  • At Wolfgang’s Warfield: JGB, March 2, 1991 orchestra tape

    LN jg1991-03-02.jgb.all.aud-mk4-orchestra.123611.flac1648 Obviously I don’t get much into the 1990s, though I’ll need to do more to do the whole GOTS story justice. (seealso: JGB 3/1/91 listening notes) This is a totally professional gig, musically excellent. Old Jerry has his charms. He’s a sophisticated storyteller and themeweaver on the guitar. I have performance notes below,…

  • Ozzie and Johnny D

    LN jg1979-10-07.jgb.all-2.aud-angus-hart.106528.flac1644 First night out for Ozzie Ahlers and John d’Fonseca (and hence, of JGB #11a). Sunday night is consistent with pattern of breaking in new guys on off-nights, but the Garcia fans don’t worry about work on Monday morning. Probably not surprisingly, this performance is not a world-beater. They are feeling each other out.…

  • RN Peter Simon 1975 New Age Journal

    Simon, Peter. 1975. Making Musical Miracles: An Interview with Jerry Garcia. New Age Journal .5 (May 1975): 52-59. This is a really neat piece, lots of great stuff.  Interview took place at the “film house”  (230 Eldridge Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941), ca. the last week of March 1975. Love his notion of “tight-loose” forms…

  • Two Negative Reviews, One Participant Observation of Deadheaddom, Long Island Style: JGB at Stony Brook, February 24, 1980

Really nice tape, an excellent version of “When I Paint My Masterpiece” , two negative show reviews and one a participant observation study of Deadheaddom, Long Island style, February 1980.

  • even though I am on hiatus until ca. March 2013, I

    thought I’d leave a breadcrumb here for the return. Lotsa new info on the Third Betty Batch, or info new-to-the-record, anyway. Paumgarten, Nick. 2012. Deadhead: The afterlife.

But then again, there’s an awful lot of…

    Thank you, Bob Menke and Louis Falanga. That’s all.

  • The Last Quartet Show

    LN jg1982-10-23.jgb.all.aud-knudsen-GEMS.112275.flac1644 This show is the last for the short-lived October ’82 quartet configuration, which did a quartet of shows on 10/13/82, 10/21-22/82, and this night. In Guerneville on the 24th, backing vocalists would augment the ranks. If I am not mistaken, this could be the last show the JGB ever played as a quartet…
