Jerry Garcia (Legion Of Mary) - 1975-04-04 - Brooklyn, NY (SBD)

Legion Of Mary 1975 - Same Tour, Different Show Double Play - #1: During the Grateful Dead’s 18 month hiatus from October 1974 to June 1976, Jerry Garcia engaged in a host of side projects. Those ranged from editing the Grateful Dead movie to recording new material to forming a new band known as Legion of Mary. In addition to Garcia, Legion of Mary (LOM) included Merl Saunders on keyboard, Martin Fierro on sax, and Ron Tutt on drums. While the band’s tenure was short, Garcia used it to continue to explore and experiment with a host of musical styles. In their live shows, the band melded together an eclectic mix blues, funk, reggae, rock, psychedalia, and especially jazz. This set from Brooklyn on April 4, 1975, 4 dozen years ago today, is a perfect example of the breath and range of music covered by LOM. The band played Motown tunes such as Boogie On Reggae Women and I’m A Road Runner, jazz numbers such as Favela, and reggae classics such as The Harder They Come. Perhaps almost as interesting is that the 2 nights do not include Grateful Dead tune. Download this soundboard recording, then come back on April 12 for the 2nd half of this Same Tour, Different Show set.
