  • Little Legal Matters: JGB #1 at Keystone, November 8, 1975

    LN jg1975-11-08.jgb.all.aud-castelli-motb-0151.109001.flac1644 ad for JGB 11/8/75 at Keystone, SFSECDB-19751102-p31 Not going to do long listening notes, so a few random bits from this one. First, “Micky” [sic] Hopkins. Heh heh. We are easily amused here. Also @Corry: the ad says advance tickets at BASS, but that was absolutely not the case for any Jerry show at…

  • Listening Notes: GASB, Thursday, June 13, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley (Castelli MAC)

    Having just posted on the sbd recording from this show, I’ll post my notes from the newly circulating audience recording by Robert Castelli (1644-shnid 110663, 2496-shnid 110798).
