  • Sebastopol Benefit: March 22, 1978

    LN jg1978-03-22.jgb.all.sbd-ladner.19832.shn2flac As a prelude to a review of the off-to-a-great-start GarciaLive 4 release of the Sebastopol 3/22/78 benefit show, here are some fragmentary listening notes from a year ago on the rough circulating sbd copy. It appears that I engaged the question of the pianist on that very date over at Corry’s post (probably…

  • Garcia Talks Locally, Fall 1972

    Staska, Kathie, and George Mangrum. 1972. Rock Talk by KG: Jerry Garcia discusses Grateful Dead, albums. Hayward Daily Review, October 12, 1972, p. 42. It’s a marvel to study Garcia interviews over the years in all kinds of ways. The man could talk as knowledgeably, engagingly, expansively, and articulately as he played the guitar, which…

  • We’re Having a Reasonably Good Time Here

    LN jg1989-01-28.jgb.all.sbd-goetz-retracked.28352.shn2flac Love this show. Two snaps up. A few bullets. First, I had a cryptic note-to-self in the 1/27/89 listening notes to elaborate on the “a year too late” thesis. In a nutshell, it’s my argument that when JGB recorded itself in 1990 at the Warfield for what would become the eponymous 1991 double-live…

  • GarciaLive volume 4: March 22, 1978

    http://www.musictap.net/2014/05/29/tapsheet-release-notes-05292014-us-report/ ATO Records will release Garcia Live, Volume 4: March 22nd, 1978 Veteran’s featuring Jerry Garcia Band. The set will be released on 2CD on July 8. This is great news! I hope the liner notes are informative, and I can’t wait to hear it. The only circulating tape (shnid-19832) has pretty significant issues. Naturally,…

  • Thelma

    Paul Liberatore has a good review in the I-J. Looking forward to checking this one out.

  • Keith. And, Modernity.

    Introduction: A Document In my post “Keith Speaks”, I threw out some raw materials on Fall 1971, Keith, FM broadcasts, as illuminated by a great little piece in the Chicago music mag The Now Sound. But I didn’t really add any value. Well a new piece has just come across my brain, and I wanted…

  • Fall 1971: Keith Speaks, records, FM broadcasts

    van Matre, Lynn. 1972. The Grateful Dead Haven’t Changed Much. Now Sound 1, 4 (January): 4, 14. Very brief little piece, the text of which I reproduce in full, à la Dead Sources, below the fold. Here, just a few bullets, I’ll also file under “reading notes“. The interview material with Phil Lesh and Keith…

  • Grateful Dead at Olompali, ca. June 1969

    I was just sniffing around Olompali a little bit. It’s a powerful place. I need to write a lot about it. Anyway, sniffing around, as I say, and I come across this image: And it comes from this blog post: http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/so-who-needs-state-and-national-parks-anyway/ I only infer June 1969 because that’s how the picture is dated. The I…

  • RN Peter Simon 1975 New Age Journal

    Simon, Peter. 1975. Making Musical Miracles: An Interview with Jerry Garcia. New Age Journal .5 (May 1975): 52-59. This is a really neat piece, lots of great stuff.  Interview took place at the “film house”  (230 Eldridge Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941), ca. the last week of March 1975. Love his notion of “tight-loose” forms…

  • Review of Legion of Mary 12/15/74 EMU Ballroom

    With the release of this show, thought I’d post the review that I have in my collection. The release sounds fantastic, and I am loving it so far. If I had time to blog, I’d analyze the liner notes and the music and the gigs and all that. But, no time. Deaddisc has an entry…
