  • JGMS March 22, 1974 – Chateau Liberté

    The McNally-Arnold JG List included Garcia-Saunders on March 22, 1974 at the Chateau Liberté. I presently list the address as 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway, Los Gatos, CA 95033 [map | JGBP | JGC | Cryptical Developments | see also LLD]. I know of no documentation of this in the public realm, just the listing,…

Pretty nice tape that puts you FOB, but the show is…

  • When did Melvin Seals begin with JGB?

    Edited 20110216 The Jerry Garcia Band show listed as Saturday, December 20, 1980, Keystone Palo Alto, Palo Alto, CA, has always struck me odd. I argue here that (1) “12/20/80” is a “phantom” listing, a mislabel of 12/20/79. Along the way (2) I argue that “1/18/81” is also a phantom, a mislabel of 1/18/83. This…
