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).

LLM gets sent my entire schema (without the data) with each request. Plus the prompt and some context. It generates the SQL. The backend sanitizes, says a little prayer then runs it.

The 1976 Out-Of-Nowhere Jams

1976 was one of the loosest years for the Grateful Dead's improvisations. They still had a lot of freedom in their setlists, and as in 1974,...

@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 ;)

First time is saw this video it was at the Roxie, in the Mission in SF. Some freak put on a show that was just James Brown and Dylan video clips, but on the big screen. What a concept, you could walk in and out, drink beers, no one cared. We were so high, it was amazing.

Imma say no “performance”, Joe would probably want us to add it to JB, but he’s not here :)

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...

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.

ooooh, please do, how is this not on Joe's radar?

I did not run the numbers yet, but I would not be surprised if this run of shows has the most variety of any 3 successive shows that JGB had played up the that point.
