I recently uploaded a real nice set of Ron Bowman's photos from the an out-of-the-way spot, South Coast Theatre, Laguna Beach, CA, 3/9/75. LOM. Shout out to David Minches for turning me on to these. www.playingintheband.com

IMHO, Bobby was somehow the most GD of all the GDs. He just a kid when he joined, raised by the Band. One of a kind, those physics no longer exist. photo: Greg Gaar, Greek 83

Maybe the weirdest and most wonderful guy ever

Harry”s book! The Encyclopedia of Jerry Garcia Music Venues. Hands down my favorite gift of the year!

Daniel Johnston comic ❤️

One of one.

Anyone happen to know why Lossless Legs is down? @brokensymmetry.art ?

Old country absolute banger youtu.be/2d8Zub6uHF8?...

Thanks to @jerrybase.bsky.social for chasing these down and @bourgwick.bsky.social for starting the discussion - we're now tracking the "NFA reprise" encores on Jerrybase, which, amusingly, are more accurately termed "reprise" than the standard head term "Playin' Reprise"

This is a beauty. AUD is the way to experience these, the kids were losing it. archive.org/details/gd19...

Seahawks only down by 3 field goals! Let’s go!

Let’s go!

Long may you run Boo Berry, long may you run..

60 years ago today, john coltrane recorded "om" in seattle while (according to several biographers) tripping on LSD. the next night, he performed "a love supreme" in its entirety for one of the only known times. idk seems significant?

deep new @livedeadbook.bsky.social project examining documents from the grateful dead archive. he's got a new scholarly book out in spring about "touch of grey" (!!). "live dead" was ace, too, a close read of the dead's live recordings. gratefuldocuments.substack.com/p/hauling-it... #deadfreaksunite

@bourgwick.bsky.social has reminded me that today marks the 50th anniversary of the first Jerry Garcia Band show. Gone of course are Merl and Martin, welcome Nicky Hopkins! This lineup just lasted through NYE of that year, but I am guessing you knew that already ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w8R...

Can you OD from acai? In San Diego, need to know

This new Warfield release ❤️ got me thinkin'. Oh boy, by 1991 JGB had LOTS of tunes. Here's a lil query to demonstrate. I am counting 1991 as the top year, 1975 and 1976 are tilted by wasted piano guys hogging the mic. jerrybase.com/saved_search...

Sadly not enough of these, but here's all times Jerry played outside the US. Someone asked me this and the site does not allow for this kind of search natively. jerrybase.com/saved_search...

Why is everyone so worried about Al? No way this guy could do my job!

Figured it was time to pick one of these up, legend

Over a Jerrybase we have an experimental feature to be able to ask stuff like "Show me all the times Jerry played in Golden Gate Park". It converts natural language into a database query. Not sure how you feel about that. In any case, it generated this result. jerrybase.com/saved_search...

Young Ozzy Osbourne spotted backstage at the Hollywood Festival, Newcastle-under-Lyme, England (May 23-24, 1970), at which Black Sabbath and the Grateful Dead performed. This split-second cameo appears in the lost documentary of the Dead’s first trip to England. Thanks for everything, Ozzy.

Am I just high or is Playin in the Band from 1977-05-04 really exceptional?

New source for this show, sounds excellent. Might sound better and be more patched up than other circulating sources. In any case, this has always been one of my favorite JGB shows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4Sk...

Starting the day with some deep alien funk, a mega-mix www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-OB...

Happy 4th of July everyone, hope you have the day off. Enjoying this Reinhart Hohlwein tape, drunk folks and all. 50 years ago tonight. youtu.be/fyeSLEDjIpI?...

Not sure what publication ran this, love letter from the City of Noblesville. Even the Mayor went to the show! Oh how things would turn within a couple years.

Lots of people are going to post about Brian Wilson today, and I am no exception. Nobody wrote better melodies and harmonies than this guy. youtu.be/l71pbhqnvNM?...

Check those shoe boxes! Anyone holding one of these? Oakland 1980? @dgans.bsky.social ? jerrybase.com/saved_search...

More from R & D at Jerrybase. You can find all these under Search > Saved Searches. Photo: Greg Gaar jerrybase.com/saved_search...

At good 'ol Jerrybase, we've now got a much better way to run and present bits of ad hoc analysis. Here was a one I liked from a few years back. Photo: Jay Blakesberg bit.ly/3FFuJ3q

Cool pic from inside at JGB Hilo 1990. As seen on FB, anyone know who took this?

Thanks to @brokensymmetry.art for bringing this SFJAZZ collection to my attention. You mentioned there were some other large collections recently shared? Please do tell. archive.org/details/casf...

Picked this up at the Fremont market. Best viewed with 3d glasses.

Checking out the "other" Cornell show. Bailey Hall 1975. Cooks, if you can handle the tape. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s44K...
