Alice Kahn Fall 1984 interview annotations
These are for my purposes, no pretense to completeness. I find his comments about Joe Garcia to be quite revealing. There are a few other good nuggets in here. Man, even in the depths of his Rock Bottom period, he sounds engaged and articulate. What a mind! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Fall 1984 interview by Alice Kahn. Date…

Placeholder Dates
Some time back, you all convinced me that I should track placeholder dates, and I agreed that it would be helpful in all kinds of ways. But I confess that, not having systematically tracked all of this, it would be a truly massive pile of work to try to reconstruct it all. Does anyone have…

The Quick at San Quentin
http://www.sfgate.com/music/article/LSD-king-Owsley-Stanley-s-Sonic-Journals-11209700.php And Bear was there taping. I assumed immediately this was 2/15/68, partly, I am sure, in hope that this means that the Quick sets from the Pacific Northwest Tour were taped. Hamina hamina. That said, I don’t see any reference to Quick guys in the various reports of this gig. ! deadlists: http://deadlists.com/deadlists/showresults.asp?KEY=2/15/68 !…

Northridge Acid Test
What is the state of our knowledge on February 1966 acid test at a Unitarian Church in Northridge, CA? I still show a gig 2/6/66 at “Northridge Unitarian Church”, no notes or references. And I also show a gig 2/19 at Valley Unitarian Universalist Church on 2/19. Maybe we have been discussing somewhere? Seems like…

The real dates of the “September 1, 1974” material
Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Band, Pure Jerry 4: Keystone, Berkeley, September 1, 1974 (Jerry Made JGCD0004, 2004). We always knew that this was a hodgepodge of dates (there are several set/end-of-show announcements, in weird spots if we have a continuous show from 9/1/74). But what little evidence we have suggests that things are more…

Grateful Dead at New Monk, Berkeley, ca. June-July 1971
One night I went to hear Jerry play a gig with Merle [sic] Saunders at a small place in Berkeley and one by one, for ‘no reason’, the rest of the Dead showed up too, and eventually they got on the stage and started playing — Charles Reich, Spring 1972 (Reich 2003 [1972], xv). Assuming…

Signpost to a New Space and Stoned Sunday Rap – Dates
I have just finished transcribing the parts of particular interest to me from Signpost to a New Space and the Stoned Sunday Rap (Garcia, Reich and Wenner 2003 [1972]), and I have now posted reading notes. Me being me, I have always wondered about the dates of these sessions. Here is the timeline for what…

The Common: September 5-6-7 ish, 1969
Berkeley Tribe, August 8-14, 1969, p. 3. Regular readers will know that I have been chasing the idea of “Jerry and the Jeffersons” in my head for a good long while. It narrates the arc of Garcia’s life as a process of gradual privatization. I started it years ago, have picked it up and put…

May 5, 1982 should be June 5, 1982
Perhaps the most bootlegged Garcia-on-the-side gig is acoustic Garcia and Kahn, attributed as the Oregon State Penitentiary, 2575 Center St. NE, Salem, OR 97301, May 5, 1982 [JGC | JGBP | map | etree showid-48429] Lots of these have been liberated into freely-circulating lossless formats (shnid-4423, shnid-11463, shnid-17900), which are all pretty much the same…
