The Jerry Garcia Band made use of their home turf in 1990, performing throughout the Bay Area an astounding 19 times in that year, including multiple runs at their adopted home of the Warfield Theatre. Jerry and the band, including longtime cohort John Kahn on bass, Melvin Seals on organ and David Kemper on drums, as well as “The Girls,” Jaclyn LaBranch and Gloria Jones on backing vocals, stretched out in the summer sun on this early August afternoon show. Highlights, beside the obvious fireworks created on stage with Fleck, include a lilting “Stop That Train” and a bouncy “My Sisters and Brothers.” But on this day, Garcia clearly had the Bard on his mind, lending his deft touch and heart wrenching vocals to Dylan chestnuts “Forever Young” and “Tears of Rage” before sending the crowd home with a bounce in their step after a mesmerizing “Tangled Up in Blue” show closer. Once again, this performance cements Dylan’s own sentiments that nobody had a touch with his songs quite like Garcia.

We’ve dug into the Garcia Vault and selected the Jerry Garcia Band’s first public performance at San Francisco’s Warfield Theatre on June 26th, 1981. Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh replaces Garcia Band mainstay John Kahn on bass for the evening. Melvin Seals (organ), Jimmy Warren (electric piano, clavinet), Daoud Shaw (drums), Essra Mohawk (vocals) and Liz Stires (vocals) round out the evening’s line-up. The Garcia Vault contains only the evening’s second set, but we found the band’s performance too compelling to let an incomplete show keep an otherwise stellar recording from release. The five song set features “Mission in the Rain,” “Harder They Come,” “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” and “Dear Prudence” segueing directly into the show closing “Midnight Moonlight.”

This first digital-only release has been mastered for release by longtime Garcia collaborator Joe Gastwirt and delivered in your choice of formats: 320kbps MP3 or lossless FLAC.

This 100% cotton t-shirt will be available for purchase in the Official Garcia Store beginning today for ONE WEEK only. It may be April Fools, but we’re not pulling any pranks. Don’t miss out.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Today marks the official release of the first volume from the newly-launched GarciaLive series. GarciaLive Volume One features the Jerry Garcia Band’s early and late show performances from the historic Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ on March 1st, 1980. The band, which included Garcia on guitar and vocals, partner in crime John Kahn on bass, Ozzie Ahlers on keys and Johnny d’Fonseca on drums at the time, was wrapping up a three-week East Coast run with the performances on this evening. Highlights to our ears include the opening “Sugaree” [listen], a take on the Jimmie Rodgers penned rave-up, “That’s All Right,” an early show encore of “Deal” and a rollicking version of “That’s What Love Will Make You Do” show Jerry and the band loose and fluid at the end of the tour.

These recordings have been meticulously mixed and mastered from the 24-track recordings originally captured for WNEW’s broadcast of the early show. Listen comfortably with our promise that every effort was made to produce this performance for release in a manner which honors the spirit of its creation.

GarciaLive Volume One: March 1st, 1980 Capitol Theatre is available now in the Official Garcia Store, iTunes, Amazon, independent record stores and other music stores. A limited number of t-shirt and poster bundles are still available and will remain in the Garcia Store until sold out.
