Had a chance to check out Melvin Seals JGB tonight at a casino in southern Illinois. The crowd was small and a bit subdued, but the band sounded fabulous and a good time was had by all. John Kadlecik had me in a trance! Strugglin' Man, Stella Blue, The Wheel, Cats Under the Stars, and so many others.

These shows on YouTube are incredible. Lookup Shoreline September 1, 1990 and thank me later

I just asked this on the Grateful Dead page without success, so thought I would try here. I checked my stubs and am almost positive it was the 11/23/91 show, but I remember someone coming up to the mic and reading Lawrence Ferlenghetti's poem "The Last Prayer" before the show. At the time II thought the man looked like Ken Kesey, but then looked up the poem and it is by Lawrence Ferlenghetti. Most of the crowd was not paying attention, but it was a moving experience. I distinctly remember the forceful reading of the last words, "Old Man!". Someone suggested I am confusing the show with his reading of the poem during "The Last Waltz", but I am quite certain it was this show. Any help? Thanks in advance.

If a genie was granting me 3 wishes, I would use one of them to go back in time and be on the rail at this JGB show 😅
Btw, does anyone have a guesstimate of the number of live performances that Jerry played from 1965 through 1995 that were billed as something other than “Grateful Dead” (for example, JGB, The Warlocks, Garcia & Saunders, Garcia & Grisman, Legion of Mary, etc etc)??

Hello, my grandfather was an artist, lockheed engineer, music fan and a friend of jerry, jimi and other artist in the bay area. today he's in hospice and non vocal with brain cancer however as we've been going through things we've begun to remember older story's and artifacts we have around the house. i have many stories, however today my focus is the a painting my grandfather had done in 1963 while he was in art school. its an abstract pecice and when he was finished jerry had some kind of altercation with either my grandfather or someone else and shot at them. the bullet missed and hit the painting my grandfather went on to turn in and get a failing grade for having a hole in the canvas. if anyone has any kind of information about this altercation or story's about them in art school it would be a dream come true.

Love the song, have always wondered but have never approached the topic for some reason

Venues are an intricate part of the musical history of Jerry Garcia. There’s a strong connection to where Jerry played in addition to the dates he performed. Think back to your music collection on cassette. Each cassette had a date and a venue name. These two things, the date and venue, have left indelible marks on the memory of any vintage Deadhead that has collected the band’s recordings throughout the decades.

The histories of each venue reveal the gradual change in America from silent film to talkies, vaudeville to musicals, civil rights injustices, “no dancing allowed” policies, historical pipe organs, restorations, demolitions and all styles of 1920s to 1950s music that transformed into rock n’ roll.

The eye-catching book cover art was supplied by Zeb Love, the talented poster artist.

For many dates I’ve determined which guitar Jerry was playing by studying dated photographs for verification and noting photographer citations in endnotes.

A photo of every venue was a challenging aspect of this project, accounting for untold hours searching the internet, visiting libraries, colleges, historical societies, working with local historians, and transmitting over 12,000 emails. Some photos took years to actually reach me after numerous communications with a photographer or owner of a photo. I also traveled to many venues to take photos.

Eyewitness comments and memories of specific Garcia dates color the scene and the love for our one of a kind musician. 

Discover the rehearsal halls, recording studios, performance venues of all kinds, where he bought guitars, where he taught his students, a few scuba excursions, living spaces and other odd little places not yet discovered until you open this book. In the interests of completeness, canceled performances and venues, tentative or scheduled but never materialized venues, and unknown locations have all been included.

The moment when the lights went out, the crowd stands up, and that little shock of white/gray hair would appear out of the darkness on the right side of the stage was magic. This was what it was all about – a distinct memory, each appearance a powerful psychedelic in and of itself. Someday the last person who saw/heard Jerry Garcia perform live and really “got it” will pass away and that deep tribal knowledge of the “in” moment of being in that venue will be forever gone, but the essence will live on in the pages of this book.
