Re: Grateful Dead tunes
Speaking of Jerry Garcia and the mandolin, here is the one actually playing the other! This is from a boxed set called "Before The Dead." It includes him playing in several configurations of musicians. This is a performance from May 1963 by a duo with his wife Sara, playing a song that would become a standard in sets by the Jerry Garcia Band. This is the first and only time I've heard him play mandolin, and he does a very nice job with it.
There is a wealth of information about the collection in this smart review in Downbeat.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
