JGMS in San Diego 11/18/73 probably rained out
The List has long given Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders at the Aztec Bowl, San Diego State College (I think it was still this C and not a U at the time), November 18, 1973. Because Garcia and Saunders had barely played out of the Bay Area by that time (Ash Grove in LA 5/29-30/73,…

Jerry Garcia Sometime Before Christmas
Night Times, published out of Berkeley for about a year (as far as I know) in 1971-1972, is a treasure. I found a review of Chez Panisse just shortly after it opened, but it’s loaded with great music, art, etc. content. Anyway, I liked this one, from the December 23, 1971 – January 3, 1972…

GD at Carousel, May-June 1968
Since I am on the subject, the ad below (published 5/30/68) lists the GD at Carousel on Friday May 31, Saturday June 1, and Sunday June 2, 1968. The Chicken lists Thursday (5/30) through Saturday (6/1). Sorry if this has all been gone over, but I don’t see any notes in my own files on…

JGB in Memphis, March 28, 1976
**updated** I made this post to ask about this show, which has always been shrouded in some mystery and confusion. It is listed, without comment, on the McNally-Arnold JG List. TJS has had a note, information of unknown provenance, that the show was canceled “due to an illness in the band.” I also had a…

GD: August 30, 1970, “Calebration”
I always loved the “Calebration” thing dated 8/30/70. My favorite Candyman, a really great Easy Wind. There’s also video out and about that gives a very rare glimpse of the GD of this period (though, I do wonder if that QMS video has made it into the world?). But, I think the set we know…

New Riders of the Purple Sage and Acoustic Grateful Dead: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, July 30-August 1, 1970
(This is an updated version of an earlier post, “GD/NRPS19700731-19700801: Lion’s Share, San Anselmo, CA, 4/20/2011.) Some time back, I reported listings for “New Riders of the Purple Sage & Grateful Dead, Lion’s Share, 9 pm” for both July 31, 1970 and August 1, 1970, in the calendar section of the Berkeley Tribe. Here’s the…

November 24, 1968: Jam with Jefferson Airplane, Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MI (POSSIBLE)
In connection with another post that is taking me a long time to finalize, I have been looking at the various crossings of Garcia and the Jefferson Airplane. Among the many sources I have been using is Scott Abbot’s JABase volume 3, available online at http://home.myfairpoint.net/srabbot/airplane/jabase.htm. There, I find a listing for the Airplane doing…

What’s Going On? Listening to the Show Traveling as JGMS 7/22/74
LN jg1974-07-22.jgms.146mins.sbd-GMB.86198.flac1644 I wrote about this Jerry Garcia – Merl Saunders (JGMS) set dated July 22, 1974 and located at the Keystone, Berkeley, some time back. I had suggested that this show (and the one attributed to July 21, 1974, same venue) might not be as it seemed. I initially speculated that it might be…

Pennies From Heaven: Listening to the Tape Known as JGMS 7/21/74
**updated** Here are the reference posts for this set of listening notes: JGMF, “JGMS: “July 21-22,” 1974, Keystone, Berkeley, CA”, 7/25/2010, updated 12/16/2011. JGMF, “Jerry with Merl and/or Martin, ca. 1974, The Sand Dunes”, 5/16/2010. In brief, I am walking back from my speculation that this material is from the Sand Dunes. It’s not. It…
