  • JGB Debuting Señor and Tears of Rage: The February 1990 Warfield Run

    LN jg1990-02-02.jgb.all.aud-darroch-paul.86658.flac1644LN jg1990-02-03.jgb.all-1.sbd-seaweed.114060.flac1644LN jg1990-02-04.jgb.all.aud-buick.30811.flac1644 The Jerry Garcia organization embraced a “no taping” policy, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear given the principal’s own experience recording bluegrass in the Sixties, his oft-stated indifference to audience taping in the Grateful Dead (GD) context (“when we’re done with it, they can have it”), the Dead’s own allowances in the form, from…

  • Simple Twist of Fate: JGB #23 at the Kaiser, November 11, 1994

    LN jg1994-11-11.jgb.all.aud-CMC5-mk4.145714.flac1644 Like so many of the late-era shows that I have listened to in the last couple of years, this one pleasantly surprised me. The only thing that troubles me is that it brings me into aesthetic disagreement yet again with Nick, who called this show “bad enough to make you want to give Jerry…

  • Jerry Has Fallen, and He Can’t Get Up

    OK, maybe I am feeling a little bit cranky. I have been doing some late era listening, and it’s not always easy. Wednesday, April 20, 1994 at the Warfield, for example, has a “Don’t Let Go” – which is good! – but it falls into quite a remarkable rut. From 3:22-6:03 of this lovely Vasseur…

  • Good, Clean Fun – JGB at the Onondoga County War Memorial, Syracuse, NY, November 14, 1993

    LN jg1993-11-14.jgb.all.aud-SchoepsMK4.137896.flac1644 JGB plays two strong hour-plus sets on the November ’93 tour. I love Señor, and he gets most of the lyrics on this version.”The Maker” is nice and concise, and I swear I heard a little “Mountain Jam” in there. Anyway, good, clean fun for your twenty-two-and-a-half 1993 dollars. Jerry Garcia Band Onondaga…

  • Acoustic at the Denver Rainbow – JGJK, May 23, 1985 (late show)

    LN jg1985-05-23.jgjk.late.aud.137966.flac1644 These shows have been very elusive, and the early show still has not made a digital appearance. Standard “Rock Bottom Era” take: croaking vocals and very good (acoustic) guitar picking. The one plus of the acoustic setting is that he can sing quietly, which works well on a relative rarity like “She Belongs…

  • Reading Notes: Henke 1991

    LIA posted a quote from this, I stumbled across it amidst my materials, and I decided now was as good a time as any to annotate it. Henke, James. 1991. The Rolling Stone Interview: Jerry Garcia.

  • NRPS (formerly The Murdering Punks) – August 7, 1969

    There has long been a tape identified as New Riders Of The Purple Sage (NRPS), Thursday, August 7, 1969 at the Matrix in San Francisco. Corry has found corroborating evidence for the dating, though of course the tape cannot be tied to the Ralph Gleason “On The Town” listing he found, which bills the band…
