I'm pretty sure Scott and I were the only ones taping that night from the table directly in front of Jerry. He was looking down at us holding the omnidirectional mic at forearms length making sure not to block anyone's view behind us. Recorded with a Sony TCD5 on Maxell XLII-S. I still have the master tapes in my vault along with so, so many others.
hey, someone said they were elbows on the stage in front of Garcia and were trying to avoid reaching out and tying Garcia's shoelaces together. and when the dude reached he said Garcia looked down and he looked up and Garcia launched into the rigby. dude said it was the most intense moment of his life to that point or something. it wasn't this night obviously. This is maybe the most perfect performance . there's lots f perfect performances but this is impeccable. this whole show is one of my most most favorites. I have the audio file and if it came from you I really am grateful to you. thanks
The greatest cover of JJ Cales song ever made,just awesome,i don't knew that Jerry made this until now, Always have thought there should be a long version of this, perfect
I always have think there should be make a long version of this JJ Cale song,Jerry made it .I discovered this for a while and come very often to listen, magic
@@TankWilliams__JrI completely agree especially in the 80s & 90s. As vaunted as 1977 Grateful Dead is I think ‘77 JGB is better. You could tell Jerry & Keith weren’t as high & were more with it & Donna’s singing was miles better. Part of that too could be that the JGB songs fit her singing style better than a lot of the Dead songs like Playing in the Band etc.
Check out JGB playing Dear Prudence. There’s a couple here on TH-cam that are spectacular. There’s one from June or July 1980 that is phenomenal. It was video recorded too. It’s better than the early spring versions. Those are on video as well.
Sacreligious to take any backhanded digs at the Warlocks.. but this gem from the JGB is the finest cover, I've ever heard.. by any musician, band, or orchestra. Serious soul sounds, funk, electronica, guitar virtuosity.. seamlessly blended!!!
Kills the guitar EVERY break - One of the greatest things Garcia EVER did IMHO. His band is poppin' and his guitar licks and sick monster tone are simply Re-Donk-U-Lous! Had this in college on a cassette- It was filler at the end of a Dead show tape. No info- AND back then NO interwebz or way to look sh*t up. It was lost/prolly stolen during a move. Forgot about it, then 15 years later, somebody said "Hey Fever, Ya gotta hear this .. .. ..Check out Jerry!" Getting that music back was one of the best days of my life.. .. .. Thanks for posting!
Someone left this tape in my VW Bus at a JGB show at the Wiltern Theater in 1987. Little did I know what a gift they had left behind. Hours upon hours of joyful listening over the years! And I still have the tape!!! Still inspiring all these years later.
I heard it for the first time while driving in 1992 on a Dead bootleg filler and just about went off the road during that transition while in a state of sheer disbelief coupled with complete ecstasy.
I've been coming back to hear this track for the last 10 years. Still one of my all time favs. Jerry is absolutely on fire. The transition to Eleanor Rigby is seamless. I'm forever grateful for the person who recorded this gem. Thanks!
@@jas2681Great to know that. I'm from India and I have a GD & JGB tribute band. Hopefully someday if I could make it to Thailand we can connect and have a Jam. NFA 🧸🧸🎶✌️❤️🌞🙏🐢🐢
I was born just hours before this show. It wasn’t until I was about 19 that I found a copy. March was always a rare month for shows, but pretty cool to have such an epic show on the day I was born!
@jimbailey1667 Hi. I took the time to look into this for you actually..on Wikipedia. I know that MAY not be the BEST source of information, but I didn't know where else to look online. I checked the references of Jerry Garcia Band members, and Jorma K is NOT listed in this line up. John Kahn is...however, and and about 4 or 5 other MAIN members, but that's it. On a side note, as many as THIRTY, YES, if you can believe that, thirty members, have played with the JGB over the years in rotating shifts. But Jorma K. is not listed in this line up. When I went to Google to look up this information, I specifically typed in the name of this song and this date, and JGB/Wikipedia came up. Hope this helps....
I have a master of this show. I taped it at one of the cocktail tables they had that butted up to the stage with cocktail service and all. So close you could smell Jerry's feet. All monitors... Awesome venue to see Garcia. so small. ..Doing the Keystone triangle every weekend to see Jer..
Someone went to tie his shoelaces together at this change to rigby but it was a different show I think--- did you see that? you guys are crazy cool you got that close to this. sounds like a very nice place to see shows as you describe it and this sound quality is so good.***grateful for this audio***
just what I needed after feeling bummed. jerry absolutely flying on jj cale. bless you mr. cale for some of the best music ever written. you will be missed but never forgotten. rip
That was an amazing version! Thanks for posting. Check out the 2/12/80 version from Lisner Auditorium in DC. I was at that show and I've listened to all the versions of After Midnight>Eleanor Rigby>After Midnight that were recorded and, IMHO, Lisner tops them all. It's so in the pocket from start to finish it's hard to comprehend. Hope you can find a copy.
This is just too good and it cain't be too good! Garcia's playing his licks so smooth, his voice, too. They're in a great zone. Wow, Garcia has the staccato goin', fingers fast, light, the mans' stretch is incredible. What a smooth lead in to Eleanor Rigby, the bass, the keyboards .....this is down. Groovin' to this like iz today, this just keeps getting better iz so hot. Forkin' outasite!!! I miss those days when they'd jam into another tune and go back to the original.....those days you could sit there and smoke a joint, lean back and listen, like it was going down in your living room.
This is, quite simply, one of the greatest things I've ever heard! Beyond the pale. The ripping fluidity of 70s Jerry with the earth shattering tone of Tiger.
TheGokitchen the only thing that compares to this is GD w/Carlos Santana at Calaveras County Fairgrounds Carlos jammed with them on Aiko Aiko. Jerry and Carlos traiding licks back and forth and all of a sudden Carlos starts to mimic Jerry's style and Jerry start's playing like Carlos. It was amazing because if you closed your eyes you couldnt tell who was who.
The first time I ran into this tune was some filler @ the end of a bootleg in 1991. No date or venue...just some filler!!! It took me days to recover from having my young mind sooooo blown. It took me decades to get back to this Stone theater version, which is the tops. It has a raw edge that wins the prize for this JGB rarity.
hear you bro, I was at the famous Englishtown N.J. raceway park sometime in 70's kid was born- fucking wall of sound! ( thank you, brother Owsley! great acid, great sound equipment! a true holy man & visionary!)
The best by far. Nothing better then early 80’s jgb. Total heat fire here. So much energy, so much passion, so much uhh wait isn’t the story of this going back to a cancellation of a dead show so jgb played on in the city the next night? I will forever cherish this as my top jams. Chills on top of chills here folks. Cheers to all!!! Whoever put a thumbs down on this needs an ass beat lol
No doubt this was the best JGB show ever. If uwere there ...I'm jealous...closest I got to a show of this magnitude was JGB on Broadway in NYC..no tix to be had at all..I snuck in from the hotel next door..jumped down the fire escape..I'm in 6th row...Jerrryyyyy
if I had to guess, this willl never cease to be my fav piece of music...or at the very least, within the top 3. Has been #1 since the first time i heard it 10 or so years ago. fucking incredible
I was there... When Jerry started playing Eleanor Rigby we couldn't believe it we looked at each other like is he playing Eleanor Rigby first he played it slow and then he ripped it really fast.... remember? unbelievable.. so thankful you guys taped this the Stone is an amazing place just like the two keystones Berkeley and Palo Alto.. were you there tonight Jerry played for the first time after coming back from the diabetic coma oh my God talking about an emotional evening at The Stone whoa we thought we lost him... Many Thanks Paul
Right down on Broadway North Beach SF --- Jerry went to the SFAI art school classes as a kid and also played at the Keystone many times just up Columbus on Vallejo St. --- always enjoyed seeing him so much in Berkeley at the Greek...long live the great GARCIA
I was stuck on Aerosmith back in those days. Didn't see the Dead until 85 and my first Jerry show was probably 87 or 88. Can probably count the number of times ive listened to Aerosmith since on one hand.
The Segway from After Midnight into Elenor Rigsby was flawless. This has got to be one of the most amazing jams I've heard from them in all their career. I wish i was there to experience it all especially the climax which I almost orgasmed. No I'm not a a deadhead....hells ya I am!
Somehow I can't quit laughing at the thought of Jerry cruising around San Francisco playing guitar while riding one of those standup scooters...Segway should come out with a psychedelic model, they'd sell a million! Happy, happy👻! And we all segue into a new way for his widow to get licensing money!
Despite his fame and repute, I think J. Garcia has been somehow underrated. His command of guitar is superb, far better of many rock guitarists who never dared explore jazz fusion...
Respect from San Rafael Marin county San Francisco California. Saw jgb All at the Warfield and once Ventura fairgrounds. I love Jerry Garcia band and Eleanor Rigby 🍄🌁🌁🍄🌍🍄🧬🍄⚡🍄🌱🍄🪘🪘🍄🪘🍄🔥🍄
This is Jerry, the definitive style melodic ripping taking chances and the band so tight holding it together right behind him, once in a while in life Magic is Born and walks among us !
Eleanor Rigby, all instrumental, after a few bars hinting at it, 9:40, clearly starts at 10:00 At 11:55, takes the melody up tempo a notch...just to see how it tastes. Then after 12:00 and especially post 12:45 begins to jam off more free form- beyond the dark liverpool skyline, into looser, Eleanor flavored yet uplifted cleansed by the ethers in the wide open sky- and then becoming SMOKIN HOT e.g. 14:20 ) Heads off in new direction after 15:05, back towards "After Midnight", which begins again at 15:23
John Potts if I wanted a time frame of the song and an explanation of what jerry was doing at certain times of the song I would ask you. Jerry was well just doing what jerry does the whole fucking song, and that is being jerry. The whole 19 mins. Guess what at 9:40 when I was listening to this I had to take a shit, and at 12:37 I wiped? Now I swore I was not gonna say this on here, but you made me do it with all your time breakdowns. Now let’s all just listen to jerry do his magical thing. Peace out sorry if I went off , I just wanted to listen to this without the time break down. God bless you
Wow! I was kind of disappointed that this was just a audio recording (incredible one) when I first started the video. Sure am glad I started listening to it. Just fantastic, the entire thing......thanks for sharing!
I had this tape (3rd generation)....wore it the f-ck out in constant rotation.......Thought I wouldn't ever hear this again.......then goggled last year and I am trippin' back 20 years.....y first show was '82'...Norfolk Scope......but this!!!!!!.....blew my mind when I got a copy.......This is the beast!!!!!.....beware married men w/ families!!!!!!.....If you have speakers this will spell your f-units end!!!!!!!............head phones only if you rent lest you get evicted for cranking this m-f'er into the sweet Spring night......ENJOY
Jerry does tear this up doesn't he! Wow! I should have celebrated my 23rd birthday at this show. I was in San Francisco but going to school and was not out attending shows, though I luckily got to go to four of the Warfield shows (ushering two, including opening night!) Wish I had been at the Stone for this one. Thanks for sharing.
Saw this incarnation of JGB earlier in the year at Stony Brook Univ. First time I heard After Midnight Eleanor Rigby....Nuts. My friend who let me crash with him came to the show. Never saw the Dead or Jerry. Halfway through the show, he looked at me and said "Man, this guy REALY LOVES playing guitar!" HAHAHAHHAHAHA! GREAT TIMES!
Wow, Very Very nice, just downloaded this show and all the other Feb / March shows. I need to hear every After Midnight /Eleanor Rigby /After Midnight . Thanks for posting
I love Garcia but depending on how JJ felt like playing "After Midnight" his versions were incendiary. Unfortunately JJ was notorious for disliking touring so there isn't a wealth of well recorded live shows to draw from. Some of the jams with Jerry and Dickey Betts have always been some of my favorites. Perhaps it's the love of bluegrass they shared but they always complemented each others playing so well not to have played together but a handful of times.
WHAT? That has brought about, "The Lurch Effect". You know, The Addams Family, on TV? Lurch would moan shaking his head, side to side while walking away. Are you crazy? 90% of the tunes were perfected, start to finish, on stage with the guys in The Grateful Dead. Garcia could play with different people that brought out different styles of music, like millions of different licks and styles. He could get different and new inspiration from playing with other musicians. He wz a composer, you know? Wrote all the music from Hunter 98% of it, if you want to look at it that way
Gotta love Jerry's rhythm riffing during the keyboard solo. It's like "knock it off Jerry I'm trying to dig this funky ass keyboard and you keep distracting me with that funky riffy rhythm. "
Of all Dead projects, my favorite band in their best era. Saw this line-up at Oswego State University (New York) on this tour.. it turned me on to the Dead.
I'm pretty sure Scott and I were the only ones taping that night from the table directly in front of Jerry. He was looking down at us holding the omnidirectional mic at forearms length making sure not to block anyone's view behind us. Recorded with a Sony TCD5 on Maxell XLII-S.

How fuckin' cool is that...Thanks, i'm grateful and j all at the same time
This is an incredible rendition of this song sequence. Better than Keystone. Tip ‘ O the hat to the taper. Well done sir.
Thank you for sharing, the joy of Jerry is needed more than ever during this time.
I LOVE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THIS SHIT
5 love you for saying it!
I LOVE YOU
Amen! 📖
Love is everything.
Love you too homie
44 years ago tonight. A masterpiece.
The greatest cover of JJ Cales song ever made,just awesome,i don't knew that Jerry made this until now, Always have thought there should be a long version of this, perfect
Check out Garcia Live Volume 20 for an 18 minute absolutely smoking version ✌
Here on TH-cam
This is the hottest 20 minutes of Jerry I’ve ever heard and I’ve listened to thousands of hours of his playing
Listened to another thousand hours and this is still the one
I always have think there should be make a long version of this JJ Cale song,Jerry made it .I discovered this for a while and come very often to listen, magic
JGB possesses some his best work. By a mile.

This is such a PROPER example of Jerry Garcia in his prime, when he pulls out that wah pedal in the middle of the solo, my face melts off.👂🤌👌👍

If ya ever can drop me a copy to my po box here in paradise ca.i lost all mine in our campfire a few yrs back
This is one of the classics. Heard this my freshman year if college 1989. I never recovered.
First time I’ve heard this version and I’m not really a JG or dead fan but this is unbelievable. So glad I came across this.
This might be the most smoking guitar work I have ever heard in my life. The more times I listen to it the more impressed I am.
listen to it again tonight! you wont be disappointed
Hooked
It's tug-worthy.
80 was quite a year for jerry
Pretty damn hot ain't it Wheatley?!!!
Heard this one when I was in college and was blown away, here we are 35 or so years later ☺️🤣🍿😻 wow now I FINALLY found it. Ty ty ty ty
It don't get much better than this.
Seriously.
Miss you much Jerry!
Gotta listen to this twice. The second time so the neighbors hear it too, oh man those keyboards!
Oh my god the segueway into Eleanor rigby!! Can’t believe I never heard this until now!
I was just saying that.. classic
I heard it for the first time while driving in 1992 on a Dead bootleg filler and just about went off the road during that transition while in a state of sheer disbelief coupled with complete ecstasy.
@@landonmccalmon7121 Yes, driving under the influence is a dangerous thing! Just ask Bear!
Heard this transition at KCNJ - I couldn't believe what just happened

One of Jerry's greatest Jams. Holy shit.
Noodler in Chief
That fucking tone tho
Without a doubt. & in my opinion one of the most psychedelic jams ever created. Pure ecstacy. Only thing that tops feb/mar 80 JGB is 72-late 74'. 🤙🏽✌🏽
This is his PEAK🔥
I have a master of this show. I taped it at one of the cocktail tables they had that butted up to the stage with cocktail service and all. So close you could smell Jerry's feet. All monitors... Awesome venue to see Garcia. so small. ..Doing the Keystone triangle every weekend to see Jer..
I saw 15 or so shows in the lait 70's and early 80's at the magnificent stone. The place and his band. Amazing
Someone went to tie his shoelaces together at this change to rigby but it was a different show I think--- did you see that? you guys are crazy cool you got that close to this. sounds like a very nice place to see shows as you describe it and this sound quality is so good.***grateful for this audio***
I hope you've passed that master on to Charlie Miller, who's remastering all those tapes. Yay for tapers! 🙏
What'd his feet smell like? 😉😂
HUGE Jerry fan here and this is the greatest sound I have ever heard him CREAT ! Man I miss him so much
Just plain wow. I miss you, Jerry!
+Ron hulka He's always still with us.

smoke em if you got em
My favorite performance of After Midnight!
The segue in and out of Eleanor is Jerry at his absolute best. What a guitar master! And shiny new Tiger sounds so gooooood!

What's so cool about a lot of these JAMS on TH-cam is that you're hearing your favorites, if your listening or watching, like they're brand new.
jerry is so crazy on this show, he’s just rippin it.
THAT FUCKING TONE
From Marathon Florida in 2023. Saw Jerry Garcia band last weekend with Little Feat and Tommy Emmanuel. Great to hear
RIP Jerry and JJ. Don't get much better than this.
the two chillest guitar players that ever lived.
Least we not forget Eric.
I am a old JJ Cale fan and I think this is incredible,what a rendition
Makes me cry for joy.
The best by far. Nothing better then early 80’s jgb. Total heat fire here. So much energy, so much passion, so much uhh wait isn’t the story of this going back to a cancellation of a dead show so jgb played on in the city the next night? I will forever cherish this as my top jams. Chills on top of chills here folks. Cheers to all!!!
Whoever put a thumbs down on this needs an ass beat lol
yeah exactly.. early 80s JGB is where it's at - the auds are mostly killer too because the venues were so small
@@michaelxz1305 auds from winter 80 are wonderful!
An ass beating? Forgive them, they know not what they do. Pity them…😎✌️
Jerry doing a John Coltrane interpretation of Eleanor Rigby. Jerry doing what Jerry does best!
happy birthday Jerry thank you for helping create such a magical entity

total Chill
if I had to guess, this willl never cease to be my fav piece of music...or at the very least, within the top 3. Has been #1 since the first time i heard it 10 or so years ago. fucking incredible
Jerry, the VERY best of the best....saw him MANY times, and at MANY places, like this. I'm SO lucky I was born when I was. I'm smiling :-)
One of the greatest jams of all time, thank you Jerry!
Remember this was recorded live in 1980 you know back when people played real music which took years of practice to be able to play those lines.
Nice share- been digging this show for a LONG time. Jerry just freaking shreds.
OMG ... fucking epic. The finish at the end brings tears to my eyes. RIP JJ Cale
I was at this show. Can hear my hoot in background. The louder they come....

Eleanor Rigby, all instrumental, after a few bars hinting at it, 9:40, clearly starts at 10:00
At 11:55, takes the melody up tempo a notch...just to see how it tastes.
Then after 12:00 and especially post 12:45 begins to jam off more free form- beyond the dark liverpool skyline, into looser, Eleanor flavored yet uplifted cleansed by the ethers in the wide open sky-
and then becoming SMOKIN HOT e.g. 14:20 )
Heads off in new direction after 15:05, back towards "After Midnight", which begins again at 15:23
John Potts if I wanted a time frame of the song and an explanation of what jerry was doing at certain times of the song I would ask you. Jerry was well just doing what jerry does the whole fucking song, and that is being jerry. The whole 19 mins. Guess what at 9:40 when I was listening to this I had to take a shit, and at 12:37 I wiped? Now I swore I was not gonna say this on here, but you made me do it with all your time breakdowns. Now let’s all just listen to jerry do his magical thing. Peace out sorry if I went off , I just wanted to listen to this without the time break down. God bless you

Ever consider a career in jamcasting?
Konig Corvus yes
Wow! I was kind of disappointed that this was just a audio recording (incredible one) when I first started the video. Sure am glad I started listening to it. Just fantastic, the entire thing......thanks for sharing!

lost it myself and found this! You just cannot say enough about that groove then Jer and I assume Merle get hot...DAMN!
MrJDP1974 Actually its Ozzie Ahlers! No shit?
yeah I wore this one out too. Really nice to hear it digital now.
Jerry does tear this up doesn't he! Wow! I should have celebrated my 23rd birthday at this show. I was in San Francisco but going to school and was not out attending shows, though I luckily got to go to four of the Warfield shows (ushering two, including opening night!) Wish I had been at the Stone for this one. Thanks for sharing.
3 CHORD DRUGGIES OWN YOU!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was born tail end of 1970. December 20th. I wasn't even 10 yet. Still always much love❤😊
Saw this incarnation of JGB earlier in the year at Stony Brook Univ. First time I heard After Midnight Eleanor Rigby....Nuts. My friend who let me crash with him came to the show. Never saw the Dead or Jerry. Halfway through the show, he looked at me and said "Man, this guy REALY LOVES playing guitar!" HAHAHAHHAHAHA! GREAT TIMES!
Wow, Very Very nice, just downloaded this show and all the other Feb / March shows. I need to hear every After Midnight /Eleanor Rigby /After Midnight . Thanks for posting
Jerry & his friends could play ANYTHING & make it sound at least as good as the original artist.
YES!
Best cover band ever
I love Garcia but depending on how JJ felt like playing "After Midnight" his versions were incendiary. Unfortunately JJ was notorious for disliking touring so there isn't a wealth of well recorded live shows to draw from. Some of the jams with Jerry and Dickey Betts have always been some of my favorites. Perhaps it's the love of bluegrass they shared but they always complemented each others playing so well not to have played together but a handful of times.
@@travissmith9451 I listen to this and think "Eric who?"
jerry is killing it. thanks for sharing
The best JGB show..thank you...shredding
My goodness but this is incredible! Peak Jerry at the height of his powers. Lucky folks to be there.
Ok Jerry might have been too talented😂😂😂 best bridge into and out of a song! Love it!❤❤❤
Peaches and Cream all around... Wow... rockin jam at a different level for sure
Straight fire, start to finish. I could listen to this for every day till the end of time itself!
Hola my friend
There's so much to enjoy about this song. You definitely feel every note. Great mix.
i´m 71old fan off jerry
WOW! Beautiful! Fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
JGB for the win. He was bored with the Dead during these years
WHAT? That has brought about, "The Lurch Effect". You know, The Addams Family, on TV? Lurch would moan shaking his head, side to side while walking away. Are you crazy? 90% of the tunes were perfected, start to finish, on stage with the guys in The Grateful Dead. Garcia could play with different people that brought out different styles of music, like millions of different licks and styles. He could get different and new inspiration from playing with other musicians. He wz a composer, you know? Wrote all the music from Hunter 98% of it, if you want to look at it that way
great rendition
Words can't describe this one
Gotta love Jerry's rhythm riffing during the keyboard solo. It's like "knock it off Jerry I'm trying to dig this funky ass keyboard and you keep distracting me with that funky riffy rhythm. "
Simply incredible
Of all Dead projects, my favorite band in their best era. Saw this line-up at Oswego State University (New York) on this tour.. it turned me on to the Dead.
This version is unreal this show is mind-blowing Jerry Garcia is God
GUITAR STAMINA COMMAND performance!
Reminds me back in college.. mid 90's. Saw him play too.. many times... go Buffs
Favorite
Jerry was a true master of the guitar and this version of after Midnight is fantastic
Super cool. Thanks.
