***Brian thanks for the fantastic lesson it is hard to find Jerry lessons where someone takes time to explain the theory and takes time to call out each note slowly. I hear the statement often that the psychedelic guitarists of the 60s just played very loud fuzzy blues, while their is a bit of truth to that, I think it is only a small portion of what made those guys great……ie 13th Floor Elevators Stacey Sutherland with his non intrusive snake like fills, Cippolina w/ his fluid use of tremolo, Robbie Krieger w/ his flamenco flourishes and his unique modal jazz stylings (I could keep going on and on sry). In his memoir, Home Before Daylight, Garcia’s longtime roadie Steve Parish recalled a night in Buffalo on Garcia’s first tour outside the band, where it was so cold that when Jerry stepped out on stage and strummed his ‘Alligator’ the face plate on the guitar broke and the guts popped out. The guitarists of that era that I enjoy incorporate a lot of modal scales giving them a liquid eastern blues flavor. Fresnojohn I am 29 and those are two of my favorite guitarists, in fact Cippolina is why I started learning guitar (I think you and I have discussed him on the blog). The late show saw fellow Cats Under The Stars tracks in the form of “Love In The Afternoon” and the encore “Rhapsody In Red.” The second set also featured Garcia staples such as “Mission In The Rain,” Irving Berlin’s “Russian Lullaby” and Hank Ballard’s “Tore Up Over You,” as well as a stirring cover of The Band’s “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.Hell yes!!!!!! I agree John Cippolina and/or Jorma Kaukonen lead lesson please, especially a “in the style of” Brian does so well. Set (incomplete): Gomorrah, Mystery Train Originally broadcast live on WNEW in New York City, the clip from the early show also includes the set closing cover of “Mystery Train” and the encore of the Cats Under The Stars title track. The early show footage begins with the penultimate song of the set, “Gomorrah,” which appeared on Garcia’s 1978 solo album Cats Under The Stars. Officially captured black and white video from both the early and late JGB shows have been preserved by the fantastic Music Vault. Patrick’s Day sets featured Garcia on guitar, Keith on keyboards, Donna Jean and Maria Muldaur on vocals, John Kahn on bass and Buzz Buchanan on drums. His voice and playing style really remind me of the self-titled 1969 Allman Brothers record. Happy Wednesday folks Brent Mydland was a great fit for the Grateful Dead, but I feel like he would have been absolutely perfect for the Allman Brothers Band. The Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey hosted early and late Jerry Garcia Band shows on March 17, 1978. Woke up to the best possible text from my friend this morning. In remembrance of Keith on the anniversary of his untimely passing, Sunday Cinema presents pro-shot video footage of a pair of classic JGB performances from 1978. In addition to their stints in the Dead, the Godchauxs were also at times part of the ever evolving lineup of the Jerry Garcia Band. The primary keyboardist for the Grateful Dead beginning in the fall of 1971, Godchaux, and later his vocalist wife Donna Jean, played in the band through their departure in 1979. Keith Godchaux was just a few days past his 32nd birthday when a car accident tragically ended his life 37 years ago today.
