Like a Road Leading Home: Celebrating Jerry Garcia
The Jerry Garcia Band returns to the scene of the crime — The Warfield in San Francisco — to recreate the iconic live double album simply titled Jerry Garcia Band. The original recordings were made during shows at The Warfield in 1990. At the time, Garcia was accompanied by JGB, with Melvin Seals, keyboards; John Kahn, bass; Dave Kemper, drums; and Jacklyn LaBranch and Gloria Jones, vocals.
The shows this weekend — Friday and Saturday, January 11th and 12th — will have Tom Hamilton (American Babies, JRAD) on guitar and vocals; Oteil Burbridge (Dead and Company) on bass; and Duane Trucks (Widespread Panic) on drums. And Seals, LaBranch, and Jones are back to reprise their work.
The program is called Like a Road Leading Home: Celebrating Jerry Garcia. The 15 tracks on the original album included a number of Garcia’s favorite influences — and only a single Garcia/Hunter composition: “Deal.” The diverse setlist includes songs by Robbie Robertson, Smokey Robinson, Peter Tosh, Lennon and McCartney, Allen Toussaint, and three by Bob Dylan.
