Jerry Garcia Band ex. Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia/CA,USA 1972

This is a live soundboard recording by the band formed by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and his friend Merle Sanders. This stereo soundboard recording has excellent sound quality with clear separation of instruments. The jam band’s skills are demonstrated with an instrumental version of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Paul Butterfield joins in on harp in the second half. In California around the 1970s, when flower culture was at its peak, sessions like this were probably held every day. Ah, the good old days.
