  • JGB Spring ’93 SoCal

    Preface: JGB in SoCal Little springtime SoCal jaunts became a regular thing for JGB starting in 1983. (OK, that was very late winter, but March is generally pretty springy down there.) Some were one- or two-offs, others were a little more elaborate. Here’s a sketch. 1983: 3/11a and 3/11b in Santa Barbara; 3/12a and 3/12b,…

Starting in spring 1983, the band started doing what were called “tours” in-house, but were typically just a couple days, couple…

  • Compensation on TDIH

    I have explored, mentally more than online, the hypothesis that when Jerry’s vocals were especially, noteworthily bad, he compensated with his guitar playing, really concentrating on it and giving it extra “oomph”. If we could gather all the data (like continuous measures of the quality of singing and guitar playing), the compensation hypothesis might be…

  • San Diego Public Library, and Public Libraries

    I am in love with libraries. Is there a word for this? Someone has asked a Yahoo, but I am not sure I see an answer that works for me. So, as a book-lover is a bibliophile, as a word-lover is a philologist, what is a library-lover? Anyway, San Diego Public Library, http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/, stands as…

  • JGMS in San Diego 11/18/73 probably rained out

    The List has long given Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders at the Aztec Bowl, San Diego State College (I think it was still this C and not a U at the time), November 18, 1973. Because Garcia and Saunders had barely played out of the Bay Area by that time (Ash Grove in LA 5/29-30/73,…

  • Righteousness, and Two Guests: JGMS, Keystone Berkeley, February 16, 1974

    LN jg1974-02-16.jgms.all.sbd-alligator.91471.flac1644 A few days ago I posted about an advertised but canceled Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders band gig (Kahn and Kreutzmann rounding things out) scheduled for 2/16/74 at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. I irresponsibly dropped a few notes about the replacement show for the night, and here I follow up on…
