Garcia Cipollina Casady Kaukonen Freiberg Papa John 10-21-1970

Tuesday Night Jams @ The Matrix, San Francisco featuring Jerry Garcia, John Cipollina, David Freiberg, Jack Casady Jorma Kaukonen and Papa John Creach. Some debate on the date, it is probably 1969 as 10-21 was a Tuesday in 1969 and not 1970. Some say Garcia is not here but I hear him on the first and last song clearly. Anyhow, enjoy.

[@geraldoarnoldo6440]

Met John Cipollina in 1980 at a tradeshow in San Francisco. He was working as a rigger/stagehand /union gig for extra pay. John said he always kept his union dues up because he always had it to fall back on between gigs. He was a guitar hero of mine when a teenager learning to play. He was a humble and down to earth person. John found a way to get our stolen microphone returned by appealing to the shop steward on our behalf.

This a stunning piece of music. Phycodelic jazz fusion perfectly blended by the top of the trade musicians. That they all have this thing inside is amazing. A muscian feels the music first and when it comes out like this its magic.this isnst done like this anymore not on such a big level.

[@rupertps]

What a wonderful combination of great musicians... I loved the Jefferson Airplane while Casaday and Kaukonen were there, and always loved Garcia, and here they bring in John Cipolina, Freiberg. I hear Popa John at this moment... this is an emotional high for me...Haight Ashbury at its best

From that day on, I can say I got my first feel for travelling from our 1991 California trip!

Nicky Hopkins did play organ. He played it on the Quicksilver albums when he was recording with them. John Cipollina (Quicksilver lead guitar) is one of my favorite guitar players from the '60s era. His licks are like no other and influenced many axe players to come.

[@chicodon9092]

Loved to hear John Cipollina when he played through horns. No sound quite like it.

[@CieloVistaSoftware]

This is the birthing process of new songs, repeated phrases allow multiple attempts to try new things. Practice like this tightens the band and leads to live improvisation ability.. Everyone gets to experience each other's specific styles. It garners respect for each other and forms tight emotional bonds. Remember this was just a recording of a single jam session. It was never meant to be a full production. When jams are repeated over and over, people take notice. Small shows start eventually leading to full out concert or pub venues. From there, music publishers take note as well as radio stations. From there it's history, with everyone fully aware of the produced end product. Musicians rarely get bored with getting together to jam. They achieve a very satisfying emotional high (even when sober) from the interactions. People crtical of this most likely have never jammed.

[@codybluetarp]

I must say as a violinist, Papa John's playing here is the most articulate that i have ever heard him play on studio recordings, with the starship, for example. But the one wonderful constant that comes forth in these jams is the listening that all of the players exhibit, and practice here. It's a conversation where, as usual the most interesting parts come along through an ordered moment of playing on a road toward a point that is opening up, like hearing this for the 1st time. Good art welcomes us to return to now. Thanks for that, and a re-introduction to Papa John Creach's playing in this setting. A musical confluence of the Bay Area Greats.

[@jeffjennings9202]

Not sure why you guys are doubting if Garcia and particularly Cippolina are even playing on this. Garcia solos at the 3:38 mark (you can actually hear Cippolina and Garcia back and forth with Jorma on rhythm until the 11:15 mark ) The next 20 minutes becomes the Papa John (and Steve Winwood?) show. At the 30:37 mark it sounds like Chips and Jorma come back to the stage (Garcia apparently checked out) and the two go back and forth the rest of the way. IMO, the players are: Guitars: Garcia/Cippolina/Jorma Bass: Jack "Baddest MF on the planet" Casady Violin: Papa John | Drums: Greg Elmore | Piano: David Freiberg | B-3: Steve Winwood. Yow!

[@SetantaCovenant]

The first track sounds somewhat like Blind Faith's 'Had To Cry Today.' The riff is similar but more interesting here. The end-of-phrase drums very reminiscent of Ginger Baker's. It could have been turned into a killer song without too much difficulty. What makes this superior to BF for me is that, once Stevie Winwood stops singing, 'Had to cry' quickly runs out of steam. Clapton sounds like he doesn't know where to take it. Not these guys though. Takes a li'l bit to get going. But once it does .... Jesus, those guys are cooking'! Papa John flips it on its head. Wonderful lyrical phrasing. And that bass? Not Casady? Sounds like him to me. Brilliant whoever it is. Love it all to bits. Thanks to uploader for sharing this.

Brings me back to my time in the Army. Chanced to see Quicksilver, Airplane, and the Dead in Hawaii while training for Nam in 69 and 70. Best music ever. Don't want to be back there, but w/this I can still have that feeling like no other. And I can still hate the government w/similar energy. It's all about plunder and spoils, folks. God Bless 🇺🇸. We sure as fuck need it now. "Don't follow leaders...". 😁✌🏻❤️🎸🌻😩

Jack Casady is great on this.

[@regionalunityproductions4378]

He kicks ass on "20 Seconds Over Winterland" on "Twilight Double Leader", but unfortunately Grace is NOT one of her best performances. It's like pouring vinegar on an ice-cream cone.

Casady is great on everything he has recorded!

DAMN! Nicky Hopkins gets AROUND!!

[@JuanMiller-jb7yg]

Great jam! Nicky Hopkins should be added for credit and "searchability". Not convinced that it was Nicky on organ . . . and who was the drummer!?!? He really rocked and had some chops!

[@jg6698]

Not Hopkins. Merle Saunders

Track 1: Minute 8:45 - 9:20 - I believe this section has influenced Floyd's track ECHOES (original track) hear from minutes 7:00 (the meddle part). Great great post!!

More Cippolina because he was the best of psychedelics

[@davidfarris894]

Saw John Cioppolina with Nick Gravenites open for Roy Buchanan Keystone Berkeley round 81.BEST SHIT EVER!!!!

[@garymorgan3314]

He remains underrated especially in UK and almost nobody I mention him to has heard of let alone heard him. Only album I ever worn out: 'Happy Trails' and all have heard it know how special it is.

[@thegreatchain7112]

@@garymorgan3314 I'm the biggest supporter of marijuana legalization ! however we're fortunate that marijuana was highly illegal when Dino Valenti sabitoged Cippolina ! if he didn't do time for pot, there never would've been, QMS 1 - and Happy Trails

[@garymorgan3314]

@@thegreatchain7112 Don't know much about Valenti, just that the band certainly didn't need him as the centre was, as all we fans know, the amazing guitar interplay of Gary Duncan and Cippolona who may indeed have been " the best of the psychedelics" - and Duncan was brilliant too. Hardly anyone in Britain has heard them let alone likes them: of they HAD heard them they surely would love them as they ate especially scintillating live.

[@thegreatchain7112]

@@garymorgan3314 Both Santana & the Allman Bros band ; copied the great Gary Grubb Duncan since Jessica is Gold and Silver backwards and Santana,,'s rhythms and some leads emulated Duncan's 🎸 mastery. Now imagine have John Cippolina with that ?😵😀🎸😵 = The best Psychedelic Rock Band of all time

How many of us have read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway? For me, that is the closest anyone has come to capturing a similar art and energy to San Francisco during this era. The Matrix. The place was TINY and its rotating door of owners constantly broke. The musicians were broke except maybe the airplane had a few bucks but not sure. Pre social media an entire community drawn from the nation and really the world somehow knew to coalesce for what was, in hindsight, a very brief and bright flame that still reverberates to this day. Family Dog, a tiny commune if you will, somehow scraped up a few bucks for Chet to help get the music connected to the people. Bill Graham, who in a way was as far from this scene as could be (Heavy East Coast Energy) , locked in and of course made history. From the Matrix and Family Dog to Fillmore West and Bill Graham. The Avalon Ballroom. A Combination of the Two (play it Sam, sing it Janis) . A Moveable Feast. Owsley sprinkling his pixie juice. No one wanted to be or expected to be a hero. Maybe most of all Jerry. They just wanted to play. I might argue that Fillmore West had more great music played in its hall than anywhere outside of the great classical symphony halls of the world. I was too young for the Matrix, but came in for the next phase while it was still "small". Keystone(s), Winterland, Oakland Auditorium (Henry J), Marin Civic, Berkeley Community, Frost, Warfield, etc. I do think there was one night where it did all come together as it was. 12/31/82, Garcia, Cippolina, country Joe. I was for sure transported that night. I think the punk scene that sprung up in the City in the 80's was almost as epic if you were a punk. I wasn't, but I had friends who were and it seemed like they went to epic live music all the time at the epic SF punk venues. Now? God what a joke. Vomit worthy tech bros and the most vanilla culture ever. My kid is 19 and she tells me that there just isnt any badass scenes like back then. It's not the kids fault. How do you have a real scene when you have to make so much money just to pay for a bedroom? When your parents track you night and day on your phone? Anyone who ate off that plate back then, who sat at that feast, treasure it. It will never, ever happen like that again.
