Show Notes
GarciaLive Volume 21 showcases the Jerry Garcia Band’s February 13th, 1976 performance at the legendary Keystone in Berkeley, California. The nearly complete two-set performance was originally captured to 1/4" analog reels by Betty Cantor-Jackson. Following the arrival of Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux in early ’76, Garcia delighted in his group’s “harmonious” sound emphatically expressing “This is what I want to hear.” While we’re sadly missing the show-opening “How Sweet It Is,” the selections that followed are sublime testaments affirming Garcia’s sentiments. Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come” may encapsulate the dynamic range of the mid-70’s era JGB better than any other with its soulful harmonies and adventurous improvisation taking the song well beyond its form before bringing it all back around. The setlist boasts a few first known JGB performances: a breathtaking cover of the Rolling Stone’s “Moonlight Mile,” a steady grooving “After Midnight,” and a spirited “Talkin’ ’Bout You.” This collection however closes where we started, or rather should have started — borrowing a bouncy performance of “How Sweet It Is” and adding one other first known performance of “My Sisters and Brothers,” both from February 15th, ’76 at Sophie’s, for good measure.

"This is a truly beautiful show. I am new to this music, and I love the sound…how soulful and relaxed it feels to listen to. I wish all the “whoo’s” were absent, as it’s definitely distracting. "

"I agree and love all these reviews here. I echo the comment about the Moonlight Mile. This was and is one of my favorite tunes from Sticky Fingers and I've NEVER heard Jerry play this! This whole show has Jerry and the band on fire. 1976 was a very special period for Jerry in that the Dead were still mostly 'on sabbatical' and Jerry was doing his own solo work both in the studio and on the road. He was relaxed, energized, and playing with a gentle, lilting, and oh so soulful style. AND! the Travis Bean!!!"

"Have listened to all these Jerry releases and love them all. This one is extra special. The opening Catfish John is superb, and The Jimmy Cliff Harder They Come is pure magic...."

"I believe Jerry was showing Us his faith In LoVe and Trust the rest of us would do the same and LoVe one another and give ourselves to our sisters and brothers of all Human Kind. This Album is a DIAMOND ??! Who was John?, was So Amazing and enlightening about his soul. Blessings ??"
