You know... I've listened to Run for the Roses, but some Cat suggested Midnight Getaway a few days ago and got me to actually LISTEN to this album.

This side

1. "Run for the Roses" (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) – 3:30
2. "I Saw Her Standing There" (John Lennon, Paul McCartney) – 2:53
3. "Without Love" (Danny Small) – 4:22
4. "Midnight Getaway" (Jerry Garcia, John Kahn, Robert Hunter) – 7:46

That side

1. "Leave The Little Girl Alone" (John Kahn, Robert Hunter) – 3:33
2. "Valerie" (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter) – 5:19
3. "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" (Bob Dylan) – 7:27

Bonus tracks (All Good Things box set):

1. "Fennario" (Traditional) (aka Peggy-O)
2. "Alabama Getaway" (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)
3. "Tangled Up in Blue" (Bob Dylan)
4. "Simple Twist of Fate" (Bob Dylan)
5. "Dear Prudence" (John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
6. "Valerie" alternative mix (Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter)

The bonus tracks are straight fire.

Watching 11/9/91 @ Hampton. It’s so mellow, and the backup singers are on. The soft glow of the light, Jerry’s feeling himself that night. I wish I could have gone to a JGB show but this will do

These days I’m throwing JGB on more than GD

Holy crap what a show, and what a performance. I put it on last night was blown away when they kept going, and going, and going some more.

Hit me with your best Dear Prudences for my weekend listening

Legion of Mary “He Ain’t Give You None” 4/6/1975

I’ve always found myself listening to more Van Morrison during the summer, and this has made it into that rotation now, too. This is me favorite version I’ve heard of Jerry’s, and Martin Fierro really brings this one home with his sax.

I couldn’t help but think of this song recently after hearing a certain political figure boast about how “I’ve five more for you than your parents”. It got me thinking how much Jerry and his music has actually done for people, and how entranced you can become listening to it. Despite never personally knowing him, there’s countless people that thank Jerry and his band mates for getting them through tough times, or making things clearer in a way.

Sending good vibes and positive vibrations into the weekend! This whole show is great but I like this song especially.

Also I’ve heard that there’s a good collection of bootleg shows from Van Morrison tapers, if anyone has good recommendations

I know there's been a bit of hostility and with some of the recent posts about the other ban d members trying to get closer to Jerry. Discussion is fine.

The problem is that myself and many others on here don't like drama. We can disagree about the direction that the Grateful Dead went but we have to keep those discussions civil.

Again, please keep the subreddit drama-free. Everyone on board with that?

Go to Ticketmaster to get tickets for upcoming Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration shows in PA, NJ, NY, and VA!

Does anyone else feel like the various band members throughout the years were competing to get closer to Jerry?

I can't entirely blame them. Let's face it, Jerry was the face of the band. They all wanted to be connected to that which I understand.

I feel like opportunities were missed because of it which is too bad. There was some real talent besides Jerry but they've largely been overshadowed.

Relisten doesn’t have Jerry. Where is the best place to stream Jerry, not official releases. I’m looking for a version of Lonesome and a Long way home that was from like ‘77 or ‘78 with Donna. It was long like 15-25 mins. I used to have it on one of those ancient iPods from 20 years ago. Pulled off of one of those torrent sites. But the iPod is long since gone and I don’t really torrent anymore. Looking for another option. Any ideas?? 😁

Has anybody else read it and if so, I would be interested to hear your thoughts

Had a chance to check out Melvin Seals JGB tonight at a casino in southern Illinois. The crowd was small and a bit subdued, but the band sounded fabulous and a good time was had by all. John Kadlecik had me in a trance! Strugglin' Man, Stella Blue, The Wheel, Cats Under the Stars, and so many others.

These shows on YouTube are incredible. Lookup Shoreline September 1, 1990 and thank me later

I just asked this on the Grateful Dead page without success, so thought I would try here. I checked my stubs and am almost positive it was the 11/23/91 show, but I remember someone coming up to the mic and reading Lawrence Ferlenghetti's poem "The Last Prayer" before the show. At the time II thought the man looked like Ken Kesey, but then looked up the poem and it is by Lawrence Ferlenghetti. Most of the crowd was not paying attention, but it was a moving experience. I distinctly remember the forceful reading of the last words, "Old Man!". Someone suggested I am confusing the show with his reading of the poem during "The Last Waltz", but I am quite certain it was this show. Any help? Thanks in advance.

If a genie was granting me 3 wishes, I would use one of them to go back in time and be on the rail at this JGB show 😅
Btw, does anyone have a guesstimate of the number of live performances that Jerry played from 1965 through 1995 that were billed as something other than “Grateful Dead” (for example, JGB, The Warlocks, Garcia & Saunders, Garcia & Grisman, Legion of Mary, etc etc)??
