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…

Harpur College NRPS set
“Enough about the Dead, how was the New Riders’ set?” – one guy, once Any Deadhead worth her salt knows the Harpur College gig from May 2, 1970. It’s a monster, one of the Dead’s best, and long-circulating from FM tapes; it has blown a lot of minds. I don’t remember hearing much about the…

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. On any given night, Jerry Garcia could deliver the fucking goods, and this is the fucking goods. Everything crackles. I have titled…

A Pigless Monster at the Fillmore East: July 12, 1970
LN jg1970-07-12.nrps-gd.aud-cooper.122707.flac1644 More old listening notes. The “Not Fade Away” and “Good Lovin’” from the electric Dead set feature absolutely top shelf rock and roll playing. 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.…

BOAT TWYDTTYD: JGB, Palladium, November 10, 1981 (late show)
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…

Nice tape, nice show. Bob Minkin took some nice photos this night, a bunch of tapers nailed it, the band sounds strong. This must have been a great, weird old room.

March 23, 1975 – Jerry Garcia Interview
I don’t know who the interviewer is, nor the radio station from which this particular recorded. It is the first track of shnid-126296. This is the interview Jerry gave before the SNACK Benefit at Kezar Stadium. Sounds like reading the newspapers around the time of the show will prove interesting, mismanagement of budgets by bureaucrats…
