I pulled out this Jerry Garcia cd called simply "Garcia" and hadn't paid attention to it when I got it, but what a gem! I assumed it was a JGB but it's not....

it's just Jerry and Bill Kreutzmann; Bill just doing drums; Jerry laying down multiple tracks with lots of different guitars, keyboards, etc. and vocals. And all the songs are Hunter's.

Jerry plays a lot of pedal steel, one of his favorite instruments, seldom seen on stage.

One of the best versions of "Wheel" I've heard.

If you don't know this one, go find it! Came out in 1976 I think.

Been a favorite for a long time. It came out in 72. Original studio versions of Deal, Loser, Bird Song, Sugaree, To Lay Me Down and yes, the most lovely Wheel.

You know when you listen to something so much, you don't listen again. I'm going to have to revisit it

You really should orange. There is a good bit of it (5 songs) on the Rhino release The Very Best of Jerry Garcia that I just listened to a few days ago. I need to give the whole thing a spin tho and catch some Spider Gawd and Eep Hour. The first time I heard it was with a friend in high school driving in his car in a snow storm with a head full. The snow blowing over the hood and up the windshield was so amazing. We were on a country road in the middle of nowhere Illinois and probably going 10-12 mph. we were listening to it on 8 track by the way.
