Garcia & Saunders also played with Tony on bass on 2/14/75 and 5/9/75 (this was Merl's other band Aunt Monk, though very sim to Legion of Mary), and on the tapes that circulate (mis)dated 7/21 & 7/22/74 (the actual dates are Jan 21-22 1975; I think they were billed as Garcia/Saunders?). Dunno where Kahn was on the June 74 shows, but the other dates were all Merl's gigs. Garcia sat in with Merl's band on 10/3/78, which I presume still had Tony on bass. They are all great performances, and you'll hear the difference: I like John Kahn a lot, but Tony is a funkier player.<br /><br />Other shows without Kahn... there's one of the Jan 73 G/S shows with vocalist Sarah Fulcher where the bassist from (I think) Fulcher's own band plays instead of Kahn. Kahn didn't play in the Great American String Band, of which Garcia was briefly a member in '74. There are a couple of shows from March 82 where Dave Torbert covers for Kahn. So you're right, not many.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628132999021385676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8189740927119210874.post-42636208795897283542017-05-24T20:30:19.820-04:002017-05-24T20:30:19.820-04:00Tony Saunders on bass?

That is something I need to hear.<br /><br />Other than the Garcia/Grisman dates, how many times did Garcia front a band that did not have either Phil Lesh or John Kahn on bass? Not many I would think?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145916442312520291noreply@blogger.com
