| 350 | 8/10/22 | Jerry Garcia's 80th Birthday Celebration. You'll hear Garcia with the Dead from 1970 - 1972 - 1974, plus bands Jerry played with Howard Wales, Merl Saunders & Nicky Hopkins during the early to mid 1970's. (*) Note: Most will recognize portions of "Truckin'" and pieces of "The Other One," though what we heard 50 years ago from the 3LP "Europe '72" was edited. The ending of "The Other One" with the Lesh bass solo was added later, and was recorded in a studio. What you'll hear on this Jerry 80th birthday celebration program is the complete unedited jam that is taken from the 70+ CD box-set; "The Complete Europe '72 Recordings." So you will now hear "The Other One" segueing into "El Paso" then back for a second reprise of "The Other One," that concludes with a sweet "Wharf Rat." This is the way it really happened, and it is stunning! By the way: This lengthy "Truckin', "The Other One," "El Paso," "The Other One," "Wharf Rat" jam was the very first show that the Dead played in Europe in 1972. They obviously wanted to make a point, and they did. Dig it! |
