Donny’s Debut: JGB at the Warfield, February 4, 1994
LN jg1994-02-04.jgb.all.aud-vasseur.146010.flac1644 Friday, February 4, 1994 through Sunday, February 6, 1994 are super interesting, for reasons that may not be independent. The amazing drummer David Kemper was let go at some point between the end of the fall ’93 tour and the first night of this run, for reasons that seem unclear even to him. After…

From the Picky Deadhead Department
Nice to see people reading around some old posts. My writing is so tortured, but I do still love some of the ground we have covered together. Thanks for your support. From the Picky Deadhead Department I happily bought 7/5/73 (Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, GarciaLive 6: July 5th 1973, Lion’s Share [Round Records, JGFRR1009,…

Reading Notes: Signpost to a New Space and Stoned Sunday Rap
These are “reading notes” – little stuff I cull when I read. I copy and paste the quotes into thematic documents (e.g., drugs.docx), so all of this has been “processed” out of the book, and up one level, into thematic or other kinds of buckets. You may not find the quotes of greatest interest to…

Me being me, I have always wondered about the dates of these sessions. Here is the timeline for what…

Grateful Dead at Clifford’s Catering, Walnut Creek, March 1-2, 1968

“M.G. is writing a book”
http://danb.altervista.org/Default.htm 07/06/15 – From p.84 of the July/August 2015 issue of Relix: [Trixie Garcia is now] on the board of the Grateful Dead with the band’s surviving members—Lesh, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. In many ways, she has become Garcia’s avatar. . . She’s excited that M.G. is writing a book. She’s relieved…

Jerry’s January 1976
(formatting will almost certainly be a mess – I blame Blogger) I. Preface My band is in a state of flux right now. John Kahn and Ron Tutt and I are the main … are the nucleus of it, such as it is. We’re hoping to have a four-piece band that we all like, sometime.…

Zimmy at Sans Souci
Many counter culture luminaries found their way to Sans Souci in those days. On one memorable occasion, Grisman brought Bob Dylan along for a rehearsal at the house. “It was kind of exciting,” [Mountain Girl] remembered. “I baked chocolate chip cookies, and they all seemed to be having a rousing good time, playing together in…
