    ad for Keystone, Berkeley, July 19 – August 1, 1973; Berkeley Barb (7/19/73-8/1/73), p. 21 Let me just make a few points to head up these listening notes for this newly-circulated version of these rehearsals. They are very, very important. First, the provenance of the tape is awesome. Thanks to the Pacific Northwest Crew for…

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • OAITW late summer 1973 advertised shows: probably didn’t happen.

    Boy oh boy has it been quiet in the blogosphere that I know (here, LLD, and chez LIA). Busy busy busy with other things. So, just to warm back up, I figured I’d grab a small random thing. At various places and times I had speculated on/wondered about some possible Old And In The Way…

  • GSCBF2: Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival: San Rafael, CA, April 26-28, 1974

    I am going to probably do a series of posts on the Golden State Country Bluegrass Festival, which was held in San Rafael from April 26-28, 1974. I have become rather obsessed with this festival. It barely gets mentioned in most Dead-/Jerry-ology, but I think it provides a fascinating glimpse into all kinds of things:…

  • Where was Garcia on July 26 or 29, 1973?

    My previous post contemplated where Garcia was on July 4, 1973, based on ads published in a bluegrass magazine. This post does precisely the same thing for July 26 or 29, 1973. As you can see, Jerry Garcia is listed among the acts appearing at the First Annual West Virginia Peace, Love, Blues and Bluesgrass…
