JGB 1978 - Back To Back - #1: In the winter of 1978, Jerry Garcia went on tour in support of the album Cats Under The Stars, which he recorded in late 1977 and released in April 1978. Unlike Bob Weir, who made some unique choices in the session musicians that helped him record Heaven Help The Fool, Garcia stayed tried and true, working with long time bass player John Kahn, keyboardist Merl Saunders, and drummer Ron Tutt, as well as Grateful Dead members Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux. Garcia also recruited vocalist Maria Muldaur, know for her 1974 hit Midnight at The Oasis, to provide backing vocals for the disc. Kahn, The Godchaux's and Muldaur were all part of the tour band as well, with Buzz Buchanan on drums being the only member of the live ensemble not to have played on the album. Many folks consider this 1978 tour one of the finest by the Jerry Garcia Band, with both the March 18 and March 22 shows having been officially released. I also saw Garcia live for the first time on this tour, on March 17 at the Capitol Theater. This soundboard matrix recording captures Gracia near the end of the west coast leg on the tour, in San Rafael on February 18, 1978, 4 dozen years ago today. Download this one, then come back tomorrow for part 2 of this Back To Back set.
