Kid Charlemagne
I absolutely love this song. I never knew it was about Owsley et al., roughly.

The Group In and Around the Sarah Era: Boarding House, 1/24/73
LN jg1973-01-24.jgms.early-late.sbd-nfagdtrfb.100216.flac1644 update: this post has so many old links to the evil db.etree – please never use that URL. Substitute etreedb wherever you see db.etree. Thank you. (Man oh man does Blogger’s formatting suck. One can’t compose online, because stuff can get lost [viz my long beautiful post on Wales-Garcia 1/26/72]. One can’t compose…

Vegas is skeptical that I can do the NRPS-Matrix-1970 thing in seven posts, but I never claimed I’d do them consecutively. And, well, if I happen to cover related terrain, well, that’s just how it goes. And it just so happens that LIA’s post “The Hartbeats – July 1970” mentions some GD material that I’d…

JGMS: November 2, 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA
Almost-certainly-almost-never heard Garcia/Saunders show: November 2, 1974. I don’t usually link to recordings this way, but I am salivating at the chance to hear this bad boy. Thank you Robert Castelli, Bob Menke, Derek McCabe, and the MOTB crew for serving this puppy to your hungry, waiting fans! I will post on the show after…

Jerry Garcia at the Matrix, 1970-1971
As I noted a little bit ago, Ross Hannan sent some wonderful info on Matrix gigs. In this post I respond to some of his listings with questions, additional or different information, etc. I was just going to email this, but one never knows when someone else might see this and be able to weigh-in.…

Mickey and the Hartbeats, October 28, 1968, Matrix, San Francisco, CA
Deadlists no longer lists (if it ever did) a Hartbeats show at the Matrix on Monday, 10/28/68. It doesn’t appear on the Chicken on a Unicycle Matrix list, either. But what are we to make of this tidbit, from Deadlist’s 10/29/68 Hartbeats entry? On page 26 of issue #34 (Summer 1996) of Dupree’s Diamond News,…

Jerry Garcia and Howard Wales: June 7, 1970, Matrix, San Francisco, CA (PHANTOM)
The Jerry Site still doesn’t have any way to keep a list of deleted shows. If one is deleted or its date is changed, the old entry evaporates. So I am trying to keep track of what disappears under this “TJS-deletion” tag. Anyway, TJS has listed a Garcia/Wales show for Sunday, June 7, 1970, probably…

Reconstruction: August 10, 1979, Temple Beautiful, San Francisco, CA
I don’t think I have blogged much about Reconstruction, the jazz-R&B-soul-funk-rock-disco outfit formed by John Kahn that performed in 1979 and that regularly “featured” Jerry Garcia on guitar. This is one of Garcia’s most unusual side trips. It features lots of tunes that he had never done before and would never do again, with my…
