The real dates of the “September 1, 1974” material
Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Band, Pure Jerry 4: Keystone, Berkeley, September 1, 1974 (Jerry Made JGCD0004, 2004). We always knew that this was a hodgepodge of dates (there are several set/end-of-show announcements, in weird spots if we have a continuous show from 9/1/74). But what little evidence we have suggests that things are more…

JGB at Freeborn Hall, November 12, 1976
Sometime in the afternoon or thereabouts of Friday, November 12, 1976, Garcia, John Kahn, Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, probably Richard Loren hopped into sedans being driven by monitor mixer Harry Popick and roadie Bill ‘Kidd’ Candelario to Davis, California, about a hundred miles east of San Francisco on I-80.

Bill Cooper Interviews Jerry Garcia, May 1982
Here’s a nice companion piece that really resonates with “Bob Coburn Interviews Jerry Garcia, November 8, 1982″. My notes/transcriptions are little sketchy, but here’s what jumps out to me. On Run for the Roses, with some anti-marketing: I’ve been working on it for quite a long time. I’ve had to squeeze it in amongst and…

Great American String Band – May 5, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley
Sunday, May 5, 1974 found Garcia at the Keystone (typical), but in the background, picking some banjo in the Great American String Band behind its featured front line of Richard Greene (fiddle), David Grisman (mandolin), and David Nichtern (guitar and vocals). Rather remarkably, we know a fair bit of very interesting stuff about this gig,…

Eskimo Blue Day
Just found Garcia at Heider’s (SF) on May 27, 1969 with the Airplane (Grace, Paul, Spencer, Jorma – very vew times I have found all of the Jeffersons listed on the same sessions!). What’s interesting is that, as far as I know, Garcia is only known to have contributed (pedal steel) to “The Farm” on…

Cats in the Studio: September 1977
–> I can’t write up everything I have gathered around the recording of Garcia’s 1978 masterpiece Cats Under the Stars, not now, and, alas, perhaps not ever in any true sense of the word “everything”. Once I write the book I plan on just throwing open all of my materials and letting others have at…
