This show was recorded during the group’s 1991 fall tour, the Jerry Garcia Band’s first full fall tour since 1984. This bright, soulful and high energy set features the Jerry Garcia Band’s longest continuous lineup with Melvin Seals (keyboards), John Kahn (bass), David Kemper (drums), Gloria Jones (backing vox) and Jacklyn LaBranch (backing vox) alongside Garcia.
“That was the magic band…we all knew we had something special. That was the band.” – Melvin Seals
The band opens the set with a rousing version of the Garcia/Hunter fan favorite “Cats Under The Stars”, one of four songs by the seminal songwriting duo played that night. The show features Garcia’s signature renditions of classic covers including Bruce Cockburn’s “Waiting for A Miracle” and an electrifying version of Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up In Blue”. The evening featured a few songs that had only recently been added to the JGB repertoire, including a swinging version of Eric Clapton’s “Lay Down Sally”, a jovial rendition of Van Morrison’s “Bright Side of the Road” and the gorgeous 13-minute epic take on The Manhattan’s classic, “Shining Star”.
This is the American Beauty of JGB shows. If you’re a fan, it’s going to be your favorite one to play. If you’ve never heard them it’s going to get you hooked. A complete collection of all the songs you want them to play, played with perfection. This is the perfect show and the perfect setlist.
