I remember this JGB tour fondly, actually was the first true "Molly" tour. Not that this fact had anything with what was going on inside, but it was driving the outside, which in turn got us ALL inside, and he blew the doors off this whole tour, starting with the Jerryweather 2 nights, which in my mind were EPIC. This was a lot of fun, heard a few songs entirely new to my comprehension, Some I'll Takes and some Missions, along with this Let it. But overall a truly E-static charged tour!
The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues Fourteen years ago, I began writing The Encyclopedia Of Jerry Garcia Music Venues. It's the only book that combines all of Jerry's side band dates and the Grateful Dead's dates together by venue. Alphabetically by state, there are over 1300 venues that include rehearsal, recording, performance, living spaces and planned/canceled show venues. The history of each venue is here including architects, builders, owners, opening night performances and other notable appearances, murals, statues, stage prosceniums, backstage areas, pipe organs, secret rooms, hidden tunnels, restorations and demolitions. Jerry's history at each venue includes the bands he played with, setlists, opening acts and other information giving the reader an idea of what went down at every date on every tour. In many cases via dated photos, what guitar Jerry was playing, and other anecdotal stuff that we love to read. I've added eyewitness reports to as many specific dates as possible. These are numerous, hysterical and heartwarming. Thus far I‘ve collected over 1120 hi res venue photos approved by over 900 photographers. I've utilized college and public library special collections, historical societies, museums, Flickr and others. There aren't any Jerry photos, I have photos of the venues themselves to highlight where he played. Jerry owned over 130 musical instruments in his lifetime, giving away most of them. It's all chronicled in a 300 page section called Jerry's Musical Instruments. Envision a two volume, 2400 page set protected in a slipcase, similar to an old bible. This is a book that resembles the records kept for medieval pilgrimages to holy sites. People will want to know centuries from now where it all took place...so there ya go! On June 3rd the Kickstarter campaign launches with a cool little video starring me, and Jerry! That's where you can get the pre-purchase discount. I need your help to reach my goal in order to print this fantastic book. If I’m successful the book will be printed and ready in March 2024.
@rscottmurray a good one, my personal favorite was one he did like the first or second night back at this place called the stone in SF, back in 86 coming back from the dead
@cityplace10 , The "fat man" doesn't look fat here does he? Oh! I forgot! Fat man is the name certain people use to fondly express their affection for jerry! After all, it's one of the most distiguishable aspects of his musical ability,isn't it?
you know its good when he looks over his glasses!!
Jerry '89 in top form
Agreed. Merle Saunders said that he had never heard another musician with a more direct line from his heart to his instrument than Jerry Garcia.
Classic jerry no one plays like this rip jerry
"Rollin 'those bones till the foreman comes back" Rip it up Jerry :)

This version is just ridiculous - Jerry's heart and soul, meet Jerry's sleeve.

@cityplace10 Jerry repeatedly said throughout his entire career, that his most respected guitar player, along with BB King, was Eric Clapton.
