  • Hooteroll? Next Part

    Corry’s original post on LLD: “Hooteroll?–When Was It Recorded?“, with lots of great comments. My response: “Response to LLD’s Hooteroll–When Was It Recorded?” A number of commenters to these posts, including sraile and LIA, as well as more from Corry, have added valuable thoughts and information. Thank you all! The purpose of this post is…

  • Response to LLD’s Hooteroll–When Was It Recorded?

    Corry has an important and rich post over at LLD on the mystery that shrouds the recording of Howard Wales / Jerry Garcia, Hooteroll [deaddisc entry]. I started to reply in comments over there, but began to write more than I thought suitable for that little sub-medium (a minimum?), so I thought I’d just let…

  • a few more Surrealistic Pillow tidbits

    LIA did a great post on Garcia on Surrealistic Pillow, partly in response to the little tidbit I posted about. I love how fully many of my fellow, GD/JG scholar-bloggers are able to develop thoughts and evidence in this medium. It is much harder than I would have thought, but of course very, very enjoyable.…

  • HWJG: Quick Questions on the January ’72 East Coast Tour

    Howard Wales and Jerry Garcia (HWJG) is another one of these things about which I have a great deal to say, but no time to get it down except in dribs and drabs. So be it. Quick question or two on the January 1972 east coast tour they did, Jerry’s first non-GD-related paying gigs in…

  • GD, official releases by date

    I have extolled the virtues of Matt Scofield’s masterful deaddisc site before, but I have just been dabbling in updating my files w/r/t official releases, and his information is incredible: http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Dead_By_Date.htm Just thought I’d throw that link out for those who might need it. I really should update and finalize the same kind of info…

  • Garcia on Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow

    Was just pointed to this early 1967 interview (audio only) with Garcia posted at youtube. Not sure I had heard it before, but I think it contains a tidbit or two that are not pinned down yet regarding Garcia’s contributions to the Jefferson Airplane blockbuster Surrealistic Pillow. So this is sort of of a piece…

  • Cat in the Limelight: RN Grosswald and Blavat 1978

    Grosswald, Mike and Glen Blavat. 1978. Jerry Garcia’s Band Under the Stars. Happytimes (Philadelphia), March 31, 1978, p. 15. Grosswald-Bavat 1978: This is a really nicely done piece from what I assume was a Philly underground paper, Happytimes, around the time of the JGB’s visit to that town in mid-March (3/16/78 at the Spectrum Theatre).…

  • Garcia on Stephen Stills albums

    Matt Scofield’s discography, at http://www.deaddisc.com/, is one of those incredible community resources that I have vowed never to take for granted. It’s amazing, obviously a labor of love, and it contains a wealth of information about the GD, Garcia, and lots of the related and contemporaneous acts, venues, albums and individuals of interest. Here I’ll…

  • JGMS: July 11, 1973, Keystone, Berkeley, CA

    A while back I did a little miniseries linking the July 1973 Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders shows at Keystone Berkeley to the official releases. I did it from the show perspective and from the album perspective. I.e., July 10, 1973: what goes on which albums; Live at Keystone, vol. 1 (CD): which songs come from which…

  • Mid-1975 album mixing at Heider’s

    Can you tell I am going through some fragments? Anyway, this little tidbit, from August 1975, has me a bit puzzled. Which album is this? I just don’t recall any Jerry-related work at Heider’s at this time. The Grateful Dead might have been referred to in this way at this time (they had played the…
