Jersey Shore, Jerry and Scher (VN jg1977-07-09.jgb.early)
In July 1977, the Jerry Garcia Band went out east for a few big paydays playing for John Scher in Hempstead, NY and two shows on the Jersey Shore, at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park. I have reported on the first night (7/8) and on the 7/9 late show from an audience tape. Lots…

Checking Donna Out While Jamming With Her Husband: JGB, April 2, 1976
VN jg1976-04-02.jgb.late.video-youtube-Deadvids I’ll tag this “VN” in the title, for viewing notes. B&W Monarch Entertainment video from the Cap in Passaic. Not even a crusty aud in circulation, and low-gen video of the complete show drops from the sky, 38 years later. Wow. Viewing notes below. One of the most interesting things for me is…

Rockabilly JGB Doing Not Fade Away: July 9, 1977
LN jg1977-07-09.jgb.late-2.aud-strange-miller.124426.flac1644 Not a whole ton to say, not a ton of time, so I’ll just bullet. Donna is absent. I wonder why? I need to document her 1977 absences, because there was a good number. “Not Fade Away” is a JGB singleton, and is very interesting. Jerry is super-fired up for it and does…

Wow. Earliest known JGB video. Wonderful. Hopefully there’s more video from the Cap yet to emerge! Thanks to whomever unearthed and shared this. Great, great stuff.

update 20170710: Here the show doesn’t light me up, yet my CC aud listening notes from a month before this post include this: The show is quite hot, IMO. MITR ends in a manic flurry. Tore Up, my notes tell me, is “ridiculous”. Jerry is *really* into this Dixie Down. RIR is absolutely fantastic, with…

LN jg1975-04-05.lom.early.aud-CC.xxxxxx.flac2448
So, this show has not really circulated complete, unless it does and I missed it. Nice to hear the John Scher introduction intact. The first 60 minutes have never made the digital jump, as far as I know. There’s a “Creepin’” here, which is conceptually interesting but practically, to my ears, not so much. We…

List of John Scher – promoted concerts
Does anyone know a list of John Scher-promoted concerts? I thought, one day, while I’m at it, why don’t I systematically start coding in PROMOTERs? Yeah, that won’t take long! So, having more or less finished coding Jefferson Airplane through 1969, I have taken to coding promoters for them and all of the Garcia stuff,…
