the mystery that shrouds the recording of Howard Wales / Jerry Garcia, Hooteroll [deaddisc entry]. I started to reply in comments over there, but began to write more than I thought suitable for that little sub-medium (a minimum?), so I thought I’d just let…
