  • The Penultimate Garcia Band Show

    LN jg1995-04-22.jgb.all.aud-km54.137833.flac1648 Not a ton jumps out at me, though the “Mission In The Rain” has a nice feel, and “My Sisters And Brothers” takes on some country flavor. Jerry Garcia Band The Warfield 982 Market Street San Francisco, CA 94102 April 22, 1995 (Saturday) – 8 PM Neumann KM54 flac1648 shnid-137833 –set I (6…

  • The Garcia Band’s Last Gig (and list of contemporary late-era posts)

    I have finally been dipping my toe into late-period JGB, let’s call it the Donny Baldwin era, JGB #23. See: 9/1/94: I came for the Johnny Too Bad, I Stayed for the Don’t Let Go 9/2/94: Lots to Like About This Old Jerry 9/10/94: Oh My Body | Is Bent and Broken 11/11/94: Simple Twist…

  • Old Garcia Running to the Rock for Rescue

    LN jg1995-03-05.jgb.all.aud-michaelB-goodbear.79634.flac1644 I listened to the second set, and man did I love it. “Shining Star” isn’t may favorite, but the call-and-response with the crowd is nice. Jerry drops on a dime –actually, John first hit the line– into “Johnny Too Bad”, which is very, very good. Wonderful. The return to SS is neat, and…

  • JGB at the Warfield: April 21, 1995

    LN jg1995-04-21.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21900.shn2flac Third to last JGB gig, on the home court. A little bit of historical background, some analysis of the musics figuring in the setlist, and a brief note on “Johnny Too Bad” (“my God, this is just great, so full of feeling”) will figure in the listening notes below. Jerry Garcia Band The…

  • Never Get Yo Cornbread Made

    LN jg1995-01-13.jgb.all.aud-vasseur-ladner.21484.shn2flac I almost never listen to 1995. I mean to. And then I did. But then, it turns out that I had already listened to the second set of this show, so the novelty factor was reduced by half. On the flip side, the “study in contrasts” possibilities are wide; in this case, it…

  • LN jg1995-01-13.jgb.s2.aud-sisler-goodbear.79638.flac1648

    update 5/17: I have revisited this date, with rather contrasting perceptions. Needless to say, I don’t get out to 1995 very much. I enjoyed this, overall. It was not a ripoff. Jerry’s guitar play is fine, if mixed very low. The arrangements are pretty interesting, but the execution suffers without David Kemper in the chair.…

  • 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,…
