Most important, from the perspective of Garcia on the Side (GOTS) were the Robert Castelli tapes, a handful of recordings made by the gentleman of that name…

  • 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.

  • Matrix Tapes

    I was just reminded that I had posted a long list of one source of “Matrix Tapes” in comments on the “High Country 2/19/69” show at Lost Live Dead in 2009. I reproduce it here. I’d love to concatenate the various lists and fill in as much sourcing information as I can. Perhaps I’ll give…
