Where Were the GD on December 24, 1970?
My list of canceled Grateful Dead gigs shows Thursday, December 24, 1970 at City Center, New York, NY. Deadbase listed as canceled, with note “Not possible with Winterland the night before”. Two things. First, I think we are learning that they’d fly for a gig, so I am not 100% sure this is a safe…

San Diego Public Library, and Public Libraries
I am in love with libraries. Is there a word for this? Someone has asked a Yahoo, but I am not sure I see an answer that works for me. So, as a book-lover is a bibliophile, as a word-lover is a philologist, what is a library-lover? Anyway, San Diego Public Library, http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/, stands as…

I sing the blues, where has it led?
LN jg1983-05-31.jgb.all.aud-vita.76578.flac1644 On Tuesday, May 31, 1983, the Jerry Garcia Band (#15c) lit up an SRO West 52nd Street institution, the venerable Roseland Ballroom, with one of the finest shows of the 1980s.

Look at how I go off on this stuff wow wow wow wow wow and all that. If this tape sounded better, this’d be in the canon with 5/2/70.…

LN jg1981-11-10.jgb.late.aud-stankiewicz.127293.flac2496 JGB played The Palladium twice in 1981, 2/11/81 and this night. Richie Stankiewicz taped both nights. Both really good shows and really good tapes. This one has the best of all time (BOAT, in some circles) Garcia Band version of “The Way You Do The Things You Do”, IMO. It’s quite good. I…
