I love mid 70's jerry band & the sound on this is incredible. -ak

The latest release to come from the Garcia vault is Let It Rock: Jerry Garcia Band 1975 a 2-CD set recorded November 17 and 18, 1975 at the Keystone Berkeley, featuring the very first version of the Jerry Garcia Band, with the magnificent British pianist Nicky Hopkins, drummer Ron Tutt and ol' reliable—bassist John Kahn. This marks the first-ever full release of material from the brief but fruitful Garcia-Hopkins union (August through December '75), and it shows the group at its best, rolling though a broad range of styles, from the churning opener, "Let It Rock," to Dead favorites like "Sugaree," "They Love Each Other" and a lively "Friend of the Devil," to boppin' R&B—"Tore Up Over You," "Roadrunner"—a 19-minute workout (!) on the Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together," and Nicky's exceptional instrumental track "Edward."

The sound on these discs is impeccable: They were mixed from 16-track master tapes by Jeffrey Norman, who has mixed and mastered countless Dead-related projects through the years. The clarity of the vocals and instruments is absolutely stunning—it's practically like being at the legendary Keystone Berkeley, except without that distinctive smell of beer and popcorn, and the clacking of the foosball table in the back room. The icing on this particular slice of psychedelic cake is a fine essay by David Gans which probes the Jerry-Nicky dynamic and offers some needed historical context. In short, this one is a must for Jerry freaks (and doesn't that include all of us?)! To order your copy today, click here.

Riding the rails like a regular

On escalators, stand on the right and walk on the left.

Don't stop at the foot of escalators to look around.

Don't sit on the steps.

Have your ticket out before reaching the turnstiles.

Try to sit closest to the window.

Put bulky bags on your lap or under a seat.

Step to the side when people are exiting.

Don't cut to the front of platform lines.

Respect other riders' space on crowded trains.

Don't stick your arm in closing doors.

Minimize the amount of time at ticket machines.

Use earphones to listen to music.

If you must chat on the phone, keep your voice down.

Funny that I just tweeted about the escalator rule. ::Shakes fist at people who stand in the left lane of the escalator::

Looks like the fest8 videos are coming.

Score one for the Governator!

Its too bad the mix is fuzzy or not so clear. It reminds me of my old Maxell 120's. As I walk down this awesome road of show after show after show on the archive, its hard not to rate all of these shows high. I guess I have become sort of a snob for quality, just like when nug hit the scene and schwag was not worth it anymore. I have changed my D.O.C. to fine soundboards. Killer material here, just needs some remixing effort. If you want to know what I mean or what that sounds like look up brother Charlie "Killer" Miller's uploads. Still another good day of work put in by my favorite band. Peace

Subject: GREAT SET
Wow i still cannot believe that music like this could even EXIST! Grateful dead is easily the most mind-blowing far-out /just plain awesome group ever to have formed. The Transition of all the spacy jams to STELLA BLUE thats epic proportions. It seems like all this life....was just a dream

Subject: Nice find!
Even though this is only a piece of the show, it's the essential piece, with a lot of excellent jamming, some of it unique. The almost ridiculously high energy of Truckin' gives way to a bass solo that seques beautifully into the The Other One. Here's where the true magic of 73 Dead comes into play. After the meltdown jam, but before the Mind Left Body jam, comes a jam with it's own thematic structure that I don't think I've ever heard before. The Dead in this period produced a lot of music that could have led to songs if they'd thought to go back over the tapes and send them to Hunter and/or Barlow to add words. The "Tighten Up" and MLB jams are good examples of this.

Despite some vocal sloppiness in Truckin, and the fact that it's only a partial show, I have to give it 5 stars for the excellent sound and the uniqueness and splendor of the jamming out of The Other One. BTW, no way is this an audience tape. The sound is perfect except for a short patch in the Mind Left Body jam.

MLB is the best of Baron von Toll Booth and The Chrome Nun and the Bob and Jerry show play it to the extreme. First night at the Knickerbocker is a great place to hear the rest of MLB Jam live.
This is 40 minutes of delightful, float upstream, outer space. Thank you for a real good time.

Subject: Nothin' like a good MLB
The Mind Left Body Jam is just intensely, tightly, painfully pretty, as it always is.

Subject: Absolutely killer '73 2nd set
I don't remember whether I've got this in another format, but I want to give a big thanks to the poster. This is an outrageously good, jam-packed second set from 1973. The boys could really lay a great show on a 'hinterlands' crowd outside of the normal touring corridors, and this is definitely one of those. The Denver crowd really got a gem that night.

Never heard it before, but it looks like some good Saturday morning listenin'.

Yes!

OK, this is hilarious.

"But at Friday night's debut of his still-unnamed solo-project/ensemble at the Echoplex, he moved like Busby Berkeley at the end of days -- jerky robot twitches, stoned head-rolls, teenage sock-hop bouncing. For a man who leads what's likely to be the last rock band considered the best and best-selling at the same time, there was a sense of a previously untapped emotion in the onstage performance: Joy. For the few hundred vigilant souls at the Echoplex who managed to sneak onto Ticketweb before it exploded Friday, the feeling was absolutely mutual."

Please come to SF!
