“There Is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert!”
Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders
Great American Music Hall
San Fransisco., CA
November 28, 1974
Soundboard Master Reel > PCM > DAT
Not your typical Jerry Band. Long jams, either bluesy jazz or jazzy blues…
A superb soundboard! Jerry’s voice is a tad background, but the instruments and the performance are up
front!
This concert was played just two weeks or so before the band added Ron Tutt on drums in place of Paul
Humphrey, and became “The Legion Of Mary”.
“Pure Jerry: Keystone Berkeley, September 1, 1974” is a three-CD live album by the Jerry Garcia and
