Stormy Mondays: ’80s Jerry Band

There have been a bunch of ’80s Jerry Garcia Band shows circulating lately, both acoustic and electric. I’ve been digging into 1984, not a year I’m particularly well versed in as far as Garcia’s solo projects go, and keep coming back to the first set from 3/10 at Keystone.

It’s a four song affair, opening with Rhapsody in Red followed by a trio of tunes each reaching the 13 minute mark. Knockin’ is particularly nice, laced with reggae passages and lively guitar and organ, but the closing Dear Prudence > Tangled Up In Blue is a heart stopper – just fantastic.
