  • David Grisman and Peter Rowan at the Freight and Salvage, December 29, 1972

    I wonder what they played?

  • Reading Notes – Loren 2014

    Loren, Richard, with Stephen Abney. 2014. High Notes: A Rock Memoir. Demariscotta, ME: East Pond Publishing. When I read a book that I will need to be able to cite chapter and verse, this is how I arrange the chapters and verses. I just pull out quotes and other observations, I effectively tag them, and…

  • New Lost City Ramblers Song Book

    Seeger, Mike, and John Cohen, eds. 1964. The New Lost City Ramblers Song Book. New York: Oak Books. Here’s a brief list of tunes in the NLCR songbook that Garcia is known to have played. This does not include the Elizabeth Cotten tunes (I have considered them separately) and has not been carefully vetted, since…

  • OAITW at Homer’s Warehouse – March 4, 1973

    This started off, and can still function, as a post with the setlists for the 3/4/73 OAITW gigs at Homer’s Warehouse. But now there are a few other fragmentary thoughts. Jerry Garcia lived an idyll at Sans Souci (18 Avenida Farallone, Stinson Beach, CA, 94970, map). It was his most domestic period, living with MG…

  • OAITW – October 5, 1973, Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA

    Ahhh, beautiful, beautiful libraries. Below is the stuff I found around the Old And In The Way gig played Friday, October 5, 1973 at the Civic Auditorium, 307 Church Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 [map | Jerrybase | JGC | JGBP]. cryptdev was in attendance!

  • Hilarious

    “I realized that in the excitement of meeting Jerry Garcia I had pissed all over my white boots with alligator tips”

  • 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…

  • Reading Notes: Jon Sievert’s 1978 Guitar Player interview with Jerry Garcia

    Man, this is such a great interview. Sievert always connected well with Jerry. These are my “reading notes”, which just means that I am drawing quotes and dropping them back into context. So, for example, some of the pedal steel talk below has been pasted back into my materials on the pedal steel guitar and…
