As the second set was getting ready to start, Jerry just walked from the Green room at the back of the club through the crowd, carrying his guitar, and hopped up on stage from the right side, audience perspective. After the set, Jerry just walked through the crowd again. I was sitting at a table on the floor with friends. I looked up and there was Jerry making his way past our table. I shook his hand and thanked him for all the great music over the years. My buddy asked him if he was going to get high, to which Jerry responded "you know it!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887749505709955649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-78091149776386648192019-06-20T18:16:28.522-07:002019-06-20T18:16:28.522-07:00Home, Home On The Road was comprised of tracks fro...Home, Home On The Road was comprised of tracks from multi track recordings done not only at those 2 Academy of Music shows in November '73, both early and late shows, but also shows at Colgate, Hartford, Princeton and Syracuse on that tour, and some tracks from their opening set at Kezar '73 were also in consideration. Garcia also added guitar parts to their last Columbia album Oh, What A Mighty Time in '75.rb1229https://www.blogger.com/profile/16192166985700733214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-66288390179348305842011-09-24T18:01:42.751-07:002011-09-24T18:01:42.751-07:00While we're on the topic, it's even less r...While we're on the topic, it's even less remarked that Garcia also produced a couple other albums in later years... <br /><br />He produced the Good Old Boys' bluegrass album Pistol Packin' Mama (on Round Records) in 1976, and even sang on one song. (This is somewhat within the New Riders orbit, as David Nelson was in the band.)<br /><br />To no one's surprise, Garcia also mixed Robert Hunter's Tales of the Great Rum Runners, and produced & arranged Tiger Rose (both also on Round Records).<br /><br />And in 1989, he coproduced the Dzintars Latvian Women's Choir album (Songs of Amber) with Mickey Hart. While this may seem to be more one of Mickey's world-music projects, Garcia had been keen on the women's choirs of eastern Europe since the '60s - he'd said that the music of Uncle John's Band was based on listening to the Bulgarian women's choir - so this was apparently a session he didn't want to miss!Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
