  • August 9, 1974 is probably August 10, 1974: a fine show either way

    LN jg1974-08-09.jgms.s1s2p.aud-falanga.8073.shnf More listening around August 1974, as with 8/11/74 and a mention of 8/15/74. I have some doubts about the date. The always-excellent “Rock Talk by KG” column (by Kathie Staska and George Mangrum) in the Hayward Daily Review (August 9, 1974, p. 40), says “Clifton Chenier does Keystone Berkeley tonight and Jerry Garcia…

    This is shnid-99222, a somewhat degraded soundboard tape of Old And In The Way (OAITW) with Richard Greene on fiddle. I had mentioned it when it first came out. update: I surmise that this is Thursday, April 12, 1973, Granada Theatre, 1216 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA. It’s not certain by any stretch, but that’s what…

  • OAITW late summer 1973 advertised shows: probably didn’t happen.

    Boy oh boy has it been quiet in the blogosphere that I know (here, LLD, and chez LIA). Busy busy busy with other things. So, just to warm back up, I figured I’d grab a small random thing. At various places and times I had speculated on/wondered about some possible Old And In The Way…

  • Q: Where was Jerry on June 24, 1981? A: Breaking in new singers at the Keystone Palo Alto

    update:  I have found a listing for JGB playing Keystone Palo Alto this Wednesday night, 6/24/81. It makes sense – first night out for Liz Stires and Essra Mohawk, and they usually played gigs on off-nights and/or off-the-beaten path when breaking in new members. That seems especially pertinent when the first two gigs are going…
