Jeff’s Playlist: ‘Garcia Live Vol. 2’

GarciaLive Volume 2

One thing you’ll notice is that the 22-vol­ume Garcia Live series does not move in chrono­log­i­cal order. It skips all over Jerry’s 30-year musi­cal career. Volume 2 takes you to 1990, five years before Garcia’s death. This per­for­mance brings a wide vari­ety of music togeth­er and can be quite inter­est­ing. Give it a lis­ten, I think you’ll agree.

As always, music is from YouTube; album info is from Wikipedia.
