  • JGB at the Auditorium Music Hall, Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975 (CXL)

    JGB at the Auditorium Music Hall, Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975 (CXL)

    Here’s an ad from the Memphis Commercial Appeal billing Jerry Garcia Band (JGB) at the Auditorium Music Hall in Memphis, TN, November 18, 1975. Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN), November 2, 1975, p. 5 The show must have been canceled, because I have never seen other record of this *and* the Garcia Band played the Keystone Berkeley this…

  • Kean College Tour Closer: JGB, November 15, 1982 (Late Show)

    jg1982-11-15.jgb.late-1.aud-vita-minches.78008.flac1644 Pretty standard late ’82 gig to my ears, not the equal to 11/11/82 late or 11/13/82, IMO. Errico’s Gatling Gun start to HTC is awesome. Three little oddities jump out to my pattern-obsessed brain. First, no early show tape. Hm. Second … , both the Vita aud and the soundboard tape are missing the encore. Hm. never…

  • New-to-The-List from the Examiner, 1973-end

    This is a followup to New-to-The-List from the Examiner, 1970-1972. I include new-to-The-List dates, some that were advertised and seem to have been canceled, a few other weird things I uncovered. The Examiner was quite a task. If the Chronicle were digitized, that’d be the last frontier for me. At this point, returns are diminishing,…

  • Dropping in Robertson Gym (gd1969-01-17)

    The Grateful Dead and Santa Barbara are two great things that go great together. One little mystery has always centered on the location of the January 17, 1969 gig. The gig was absent from Deadbase, is listed as Unknown Venue chez Deadlists, and circulates from Vault -> Latvala -> world tape as “Civic Auditorium, Santa…

  • Bear Tracks and Bear Drops in the Bear Republic

  • Color: January 12-25, 1972 Night Times listings

    Here are some listings from the Night Times, with a few scattershot thoughts. 1) The Berkeley Night Times is a gem. 2) It’s especially good re: race. The range of clubs it covers exceeds most other sources – you’ve got the country clubs, the rock clubs, the black soul/R&B/gospel clubs, the Latin clubs, a little…

  • 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…

  • OAITW: June 11, 1973, Temple University-Ambler, Ambler, PA

    This show (OAITW: June 11, 1973, Temple Festival Theater, Ambler, PA) will end up being important to me, I think, as I write more about OAITW and the summer of 1973. Can’t wait. For now, I just want to address venue confusion. **update: it was definitely in an amphitheater, not an enclosed theater – thanks…

  • LN jg1973-xx-xx.oaitw.88mins.sbd-PNW.99222.flac1644

    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…
