The Jerry Garcia Band – Jerry Garcia Band (4xLP, 30th Anniversary Standard Edition)

Available on vinyl for the first time in celebration of Jerry Garcia Band's 30th anniversary, with over two hours of music on five standard LPs and new liner note essays by Bill Walton and Steven Hyden!

Jerry Garcia Band features the band on the stage that Garcia graced more than any other - the Warfield Theatre. Although several studio recordings have been made since the band's inception in 1975, Jerry Garcia Band is the only live document Garcia produced during his lifetime.

The selection is a true tour de force, revealing the depth of his songbook and his exquisite skills as a performer and bandleader. The collection includes what is arguably the definitive interpretation of Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue" as well as a handful of the Bard's other classics.

Smokey's "The Way You Do The Things You Do" is another highlight whose soft and sweet vocals will bring a smile to anyone's face. "Don't Let Go" showcases the band's considerable chemistry, allowing them to paint so freely outside the lines.

As Hyden notes in the album's new liner notes, "the result on Jerry Garcia Band is an album that feels like a church in the best sense, a sacred sanctuary that a community seeks out when it needs to be reminded of its better and purer self.... a work of incredible warmth and wisdom that can reboot and refresh even the weakest of hearts."
