In 2005, Bu lent me his DAT of an unattributed aud, and minches and I did our transferring and…

  • Last Freddie-ish Gig on Tape: JGB at the Stone, May 28, 1987

    update: I can’t believe I didn’t know that Freddie didn’t actually run the Stone and KPA. I knew the Coronas were involved, but Corry informs me in comments that they actually ran the KPA and the Stone, and Freddie really only had the Berkeley club. Learn something new everyday. I will still refer to this…

  • Reaching for the Gold Ring

    Uncle Bobo comes on about three minutes in, introduces the band, and they drop into a sublime “Crazy Fingers”, one of my favorite songs.

  • The Final “After Midnight”: JGB, March 7, 1983, The Stone

    Garcia played J.J. Cale’s “After Midnight” a bunch –by my count, 96 times starting 6/30/72– with a number of different personnel configurations, for about ten years. But then, after Monday March 7, 1983, he just dropped it. A new fileset of 3/7/83 shows me some killer guitar work in “After Midnight”, “Catfish John”, and “Tore…

  • “Bloody Hell”

    A while back I posted some listening notes from the Jim Cooper audience tape of the Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) show at Colden Auditorium, Queens College, Queens, NY on Thursday, October 30, 1975. When called to summarize the show in a headline for my etree list, which is a date index for the site, I…

  • A Monster Don’t Let Go at Hartwick College, December 3, 1977

    LN jg1977-12-03.jgb.90mins.aud-unk-russell.LOSSY.flac1644 update whenever: seems like this material is lossy. One hopes the source tapes can be located and archived at higher resolution (on the sonic plane for sure, but also informationally!). Not a huge amount to say. A show that has been MiA, around which some setlist uncertainty remains. See my overly baroque notes below.…

  • JGB: November-December 1977 East Coast Tour Rarities

    1977 The Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) was formed in 1975 to be a professional recording and touring band, and in productive years the Band would do a late-year East Coast tour. I’d guess the germ of this tradition formed in 1973, when Garcia and Saunders played the Hell’s Angels Forever gig on the S.S. Bay…
