Setting Right What Was Rent Asunder
Or something like that. Forgive me, for I have sinned. I have added entropy to the world. I am here to make amends. When the Falanga-Menke Stash of Garcia-Saunders tapes from 1974 first came to me, one of them was labeled 8/14/74. I had what I thought was another recording of the show connected to…

The Great Barcia
Rock Scully’s book occasionally referred to Jerry as “the Great Barcia“. I had originally thought it was Salvador Dalí, but looking back, I guess not. It still tickles me. This just came back to mind as I came across two ads, a month apart, for Reconstruction at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz on 3/31/79. Someone…

April 1975 Legion of Mary tapes
Some brave souls at Lossless Legs are wading into the waters of the April 1975 Legion of Mary tapes. I fear that, like all those who have come before, these tapes will defy our collective ability to pin down what’s what (correct dates and such). Most importantly, this shit seems to have come in bits…

LN jg1973-10-xx.oaitw.partial.sbd.14216.shnf
Old And In The Way “October 1973” (http://db.etree.org/shn/14216) turns out to be a degraded copy of Boarding House, October 8, 1973. Grisman officially released the whole show in 2008, though all links to download it seem to be dead. Some notes. Old And In The Way “Unknown Location, October xx, 1973” Boarding House October 8,…

The end of the November 1974 Jerry Garcia – Merl Saunders (JGMS) east coast tour
There is so much to say about the November 1974 east coast tour undertaken by the Jerry Garcia / Merl Saunders group (the quintet of Garcia [el-g, vocals], Saunders [keyboards, vocals], John Kahn [el-bass], Martin Fierro [horns], and future Lawrence Welk drummer Paul Humphrey). Garcia had done two national “tours” outside the Grateful Dead prior…

When did Melvin Seals begin with JGB?
Edited 20110216 The Jerry Garcia Band show listed as Saturday, December 20, 1980, Keystone Palo Alto, Palo Alto, CA, has always struck me odd. I argue here that (1) “12/20/80” is a “phantom” listing, a mislabel of 12/20/79. Along the way (2) I argue that “1/18/81” is also a phantom, a mislabel of 1/18/83. This…

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…

GSCBF3: Sunday, April 28, 1974 afternoon schedule
Updated 9/18/2010 Part of a series of back-of-the-napkin thoughts about the Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival (GSCBF), held in San Rafael, CA from Friday, April 26th through Sunday, April 28, 1974. Previous installments: GSCBF1: just a mention GSCBF2: a plea for a release of the film and tapes! I have mentioned that there are several…

GD at Eagles Auditorium, Seattle, WA, January 1968
I am going to argue that the Quick and the Dead played Eagles Auditorium in Seattle, WA on Friday, January 26 and Saturday, January 27, 1968, and *not* on Monday 1/22 and Tuesday 1/23. This may well be widely accepted, but since the tapes still circulate with the latter dates, and Deadlists remains a bit…
