Jerry Garcia Band
Theatre 1839
San Francisco, CA
7/29-30/77

Theatre 1839 marks the debut of Pure Jerry, a series of live Jerry Garcia vault releases. The three-disc set is remastered from the original soundboard recordings and comprises the best of two performances by the Jerry Garcia Band at San Francisco’s Theatre 1839 on July 29 and 30, 1977. Among the highlights are two previously unreleased songs: Paul McCartney’s “Let Me Roll It,” with an outstanding instrumental passage and Jerry and Donna Godchaux singing in tandem; and a rendition of Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up” with Donna singing lead and sublime solos from Jerry and Keith Godchaux on piano. Other stand-outs include a rare and beautiful cover of Irving Berlin’s “Russian Lullaby,” the Motown chestnut “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” an energetic take on Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come” and a 27-minute jam on “Don’t Let Go.” An early version of “Gomorrah” presages the track that would appear the following year on the Jerry Garcia Band LP Cats Under The Stars.
