    Program cover for An Evening With the Grateful Dead; Featuring The New Riders of the Purple Sage; Joe’s Lights. Fillmore East, September 17-20, 1970. Already the September 17-20, 1970 GD-NRPS run was the New Riders’ third trip to Bill Graham’s Fillmore East in the “An Evening With The Grateful Dead” format. On May 15 they…

  • GD/NRPS: April 19, 1971, Gymnasium, Hofstra University, West Hempstead, NY (CANCELED)

    Corry and I have been documenting some of the GD’s early 1971 logistical difficulties.

  • The end of the November 1974 Jerry Garcia – Merl Saunders (JGMS) east coast tour

    There is so much to say about the November 1974 east coast tour undertaken by the Jerry Garcia / Merl Saunders group (the quintet of Garcia [el-g, vocals], Saunders [keyboards, vocals], John Kahn [el-bass], Martin Fierro [horns], and future Lawrence Welk drummer Paul Humphrey). Garcia had done two national “tours” outside the Grateful Dead prior…

  • Jerry Garcia and John Scher

    Probably premature for me to post about this, since there’s probably tons to say and I haven’t really combed through, less still thought much about it. But just came across a little 1982 Billboard piece (1) documenting a big move by John Scher into NYC. According to the reporter, “The move ends a de facto…

  • Jerry Garcia and Friends: March 25, 1972, Academy of Music, New York, NY

    https://jerrybase.com/events/19720325-03 Bo Diddley, Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir: Saturday, March 25, 1972, Hells Angels Benefit at the Academy of Music, New York, NY. I sure feel inept not knowing more about this venue. I assume it’s the one at 126 14th Street, New York, NY? I am basing that on this random bit of info…

  • A Monster Don’t Let Go at Hartwick College, December 3, 1977

    LN jg1977-12-03.jgb.90mins.aud-unk-russell.LOSSY.flac1644 update whenever: seems like this material is lossy. One hopes the source tapes can be located and archived at higher resolution (on the sonic plane for sure, but also informationally!). Not a huge amount to say. A show that has been MiA, around which some setlist uncertainty remains. See my overly baroque notes below.…

  • Reading Notes: Jackson, Harry. 1970. On Tour with the Dead. Zygote, July 22, 1970: 41-44.

    I have only a bad photocopy, with no page numbers, of an article written by Harry Jackson, with the only visible title word being “dead.” I am not 100% sure the above reference is correct. I will refer to pages as they appear on my copy. The article is based on observation/interview at the March…

  • The mystery of the Jerry Garcia Band 11/28/77 ticket stubs

    I just don’t know what to make of this.   What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, are five unique ticket stubs for a Jerry Garcia show at SUNY Stony Brook (Gym) on November 28, 1977.  There is another stub that used to be linked from the Jerry Site which is distinct from these five.…

  • GD: November 11, 1970, 46th Street Rock Palace, Brooklyn, NY

    From a website on forgotten NY places, which links over to setlist.net, I found this really neat recollection of the GD’s November 11, 1970 show at the 46th Street Rock Palace in Brooklyn, NY. This was possibly one of the weirdest shows I ever saw (but enjoyable nevertheless). It took place on a Weds about…

  • GD: September 15-16, 1972, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY (CANCELED)

    Security & related concerns among the citizenry led to the cancellation of these shows in late August. Advanced ticket sales had already been underway, with ca. 4,000 ducats sold. GD would end up at Boston Music Hall for these dates … not a bad landing, though presumably much, much smaller. REFERENCES Red Wildy, “SPAC Postponing…
