  1. I’m really surprised that nobody commented on this — yes, very traditional sounding vocals but Garcia’s spot on banjo pickin’ is something to behold…….. Matt- hope all is going well with your soon to be relocation……. P.S. – I noticed that you had some Dayid Bromberg stuff posted. Any way to re-up that someday? …….Best to you and yours……….. Tom

  2. I’ve found that while there are quite a few deadheads that come to my site they are generally a lot more quiet in terms of commenting than my Van and Dylan fans. No idea why, but Dead related stuff rarely gets the big comments.

    This is a cool show. Always fun to hear early Jerry doing bluegrass stuff.

    Leave me a comment on that Bromberg show so I’ll remember to upload it. My plan is that when I get fast internet again I’ll go back and reupload all requests. I’ll probably do it here and there and not in one big chunk but I’ll try to get to everything.

  3. Pretty sure bromberg is the 1st live concert I ever went to. Had to be mid to later 60’s, at the Belmont plateau, Belmont Park, Philly. Not sure if song goes back that far but I just love “lectric chair”…”judge, judge, big fine judge, send me to the “lectric chair..

    You are welcome. Always happy to provide you some new Jerry. I’m the same in terms of Jerry introducing me to all sorts of cool music.
