The Broken Angels began as an ever-changing confederation of
Dead-influenced musicians, organized by David Gans, which first came
together in "The Dead Experiment," a regularly scheduled series of
jams on Tuesday nights at Blake's on Telegraph in Berkeley. When that
gig ended, Gans began to appear with different groups of Broken Angels
at various Bay Area venues. In September 1997, at the first "Deadhead
Community Center" benefit, held at Berkeley's venerable Ashkenaz Music
and Dance Club to help that venue raise money for a new P.A. system,
Phil Lesh dropped by and delighted the assembled throng by joining the
Broken Angels for a couple of tunes. This inspired further Lesh/Angels
collaborations in November and December at Maritime Hall and on
January 31, 1998 at the Fillmore, to benefit the Unbroken Chain
Foundation.
