50 years ago tonight, seastones in san rafael, the 3rd of 4 performances in '75. probably ned lagin's last time playing with jerry garcia & david crosby (though that may have come earlier). no known tape or scene reports.

this still sounds so incredibly miraculous, even 25 years after its official release with the correct date etc. can't fathom how hard this must've hit when it came out in the early '70s. @…

at property is theft, tom & danny from garcia peoples, minus the peoples, plus loops/beats/ebows & such. loose forms, sometimes a mite rough, sometimes ecstatic, all miniature distillations of the GPs' gooey guitar core. #nyc

60 years ago tonight, the velvet underground at summit high school in new jersey, opening for the myddle class, both acts' 1st proper shows. sometimes called the VU's debut, rob norris’s classic scene report, “i was a velveteen” (from kicks #1) mentions they’d just been fired from cafe wha?, so maybe there was one earlier, too? some great local coverage, too!

60 years ago tonight, the #GratefulDead (& bill graham's) 1st fillmore auditorium gig, at the #sanfrancisco mime troupe’s appeal II, maybe the 1st actual time the dead name was used. not in ads (“formerly the warlocks” was january), no tape.
