Friday Night at the Boarding House
edit: well, this is a first – turns out I had already posted a version of this. Heh heh. Presumably, this one is better. April 13-16, 1973 saw Garcia “Four Nights at the Boarding House”, two with Merl Saunders and The Group (JGMS), two with Old And In The Way (OAITW). So much about these…

Heresy Alert
Avert your eyes if you are sensitive to this sort of thing. Great tapes, but 2/2/80 set I does nothing for me. Discuss. Further hypothesis: it exhibits the “Cornell Effect”, whereby great sounding tape produces systematic and massive overestimation of performance quality. UPDATE: In March 2021 I revisited this show, and found it to be…

LN jg1995-01-13.jgb.s2.aud-sisler-goodbear.79638.flac1648
update 5/17: I have revisited this date, with rather contrasting perceptions. Needless to say, I don’t get out to 1995 very much. I enjoyed this, overall. It was not a ripoff. Jerry’s guitar play is fine, if mixed very low. The arrangements are pretty interesting, but the execution suffers without David Kemper in the chair.…

On lead guitar and vocals, Mr. Jerry Garcia
Bill Graham: Good evening. We welcome you, on behalf of the group. We should introduce … We should thank United Artists and Mr. Ron Rakow. I should make it official. Mr. Rakow is the President of Round Records. He asked if I could be here this evening, and I said ‘I’d like twelve dollars and…

Eskimo Blue Day
Just found Garcia at Heider’s (SF) on May 27, 1969 with the Airplane (Grace, Paul, Spencer, Jorma – very vew times I have found all of the Jeffersons listed on the same sessions!). What’s interesting is that, as far as I know, Garcia is only known to have contributed (pedal steel) to “The Farm” on…

That fiddle!
https://archive.org/details/gd1969-08-03.sbd.miller.30652.sbeok.flac16 I can’t believe how great the guest fiddler is on this show, 46 years ago today. There’s also a sax and maybe a few other mystery players. Goddamn, I wish I could have seen a show at the Family Dog.
