This release, the ninth in the Pure Jerry series, delivers a front row ticket to 4 unforgettable shows with the Jerry Garcia Band in 1978. The 2-disc compilation features amazing performances from Marin Vets, Santa Cruz Civic, Keystone Berkeley and Keystone Palo Alto.

 

 

Jerry is joined on the road with John Kahn on bass, Buzz Buchanan on drums, Keith Godchaux on piano, Donna Godchaux and Maria Muldaur on vocals. The tracklist stretches from Motown to McCartney, and it's loaded with magical moments like the 20-minute odyssey of "Lonesome And A Long Way Home," and a 30-minute "Don't Let Go." It's vintage Jerry at his soulful best!
