Darlin’ Cory
What an amazing song. Obviously a (continuously, spontaneously, organically evolving) folk song, and working under many different titles, but here are the lyrics at Wikipedia: Wake up, wake up darlin coryTell me what makes you sleep so soundThe revenue officers are cominGonna tear your still house down [Chorus] Dig a hole, dig a hole in…

Upon Further Review: Various and Sundry Listening Notes on the Last Night of the Fall ’83 Tour: JGB at Wilkins Theatre, Kean College, December 13, 1983

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

Desolation Row
Man, at like 9:30 of this incredible, late-Mydland era Dead version of Dylan’s “Desolation Row”(track 4) Garcia thrusts into a scuba-evoking scream of Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow harmonizing behind Weir, who delivers a BOAT-contending version. Outstanding! Thanks to Joani Walker, Paul Scotton, Charlie Miller for the tunes. ! song:…

Darben The Redd Foxx
Commenter Nick’s encyclopedic discographical resources (vinyl and knowledge) rescue me/us from an error and afford a little glancing blow through American culture that helps us situate Garcia in his world. The song currently understood as “Ptah, the El Daoud” (Alice Coltrane), previously understood “Bag’s Groove” (Milt Jackson), performed by Garcia-Saunders on June 4 and June…

Lost Your Voice? Play a Monster “Don’t Let Go” (8/27/84)
LN jg1984-08-27.jgb.all.aud-corley.15029.shn2flac I have sometimes joked, half-seriously, that 8/26/84 may be Garcia’s most wasted performance, but I just do that to embody a feeling about the period as a whole. At some point I’ll bring myself to revisit it. I like listening around such things, as much as listening directly to them. Hence the JGB…

We’re Having a Reasonably Good Time Here
LN jg1989-01-28.jgb.all.sbd-goetz-retracked.28352.shn2flac Love this show. Two snaps up. A few bullets. First, I had a cryptic note-to-self in the 1/27/89 listening notes to elaborate on the “a year too late” thesis. In a nutshell, it’s my argument that when JGB recorded itself in 1990 at the Warfield for what would become the eponymous 1991 double-live…

BOAT TWYDTTYD: JGB, Palladium, November 10, 1981 (late show)
LN jg1981-11-10.jgb.late.aud-stankiewicz.127293.flac2496 JGB played The Palladium twice in 1981, 2/11/81 and this night. Richie Stankiewicz taped both nights. Both really good shows and really good tapes. This one has the best of all time (BOAT, in some circles) Garcia Band version of “The Way You Do The Things You Do”, IMO. It’s quite good. I…
