As you may or may not know, WSLR has been conducting its Fall ‘16
Membership Drive since this past Thursday, ending late Wednesday evening.
If you are a “returning member”, the Giving Challenge will match dollar for
dollar pledges of from $25-$100, thus doubling your pledge; if you are a
unique “new member”, the Challenge will match two for one, thus tripling
your pledge! The only caveat is that you cannot accept a “thank you” gift.
Should you wish a gift, this event only we will have WSLR t-shirts, caps or
water bottles for a pledge of $40 each, and either a single annual pass for $250
or a pair for $500(passes are good for almost every WSLR benefit, with very
few exceptions; one only need call in advance and make your
reservation((s))…).
And please: as you know, I give away a complete copy of each Monday’s
broadcast(because, as Jerry said, “…once we play the music, it’s yours…”), so
if you have been fortunate to win one, please call in your pledge for
“Yesterday’s Dead Today”!
For Monday, I had broadcast much of this evening back on Sept. 24, 2012, and
since there won’t be a full evening of music tonight, and also since I had not
broadcast anything from Disc 3(“The Jerry Garcia Tribute Band”*…scroll
down for band members), we can easily feature the first disc tonight.
This is one of the finest evenings of music I have ever heard, through one of
the finest audience recordings I have ever heard.

From nugs.net:
On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Grateful Dead Ground Zero, also known
as Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, friends came together for a reckoning of the
faithful to celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia. After fine but brief sets by
David Nelson, a pared down String Cheese Incident, an updated Jerry Garcia
Band (with special guest Merl Saunders), and Ratdog, the sun set on the
blissful crowd and the main event began.
Old friend Hamza El Din led a procession of drummers onto the hallowed
Greek stage as the band trickled on for a Help on The Way opener, with Trey
taking lead guitar and vocals. From there, the Jerry Spot was a revolving door
of Trey, Kang, Warren, Jimmy, Karan, often with several of them at one time.
Phil Zone duties were masterfully assumed by Robin Sylvester, and Jay Lane
was in the drum seat until “Scarlet Begonias” when the Rhythm Devils
ascended the throne. The shining star of the evening was Mr. Hornsby,
bringing tears to everyone’s eyes during “Loser” and especially the final
refrains of “Standing on the Moon.”
Almost greater than the thrill of the music was the vibe at The Greek. It was
“Strangers Stopping Strangers” with smiles and nods to old tour friends, taper
buddies, long lost family members, and the knowing-grin that we were all a
part of something very special.
