New-to-The-List from the Digitized Chronicle
After spending X hours over X years spinning microfilm to try to find the needles of unListed Garcia gigs in the haystack of the Chronicle, the paper has been digitized. Je ne regrette rien! That said, I was able to find a few listings for The List. At this point, I cannot imagine we are…

Enter Tom Fogerty
update 20230712 I have no idea why I inferred Tom Fogerty saw JGMS at Keystone Korner on 5/20/71. It seems more likely to have been 5/22/71, and his arrival may mark why they made tapes of the next two nights. Further, I have no idea why I inferred he first joined in Berkeley on 5/26/71, when…

Grateful Dead at New Monk, Berkeley, ca. June-July 1971
One night I went to hear Jerry play a gig with Merle [sic] Saunders at a small place in Berkeley and one by one, for ‘no reason’, the rest of the Dead showed up too, and eventually they got on the stage and started playing — Charles Reich, Spring 1972 (Reich 2003 [1972], xv). Assuming…

“Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders & Tom Fogerty Sat-Sun, New Monk”
SFC 7/2/71 p. 52 Last year I spun some 1970 and early 1971 microfilm of the San Francisco Chronicle, and found seven new-to-The-List shows in a three-month span. If you follow the blog or scroll down a bit chronologically, you’ll see that I have continued to discover more in the 1971-1972 period, and even as…

NRPS: June 12-13, 1971, Keystone Korner, San Francisco, CA
So, I discovered this ad for New Riders of the Purple Sage at Keystone Korner on June 12-13, 1971 when going through the Berkeley Barb last summer … the old fashioned way … microfilm. Makes my eyes dry up just thinking about it. All well and good. I assume Jerry was there.and have updated my…
