Some dude Tim just turned me on to what I think may be the first drummer's birthday joke. It's a rough draft for sure, only Mickey is mentioned. I think its not on the Play Dead release, but here it is in aud, right after Sugaree. It goes over really well. archive.org/details/gd19...

Rolling Thunder 1976 started 50 years ago today! So I’m going to be writing about every show, from opening night in Florida today through Hard Rain and the illusive Salt Lake City, with stopovers like Bobby Charles’ alligator bbq and Willie Nelson getting subpoenaed backstage. Follow along!

The Grateful Dead are a California band from San Francisco, but there's more than one California. Highway 99 runs up through the fertile center of the state. I look at the Dead's 60s history in the "other" California. lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-...

The Grateful Dead's first performance in the Central Valley was at the Stockton Ballroom in Stockton, CA, June 7-9, 1966

Governors Hall was the main building at the California State Fairgrounds until 1967. The Grateful Dead played here on December 28, 1966. In 1967, the Fairgrounds moved to its current site at Cal Expo.

On February 17, 1968, Country Joe & The Fish played with the Grateful Dead at the Selland Arena Convention Center in Fresno. This was during the run of shows for Anthem Of The Sun, but the concert was not recorded.

I did a little patching on this one, taking a bit from Ned's sbd tape to patch the beginning of The Wall Song, which starts with an Other One Jam (of all things). Garcia splits after The Wall Song to go play with NRPS in Cotati, but the party goes on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vcO...

This video of Jerry's solo on Dancin 10/5/70 is just unreal. Melancholy and gorgeous, as this was the night after Janis' death. Although she might get too much airtime, the lady ecstatically is a plus for me. That is exactly what I would have been doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Rmz...

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"

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

"Hauling items for the mob": "Independent promotion companies," payola, and "Touch of Grey" (1987)

This is a document that I examine in my forthcoming book, Touch of Grey, or, How the Grateful Dead Became Pop Stars (forthcoming spring 2026 from Duke University Press).

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...

jerrybase.com

JGB distinct songs by year

1976 does not really count due to the James Booker stint, and a lot of the songs from 1975 are just Nicky singing with the band applying minimal backup.
