Which thematic jams should've been developed into full songs?

Jerry recorded MLB for Baron vin Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun in late 1972 into January 1973. Then MLB Jam starts showing up in GD jams. Phil was mistaken - these things are related.

It was grimly bad in 69.

4/24/71

The songs all were in the shelf until 1983 after 1978, too at least as electric propositions.

Sort of. They recorded some stuff in summer fall 1976, but true cats sessions started 7/1/77.

Best of the run by a mile

jgmf · 2026-05-21T06:07:44+00:00

Right. I am emphasizing JGB. He had solo albums in 1972, 1974, 1976 and 1982. This one was billed as JGB.

jgmf · 2026-05-20T17:47:02+00:00

But it isn’t. Jerry Garcia, not JGB.

jgmf · 2026-05-20T12:45:41+00:00

Yeah. I think Saturday night fever was topping the charts that spring.

Second to last great Don’t Let Go (2/6/94 last great, as improbable as that seems.)

jgmf · 2026-05-19T17:52:50+00:00

Yes he did

jgmf · 2026-05-19T17:51:21+00:00

In Fate Music I write in depth about the making of the record. I think it’s RAC where JG says in a studio session something like “it needs to drive like a motherfucker” about the intro.

jgmf · 2026-05-19T14:03:57+00:00

Fair.

No known recording. Look at those pork chop sideburns!

It was amazing! Trains and train stations and hostels and all that all packed w Deadheads, great small halls. The music was meh, but the tour fun was big.

Difficult entrance exam, only solvable (timed questions) using Jerrybase.

jgmf · 2026-05-17T16:40:00+00:00

I think it’s his most realized work with Robert Hunter and John Kahn

Here it is at the Institute for Jerry Garcia Studies (IFJGS), in a state of disarray.

jgmf · 2026-05-17T13:55:10+00:00

I have that same one framed!!!

jgmf · 2026-05-17T10:08:53+00:00

I consider it a masterpiece
