Description
Essentially a warm-up gig for the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary shows, this double CD documents three sets of music performed by the surviving Grateful Dead members and a crew of fellow travelers. Ostensibly a tribute to one Jerome Garcia (1942-1995), this May 2015 show in Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion also celebrates the greater jam-band community, both musicians and audience, that keep the leading-averse bandleader’s increasingly codified but mostly inquisitive spirit alive. Some tribute concerts and albums miss the mark, this one does not, incredible performances all throughout.
