Hey, Happy New Year's to you and yours! 2021 is going to be awesome. Please consider reviewing Miyavi. I think I like him as much if not more than Stevie Ray Vaughn. He plays all styles of music all uniquely. I just watched him play the superbowl and then go straight to the Tokyo Dome. But, d*mn the man can rock and funk. Actually, it is mindblowing. He created a style of playing that is truly his. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4q7fWOFdpd-b68

Many casual fans don’t realize that in addition to his virtually nonstop touring with the Dead, Jerry was ALWAYS playing and was involved with many side projects. From his own JGB, to the New Riders of the Purple Sage, to Old & In The Way, to Legion of Mary, to many guest studio and live performances. As ubiquitous as the Dead were, even they couldn’t keep up with Jerry’s seemingly insatiable hunger to play all the time.

Brother Lover of Music, My name is Michael T. I have collected various genre of music on 78 rpm, 45 rpm and 33 1//3 rpm vynals, cassette tapes, as well as CDs. Having lived nearly 70 years, I have been exposed to almost every type of music recorded. Also, I have the desire to do so because it makes me feel good. Since I have been observing your reviews (via KZbin and online) you have rekindled so many memories that music has embedded in my soul. I throughly enjoy your comments. Comments that have enlightened me, saddened me with the pleasantry of memories, lifted my spirits, and excited my soul - lifting it like a hawk floating on an airstream. I kid you not!! At your age the innocence and excitement you display when listening to a variety of music, generally unknown to you, is very refreshing. And, I am pleased to say I feel the innocence and excitement right along with you. To say music is the universal language is an understatement, it is the language that surpasses the Visable Universe. Enough said. Thank you, Jamel/ Jamal and may you be blessed and stay blessed. Your Brother in Music, Michael T

So glad you are checking out Jerry Garcia Band, it's church to me and many others. One of the shining jewels of their repertoire in my opinion is "I'll Take A Melody", a cover of Allen Toussaint's masterpiece. Allen is one of New Orleans' most beloved R&B, soul, jazz, funk, gospel if you weren't already aware, and has been described as "one of popular music's greatest backroom figures". Truly incredible and moving piece of work that instills so much simultaneous sadness and power, but gives so much hope and beauty. Allen was an accomplished pianist and composer and both his and Jerry's band's renditions have the most BEAUTIFUL piano, combined with Jerry's obvious guitar genius -- when I showed a longtime dedicated Deadhead the video, he said Jerry's guitar lines and melodies were among the most unique he had ever heard him play, and that's coming from a true fanatic. Give it a shot if you'd like brother. Thank you for all you do for the music. So much love. Listening to this again with you hit me in a very powerful way. Loved your enthusiasm, music is wonderful and an amazing thing to be able to share with another like that - what a gift. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anPPkHWafKycmbs - James

Try looking into the Garcia/Saunders album Live at Keystone from 1973. The songs Like A Road, My Funny Valentine and Someday Baby are real standouts.

yes, yes, yes, 100% agree!!! Please check out an 80's version when you do as well. You absolutely need to experience Melvin! I'll throw a Lucky Old Sun in there, too. If Melvin's Hammond solo doesn't touch your soul......... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYm1gqB5g6yseJo

I got into Jerry before I got into the Dead. I waited until my 40's to really begin listening to him/them because I knew that would be it. I have XM for one reason, Grateful Dead Channel, I never turn it off. Jerry seemed happiest doing his solo stuff and it shines through. Remember, always play it loudly.

There were two women singing. The one with the long, straight hair was Donna Jean Godchaux, who was a member of the Dead for most of the '70s. The one with the thick curly hair was Maria Muldaur, who had a solo hit (reached #6) with "Midnight at the Oasis", and was a member of the JGB for a while as well.

I once heard Joan Osborne talk about Jerry's singing voice. He doesn't have the greatest voice but the songs just seem to play themselves through him. That Mission in the Rain just plays itself throw him with all the feeling its meant to have... Man is that good...
