What a strange thing this is.
SFC listing for Jerry Garcia at the Warfield, August 21, 1982.
It almost certainly wasn't JGB: that band had last played June 24 out east, and wouldn't play again (in a new configuration) until October 13th.
It was almost certainly planned to be the Garcia/Kahn acoustic duo, two days before they'd play the Kabuki Theater a mile and a half away.
But it almost certainly didn't happen. This is the only whiff of this I have ever seen, and it's just so random ... yet it didn't come from nowhere. Someone in Garcia's orbit called the Chronicle and told them about this. Weird.
I don't know whether to call this is a phantom or a cancellation. Anyone?
Not 100% sure it was the 21st, but I definitely saw a Garcia/Kahn acoustic show at the Warfield in August 82. Only tune I remember is Friend of the Devil, because it was so bad... I think they both fell asleep at certain points...
ReplyDeleteWow, so it may really have happened? How big was the crowd? They generally played much smaller clubs.
DeleteLOL about them falling asleep. I have never been a big fan of that particular manifestation of Garcia On The Side.
