  • JGMS January 28-29, 1972 Keystone Korner – CANCELED

    Interesting to see Jerry Garcia and Merle [sic] Saunders billed for Keystone Korner on Friday-Saturday, January 28-29, 1972. Suggests that, as of whenever the deadline for these listings might have been, a second weekend for the Hooteroll? tour had not yet been pinned down. #AHATT. According to listing in the next day’s HDR, Grootna filled…

  • Color: January 12-25, 1972 Night Times listings

    Here are some listings from the Night Times, with a few scattershot thoughts. 1) The Berkeley Night Times is a gem. 2) It’s especially good re: race. The range of clubs it covers exceeds most other sources – you’ve got the country clubs, the rock clubs, the black soul/R&B/gospel clubs, the Latin clubs, a little…

  • The Mission

    “No matter what comes down, the Mission always looks the same”

  • Jerry Garcia Sometime Before Christmas

    Night Times, published out of Berkeley for about a year (as far as I know) in 1971-1972, is a treasure. I found a review of Chez Panisse just shortly after it opened, but it’s loaded with great music, art, etc. content. Anyway, I liked this one, from the December 23, 1971 – January 3, 1972…

  • GD at Carousel, May-June 1968

    Since I am on the subject, the ad below (published 5/30/68) lists the GD at Carousel on Friday May 31, Saturday June 1, and Sunday June 2, 1968. The Chicken lists Thursday (5/30) through Saturday (6/1). Sorry if this has all been gone over, but I don’t see any notes in my own files on…

  • GD April 5, 1968 (Friday), Carousel – never happened

    Updated: the SFC Datebook of April 5, 1968 (p. 47) shows John Lee Hooker, Loading Zone, Mother Earth. Given the two conflicting pieces of print, I’ll prefer the later-published one (SFC) to the earlier-published one (Express Times issue of ca. 4/3/68) (lex posterior derogat priori). Corry’s tour itinerary shows an open Friday night for GD/Garcia…

  • Carousel, May 22, 1968 – Jerry Garcia and others

    Garcia and others are listed for the Carousel on May 22, 1968. According to a report in Billboard (Lehman 1968), this was a benefit concert to promote bringing jazz into schools, with an organization called the Jazz Action Movement (JAM). San Francisco Express Times, May 22, 1968, p. 14. The night before circulates from Bear’s…

  • JGMS: January 6-7-8, 1972, Keystone Korner

    I had a Friday, January 7, 1972 Garcia-Saunders gig at Keystone Korner based on an ex post discussion by Ken Hunt in the San Francisco Chronicle (1). But a bit of sniffing reveals a Thursday-Saturday run, January 6-8. No TJS, so update your own spreadsheets. (1) Hunt, Dennis. 1972a. Guitarist Jerry Garcia Never Stops. San…
