About the archive

How Garcia got documented

Shakedown Shuffle is archival journalism about the people, equipment, institutions, and accidents that documented Jerry Garcia. The essays are the spine; the surviving tapes are evidence.

The catalog and research are free to browse. Membership supports the software, bandwidth, catalog work, and editorial research behind the integrated listening service.
