    Peep this killer NRPS show from NYE '72

    Favorite song - #13 All I Ever Wanted is the jam, IMO (Entire show is horribly mislabled)



    Whole show is smokin'

    You guys ever branch out to some Jazz is Dead?

    It's all instrumental. Jimmy Herring on guitar, Jeff Sipe on drums, T Lavitz on keys, and mostly Alphonso Johnson on bass. It's all really good.

    Haven't, but those dudes are all super talented.

    Herring is touring with John McLaughlin this fall - pretty stoked.

    It's pretty hard to track down. Might be on Spotify or something similar.

    China Cat by them is so good

    It's already been the meetup at the movies feature. Don't get me wrong, I adore the film and have seen it more times than I can remember, but I think they've got other stuff in the vault that should be released instead.

    Yeah, it was at least 5 or more years ago. Would love for them to do more with the 15th anniversary runs, and I know there's more film from Europe 72 though I don't believe they own it/have the license for it. There's some really great footage from Europe 81 as well, but same problem.

    Some of the best 70's GD footage I've seen. Also, you get to see Bill Graham ranting at people for an hour and a half. Surprisingly entertaining!

    Probably decide last minute for Dead and Co. Tuesday night isn't very appealing.

    Anyone have a high-quality, full-show recording of those Jerry Garcia Band shows that featured James Booker on the piano? I think they played on 1/9/76 and 1/10/76, and there may have been a few other shows.

    *Edit Jerry and Booker also played together on 1/7

    A snippet from Youtube:

    From the comment section on that video, discussing the genesis of the show:

    "Here is the real story: Booker was stranded in LA. Jerry heard this and suggested that they get him to SF to play some Jerry dates. Garcia was a big fan of his, and figured this would be a good way to help out a great musician who was down on his luck. Booker was brought to the bay area, but frankly had no idea who the hell Jerry was. Booker misunderstood that someone had booked some date for him and these rehearsals were for him to break in a local band to his act, not for him to learn his parts for some Jerry Garcia shows. When the rehearsals began Booker, thinking he was the band leader, took control. The entire tape is quite funny, Booker explaining to the band where he'll introduce everyone, where they can take a break, etc. Jerry, being the sensitive soul he was, didn't have the heart to tell Booker any different, and the shows went on that weekend at the Keystone clubs with Jerry basically backing Booker. Deadheads were confused, to say the least."

    It's not that bad man and legend valley is a cool place for a festival. Been to Jubilee several times and it's never disappointed.

    I might watch this tonight and get drunk at my house.

    Last night I stumbled on Festival Express and started it wayyyyyy too late to finish it.

    In the summer of 1970, a chartered train crossed Canada carrying some of the world's greatest rock bands. The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, The Band, Buddy Guy, and others lived (and partied) together for five days, stopping in major cities along the way to play live concerts.

    The footage of Jerry playing Cold Jordan on the train between stops is as good as it gets. Not sure I've ever seen the film in its entirety, but I've watched that clip more times than I can remember.

    I went last year. It was 25 for CRB, Grateful Grass with Keller, and some other good stuff I'm currently blanking on. Tons of food trucks lined up, a couple full bars, terrapin Hopsecutioner and Recreationale everywhere. One beer tent with some other choices. VIP definitely takes up a good portion of the best viewing areas, but for 25 I'm content to jam to the music and not care. We also smoked inside a few times, no one seemed to care as long as it wasn't super obvious I guess.

    As for hotels I don't know since I stayed with a friend, but there is a Candler Marta stop and it's not a far walk from there, which is what we did.
