  • GAMB: July 7, 1974, CXL’D?

    So, these showed up on ebay a few months back. Poster advertising a “Freak Fair” from July 4-7, 1974 at Shorebird Park on the Berkeley Marina. The red-and-white line drawn poster features illustrations of a native American, a hot air balloon “Enterprise”, a geodesic dome, and mintrally-inspired freaks dancing. Listed attractions include jugglers, belly dancers,…

  • Updated LN jg1973-04-16.oaitw.a.fm-nfagdtrfb.100404.flac1644

    Man, I have been busy. Anyway, some time ago I did a half-assed “listening notes” on the circulating set (set I) of OAITW 4/16/73. This is one of the “Four Nights at the Boarding House” that seem so incredibly, richly evocative of what a relatively healthy, happy, loose and jamming Garcia wanted out of his…

  • Four Nights at the Boarding House: April 13-16, 1973

    “Scenedrome,” Berkeley Barb, April 13-19, 1973, p. 18 Check out Jerry for these four nights: Friday, 4/13/73: JGMS @ Boarding House. We know from tapes that George Tickner is on rhythm guitar.

    I have made an updated post on this fileset. This one is deprecated. http://db.etree.org/shn/100404/ Not much time to get very elaborate, but a little more detail on this fileset.

  • LN jg1973-xx-xx.oaitw.88mins.sbd-PNW.99222.flac1644

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • The Birth of the Great American Music Band

    Editor’s Note: I should point out that the timing of this post was inspired by Corry, who has recently posted on the misty origins of OAITW and who earlier had posted on what might have been the “public debut of a very important band,” the GAMB. While I think this post casts a different light…
