Jerry Garcia (Old & In The Way) - 1973-04-16 - San Francisco, CA (SBD)

1970s - #6: In early 1973, Jerry Garcia plunged into a new side-project, a bluegrass group called Old and in the Way, The band featured Garcia on banjo and vocals, John Kahn on string bass, David Grisman on mandolin and vocals, and guitarist/singer Peter Rowan. Fiddler Richard Greene joined in April of 1973, but juggling his own band in LA, dropped out after a couple of months and was replaced first by John Hartford, and eventually by the legendary Vassar Clements. The band broke up due to fighting between Rowan and Grisman, but plans were in place for a comeback before Jerry’s tragic death in 1995. Old & In The Way would play 47 shows between January 1973 and April 1974.  This soundboard recording captures them in San Francisco on April 16 1973, a half century ago today!
