  • “I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes”: JGB at the Warfield, March 4, 1995

    LN jg1995-03-04.jgb.all.aud-sonics.141470.flac1648 I don’t feel like I have time or energy to do a full write-up, so let me try to sketch a few thoughts around a recent listen to taper Wilson66’s very enjoyable Sonic Studios DSM-6 drink rail tape of the Jerry Band on home turf, March 4, 1995.

  • 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…

  • Confused, Trainwreck, Yeesh and Yikes: JGB at the Warfield, August 14, 1994

    jg1994-08-14.jgb.all.sbd-miller.136390.flac1644 The title conveys some of the adjectives and interjections I used in listening to this rare sbd tape of late-era Jerry.

  • JGB19900302: Saturday, March 2, 1990, Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA

    update: this was originally posted some years ago. I accidentally reposted it today. It looks like it is not perfectly together – you get what you pay for. I wanted to try a little experiment by just unpacking a single show. I am not a very effective “prosopographer”, so I can’t do what Corry does,…

  • Cities Burn and The Show Goes On: JGB at the Warfield, April 30, 1992

    jg1992-04-30.jgb.all.aud-vasseur.141475.flac1644 On April 30, 1992, as on other Thursdays before, at least a couple American cities were in flames as protests over racial injustice turned violent and disorderly in the aftermath of a Simi Valley jury’s acquittal of four LAPD officers accused in the March 1991 beating of black motorist Rodney King. The Garcia Band…

  • Let’s Spend the (Wednesday) Night Together

    November 21, 1990, a Wednesday night, Garcia played a killer “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” featuring what the seeder notes as “relentless, furious” guitar work. Indeed. “Tears Of Rage” and “Tore Up Over You” also stand out. Pack of Wolves opened, for the record. Jerry Garcia Band The Warfield 982 Market Street San Francisco, CA…

  • June 1990 at the Warfield

    The post-coma Garcia Band was getting hotter and hotter from 1987-1989, in my view, and somewhere along the line two kinds of business/money decisions were made. First, it’d start regularly playing the Warfield, which I think had been recently renovated, for Wolfgang.  JGB played fifteen gigs at 982 Market in 1990 –February 2-4, March 1-2,…

  • Certainly One of the Best and Most Interesting Shows of the 90s: JGB, March 1, 1991, Warfield

  • Woody’s Rag

    For years, I have wanted to know the name of the second song from the first “real” live Garcia-Grisman gig, 2/2/91 at the Warfield, which has always just been identified as “Instrumental”. It starts at 7:20 of the embedded video. (It was also the second song of the second night, 2/3/91, starting at about 7:50…

  • 4/23/93: great setlist, low energy
