Jerry Garcia is like 8 people at once. Did the guy ever not play music? Is there any style he didn't venture into? What a legend. Albert King brought me here.
been feeling so damn lost .... like the road has gotten to be far too long and empty winds blow through me , as if my soul has run all out of song..... so I take a step backwards through time to another space and who else but Jerry should I find there reminding me of the joyful memories of yesterday and giving me back the hope of a tomorrow the same.... when the singing man is at his song it brings me right down to my knees . many thanks to the person who posted this beautiful memory and to all of you those who were there and those who should've been. and but mostly to Jerry and all who played along with him.
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.
yep! Been busy-Ten 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.

Beautiful.
Happy B- Day Jerry :)
Very nice version. Stirred up lots of nice memories, thank you.
wonderful... such a beautiful song... nice version. Blessings to uploader
Cool that you have posted more from this great show
Oh, Jer... it's been 14 years today.
Don LaVange almost 24 now. Glad we have all the recordings at least 🙏😌
Being There
I remember seeing so many shows there. Neil etc.
This should be the anthem of 2020... damn Corona
very nice...i'll always be partial to the "how sweet it is" version, though, and it's spot-on perfect guitar solos.
Agreed! 1990 Jerry was sublime
Wow, just stumbled across this. @Harry Angus you still around? We used to trade/BNP back in the day. Thanks for this!

Don Nix

Nah, they are feeling the fuck out of it, directly insync with Jerry. I love it. 🎼🎶
Me too!
