“the world’s most recorded musician in the world’s most famous arena”
Jerrybase: https://jerrybase.com/events/19911115-01 The Red Light folks tagged GarciaLive 16 (MSG 11/15/91) with the subject line, and I have to say that it’s badass. That crew does a good job, IMO. I am not kissing up. It’s a hard job and they have released some amazing stuff. And that’s just a good line. Tip o’ the cap.…

Between the Bottom Lines (Lennon and Garcia at the Bottom Line, November 5, 1974) (Guest post by Scott Raile)
[note: for a very long time it has been known that John Lennon saw Jerry at the Bottom Line, and various accounts of a meeting, possible sit-in, as well as the date of this encounter have been given over the years. Historian Scott Raile nailed it down as November 5, 1974 in comments to a…

August 1971 Crosby super session / double album project to end the Vietnam War?
update: Never Trust A Prankster 🙂 via GIPHY Bruce Rostenstein was an ouststanding rock columnist for the American University Eagle in the early 1970s. That paper has been digitized, and like so many other college papers, offers up all kinds of goodness for the intrepid researcher. His October 29, 1971 column brings forth something I have…

Nina Blackwood Interviews Jerry Garcia for MTV, ca. June 2, 1983
Some classic lines here, like the studio as building a ship in a bottle and playing live like piloting a rowboat in the ocean. I wasn’t super careful about getting everything 100% perfect, especially not where there’s GD talk. I am not 100% certain about the geolocation, but it’s got to be about right. Jerry…

Calderone Valentine: JGB in Hempstead, NY, February 14, 1981
LN jg1981-02-14.jgb.all.aud-hance.155565.flac2496 Just did the previous night, and I had just listened to this one to get a load of the fresh transfer from John Jay Hance‘s master. I hear plenty of stuff to like, don’t go into much detail. The “Like A Road” feels really sweet. Quicky listening notes. Jerry Garcia Band Calderone Concert Hall…

The Romanesque Church Design Was Based On The Roman Basilica: Discuss (JGB at the Knick in Albany, November 3, 1993)
I just marveled at the almost 90-minute second set offered up on 12/22/90, and got to wondering about post-coma others that might match or beat it in duration. I recalled some long sets on the 11/93 tour, recalled that I had unposted (because not very informative) notes on 11/3/93 (my 23rd birthday, though I was…

Segueing Out of Stony Brook: JGB in Pritchard Gym, SUNY Stony Brook, December 4, 1983
Lawn Guy Land, and especially SUNY Stony Brook, stands in the pantheon as one of the ground zero sites of the birth and development of the East Coast Deadhead and, by derivation, of the East Coast Garcia Freak. The Dead played Pritchard Gym on campus very early on, and, as so often happened, the Garcia…

JGB in Binghamton, November 20, 1977: first night DLG + LAALWFH = 1/2 (two weeks later DLG + LAALWFH)
LN jg1977-11-20.jgb.all.sbd.141495.flac1644 First night of the fall ’77 Garcia Band tour (22 gigs in 22 nights), third live gig for young Buzzy Buchanan in the drummer’s seat. The great Jerry Moore had some nasty thoughts about him, but I think he sounds fine here. Keeping time for this group could not have been a picnic. I…

Kenny Kosek
Has anyone ever pinned down the dates on which Kenny Kosek performed with JGAB on Broadway? I know he came out west for the Warfield and Wiltern gigs, but I have never pinned down when he was and was not present at the Lunt-Fontanne.
