  • 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…

  • Lost Godchaux-Muldaur Era JGB

    New to The List:  Stanford Daily listing shows JGB at Keystone Berkeley Saturday, August 12, 1978 (long known via the Soto-McNally-Arnold JG List, and there is tape), but also Sunday, August 13, 1978. The latter would be new to The List.  ! listing: Stanford Daily, August 11, 1978, p. 7.  Still Uncertain? 11/4/78 and a…

  • Jerry Garcia Band at Keystone Korner, December 19-21, 1976 (UNCERTAIN)

    I am a stickler for accuracy with things like band names, and yet, given what we know, you would think that the words in my title, “Jerry Garcia Band at Keystone Korner“, could not be strictly accurate. Garcia stopped playing Keystone Korner in 1972, three years before the Jerry Garcia Band existed, the stickler would…

  • Tom Fogerty, Merl Saunders and Friends – June 25, 1971 Keystone Korner

    The title gives a listing found in “The Music Scene–Complete Listings,” SFC, June 25, 1971, p. 43. Further down the same listing is Jerry Garcia, Merl Saunders and Tom Fogerty at New Monk on Saturday-Sunday (June 26-27, 1971). I certainly do wonder if Jerry was a “Friend” at the Friday show in the City. Perhaps…

  • NRPS June 21-23, 1971 Boarding House – CANCELED

    San Francisco Chronicle, June 21, 1971, p. 47. Here’s an interesting one that I don’t quite know what to do with – NRPS and Rowan Bothers playing the Boarding House June 21-23, 1971. Of course, Garcia was in France on 6/21, and even gaining back 7 or 8 hours he probably couldn’t have been back…

  • This’ll make you crazy

    Jerry Garcia and Merl Saun- are a fragment at the second column of listings.  I guess we’ll find them at the Keystone Korner on 6/30, if that’s what this listing would have been getting at … but we’ll never know.

  • 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 April 5, 1968 (Friday), Carousel – never happened

    Updated: the SFC Datebook of April 5, 1968 (p. 47) shows John Lee Hooker, Loading Zone, Mother Earth. Given the two conflicting pieces of print, I’ll prefer the later-published one (SFC) to the earlier-published one (Express Times issue of ca. 4/3/68) (lex posterior derogat priori). Corry’s tour itinerary shows an open Friday night for GD/Garcia…

  • JGMS March 22, 1974 – Chateau Liberté

    The McNally-Arnold JG List included Garcia-Saunders on March 22, 1974 at the Chateau Liberté. I presently list the address as 22700 Old Santa Cruz Highway, Los Gatos, CA 95033 [map | JGBP | JGC | Cryptical Developments | see also LLD]. I know of no documentation of this in the public realm, just the listing,…

  • 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…
