  • On Tours and Marketing Records

    Over at Jerrybase, we have begun grouping events not only by “runs” (consecutive nights at the same venue), but also “tours”. It turns out that the notion of a tour isn’t quite as crystal clear as one might want it. I wanted it to be at least three out of town gigs in at least…

  • Stinson History

    Stinson Beach Music Scene Time Line: 1960s to the Present The site above was just brought to my attention. I can’t find an email for anyone in the organization based on a cursory search, so I thought I post some reactions here. The prompt for all of this is the newly digitized source for the…

  • Great American String Band – May 5, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley

    Sunday, May 5, 1974 found Garcia at the Keystone (typical), but in the background, picking some banjo in the Great American String Band behind its featured front line of Richard Greene (fiddle), David Grisman (mandolin), and David Nichtern (guitar and vocals). Rather remarkably, we know a fair bit of very interesting stuff about this gig,…

Having found nothing on Danny “Selwell”, I wrote So interesting. Jerry and…

  • Grateful Dead Three Ways: December 20, 1975

    Selvin (1975c) reviewed the December 19, 1975 Winterland show billing Keith and Donna Godchaux, Kingfish, and the Jerry Garcia Band as “Grateful Dead Divided Three Ways”. Hence, my title, even though I am working the crossings through the next night. Since I have fallen down the rabbit hole of a long post on 10/17/75, and…
