  • “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.…

  • On Tours and Marketing Records

    Over at Jerrybase, we have begun grouping events not only by “runs” (consecutive nights at the same venue), but also “tours”. It turns out that the notion of a tour isn’t quite as crystal clear as one might want it. I wanted it to be at least three out of town gigs in at least…

  • JGB Debuting Señor and Tears of Rage: The February 1990 Warfield Run

    LN jg1990-02-02.jgb.all.aud-darroch-paul.86658.flac1644LN jg1990-02-03.jgb.all-1.sbd-seaweed.114060.flac1644LN jg1990-02-04.jgb.all.aud-buick.30811.flac1644 The Jerry Garcia organization embraced a “no taping” policy, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear given the principal’s own experience recording bluegrass in the Sixties, his oft-stated indifference to audience taping in the Grateful Dead (GD) context (“when we’re done with it, they can have it”), the Dead’s own allowances in the form, from…

  • The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast: Season 3 – Episode 9: Skull & Roses 50: Garcia

    All about Jerry’s first solo record, Garcia, recorded 50 years ago last month. Great stuff, and then also a little pedantry from yours truly. The Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast is a national treasure!

  • Rolling Thunder Data

    Rumor has long had it that Mickey has a massive trove of tape and information related to recordings made at his barn studio, a.k.a. Rolling Thunder, at 2495 Novato Blvd. between about 1971 and sometime in the early 1980s. As usual, Corry has done outstanding work pinning some of this down, but there’s probably oodles…

  • Does anybody know how to reach Matt Kelly?

    I am hoping to find dates for the 1973 Record Plant session work, with Jerry, that ended up on Wing And A Prayer. Email me if you have email for him, or point him here. TIA!

  • Not For Kids Only Deluxe (Acoustic Disc DLACD-09, 2020)

    https://acousticdisc.com/product/jerry-garcia-and-david-grisman-not-for-kids-only-download/ This happened without my noticing at the time (whenever it was in that accursed year, just passed, that shall not be named). But Acoustic Disc has remastered the Not For Kids Only (Acoustic Disc ACD 9, 1993), added four bonus tracks, and offered it up for download. I am spinning the high-def (24bit / 96…

  • Dawn of the NRPS

    I am sure you have already pre-ordered, as I just did, but just in case, here’s link to the upcoming Owsley Stanley Foundation (OSF) release called “Dawn of the New Riders of the Purple Sage”. I cannot freaking wait to hear this! https://owsleystanleyfoundation.org/bears-sonic-journals/dawn-of-the-new-riders-of-the-purple-sage/

  • Eels

    I am sure you all know this, but all three of Jerry’s gigs at on the Eel River are slated for release. I have written a little about the 6/10/89 and 8/10/91 iterations.

  • Good Old Boys at Margarita’s Cantina!

    https://homegrownmusic.net/store/cd/good-old-boys-live-2cd John Cutler taped these shows from February 20-21, 1975, and they are now up for official release. Wow! Cryptdev saw one of these shows. See also: Corry, “The Good Old Boys: Jerry Garcia, Producer (and some banjo)“ My goodness, can’t wait to hear these.
