Kickstarter going LIVE! on June 3, 2023.<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: red;">
Fourteen</span> years ago I began writing The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues. It's the only book that combines all of Jerry's side band dates and the Grateful Dead's dates together by venue. </div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
Alphabetically by state, there are 1300 venues that include rehearsal, recording, performance, living spaces and planned/canceled show venues. </div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
The history of each venue is here including architects, builders, owners, opening night performances and other notable appearances, murals, statues, stage prosceniums, backstage areas, pipe organs, secret rooms, hidden tunnels, restorations and demolitions. </div><div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;"><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
Jerry's history at each venue includes the bands he played with, set lists, opening acts and other information giving the reader an idea of what went down at every date on every tour. In many cases via dated photos, what guitar Jerry was playing, and other anecdotal stuff that we love to read.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
I've added eye witness reports to as many specific dates as possible. These are numerous, hysterical and heartwarming.</div>

Shelley Drive San Francisco, California<div style="color: #232323; font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> At 312.54 acres, McLaren Park is the second largest park in San Francisco by area, after <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Park"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Golden Gate Park</span></a>. The park is surrounded mostly by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excelsior_District,_San_Francisco"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Excelsior</span></a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocker-Amazon"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Crocker-Amazon</span></a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitacion_Valley"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Visitacion Valley</span></a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portola,_San_Francisco,_California"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Portola</span></a> and University Mound neighborhoods.</span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"> Dr. </span><span style="color: black;">John Hays McLaren</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> (1846–1943) served as superintendent of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Park"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Golden Gate Park</span></a> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">San Francisco</span></a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">CA</span></a> for 53 years. He was friends with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Muir"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">John Muir</span></a>, and dedicated his life to vigorous advocacy and development of the 1,017-acre <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Park"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Golden Gate Park</span></a>, one of the largest public parks in the world, using considerable political skill in addition to his remarkable gardening skill. The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McLaren_Park"><span style="color: #0b1480; font-kerning: none;">McLaren Park</span></a> in the southern part of San Francisco is named after John McLaren, as is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=McLaren_Lodge&action=edit&redlink=1"><span style="color: #ba1800; font-kerning: none;">McLaren Lodge</span></a> in Golden Gate Park, where he lived until his death. East Bay's Tilden Park also has a meadow named after him. A small statue of McLaren was erected in the park which he had hidden away only to be discovered after his death.</span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">After his death at the age of 96, McLaren's body lay in state in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_City_Hall"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">San Francisco City Hall</span></a> Rotunda. Afterward, the funeral cortege drove his casket through Golden Gate Park as a special honor.</span></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>John McLaren Park was once a part of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_Ca%C3%B1ada_de_Guadalupe_la_Visitaci%C3%B3n_y_Rodeo_Viejo"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Rancho Cañada de Guadalupe la Visitación y Rodeo Viejo</span></a>,</span><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;"><sup>[1]</sup></span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> an 1840 land grant which included much of present-day <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Bruno_Mountain"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">San Bruno Mountain</span></a>, the city of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane,_California"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Brisbane</span></a>, Guadalupe Valley, and Visitacion Valley. The then-governor of Mexico (including present-day California), <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bautista_Alvarado"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Juan Bautista Alvarado</span></a> granted what is now known as John McLaren Park to the local authorities in 1840.</span><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;"><sup>[2]</sup></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #232323; font-kerning: none;"> The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;">Works Progress Administration</span></a> was responsible for the construction of a scenic drive in the 1930s.</span><span style="color: #0645ad; font-kerning: none;"><sup>[3] </sup></span><span style="color: #232323; font-kerning: none;">At </span>that time, the park also featured a stable and equestrian trails, but horseback riding within the park was later discontinued due to the difficult of maintaining a separate set of equestrian trails.[4] The current 318-acre (129 ha) park boundaries were established in 1946.[3</div>
<div style="font-family: 'PT Serif'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #232323; font-kerning: none;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>Coffman Pool, McLaren Park's first recreation facility, was constructed in the southeast corner of the park in 1958.[3] A master plan for the park was published in 1959 which called for the creation of more recreational facilities, including a 9-hole golf course (later named the Gleneagles Golf Course), overnight campsites, picnic areas, trails, two lakes, and parking areas.[3] Before 1978, McLaren Park only had eight picnic tables.[5]</div>

<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
In 1924, working with local architects, Thomas W. Lamb (a nationally-known theater designer) designed Birmingham's Municipal Auditorium in Linn Park (formerly Capitol Park) with a view of City Hall. Boutwell's interior artistic design of art deco remains, however, in 1957, Charles McCauley remodeled the exterior to have a modernist look of marble, aluminum and glass. </div>

The auditorium was renamed for Mayor Albert Boutwell, a Democrat. He was elected to the Alabama State Senate in 1946, Lieutenant Governor in 1958 and Mayor of Birmingham in 1963. </div>
<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
Charles Lindbergh, an American aviator, (who made the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris on May 20-21, 1927), was toasted at a banquet held in his honor at the Birmingham Municipal (Boutwell) Auditorium during his U.S. flying tour visit in 1927. [8]</div>
<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
The auditorium was the site of the 1938 Southern Conference for Human Welfare to discuss issues of human welfare on the way toward overcoming the effects of the Great Depression.[9]</div>

The Boutwell is one of the sites identified as important to the Civil Rights Movement and is listed among properties included in a proposal for Alabama's Civil Rights Churches to be added to UNESCO's roster of World Heritage Sites. [9]</div>
<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
Boutwell, formerly known as Birmingham Municipal Auditorium, was the site of a white supremacist attack. Klansmen stormed the stage and brutally attacked Montgomery native Nat "King" Cole in 1956, the white audience gasped in horror. These average local white teenagers screamed in shock as they watched policemen wrestle to the ground the white opponents of rock'n'roll. The sold-out crowd applauded the arrest of the Klansmen and remained in their seats, calling for the return of Cole to let him know they did not sanction the violence. The gracious singer came back on stage, later explaining to a reporter, "I thanked them for coming to the show and told them I knew they didn't hold with what had just occurred. I noticed some people were even crying."[2]</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">John J. Lerman owned a three story plus basement building here in 1909. This was an 18 family dwelling costing $20,604.78. There were nine stairways located in the front and rear of the building. The lot had 115’ of frontage on First Street. It was on the corner of First and Harrison.[9]</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On May 13, 1952, the building was five stories with a thirty family occupancy. Three sets of rear stairs were to be replaced. It was owned by Herman L. Vogel.[10]</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">An application for building permit additions, alterations or repairs, dated 12/12/53 was submitted by Mrs. R. Garcia. Ground floor was 2200 square feet. Present use was Apartments (six families) and store.[8]</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Then Union Oil decided they wanted to put their office building where the bar was,”, Tiff says, “so the business moved across the street again, to another corner. There was a seaman’s hotel there, too, and on the ground floor there was the 400 Club. The original 400 Club had been a bawdy seaman’s bar, but my Mom turned that into a typical ’50’s nightclubish-type place with the emphasis on the little restaurant. It had red naugahyde stools and a solid mahogany circle bar. It was classy, a nice place considering the other one she had.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">When I was in the service, my Mom turned the top floor into this real flashy apartment-three bedrooms with a total view of the downtown and the Bay Bridge.”[7]</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After the Garcia's moved across the street to 400 1st Street in 1954[5], and thus renamed the bar "The 400 Club," and then moved into the top floor apartment, Jerry got to work on spending his day's hanging out downstairs with the sailors while his mom poured beer and kept the bar rollin'. You can just imagine a young 12-year old Jerry sitting down at the bar listening to tales from sailors about being Shanghai'd and whisked away, off to sea and to distant and exotic lands...as well as hearing sea chanties being sung day and night by drunk seamen....Yes, <i>Off to Sea Once More</i>!! [1]</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In 1953 there was also a 400 Club at 2562 3rd, San Francisco.[6] There was also a 400 Club on 17th Street, San Francisco, where Sally Rand performed.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"I grew up in a bar," Jerry said. "And that was back in the days when the Orient was still the Orient, and it hadn't been completely Americanized yet. They'd bring back all these weird things. Like one guy had the largest private collection of photographs of square-riggers. He was an old sea captain, and he had a mint condition '47 Packard that he parked out front. And he had a huge wardrobe of these beautifully tailored double-breasted suits from the '30s. And he'd tell these incredible stories. That was one of the reasons I couldn't stay in school [later]. School was a little too boring. These guys gave me a glimpse into a larger universe that seemed attractive and fun and, you know, crazy."</span></div>

In the heat of conversation, his voice rises, and he grins with the relish of a man who's sinking his teeth into a steak that he shouldn't be eating. "It was a Neapolitan job. My mother bought it from a sailor at the bar."[3]</span></div>

<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">

Also known as "The Pit" or "Mac Court," it was known as one of the most hostile arenas in the nation. </div>

<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
His girlfriend, even tho she wasn't there, wanted to hear <i>Jack Straw</i>, so I yelled out to Bobby and he turned around to the band and they went into <i>Jack Straw</i>. Very Cool. </div>

As they took a breather after Samson and Micky pointed at me and say to those around him "This guy is going to go nuts" I Did!!</div>
<div style="font-family: times; line-height: normal;">
In case it hasn't been noticed, when Jerry is doodling (<i>Close Encounters jam</i>) no one is playing with him. In all my shows, it was the only time where I saw the rest of the band find a seat and let their jaws drop to the floor with the rest of us. It also helped that Ken Kesey was in the audience and there was a Jester roaming the front few rows dosing people."[11]</div>

Finally I look over and realize he's not taking it because he's a City of Eugene police officer. Then, later, during Jerry's solo, this big cowboy sitting behind us gets up and announces disgustedly, to no one in particular, "Who does this guy [Garcia] think he is, Jimi Hendrix or somehing?" and walks out. Well, this is (and was) rural Oregon and I guess the guy just wandered into the wrong concert."[13]</div>

Then the Dead roll right in- in proud style- jamming all the way and rocking the celestial halls of Ever After, leaving no pillar unshaken. No other band can ride such a pure wave on the muse's tide for as long or as unadulterated as the Dead. Jerry's fingers dance around with their own freedom and cascades of notes will bathe your soul in sense and color as the music plays the band. I found myself laughing and shaking my head in disbelief. Absolute mind blowing a cosmic dandelion into a sparkling sentiment of LOVE."[14]</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Opened in 1937. Owned in 1954 by William "Pop" Brown.[4]</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The Imperial Roller Rink originally had a 2/5 William Wood theatre organ. The Wood company later added three Gottfried ranks (Clarinet, English Horn, Kinura) and Sleigh Bells making it a 2/8.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Between 1935 and 1941, Balcom & Vaughan added to the organ and installed a three-manual console which was rebuilt from a Wurlitzer two-manual.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">In 1955, a 3/10 Wurlitzer from Portland's <a href="http://www.pstos.org/instruments/or/portland/hollywood.htm"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Hollywood Theatre</span></a> was moved to the Imperial Rink and combined with the existing Wood instrument. As was typical for skating rink installations, all pipes, windchests, percussions and traps were located in the rafters above the skating floor.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The late <a href="http://www.pstos.org/organists/or/jorgensen.htm"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Jerry Jorgensen</span></a> was organist at the rink for many years.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The organ was eventually removed to storage. It was owned for a time by the McDonalds restaurant chain. In the late 1970's the instrument was purchased by <a href="http://www.pstos.org/instruments/or/portland/imperial-rink_dapolito.htm"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Dr. & Mrs. John Dapolito</span></a> of San Diego, California.[1]</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana"; line-height: normal;">"</span>The elevated approaches to the Hawthorne Bridge created a dark neighborhood of old storefronts and commercial buildings below. In the early 60's there was a coffeehouse down there called the Way Out that featured folk music and espresso drinks. The owner was Jim Smith, who was the first chair trumpet in the Portland Symphony. Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee appeared there, among others."[7]</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana; line-height: normal; min-height: 11px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
"It was a beautiful rink inside, huge mirror-ball & GREAT pipe organ. They had a Grand March nightly and if you were in grade school then, it was the "IN" spot every Friday night. The rink was never a dump, the neighborhood was a little "walk-on-the-wild-side"."[2]</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
"I remember skating at that roller rink as late as the mid-80’s. The bumper walls were lined with orange carpet."[6]</div>

<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
In 1985, Portland Indoor Soccer Center, a soccer league, used the building. They still do in 2014.</div>

Capacity 15316</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
The architects were Miller Martin and Lewis and Edwin T. McCowan.[9]</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
The Coliseum opened its doors for the first time on January 30, 1968, for the traveling Broadway production <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Roar_of_the_Greasepaint_-_The_Smell_of_the_Crowd"><span style="color: #0335f2;"><i>The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd</i></span></a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Coliseum#cite_note-rolltide.com-2"><span style="color: #0335f2;">[3]</span></a> Two days later, the Tide's men's basketball team hosted its first game at the arena, against the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samford_Bulldogs"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Samford Bulldogs</span></a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
Formally named Memorial Coliseum as a substitute for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_Auditorium"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Foster Auditorium</span></a>. In 1988 the facility was re-named to honor Jefferson Jackson Coleman, a prominent University of Alabama alumnus. Jefferson Coleman was the first pledge of Theta Sigma Fraternity which would later become the basis for beginning the current National Delta Chi Fraternity Chapter at The University on February 12, 1927. Jefferson continued to serve the University in many capacities, from Business Manager of the football program to Director of Alumni Affairs, for nearly fifty years. Until his death in 1995, Coleman was the only person to be present at every Alabama bowl game, beginning with the Rose Bowl on January 1, 1926. (2)</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
The building, comparable to a seven-story structure at its pinnacle, received a bit of a facelift in 2005 adding offices for the coaches and administrators, a new ticket office as well as a Tide Pride office. The large mid-court scoreboard was taken down and replaced by a pair of endline scoreboards equipped with video replay screens. In addition, The Coliseum's parquet floor was repainted to reflect the Crimson Tide's new elephant logo at center court.(1)</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
Stars who have performed on its stage include Ray Charles, Bob Dylan and Elvis Presley, who performed here on August 30, 1976.(1)</div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #0335f2;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President">President</a></span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan"><span style="color: #0335f2;">Ronald Reagan</span></a> was a guest of the Coleman Coliseum during his 1984 presidential re-election campaign.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleman_Coliseum#cite_note-5"><span style="color: #0335f2;">[6]</span></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">
Because the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuscaloosa,_Alabama"><span style="color: #0335f2;">City of Tuscaloosa</span></a> does not have a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_center"><span style="color: #0335f2;">municipal civic center</span></a>, the demand for events grew briskly and the Coliseum doubled its capacity in the 1970's on account of this.</div>

“I was there in Tuscaloosa that evening and, thankfully, a bit cosmic. I've been to hundreds of concerts and have lived a very full life, but I've not experienced anything like 5/17/77 before or since. I've never been a "church person" though I've often wished those Sunday gatherings could offer me some spiritual food. However, I remember walking out of the venue that evening and telling my girlfriend "That's what church should be like", and to this day I wish it was. It was a true communion...the crowd and the band were solidly linked in ways that transcended eyes and ears. It was amazing! So glad I happened to be there…”[8]</div>

<br />
<b>Palo Alto, California</b>-May 1964-The starting point in a 1961 white Corvair owned by Jerry.<br />
<b>Los Angeles, California</b>-“No gigs in L.A. We played all the time, at Hunter and Nelson's, and probably with them, and Willy Legate was also there as I recall.”[1]<br />
They leave Los Angeles with the Kentucky Colonels, who are in another car (standup bass on roof), driving through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. There were no gigs in any of those states but they did park and pick at rest stops.<br />
<br />
<b>Southern Missouri</b><br />
Jerry, Sandy and the Kentucky Colonels visit Slim Harrell, "a music lover but not a musician who passed away many years ago"[5], at a trailer park in an unknown town in Southern Missouri. There's an all night jam and Cajun food around a bonfire.<br />
<br />
<b>Bloomington, Indiana</b><br />
<b> 5/24/64-</b>Jerry and Sandy go to Bean Blossom to watch Bill Monroe perform.<b></b><br />
<b>5/24-</b>Neil Rosenberg takes Jerry and Sandy to visit Marvin Hedrick, Mr. Tapes of Bloomington.<b><br /></b><br />
<b>5/28/64</b>-hang out and picks with Neil Rosenberg. They meet at Ruby's White Sands outside Dayton, OH to hear the Osborne Brothers with Benny Birchfield. They tape record the show with Jerry's Wollensak T-1500 reel to reel.<br />
Jorma Kaukonen attended school at Antioch College in
Yellow Springs, OH in 1959-1960; it’s 26 minutes from
Dayton, OH. He also opened for the Black Mountain Boy two months before on 3/6/64 at The Tangent, Palo Alto as seen in the Stanford Daily.[6]<br />
<br />
"Jerry and I played at Neil Rosenberg's house and on the front porch and early-psychedelic living room of a guy named Ron Kurtz (later to become a well-known bodywork author)."[7]<br />
"There was another porch in Bloomington where Jerry and I spent most of our time playing, a few blocks from Neil & Ann's house...the porch of Ron Kurtz, a guy who later moved to Boulder. The inside was dark and lighted with colored lights and other psychedelic things...plenty of drugs around, though I don't think we got into that with the folks there. Ron liked the music and we picked out there for hours, usually while Neil was away at classes during the days. Then we'd go back over to Neil's and play more music with him."[2]<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Columbus, Ohio</b>-<b>5/29/64</b>[[3]-Jerry and Sandy sit in with Robby Robinson’s band with Sid Campbell at Chet's’s in
Columbus, OH. Afterwards they go to Frontier Ranch (a country music park
east of Columbus near Reynoldsburg) where Don Reno and Red Smiley were
doing a Saturday afternoon show.[2] Three years later Robinson would die in a plane crash.[4] <br />
<br />
"I remember when Jerry Garcia and Sandy Rothman were in Columbus. Roger Johnson, at the Columbus Folk Music Center, for a couple of weeks
had been telling a bunch of us that jammed at his store on Saturdays
that some bluegrass pickers from California were gonna be coming
through. Back in those days I kept a list of the music stuff that was
going on... On Saturday, May 30, 1964, I headed for Roger's for the
usual Saturday stuff. I parked my car & I noticed as I crossed the
street a Corvair with a couple of guys asleep inside. I didn't think
much about it and went on to the store.<br />
After a little while the two guys from the Corvair came in & there
were introductions & hand-shakes all around. I don't think Rothman
played but Garcia joined in the jamming on banjo and, of course, the
first thing we noticed was his missing finger. In between songs Garcia
told Roger and me and whoever else was there about the night before,
Friday, 5/29/64, at Chet's (or Irv-Nell's, I forget when the name
changed; would have been way before it became Bob & Mable's) and
how Robby Robinson had switched to mandolin so he (Garcia) could play
banjo and how much fun it had been. Unfortunately Marty and I did
not go to Chet's that night, so we missed all that. But I sure
understood & related to Garcia's enthusiasm!"[3]<br />
<br />
<b>5/30/64[3]-</b>Jerry and Sandy met Steve Gibbs via Neil Rosenberg in Columbus in 1964.
"He's the one who took us to the Folk Center (must've showed us the
place, then left to leave us sleeping in the car?) and introduced us to
Robby and Irv-Nell's bar (sic Chet's). Says we stayed at his place a day or two."[2]
Jerry and Sandy jam at the Columbus Folk Center.<br />
<br />
<b>"</b>I don't remember how long we played at Roger's, but it couldn't have
been too long as we all left to go to Frontier Ranch (a country music
park east of Columbus near Reynoldsburg) where Don Reno and Red
Smiley were doing a show... it wasn't the regular Sunday show... it was
some kind of Saturday bluegrass special day and there were other
pickers on as well... But that's where we all went. First I headed home and picked up my sister, Margaret, and Marty and then we took off for
Frontier Ranch.<br />
When Don & Red weren't on stage we went up to the parking lot on the
hill & some picking got started with Ross Branham, Leslie Wilson,
Robby, Don VanLoon, Sid Campbell and others whose names I don't
remember. Garcia was there, maybe Rothman too, but they didn't pick... I
remember Garcia especially was taking it all in and clearly having a
wonderful time just listening and observing. After the show we went home and I have no idea what Sandy and Jerry
did, but I think I heard somewhere, maybe later from Sandy, that they
went on to Nashville. The next time I saw Sandy was several months later and he was at Frontier Ranch playing banjo with Bill Monroe."[3]<br />
<br />
<b>Panama City, Florida</b>-<b>Early June 1964</b>-Jerry and Sandy play a gig with Scott Hambly, who was in the air force, on Tyndall Air Force Base.<br />
"Jerry and I also drove down to Florida to visit Berkeley mandolinist
Scott Hambly (another highly original and accomplished instrumentalist
like Jerry, and a one-gig replacement for David Nelson in the Black
Mountain Boys) while he was stationed at Panama City's Tyndall Air Force
Base. I listened to the two of them picking as we played an impromptu
show that Scott had arranged at the NCO club and thought that it would
be hard to find two city-based bluegrass musicians better matched for
sheer profusion of notes and ornamentation. A flock of notes flew with
the airplanes over the warm Florida sands that night."[8]<br />
<br />
<b>Dothan, Alabama </b><br />
"The vicious insect life of Florida drove Jerry and Sandy to
<b>Dothan, Alabama</b> (1.5 hour drive) to hear the well-known players Jim and Jesse
McReynolds.<br />
"Jerry loved bluegrass and bluegrass legend Jesse to the extent that he
stopped on a cross country drive to watch the Dothan TV show in a
Dothan, AL motel room and record the McReynolds Brothers on his trusty
Wollensak reel-to-reel."[9]<br />
"Garcia is driving. It's springtime of 1964, a Friday evening somewhere
down South. We've been rambling around the Midwest and South for weeks, a
couple of California would-be pickers in search of bluegrass. The
Corvair's radio is crackling as I scan the dial. The unmistakable sound
of Allen Shelton's banjo comes on, dimly. It's "Lady Of Spain."<br />
<br />
"Hey," says Jerry, "that's Shelton!"<br />
"Hey, yeah! Wow...Friday night...Jim and Jesse must be on the Opry."<br />
"Can you tune that in any better?"<br />
<br />
Now we hear Jesse's voice. He's giving the upcoming show dates.<br />
"Write that down," Jerry says excitedly, tossing me the black spiral
notebook he keeps in his shirt pocket. (We did make it to a few of the
shows Jesse announced...but were too shy to do more than ask for their
autographs on a songbook we bought.) I write: "Sponsor, Crestview Mobile
Homes," and the call letters of some TV and radio stations, with
various dates and times. "They're on TV tonight!" "We're not that far
from Alabama," Garcia says. "We need some sleep anyway. Let's go there,
get a motel room, and see if we can watch the show!" Not only watch the
show - we lug Jer's trusty old Wollensak out of the car and into the
room. We're gonna tape it if we can.<br />
So we're sitting on the edge of a bed in a small motel near Dothan,
Alabama, a place we don't know anything about, staring at the TV set,
having determined that this very band, with Shelton, is going to be on
in a few minutes. The Wollensak's microphone is as close as we can get
it to the television's speaker. Food? Coffee? No, we weren't thinking
about things like that. We were just waiting.<br />
<br />
"Hey, listen-isn't that their live theme playing behind the announcer?"<br />
"Yeah-it's them. Turn on the machine!"<br />
"...And now, from WTVY, Dothan, Alabama...let's make welcome Jim and Jesse and all the Virginia boys!"<br />
<br />
It was all there, of course: "Sunny Mountain Chimes," "Childish Love,"
"Las Cassas, Tennessee," "More Pretty Girls Than One," "Carroll County
Blues," "Gone Home," "Nine Pound Hammer," "Love's Gonna Live Here,"
"Where the Soul of Man Never Dies," and a host of others, featuring the
impeccable harmony vocals of the McReynolds brothers with Don McHan,
Shelton's amazing banjo, Jim Buchanan's elegant fiddling, Jim's smooth
rhythm guitar, and the singular mandolin creations of Jesse McReynolds.<br />
On the surviving low-fidelity 7" reel tape you can hear us gasping and
talking over the music, unable to contain our excitement at seeing this
stuff right in front of us on local television."[9] <br />
The McReynolds brothers are from Dothan, AL. <br />
<br />
<b>Sunset Park, Pennsylvania</b>-<b>Early June 1964</b> “We stopped at Sunset Park and caught a Monroe show. I introduced JG to Grisman there. (I had met him the previous year in NYC.).”[1]<br />
They drive through New York City late at night.<br />
<br />
<b>Beverly, Massachusetts</b>-Jerry and Sandy and The Colonels stay at Roland White's first wife's place. <br />
<br />
<b>New Haven, Connecticut</b>-<b>June 1964</b>-Jerry drives alone from Beverly, MA and performs at The Exit, New Haven, CT solo, and with Marshall Leicester and some locals.<br />
<br />
Jerry drives 2.5 hours back to Beverly, MA to get Sandy and they drive back to Bloomington, IN.<br />
Sandy stays in Bloomington, IN and Jerry returns to the Bay Area alone, by July. <br />
I would love to talk to any hitchhikers Jerry may have picked up on his way home!<br />
About three weeks later Sandy Rothman joins Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys.<br />

Nightmares and Dreamscapes-Stephen King <br />
Plot Summary<br />
An elderly man, his death rapidly approaching, takes his young grandson up onto a hill behind his house and gives the boy his pocket watch. Then, standing among falling apple blossoms, the man also "gives instruction" on the nature of time: how when you grow up, it begins to move faster and faster, slipping away from you in great chunks if you don't hold tightly onto it. Time is a pretty pony, with a wicked heart.<br />
<br />
"I heard this from Dennis McNally who interviewed Jerry, from what I understand 1,000's of times. He is writing a book currently about his interviews with Jerry. From what I understand he is the one who recorded the Stephen King reading. The publishers asked if Jerry would read it and jerry didn't really want to do it, but his buddy Dennis McNally convinced him to do it, and they recorded it in Jerry's home studio. It was a pretty bad read and lots of page turning and noises etc. The publisher asked Jerry to re-read it and he said no. They weren't going to put it out, but Jerry and Dennis insisted they send it to Stephen King and let him make up his mind whether he liked it or not. They never heard back from the publishers, and it got released. So Stephen must of liked it."[1]<br />

"Jerry was suppose to go record with Ralph prior to his death (for the Clinch Mountain Country CD, release date May 19, 1998, the one Bob Dylan is on)...that was until Jerry's people got into it with Dick Freeland (who owned Rebel Records at the time). What Ralph told me..that it was all set up..and Jerry's people said well we also want to send "someones whose name I can't remember)..to make sure it was recorded correctly etc..and Dick Freeland said no and he (Jerry) can't come either. Ralph was not pleased at the time because he knew that would have added to the sales of the CD. I believe this was supposed to occur in the spring of '95.<br />
Ralph wanted to have Jerry play on the next CD he did (with a lot of other singers/musicians…the one he did after he stopped recording with Rebel and Dick Freeland...Ralph at some point had a law suit going against Dick Freeland). The reason why I know all this..is because I'm good friends with Ralph...started seeing a lot of Ralph shows in the early 90's"[1]<br />

The movie-review book Claws & Saucers notes that director Allan Arkush “knew Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead’s Fillmore shows, and he got Garcia to contribute guitar licks for the soundtrack that were later run through a synthesizer.”[1]<br />
Deathsport, in 1978, was one of the first movies Arkush directed. Garcia
was keen on sci-fi, and was probably tickled at the opportunity to help
with the soundtrack.<br />

David Grisman worked on the soundtracks for a few Roger Corman movies in the mid-‘70s, including the gangster films Big Bad Mama and Capone. My guess is he called in Garcia to help him with these – this was shortly after they played together in Old & In The Way. Garcia is said to play banjo and guitar in these film scores, but isn’t credited.[1]<br />
Big Bad Mama was released in September 1974 - Grisman played with the
Great American Music Band (recorded by Bill Wolf), perhaps one of the
same configurations that played live in mid-'74.[1]<br />

Garcia was listed in the film credits this time as one of the musicians. He had a small part playing the banjo music for Harry, a park beggar with a banjo who is later turned into a mutant dog.<br />
Garcia even joined the Screen Actors Guild in December ‘77, though I don’t think he actually appears in the film. Maybe he initially planned to work as an extra, but the beggar with the banjo was played by another actor, Joe Bellan; Garcia just provided the music track, which was recorded separately.<br />
The banjo music only appears very briefly in a couple scenes, but Dead fans will quickly recognize that the song is ‘Goin’ Down the Road.’ I can’t tell who is singing it, though – it doesn’t sound like Garcia.<br />
I don’t know who invited Garcia into the production, but no doubt he jumped at the chance to be involved with a sci-fi film being made in San Francisco.<br />
Engineer Phil Sawyer, who’d worked briefly on the Aoxomoxoa mixes back in ’69, bumped into Garcia again: “Jerry reminded me of [the Aoxomoxoa sessions] around 1978 during the making of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." (I was the Music Production Coordinator and he played the banjo "source" music for the character that eventually turns into the hideous half-man-half-dog.)”[1]<br />
Directed by Philip Kaufman. Released December 20, 1978.<br />

The Louis Brown Athletic Center, or The RAC as it’s often called, is home to the Rutgers men’s and women’s basketball programs. <br />
"What used to be called Livingston College Campus or what we that were students in 1981 called the "Rock"."[3]<br />
Opened in 1977, the Louis Brown Athletic Center is one of the great arenas in the nation to watch exciting college basketball. The reasons for this are numerous - Excellent sightlines! Outstanding lighting! Incredible acoustics! The fans are right on top of the action. It's also the perfect-sized venue to see a basketball game. This arena has been dubbed, “louder than a 757 from nearby Newark.” The RAC is definitely one of the toughest college basketball arenas in the nation for visiting opponents.<br />
Most fans and students still refer to this truncated pyramid, which lies on the northern end of the Livingston campus, as "The RAC," which is short for Rutgers Athletic Center, the original name of the facility.<br />
The arena opened on November 30, 1977 with a win against rival Seton Hall.<br />
The arena was known as the Rutgers Athletic Center until 1986, when it was renamed for Louis Brown, a Rutgers graduate and former member of the varsity golf team, who made a large bequest to the University in his will. Despite the name change, the building is still largely referred to as "The RAC" (pronounced "rack") by students, alumni, fans, and players.<br />
The building is shaped like a truncated tent with trapezoidal sides on the north and south ends. It is home to the men's and women's Rutgers Scarlet Knights basketball teams. Previously, the University used the 3,200-seat College Avenue Gym from 1931 to 1977.<br />
The RAC was named the second-loudest arena in the nation by cbsportsbeat.com.<br />

The term, The Boar's Head Tavern, on Eastcheap, featured in historical plays of Shakespeare as a favorite of the fictional character Falstaff and his friends. It was the subject of essays by Oliver Goldsmith and Washington Irving. The Boar's Head Inn, at Whitechapel, the courtyard of which was used to stage plays from 1557 onwards. It was refurbished in 1598-99. Established before 1537, but destroyed in 1666 in the Great Fire of London, it was soon rebuilt, and continued operation until some point in the late 18th Century. What remained of the building was demolished in 1831.<br />
Surely Rodney Albin was aware of these things when he named his loft The Boar's Head.<br />
<br />
There were two Boar's Head in the early days of Jerry.<br />
The original Boar’s Head (#1) was a room upstairs at Mr. Hutchins’ bookstore that was used for music from 9-11pm a few nights a week. It was located in San Carlos.[3]<br />
"Spanish Colonial style storefronts. You went through the front door and there was a staircase immediate to the right which went up to a loft - and that's where the happening happened."[9]Early in the summer of 1961 a pair of folk music enthusiasts, Rodney Albin and George "The Beast"Howell, launched a small coffeehouse called the Boar's Head in a loft above a bookstore called the Carlos Bookstall in San Carlos (north of Menlo Park). Peter Albin, Rodney's younger brother, later became a founding member of Big Brother and the Holding Company.[1]<br />
"Peter says of it, "Rodney ran it with a guy called George Howell. They were both students at San Mateo. I helped them out a little bit running the club. It only operated on weekends, and we served hardly anything, just coffee, hot chocolate and crackers.<br />
The building sold in 1979 for $179,000 and again in 1983 for $118,000.[11]<br />
Boar's Head moved to the Jewish Community Center in 1962.<br />
(see Boar's Head, Jewish Community Center, San Carlos, CA) <br />
<br />
<b>1961</b><br />
"Come Thursday, I went to the Boar’s Head early to help Rod and Pete set things up. It was looking pretty ridiculous. Broken chairs, makeshift tables here and there, a tiny little stage made from a shelf unit cut in half, and an old RCA “hand grenade” microphone plugged into a 12-watt Bogen amplifier. Pathetic, but we didn’t care, nor did we know any better.<br />
None of us had any idea if the Kepler’s crowd or Garcia would show up. By 8 or so there were a few familiar faces, so Rodney kicked things off with some finger-pickin’ songs, then Pete and I got up and played Woody’s Rag with me on mandolin, Pete on guitar. A while later we heard a motorcycle pull up outside and that was a sure sign. Those colorful beatniks were starting to filter in. Hipsters, chicksters, all manner of eccentric individuals were coming up the stairs to check out the scene. In no time the place was buzzin’. Nobody took the stage just yet, it seemed as if we all were waiting for something as the party rolled on. Some time later a friend nudges me to look around and there’s Garcia, guitar in hand, heading for the stage. In a brief shuffle I grabbed a seat as everyone settled down to listen.<br />
Quietly and matter of factly he started strumming. And with that soulful, dark-eyed gaze, he began singing, “When first unto this country, a stranger I came …” a great song that tells the story of an early settler’s hardships and love. Then he did some finger picking – I think it was Wilson Rag – then more songs: Peggy-O, Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie, Whiskey in the Jar and others. The audience was spellbound, myself included. As we listened on, excitement grew. An invisible fire had been sparked. Everyone felt connected in some way, a feeling of kindred spirit, a “cause” with gusto.<br />
It was decided we should do this more, and Rodney got Mr. Houchen’s okay for every Tuesday and Thursday night. These little wingdings gathered momentum in the weeks that followed. Jerry brought friends, he must’ve told everybody, because suddenly the place was crawlin’ with performers of all kinds. One friend was Bob Hunter, who had been playing as a duet with Jerry at a couple of private gigs. They did Saro Jane and other folk songs. There was Marshall Liescester, who played amazing five-string banjo and guitar and knew all these really cool Appalachian tunes and blues – everything from Rabbit Chase to Keep On Truckin’ Mama. Also from the Kepler’s crowd was Sherry Huddleston, who sang Milk Cow Blues, with Garcia adding guitar. A big hit was Dave McQueen, a black guy from East Palo Alto nicknamed “David X” who didn’t play an instrument, but had this wonderful velvety voice that could sing you off into a cloud: “Trouble in mind, I’m blue …” Warm, funny and personable, David X hosted many after-gig parties at his house.<br />
Most remarkable of those who found their way to the Boar’s Head was a 14-year-old kid named Ron McKernen. He had intelligent eyes on a face that had been roughed up by severe acne, and the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll greasy-hoodlum jelly-roll hairdo. His outrageous appearance belied a shy and reserved demeanor. He showed up one night and to our astonishment delivered a set of country blues with electrifying authenticity. He played harp and guitar and sang totally naturally in his own way, yet sounded like one of the classic blues greats, the real thing. It blew our minds.'[13]<br />
<br />
<b>07/??/61</b> Robert Hunter, Marshall Leicester<br />
Jerry plays a banjo and an acoustic 12 string guitar.<br />
Garcia provides patter before a next song, calling it an "old chestnut", and adding that, "here's this twelve string. And I don't know if I can do it on a twelve-string, but it'll be fun to find out." Railroad Bill comes off well, Garcia needling the audience to join in the chorus: "It's only one word three times, think you can do it?" They do, and the full flavor and charm of a coffeehouse folk sing comes through plainly." Garcia sings acapella on Wagoneers West. One of Garcia's between song quips mentions that this is the "sixth or seventh " time they've played there.[5]<br />
<br />
In July of '61, Garcia and Marshall Leicester played a show at the Boar's Head that was taped on a reel-to-reel recorder by Rodney Albin; it's one of just a handful from the pre-Dead days that has survived. (Years ago Willy Legate organized that performance and a few others from '61-'64 onto a series of six cassettes that were dubbed "Primordial Writhing, Vols. 1-12.") On the tape, Garcia plays guitar and Leicester plays banjo on a handful of folk standards, including Darling Corey, Wildwood Flower and Jesse James. It was all very relaxed and informal; really just a hint of what was to come from them over the next couple of years as they developed as players. Jerry also spent hours studying and learning how to play Child ballads (songs collected by the 19th century British folklorist John Child), which his friend Danya Veltfort used to copy out of books in the library for him. [12]<br />
<br />
<b>1961</b> Solo, Robert Hunter, David McQueen, Sherry Huddleston<br />
"As Dave Nelson says alongside Rodney Albin, referring to his first meeting with Garcia, "So we asked him to come play at the Boar's Head. That night at the Boar's Head it was Garcia, who played some songs on guitar, and then Bob Hunter came on wearing his army boots, as he always did in those days, and he sang a couple of songs. And there was also David X (David McQueen, a black man in his forties who was part of the Chateau scene) and Sherry Huddleston, who's the one who gave Pigpen his name (the next year). It was very low-key. The Boar's Head always seemed more like a party than a real gig."[2]<br />

When he was 16, Ron McKernan met Jerry Garcia at the Boar's Head, a loft over the San Carlos Bookstore .[4]<br />

With the audience attuned and attentive, Jerry's patter is relaxed and good-natured, and provides a tantalizing bit of information about the set, when he notes, to great laughter, that"last night, just about this time, we were gonna do a song. We finally did do it, called Ellen Smith. And ah,-but the trouble was last night, a banjo string broke. A very key one: the fifth one, the one that distinguishes it from a cigar box."<br />
Jerry announces the encore by saying, “For those of you that are interested, we’re gonna do one more. Not because any of you asked or anything, but just because we felt like it.” And the communal feeling continues without a lapse, band and audience launching into “Darling Corey” as if on cue. And here, everyone sounds almost in tune with each other, with the applause at the end as much a celebration of the audience as the musicians. What it lacks in polish, it more than makes up for in spirit. This is what a hootenanny must have sounded like at its peak. [6]<br />
<br />
<b>Unknown 1962 </b>David X (McQueen)<br />
"A black blues musician who was occasionally backed by Garcia."[7]<br />
<br />
It's likely there were other performances here.<br />
<br />
"The club ran into problems with the authorities and only lasted in it's original location for about 6 months. "We had problems in keeping the club at that location, we had lots of complaints from the City Fathers. At that time there were only two black families living in San Carlos, also there were ordinances banning fortune tellers, palm readers-a very hostile atmosphere. Anyway, we were brought in the City Council chambers on charges of having a black man on our balcony with white girls. It wasn't quite that blatant, they said he was an undesirable character or something. So we had to move to another location, which was a Jewish Community Center on Holly Street. [8]<br />

The GE Building is an Art Deco skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, USA. <br />
The building was completed in 1933 as part of the Rockefeller Center. The noted Art Deco architect Raymond Hood led a team of Rockefeller architects. It was named the RCA Building for its main tenant, the Radio Corporation of America, formed in 1919 by General Electric. It was the first building constructed with the elevators grouped in the central core. During construction, photographer Charles Clyde Ebbets took the famous photograph Lunchtime atop a Skyscraper on the 69th floor. National Broadcasting Company, also owned by General Electric, leased space in the building.<br />
Studio 3H was the first studio in the building to be converted for Television production, being converted in 1935 and served as NBC Television's lone studio[13] until the conversion of Studio 8G in 1948. 3H was adjacent to Studio 3C. This studio has been decommissioned since the early 1960s and served as scenery storage[14] for a number of decades. Small portions of Studio 3C have been expanded into this area..<br />
The office of the Rockefeller family occupied Room 5600 on the 56th floor. This space is now occupied by Rockefeller Family & Associates, spanning between the 54th floor and the 56th floor of the building. In 1985, the building acquired official landmark status. The RCA Building was renamed as the GE Building in 1988, two years after General Electric re-acquired the RCA Corporation.<br />
The GE Building is one of the most famous and recognized skyscrapers in New York. The frieze located above the main entrance was produced by Lee Lawrie and depicts "Wisdom",[5] along with a slogan that reads "Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times", from Isaiah 33:6 (KJV). The vertical detailing of the building's austere Art Deco facade is integrated with a slim, functionally expressive form. The present exterior is recognized for the large GE letters at the building's top. Unlike most other tall Art Deco buildings constructed in the 1930s, the GE Building has no spire on its roof.<br />
At 850 feet (259 m) tall, the 70-story building is the 10th tallest building in New York City and the 33rd tallest in the United States. Some of the building's nicknames include The Slab and 30 Rock. The latter is derived from its address which is at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.<br />
The observation deck atop the skyscraper, dubbed "Top of the Rock", reopened to the public on November 1, 2005, after undergoing a $75 million renovation. It had been closed since 1986 to accommodate the renovation of the Rainbow Room. The deck, which is built to resemble the deck of an ocean liner, offers sightseers a bird's eye view of the city, competing with the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building.[24] It is often considered the best panoramic city view,[10] if only because it offers a view of the aforementioned Empire State Building, which obviously cannot be seen from its own observation deck.[11]<br />
KWO35, the NOAA Weather Radio station for the majority of the Tri-State area, transmits from atop the GE Building at 162.55 MHz.<br />
Below the building is a shopping concourse, connected to the lobby via an escalator. The open lobby's rich materials and reduced black and beige ornamental scheme is enhanced by dramatic lighting. Granite covers the building base to a height of 4 feet (1.2 m), and the shaft has a refined facade of Indiana Limestone with aluminum spandrel panels.<br />
The 65th floor of the GE Building was an event room and restaurant named the Rainbow Room. It was revamped and reopened to the public with new operators until it closed in 2009 due to the economic downturn.<br />
Saturday Night Live is telecast live from the building (Studio 8H).<br />
NBC owns floors 1-30 & 50-59. The office of Jack Welch, former chairman and CEO of General Electric, is located on the 51st floor of the GE Building.<br />
<br />
The Tonight Show was also taped at the GE Building in Studio 6-B from the early Jack Paar years until 1972, when the show moved to Burbank, California. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon now occupies the former Tonight Show space. During its run, Rosie O'Donnell broadcast her syndicated talk show from the building.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow Coast To Coast<br />
Established as more of an intimate talk show, Tomorrow differed from the usual late-night fare, with host Tom Snyder conducting one-on-one interviews sans audience, cigarette in hand, alternating between asking hard-hitting questions and offering personal observations that made the interview closer to a genuine conversation.<br />
On April 28, 1975, Tomorrow aired what eventually became its most talked about and enduring moment: John Lennon appeared in what would turn out to be his final televised interview. Since Lennon faced deportation proceedings from America at the time over his 1968 misdemeanor conviction for cannabis possession in London, after the first part of the interview during which Snyder covered the regular topics, Lennon's legal representative - immigration attorney Leon Wildes - joined him on the panel to discuss the details of the case, as the famous musician directed his message at the American public in an appeal of sorts to be allowed to remain in the United States.<br />
NBC occasionally used Tomorrow to plug various holes in its late-night schedule. Snyder did a special Saturday show with Jerry Lewis as the only guest in October 1975 because the originally scheduled program (new sketch show called Saturday Night Live), which was supposed to premiere that night was not ready to air. Lewis was interviewed for one hour and fifteen minutes, before Snyder brought out then unknown youngsters Gilda Radner, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin, Billy Crystal, Chevy Chase, Garrett Morris, and John Belushi for the last fifteen minutes of the show so that the national audience can meet them for the first time.<br />
On September 8, 1980, the name was changed to "Tomorrow Coast To Coast".<br />

<br />
"I also recall one of Jerry's appearances they opened with Dave and Jerry playing Scrabble and Dave protested Jerry adding "in" to "truck" to make the word "trucking".[2]<br />

It was built as a vaudeville theater in 1922 and was named for People's Vaudeville Company co-founder David Warfield (born David Wohlfeld), who was born in San Francisco on November 28, 1866, one of Marcus Loew’s best friends and one of the first investors in the corporate empire that became Loews-MGM.<br />
He died in June 1951, 23 years after Marcus Loew passed away.<br />

In the 1920s, the Victorian influence can be seen in the architecture
and accoutrement, ornate ceiling designs, chandeliers, and wrought-iron
balustrades. Gold-leafed opera boxes overlook the palatial stage, and
the period mural that brightens up the top of the stage. Early
entertainment at the theatre included silent films and vaudeville shows
featuring Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong, Al Jolson and Rin Tin Tin. <br />
At one time it was the Loews Warfield and the Fox Warfield.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Loew's Warfield boasted one of the more impressive marquees of the Market St movie palaces. It was 3 sided with the street side arched. Full of lights and neon it also featured an inner marquee above the inside of the arch. The towering verticle sign was 6 stories high (like its neighbor around the corner, the Golden Gate).<br />
Architecturally, this is one of the nicest of the remaining movie palaces in San Francisco. The beautiful fan-like ceiling made the theatre look wider than it was deep and it has a beautiful classically painted mural over the proscenium. The balcony has chandeliers hanging from blue-lit coves. The marquee and verticle sign had to be taken down in the late 60's when pile drivers came through building the side supports of the BART subway. The side walks were widened and street trees added when subway construction was finished - and the new "look" forbade putting back those big marquees and verticle signs on any theatre that faced Market St. That's why they all have flat, fixed to the building plastic marquees now. Supposedly there was a speakeasy connected with the Warfield Theater
under Market Street, discovered while they were building BART.(2)<br />

The Warfield was given a beautiful renovation by National General in 1969. The balcony area has chair seating.<br />
May West was there for the premier of her film "Sextette" in the 70's.
Looking a little "waxy" and seated in a big chair, she was carted across
the stage to a mic by a couple of oiled up bodybuilders. They propped
her up and she said in her best Westian "Thanks for commin' to my
picsha" and then was carted back to the wings. The sold out crowd went
wild.<br />

In the 1970's, National General Cinemas and later Mann theaters ran it, primarily showing second-run fare. <br />
Mike Thomas did briefly operate the Warfield in the late 1970's-early 1980's before it sold to Bill Graham. "Dawn of the Dead" was shown first-run here in May 1979. Shortly
after the run of "Dawn", the Warfield became an occasional concert venue
and now runs concerts full-time.<br />
<br />
Like many historic theaters its main floor had the seats removed in the 1980s for general admission and dancing.<br />
<br />
Bob Dylan played 14 shows at the start of his first Gospel Tour in November 1979, and again 12 shows in November 1980 during his "A Musical Retrospective Tour" at the Warfield.<br />

Jerry plays a 1985 Takamine EF360S guitar.<br />
"Takamine, ca. 1985 6-string acoustic guitar, Serial Number 84111605, Rosewood back and sides, spruce top. The spruce top on the guitar exhibits some extremely light color within the grain running from back to front above and below the sound hole making it easily identifiable. With chrome hardware, red nylon and black leather guitar strap with a black leather musical note patch affixed to the strap, a few nicks and scrapes to body and head. With original black case with usual clasps and plastic handle, lined in nubby, orange polyester; case with splotches of red and pink paint, generally very worn. Includes case, Jerry's guitar strap and pick.[23]<br />
<br />
"According to Carolyn Adams Garcia: "This instrument was a favorite one of Jerry's 'playing' guitars. He played it extensively, and it traveled with him for years. It appears with him on album covers and in photographs of shows from the mid 1980's to early 1990. <br />
It has a very distinctive pattern in the spruce wood top that stands out in videos and photos from that time. The sides and back are rosewood. The red fabric strap with the black notes has been part of it throughout. The guitar has the marks of use and travel. <br />
He used it for recordings, shows and while practicing at home and at the studio. He played this guitar at his Wiltern Theater appearances and during his Broadway run. <br />
He played this guitar for many of his acoustic sets on stage in the late 1980s. It is also the guitar he most often brought home to practice on between gigs, preferring this acoustic to his electric guitars for working at home. <br />
Jerry loved this guitar and latched onto it as a solid replacement for his old acoustic Martin Dreadnaught, which he said was too fragile to travel. <br />
He liked the sharp twang of this Takamine's voice. Other band members and the crew actually have commented on its sharp distinctive tone. Likely this was an aspect of the built in pickup. Jerry liked that and the easy fingering of the narrow neck and the cutaway. It has sturdy construction that held up well on the road, and the original built in electronic elements that he used are there too. <br />
There is plenty of life in this well-made guitar. It has occasionally been played, and often enjoyed and admired by our family and friends over the years since Jerry's passing, and is a treasured old friend come around for the music. <br />
Takamine still makes this model, a testimonial to durability and desirability. <br />
We have kept it since 1990 when Jerry stopped using it for shows and kept it at home. Just having it has helped us deal with his absence over time."[23]<br />

<br />
<b>2/2/91</b> David Grisman (rehearsal)<br />
"We're just trying to get into the groove- we're not actually playing", says the Jerryman.<br />
<br />
"Grisman: We're gonna play a new original tune that Jerry and I wrote together. Sort of a synthesis of our two styles. The Dead and the Dawg styles. This is called Grateful Dawg.....or Dawgful Dead."[19]<br />
<br />
"As I walked onto the set of “The Thrill Is Gone,” I came to the realization that I was really going to direct a Jerry Garcia/David Grisman music video. The modern San Francisco club had become a 1940′s speak easy thanks to the great set design of Danny ColAngelo.<br />
The connection between my Grateful Dead family and the Grisman Dawgs had gone way back. Now Gillian Grisman and I were partners in a film company. We’d played together as kids, and now they needed a video for the Garcia/Grisman album. As my best friend’s father, Francis Coppola, had always told me, “Steal from the best.”<br />
I used my best friend Gio Coppola’s montages from his dad’s flick, The Cotton Club for inspiration. Having worked with Garcia before I knew he had no love of spending endless time on a film set. Jerry’s health had already caused a month’s delay and some feared he might not have a lot to give toward this project. The first time I passed he and David joking with each other on their way to the set, I knew Jerry was going to be up for it.<br />
The day started by shooting some bar and “filler” scenes. With each set-up I was getting more comfortable directing the crew, yet I was nervous about having enough time to get all of the footage we needed of the band performing the song. As we tried the first few takes, I realized Jerry had never heard the way David had edited his solo. Once he got that down, all I was nervous about was that Jerry would find out I was responsible for the HORRIBLY OUT OF TIME CLAPPING used to cue the song’s start.<br />
Of course shots that were supposed to get done fast took a long time and vice versa. Taking advantage of the time Jerry and David were on the set, we shot their scenes first. Watching the band run through “The Thrill Is Gone” I got the feeling just seeing Garcia in a gangster suit and tie would be worth the price of admission! Throughout the day Jerry never lost his sense of humor, even when Gillian repeatedly asked for his pants to be fitted. “I’d never do this for the Grateful Dead,” Garcia remarked at one point.<br />
While the crew set up for the exterior shots, the musicians swapped jokes with Ricky Jay, a man who has mastered the art of using cards as weapons. A light rain fell as I walked through the sidewalk shots with David, Jerry and cameraman ColAngelo. My attention was so focused on the set that it took me a while to notice that people were gathering across the street in front of a wall where someone had spray painted GRATEFUL DEAD in large letters.<br />
It never dawned on us that shooting a video with Jerry Garcia on a major San Francisco street would draw attention. Between takes Jerry commented that he’d been on this street all his life. First, as a kid, he was a bouncer for a local night club. Throughout the following years he played thousands of gigs at that same club, which was across the street from where we were shooting, “and I’m still fuckin’ on Market Street!”<br />
Around 1 a.m. we completed the shots needed for the video’s opening and closing and I said goodnight to David and Jerry. Having all of their scenes in the can made me more relaxed, until I saw the weary gang of extras that had been waiting all day to start shooting."[22]<br />
<br />
"Ripple-I"m convinced this was written as a prayer. I read somewhere that JG didn't love playing it live most of the time -- felt it was too sacred to be performed loosely. If that's not true, I'd rather not be disillusioned."[25]<br />
<br />

Jerry plays a Martin D-28 or Gibson Super 400 guitar.<br />
"Grisman: ...formed our own styles because Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass, said the best thing you can do if you learn how to play bluegrass is then go out and get your own style. So Jerry, he started the Dead style of music. He's a pioneer in that.<br />
Garcia: David, he started dawg music. Grisman: So now, the last time we got together we were playing bluegrass. Now we are trying to fuse our styles. So we have a new tune tha's kind of a combination of Dead and Dawg. Or as we call it Grateful Dawg." Also, before Dawg's Waltz, Grisman says, "This next number is a real quiet waltz.<br />
Imagine yourself in a Parisian cafe in 1902." At this point, Jerry bursts out laughing and mutters something like "Yeah, right!". [20]<br />

""I was on the floor, Jerry breaks into Everybody Needs Somebody - the place explodes and smiles all around. The california blond beauty who was working the floor - leaves her post and starts dancing with us. It was like Jerry put her in a trance and she let the music take her over. I never seen anything like that - one of my greatest concert moments. This was my first trip out west and everything people said about the Warfield was 100% true. I heard that magic happens there and Jerry comes out after the show in the back and waves goodbye - well, he did. I'm smiling right now just think about it."[25]<br />

During their second set, Garcia and Grisman, seated in easy chairs, proceeded to perform several duets that has Garcia foot-tapping a beat while he alternated between 6 and 12 string guitar and banjo."[42]<br />

"I found a ticket quickly out front for $15, met up with some friends from the mountains and smoked a bowl of Washington kind bud. I was real stoned plus two drinks inside me and danced happily thru the whole first set with some cool people on the floor right in front of a column of speakers but out of view of Jerry himself. There was lots of room though, which, at the packed Warfield, is a rare commodity. The sound is loud and good.<br />
Break time with sweat and more sweat, another drink, another bowl and a new spot on "Phil's side" in the midst of spinners & freaks whom all seem nice enough and stoned too. Now you just sit & wait for the music which eventually comes after a long time.<br />
Second set boom. the spinners around me are, well naturally they're spinning wildly and their longhair slaps me in the face forcing me to dance a bit harder until I'm in a frenzy to the winding beat. It's hot as hell and I'm tired and I still have to go on, harder faster lighter, it's crazy and iIm slam inside the guts of this beast jumping pumping grinding down the beat which plows into the crowd pushing us into each other, off each other and into the person next to us. Finally the band wraps it up, last song and the lights are up. A lot more sweat and looped people trying to find their jacket or birks or bong and seeing friends who say "See you at Shoreline" smiling and out into the rough pavement of market street. Those less fortunate hock their wares and the bums grunt and thrust their empty Burger King cups in front of the exiting heads.The walk back home to North Beach is quick as I rocket forth with the show's energy. The smile never goes away."[34]<br />

BGP had just finished retro-fitting the Fillmore, which had been dark for almost five years due to damage from the '89 earthquake, and were re-opening the epic old hall with a run of 17 or so shows in a row. In the classic BGP way they put on a killer party featuring the Neville Brothers the night before the official re-opening - an opening that has continued unbroken to this day (HOORAY!!), and I was really looking forward to it. <br />
I had been feeling a weird little pain in my gut for a few days leading up to the party but it was no big whoop... until I got to the Fillmore, when it became a brutal stabbing pain that had me doubled over. <br />
I ended up in the ER that night getting dosed with morphine (HOORAY!!) and certain I was going to die (and hoping for it at that point). <br />
I was also certain that I wasn't going to the Jerry show the next night, despite having dead center front row balcony seats (the best seats in the Bay Area), but thanks to the miracle of modern medicine the pain went away (I was told it was likely a kidney stone but one was never found) so feeling better after a good night's sleep I figured what the hell, GO TO THE SHOW! <br />
Being much relieved at feeling better so quickly and being with a good old friend (and being sorta' stupid) I indulged a bit too much before the show (ah my Jagermeister days) and got a bit hammered. I then began to have what I would describe as an anxiety attack during the 1st set. <br />
"What the hell am I DOING??? I was flat on my back ER just a few hours ago!!! I'm KILLING myself!!! This has all got to STOP!!!" <br />
I began freaking out, my mind & heart racing/shaking with cold sweats/the whole deal, thinking I HAD to leave, but I didn't want to bum out my friend who was having the time of his life in those amazing seats, so I told myself, "Self, you've been here before - CALM DOWN!" <br />
Fortunately I DID calm down as the indulgements calmed down and I began feeling better during the break so I didn't say anything to my friend, but I was shook up and was just looking to get through the set and get home. <br />
Jerry and his band took the stage for the 2nd set and began with Shining Star, a song I had not to that point been crazy about, especially as a set opener, but almost immediately the words were ringing in my head about "being right here where you are, 'till my dying day" and suddenly I was totally relaxed and TOTALLY in the groove with Jerry. <br />
Overall it's an excellent version of Shining Star but I doubt that it's the greatest version ever, but the ending, where the band brings it down and the crowd begins singing the words was the best I ever heard. The crowd was singing as one to Jerry, and he GOT it that night big-time and he just kept that part going longer than usual. A very clear connection between the crowd & Jerry developed and everyone knew it; it was a truly amazing moment - intimate, special, emotional. <br />
I'll never forget how that song and that entire set afterward became a total love-fest between the crowd and Jerry, and what a powerful night it was for me personally. <br />
I've had a lot of emotional times with Jerry and the boys, and I continue to, but that night and that song was the most emotional moment I've ever had with him or them. <br />
I am proud to say I was wiping tears out of my eyes that night after realizing that I was fine and was right where I wanted to be, and would continue to be, until my dying day. <br />
There is an audio of that Shining Star. You can't really hear how loud & clear the crowd was singing as one and you can't feel what the room felt like during that part, but it's there and it was real, and you can hear how Jerry just lets it keep going. I wish we could see his face, but all these years later I can still see his smile and how much he was digging it. Time flies. I sure do miss Jerry."[16]<br />

""Getting the gear in to tape these shows was difficult, but we found ways around that. The harder part was not getting busted during the show, because they knew that everyone wanted to tape from the drink rail, so they knew where to look. One of the head security guys was so hard-core he wore a DAT tape on a chain around his neck, just to show us he was not fucking around. Between the JGB and Garcia/Grisman, I went to almost 80 shows at the Warfield from '89-'95. That was the smartest thing I've ever done in my life, no doubt. The caliber of music we saw there was unmatched. There was a big difference in seeing the JGB there as opposed to one of the big, soulless venues: Philly, Meadowlands, Oakland Coliseum, take your pick. <br />
It always blew me away that the Dead would play Giants Stadium to 80,000 people or whatever it held, then the next month we would be seeing Garcia at the Warfield, which many times was not sold out. I felt very lucky."[18]<br />

This show was canceled. Rescheduled for 2/13/95.<br />
The 8pm show was postponed at 8:45pm. Jerry hurt his hand while on vacation.(35)<br />
"The official story is that he got stung by a jellyfish while diving in Bonaire. When we got to the venue that night to go to the show, I was struck by a very strange feeling that all was not well. We were on the corner of 6th and Market, in the middle of tons of heads, and I looked at my wife and said, "We are selling our tickets, something's wrong, we're not going in." This was not something I would ever consider doing normally, as the Warfield was the home gig and we loved the place, and seeing Jerry there. She just kind of looked at me, and seeing I was shaken and dead serious, she said ok. We sold the tickets within moments and went somewhere for dinner.<br />
The next day my friend called and said "where the hell were you guys? Did you hear what happened? There was no show last night, they let us all in, everyone was waiting for the show to start as normal, and finally they came out and said Jerry is sick, the show is canceled."[18]<br />

Jerry and Bob Weir attended a show by the Gypsy Kings at the Warfield in San Francisco. Bill Kreutzmann was there as well, on <b>March 15th, 1989</b>.[39]<br />
<br />
On <b>Novenber 16, 1993</b>, Jerry attended a Los Lobos show here. Blair Jackson mentions a Los Lobos show at the Warfield in San Francisco. I sat just to the right of the right-hand aisle; Garcia was a row behind me just to the left of the same aisle. I chatted with him before the Los Lobos set. I asked him whether the lyric in "Lady with a Fan" says "shed light" or "share light," and he said that people should hear it however they like: "I'm just the singer, man!"[40]<br />
<br />
"I represented Jerry Garcia and the Jerry Garcia Band (dba Concensus Reality, Inc.) in a lawsuit filed by a tenant at the Warfield. This guy sued BGP, the Warfield Bldg. and JGB for creating a nuisance that interfered with his "quiet enjoyment" of his office when the band played. Never got to meet Jerry, but I would have been a pretty solid witness for the plaintiff."[41]<br />

On May 3, 1993, S.F.S.U. Student Center's Barbary Coast Room was dedicated to Jack Adams and renamed Jack Adams Hall.(1) Jack Adams was a beloved member of the SFSU community for over 20 years and is remembered for his hard work and dedication to both the campus and AIDS community. A year after his graduation he joined SFSU as the properties manager, and later the stage manager for the school of Creative Arts.<br />
In 1982 he was appointed assistant director of the Student Union, a position he would hold until his untimely death nearly ten years later.<br />
Adams resigned in July 1992 because of his declining health due to AIDS-related complications. He passed away on November 21, 1992 at the age of 47.<br />

floating around for years. A company makes "commemorative" posters of
past rock events, and you can usually get them for 10 or 20 bucks in
record stores (remember those?).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For the record, Bill Kreutzmann actually graduated from Paly, and Pigpen
probably attended. There is a persistent rumor that the Warlocks
played, but the date keeps changing (Sep 19, 1965 has been floated),
which leads me to suspect that its wishful thinking. But hey, Santana
played the 1969 graduation dance (June 10, 1969--you can look it up).</span><br />

The Honolulu Memorial (1925)<br />
Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium <br />
Lewis P. Hobart won the design competition for the World War I memorial with a natatorium and band shell. The Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium was constructed ocean-side in Kapiolani Park in the shadow of Diamond Head. It was designed to be a "living memorial" to the 102 servicemen from Hawaii who were killed in WWI. In the center of a long wall is an elaborate 20 foot-tall memorial archway toped by four stone eagles. The huge 40 by 100 meters tide fed saltwater pool is suitable for Olympic swimmers; bleachers for 6,500 face the pool and the ocean beyond. The facility fell into disrepair but underwent a $4.4million partial restoration and was rededicated Memorial Day, 2000. The pool itself was not repaired.(5)<br />

Opened September, 1956 with Ernest Chang, a high school student, performing.(6)<br />
With world-famous Diamond Head for a backdrop and Waikiki Beach just across the street, the Waikiki Shell is a unique venue for outdoor concerts and other large gatherings.<br />
The architecture of the Waikiki Shell reflects the Polynesian cultural roots of Oahu. Shaped like an elegant seashell, the site offers excellent outdoor acoustics blended with a laid-back atmosphere.<br />
This magnificent shell-shaped facility - with its acoustically sophisticated stage, is an ideal location for twilight concerts, featuring balmy skies, lush greenery and -- of course - the Entertainment. You'll find no other setting like this in the world!<br />
The large stage, convenient work areas, dressing rooms, professional lighting, sound equipment and the unique setting, makes the "Shell" a most desirable facility in which to present an event.<br />
The storied Kodak Hula Show was long a staple of the facility, beginning in 1937, showcasing a historical look at the islands through the beauty of the hula performed by Hawaiian resident dancers to traditional Hawaiian music.(3)<br />
<br />
In July, 1960, Bobby Darin performed here.<br />
<br />
Frank Sinatra had a fund-raising gig here on October 2, 1960, in support of the Kennedy-Johnson ticket.(2)<br />

Personal Recollections<br />
Steve Lysen: "Everybody [I knew] took acid right before the concert. It's packed in there. And all of a sudden this full moon (I've never seen it so big), this hideous looking, full orange, full moon, came right over Diamond Head. And we're all looking at it, 'Woah! Look at that, looks just like an evil moon!' and stuff like that. Like you feel the presence of the devil.<br />
"And all of a sudden he came out on stage and I think his first song was "Fire." [sic] I don't remember if it was the first one, but I remember it was in the first three... It was like an acid vacuum cleaner! Blowing everybody's mind so to speak and people couldn't handle it. I think I left after about the fourth or the fifth song [laughs]; I couldn't handle it. So what I heard from other people the next day, just after I left he left the stage and his promoter came out and said that Jimi would make up with a free concert on Sunday night."<br />
Tom Hulett (concert promoter, Concerts West): "The audience was dead. They seemed stoned and gave no reaction. Jimi spoke to the crowd and excused himself, saying that he had to have this problem fixed. He went and got into his limousine. Tom Moffat[t] got on the microphone. Eric Barrett and Gerry Stickells ran around trying to fix the problem. I was getting nervous: we were sold out and all of a sudden nothing was happening.<br />
"Then Stickells came up to me and said that Jimi didn't want to go back on. I told Stickells to keep people playing with the wires while I went out to the car and spoke with Jimi. Stickells and I must have tried for thirty minutes, but he was not going back on.<br />
"Jimi said to tell everybody to come back [Sunday] night. He would more than make up for it then. I tried to explain that they were all here now and we had already torn their tickets in half, but I knew him too well. He wasn't going back on. Knowing this, we got ahold of the building manager, ran down to the old Honolulu arena used for wrestling matches, and picked up rolls of tickets.<br />
"We made an announcement that the sound system couldn't be repaired and Jimi Hendrix wouldn't want to perform with substandard equipment all of which was bullshit and that if they all left quietly and picked up a ticket stub, they would be admitted to the [Sunday concert]... Everybody was pissed off. These people were all fucked up on drugs and little more than 1,000 picked up their stubs. The rest were yelling 'Fuck you.'".(1)(7)<br />
