Jerry Garcia  with Merl Saunders - 1973-01-19 - Berkeley, CA (SBD)

From 1971 to 1975, Jerry Garcia, when not playing with the Grateful Dead Dead, often found himself collaborating with keyboardist Merle Saunders. In fact, the two released a live album together, entitled Live At The Keystone, featuring tracks from their concerts at that venue in Berkeley on July 10 and 11, 1973. This soundboard recording finds the duo at the same club, just 6 months earlier, on January 19, 1973, 39 years ago today. As always when Garcia and Saunders teamed up, unexpected song choices abounded, such as their covers of Dancin' in the Moonlight from the band King Harvest and Expresssway to Your Heart from The Soul Survivors, just to name two. By the way, we’ll have more from Garcia from The Keystone in Berkeley later this month, as it was clearly one of his favorite places to play live.
