Jerry Garcia Band - 1977-12-06 - Greenvale, NY (SBD)

Jerry Garcia - 1977 - #1: As I’ve written in countless posts on this blog, 1977 was a magical year for the Grateful Dead. The spring tour, especially the 3 night runs on May 7,8 and 9, the middle night being the often proclaimed best Dead show ever at Barton Hall, and on June 7, 8 and 9 at Winterland (notice the symmetry of the dates!) is legendary among Dead Heads. The fall tour, which doesn’t get quite the same amount of attention, was almost as good. Numerous shows from both Spring and Fall have been officially released. Jerry Garcia, the band’s lead guitarist, vocalist and spiritual soul, clearly must have felt the magic of 1977, because he simply wouldn’t stop playing! For example, when the Dead had to cancel their summer tour due to Mickey Hart’s accident, the Jerry Garcia Band stepped in to fill the dates. Then, the minute the fall tour ended on November 6, the JGB hit the road for a series of shows that would lead into the Dead’s return to the stage at Winterland for a 4 night run to close the year, including their annual New Year’s Eve bash. This soundboard recording catches Jerry on December 6, 1977, 42 years ago today, at  at CW Post College. The playing is superb, as is the sound quality of the recording, and the set list offered fans in attendance a sneak preview of Garcia’s soon to be released album, Cats Under The Stars, as he played Reuben & Cherise from that disc.  Download this one, then come back on December 8, 11 and 23 for parts 2 to 4 of this Same Tour Different Entry set.
