- Recorded 12/4/10 at The Fillmore in San Francisco this special live album features some of Garcia’s oldest cohorts playing some of his most well known songs.
The benefit concert entitled “The Wheel – A Musical Celebration of Jerry Garcia” was a historic night that offered a unique musical experience where artists, many of whom shared a deep connection with Garcia that dated back to the early 1960s, had the opportunity to play Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter and traditional American roots songs together. This once-in-a-lifetime collaboration of artists featured Jesse McReynolds, Peter Rowan, and David Nelson, along with members of their respective bands which included Garrett McReynolds, Steve Thomas, Jody Stecher, Keith Little, Paul Knight, Barry Sless, Robin Sylvester, John Molo, Mookie Siegel, and special guest Matt Butler of The Everyone Orchestra.
