Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Star, Stripes

Garcia’s about to pop that blond fucker for stealing his look.

Also: Olompali?

And: This photo comes via the Brokedown Podcast, which you should check out.

Plus: I’ve changed my mind about Purple Dress’ age nine times now. Look at her: she could be anywhere from a really-mature 13 to 43 with good genes.

Double-Plus: Behind Garcia on the other side. Blue shirt and sunglasses. All right, all right, all right.

With: Garcia is not smoking, and for the only reason Garcia was ever not smoking: he was about to smoke. There were only two options.

    This is a batting cage. Not joking here–this is some local or school rec field, and Jer’s at home plate. Is that an SG?

    • Corry342

      ok, i guess Jerry has the Guild.

      • ReadingDoonesbury

        It’s a Les Paul with p-90 pickups.

        • Luther Von Baconson

          the p-90s and…..

      • Thoughts On The Dead

        Corry, you wearing your glasses, buddy? That’s the Les Pauliest Les Paul that ever Les Pauled.

        • Corry342

          well, right the first time I guess. So its definitely Summer or Fall ’67, based on the guitar and the Jercut. But where is it? Some free concert where there was a baseball diamond?

          • Thoughts On The Dead

            And a teepee. This sounds like the Riddler came up with it.

            “Where can you find a diamond and a teepee?”

          • Corry342

            god, I didn’t even notice the teepee. I’ve normalized it.

  2. Corry342

    I think the blonde guy is Bob Matthews. Also, there’s a building, like a park building, behind the teepee. This has the look of a free concert, but where? Seattle?

    they played the park in the afternoon with the airplane and then drove to vegas for the evening gig

    • Corry342

      I think Vegas was October. The source was TC, who would have remembered it, but not the date. I’m now leaning towards October

  4. Robin Russell

    I vote Oct 21st for Vegas. And I second ruppie43 on Elysian Park.

    Someone should ask MG about this pic.

  5. Robin Russell

    However, it is nearly certain to be a pic of Elysian, an outstanding find – note the Chavez 67 written on the pic – Chavez Ridge at Elysian in LA.

    • Corry342

      Yes, good call on “Chavez”–I had thought it was a photographer’s name, but I was barking up the wrong tree.

    • Luther Von Baconson

      good get

    Tripping Balls Laying Down Guy

    OK. the striped shirt with Expo ’67 emblazoned on it, in the green stripe. i’ll buy one.

    • Luther Von Baconson

      jerry at Golden Gardens (you can take the 45 from the Ave, via Green Lake, Greenwood, Crown Hil, Sunset Hill Ballard…..the last stop, take the stairs down to the beach) avec la meme chemise, mon dieu! Les Paul sans Le Bixby aussi aussi, Pitou!

  8. Robin Russell

    Now, turning to the real issue, what is Jerry extracting from his left front pocket?

    • Mean, Green, Devil Eating Machine

      A pack of Pall Mall cigs.

      • Robin Russell

        My conclusion too.
