Bruce Hornsby 1997 - Double Play - #1:When Jerry Garcia passed away in 1995, the Grateful Dead's long strange 3 decade trip came to an unexpected end. The members of the band decided, at least temporarily, not to continue to play together out of respect for Jerry. They would change their minds in 1998 and reform as The Other Ones, and later play as the Dead and now as Further. In 1996 and 1997, however, they took a different approach to touring. The Further Festival made the rounds in the summer of those 2 years, a collection of bands with links to Dead, such as Bob Weir's Ratdog, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum, kindred spirits Hot Tuna and former GD keyboardist, Bruce Hornsby, just to name a few. This soundboard recording captures Hornsby's set at the Further Festival on July 12, 1997, 17 years ago today. Bruce demonstrates the free flowing improvisational flair which was becoming more and more a part of his shows in the late 1990's. He also pays tribute to his fallen comrade, Jerry, playing Across the River, a Hornsby tune which featured some blistering Garcia guitar work, and Black Muddy River, a Grateful Dead tune that found a regular place in Hornsby's set list for years to come.
