Happy Birthday, Jerry Garcia

Jerry 71

Today marks Jerry Garcia’s 66th birthday and the beginning of our second annual Jerry “Week”.

Our first entry features an excellent soundboard recording of one of my favorite shows:

From the opening strains of “Morning Dew”, right on through to “Johnny B. Goode”, this show smokes and burns up with crazy, high energy. “The Eyes of the World” is a personal favorite. Also on the bill that day? The Allman Brothers.
