Please do anything from The Jerry Garcia Band at the Shoreline amphitheater in 1990. There was only one video from that venue so it should be easy to find. If you want a long one that’s excellent, I would suggest Don’t Let Go and if you wanna do a short one, that’s only a few minutes , I would suggest My Sisters and Brothers. This is really when Jerry was in his prime, meaning that his playing was really advanced, his health was good, and as a human being he had moved beyond a lot of the deeper traps and frictions of his addictions which were a bit off the rails in the 80s before his coma. Obviously he still had problems up until the end but at least he wasn’t going crazy with the cocaine. There was a certain wisdom after his “rebirth’ post coma. Nobody can deny that there was such great songwriting and so many great shows during the 70s, so a lot of people will cite that as the time to listen to. He was young then and so his playing was really good sometimes, but there were a lot of ups and downs as far as which shows were really good. Some of them were hit or miss. But before his health really started to decline in the 90s, especially after the coma before Brent died his playing was just so smooth in the chemistry of the band was absolutely top-notch. and a lot of the songs had really reached a maturity after being played for so many years so my favorite and a lot of people‘s favorite time for both The Jerry Garcia Band and the Grateful Dead is pretty much from like 1987 until 1992 and then he started to have problems because of his diabetes, especially toward the end, losing some feeling in his fingers and that’s definitely reflected if you look for it toward the last year or two. Personally when I put on songs such as Gomorra, I always choose versions after 1987. In 1977 That was a new song and so there’s still that feeling of exploration but when you hear later versions, Jerry has definitely come up with so many great lines for not just that song, but lots of the songs that he had been playing for years and years and years. An example of this kind of playing is really anything off of Garcia Live which has what looks like a cartoon drawing of The Jerry Garcia Band and the crowd on its cover. Everything on there is absolutely stellar. Or anything on the album How Sweet It Is. Or anything on the album Shining Star. You really can’t go wrong with anything from those albums but if you want something that was filmed at a live Jerry Garcia concert professionally, not from someone with a small camera in the audience really the only thing out there is the shoreline Amphitheater Show. You really can’t go wrong with any of the songs on that video either. Keep feeding us! 😂
My friend Betty Cantor was the recording engineer for this show. It's her audio mix. I went to work one day and said "hey Betty, the Garcia estate released another Betty Board" and told her it was this show. She said, Oh I remember that place. She said she was using a bathroom that overlooked an alleyway and she heard noise outside and looked. It was a big moving truck moving the People's Temple eventually down to Guyana. A year or so later, the People's Temple in Guyana committed mass suicide drinking Kool Ade with poison prompted by madman, Rev. Jim Jones. I remember saying "holy sh+t that is an incredible story." She was at the point of a triangle; one direction is Garcia and the other is Rev. Jim Jones. Wild...
Hey Biz, I'm big fan of this album as well. But I thought we'd travel back a bit further into Gerry's earlier work, if interested. "Gerry Garcia & Bob Weir - Swing Low Sweet Chariot" (by the channel: Phil Matera) --This album "Bud The Spud" by Stompin' Tom Connors was released in 1969, so, this album takes us back into Garcia's early years and it fits within the time when he was with the Grateful Dead, but before the formation of the Gerry Garcia Band. (if that makes sense) And we should keep in mind Garcia usually had some sort of side gig going on a regular basis. It was pretty common practice with many artists and musicians in this era to have had side collaboration's going with other artists from different groups. Many of them were friends and many were even married to each other. lol I'm glad to see your sub's rising in number. Great job

Jerry damaged his voice in 78 and you almost exclusively listen to 80s or 90s stuff. If you listen to earlier stuff his voice is very smooth.
