  • Gee Baby, Ain’t I Good To You?

    A little over a year ago, I found a review of a unique-sounding Garcia-Saunders gig, backing Maria Muldaur at the Berkeley Community Theatre on October 12, 1974. While unique at the gig level, it turns out that JGMS backing John Kahn’s then-“old lady” Maria Muldaur, still flying high from a hit record or two, was…

  • 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. Thus began a little weekend…

  • Walkin’ One and Only: JGMS backing Maria Muldaur, BCT, October 12, 1974

    updated with newly-unearthed Phillip Elwood review Well, well, well … just found a review of a Maria Muldaur show at BCT on Saturday, October 12, 1974 in the Berkeley Barb (Wikarska 1974). Maria worked with three bands this night. 1) David Nichtern (I presume “and the Nocturnes”): Nichtern, Hank DeVito on steel, Larry Jones on…

  • NRPS (formerly The Murdering Punks) – August 7, 1969

    There has long been a tape identified as New Riders Of The Purple Sage (NRPS), Thursday, August 7, 1969 at the Matrix in San Francisco. Corry has found corroborating evidence for the dating, though of course the tape cannot be tied to the Ralph Gleason “On The Town” listing he found, which bills the band…

  • The Common: September 5-6-7 ish, 1969

    Berkeley Tribe, August 8-14, 1969, p. 3. Regular readers will know that I have been chasing the idea of “Jerry and the Jeffersons” in my head for a good long while. It narrates the arc of Garcia’s life as a process of gradual privatization. I started it years ago, have picked it up and put…

  • Jim Nelson on the Drums and Several Great Rarities: JGMS at Keystone, October 4, 1974

    LN jg1974-10-04.jgms.all.aud-falanga.8649.shn2flac This is great to hear. Three points of historical interest. 1) Louis Falanga’s onstage audience tapes are great documents. 2) Lots of interesting material including, here, some great jazz (“Valdez In The Country”, “People Make The World Go Round”, “Freedom Jazz Dance”), and a great rare (in the Garciaverse) Motown, “Ain’t No Mountain…

  • Darben The Redd Foxx

    Commenter Nick’s encyclopedic discographical resources (vinyl and knowledge) rescue me/us from an error and afford a little glancing blow through American culture that helps us situate Garcia in his world. The song currently understood as “Ptah, the El Daoud” (Alice Coltrane), previously understood “Bag’s Groove” (Milt Jackson), performed by Garcia-Saunders on June 4 and June…
