Jerry Garcia Band - 1976-01-28 - Berkeley, CA (SBD)

When the Grateful Dead played their "farewell show" on October 20, 1974 (which fortunately turned out to be just a 19 month break from touring and not a complete retirement), Deadheads wondered what they would be for live music.  Well the Jerry Garcia Band stepped into the void, playing 115 concerts in 1975 and then another 80 in 1976! This soundboard catches them at one of Jerry’s favorite venues, the Keystone in Berkeley, CA on January 28, 1976, 3 dozen years ago today. By the way, backing Garcia in addition to long time JGB bassist John Kahn and drummer Ron Tutt, were 2 other members of the Grateful Dead, Keith & Donna Jean Godchaux. And just about 5 months after this show, the Grateful Dead would resume touring, so Deadheads in attendance  didn't have long to wait to hear their beloved band once again.
