Product Description |
|
For Jerry Garcia, 1975 was a seminal year that found him splitting time between recording Blues for Allah with the Dead, directing The Grateful Dead Movie, and forming the Jerry Garcia Band, his long-running side project. JGB's early days are the subject of a two-disc live collection of previously unreleased recordings from that momentous year. JERRY GARCIA COLLECTION, VOL. 2: LET IT ROCK, JERRY GARCIA BAND, NOVEMBER 17 & 18, 1975, KEYSTONE BERKELEY. |

I'm disappointed with with Mychildrensstore on this one. After years of successfully receiving Mychildrensstore products it did not happen this time. This item never arrived to my shipping address. How do I correct this oversight? |

Early JGB, shame it didn't last |
|
Excellent early JGB, with Nicky Hopkins on piano. It's a shame he didn't last longer. |

A New Dead Head's Take |
This is my second time through the CD. The set is on FIRE!!!
Best songs -- Edward the Mad Shirt Grinder and Pig's Boogie.
I absolutely love Tore up Over You, That's What Love Will Make You Do, Let's Spend the Night Together.
Most songs are jazzed influenced. A big thanks to Rhino Records for digging this one out of the vault. |

More Great Jerry with other Great Players, more memories of the best years of my life, living in the Bay Area and working part time for BGP. |

Garcia's Finest Hour(s) |
With so much posthumously released product---the Dead's catalogue, the Garcia/Grisman collaborations, remastered solo Garcia, and the JGB---it's hard to imagine that there's much left in the vaults to warrant euphoria from Jerry's devotees. But there is!
The newest release, Let It Rock, finds a skeletal version of the JGB. And this foursome, with session man extraordinaire, Nicky Hopkins, playing some gorgeous piano throughout---and even a few of his own compositions---plays with such synergy and vitality that it's remarkable they only lasted a mere handful of months. The playing is focused, bright, and inspired. The rhythm section is rock solid and Garcia's guitar tone has never sounded better: at times, it somewhat suggests the thick slabs of blues Roy Buchanan was known for when he was running circles around his peers in the early 70's.
Every tune is a winner here---from the lazy groove of "Let it Rock" to the bluesy riffing of "That's What Love Will Make You Do" to the delicious funk of "I'm a Road Runner" to the gentler tones of "I'll Take A Melody" and "Sugaree." Simply put: this is eclectic, melodic, controlled, and passionate guitar playing at its best.
