Jerry's Back, and We've Got Him!
New Garcia-Kahn Live Disc
It’s been a long, long time since there’s been a Jerry Garcia music release, but the good news is that a new day is dawning, the pipeline to the Garcia vault is open again, and we're looking forward to offering you quality JG tunes as often as we can! Dead.net, in conjunction with the recently formed Garcia Family LLC (mainly Jerry’s daughters), are pleased to announce their first independent release with a new installment of the popular PURE JERRY series, Marin Vet's, 2/28/86. For those of you keeping score, this one is the eighth, and it marks the first official full release of acoustic music from Garcia and John Kahn.
The setting is the wonderful 2,000-seat Marin Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael, the last of 12 acoustic shows John and Jerry played that winter. It’d been a solid tour, with sold-out concerts in a number of cool East Coast venues. But this was a hometown show—literally—so the air was both relaxed and festive. The twelve songs collected here on a single disc are the complete two-set show from that night, nearly 70 minutes of music; a nice blend of old folk tunes, a Dylan number and Hunter-Garcia classics. Particularly noteworthy in that last category are the epic “Bird Song” and rockin’ “Run for the Roses.” Soundboard copies of this show have not been in circulation before.

Jerry's health...
I actually think of early '86 as a relatively healthy time for him. He was weaning himself off of substances and in a really good mood onstage (especially with the Dead in the first half of the year), and the health issues that would lead to his near-death in the summer hadn't manifested themselves yet...
I think he sounds alert, focused and downright spunky here, especially compared to the '84 G&K shows...
IT'S BEEN TO LONG !!!!
It's been to long since a Jerry cd has been put out. I'm really,really,really ''GLAD'' to see this. Thank You so much !! How about 8/7/90 @ the WARFIELD for the next PURE JERRY... ''' PLEEEEASE..''' ''IF all possible''.Thanks again,and PEACE to ALL!!!
Jerr's Web-Site
Does anybody know why Jerry's website has been offline for months? Has D. Coons struck again?......Don't mean to sound too negative but these days there's always some type of legal bullshit at the center of everything she does.
By the way, really happy about this release. It is really very long overdue. Fans of the most recorded guitarist in history shouldn't have to wait so long for new material.
I guess it doesn't really matter...anyway...
Will have to take your word for it.
JacobsBest: I placed my order fir the whole set on March 23rd. Today is April 20th and my discs have not shipped. It took 3 weeks before I got the explanation from customer service that one of the shows was on backorder and I would be notified when they ship. I'm a sad panda....

Thank-you for making these shows available. Mr. Garcia's guitar playing is the sweetest I'll hear in this lifetime. My first purchase would have to be here (LLC) and of course Buffalo 4/21/09. Grate tour!
beautiful.......
This is a beautiful disc. Just lovely to have on if you're in an acoustic mood, a Jerry mood, a melancholy mood, or a mirthful one.
Bird Song and Goodnight Irene are worth the price of the disc. And I think this Little Sadie has the most verses of any I've heard! One of my favorites, as well.
Thanks for this release! Jerry's voice sounds great, too.
Also glad because......
I'm glad, too, because this may help dispel the myth that this period was a musical throwaway. It certainly wasn't, as anyone who caught the Spring tour can attest. No, Jerry didn't look well (the lazy eye and all).....but he was still doing some great playing (and singing) and many of his solos were longer in '86 then they would be for the rest of the 80's as the band tightened things up.
I wistfully recall trying to catch Jerry & Kahn at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Dec 85.....sadly, we never got out of the car and only once passed by the venue as we were trapped in that hellacious treadmill of traffic that is Washington, D.C. There was absolutely nowhere to even pull over to look at a map, it was just keep moving around the circles........finally we got sling-shotted out of the maelstrom with little chance of going back. We didn't have tickets, anyway, but at that time that wasn't so much a problem. I later heard they played Ripple from my friend Anne.
I heard that stuff recently,
I heard that stuff recently, Jerry Garcia is hands down awesome!
