Pure Jerry: Lunt-Fontanne, NY 10/31/87 CD

sku: JER1121002


A cornerstone of Pure Jerry, a series of live Jerry Garcia vault releases, October 31, 1987 is a four-disc tour de force featuring the complete acoustic and electric sets from both the matinee and evening performances that took place on the final date of Garcia's historic 2-½ week Broadway run. Each of Garcia's engagements at the storied Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on 46th Street opened with a set from his acoustic band followed by the electric band's performance. The four CDs go in the order the sets were performed that long ago Halloween, alternating between acoustic and electric it all opens with the Garcia's only Broadway performance of "I'll Take A Melody." Other highlights include "Blue Yodel #9" and "Good Night Irene" plus extended and extraordinary jams on Dylan classics such as "When I Paint My Masterpiece featuring a peak-form Garcia vocal—"I Shall Be Released" and a truly soulful "Knocking On Heaven's Door." Fans will revel in spirited takes on "Run For The Roses," "Deal" and other JGB favorites, and all concerned will savor a fun-loving rip through Warren Zevon's "Werewolves Of London."
