The Broken Angels began as an ever-changing confederation of Dead-influenced musicians, organized by David Gans, which first came together in a regularly scheduled series of jams on Tuesday nights at Blake's 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 at the Fillmore, to benefit the Unbroken Chain Foundation.
