On August 13, 1975, The Grateful Dead played a show at the ridiculously small and distinctively decorous Great American Music Hall (GAMH) in San Francisco. This was one of only four concerts the band played that year, all of them in San Francisco. The setlist was mostly comprised of songs from the album Blues for Allah, which had not yet been released. Many Deadheads revere the GAMH performance as an all-time favorite.
On a cool and windy but exquisitely sunny day, just a short jaunt from the Terrapin Crossroads nightclub and restaurant presided over by Grateful Dead co-founder Phil Lesh from 2012 to 2022, a similar collective of staff and musicians offered their third “Sunday Daydream” on July 21, along the San Pablo Bay in San Rafael, Calif.
Today, Bay Area heavy-hitter Alex Jordan releases his new LP Queen Kerosene via ALP.

Alex Jordan is an old musical soul in a young man’s body. He approaches things with the fresh perspective of a relative newcomer, but he’s been playing so long—like since he could hold on to an instrument—that he has a fully rounded sense of the history of rock and its roots. And that’s why The Subtle Exhibitionist presents such a wide range of musical flavors, cooked up with exquisite taste. Lots of it is brand new, but often you have the oddest feeling that it’s an album you’ve had forever.
