A version of the band, rechristened JGB, continued touring after Garcia's death in 1995. The band's lineup shifted quite a bit over the years, though bassist John Kahn and keyboard player Melvin Seals were the most regular sidemen in the band. But Garcia's responsibility as the figurehead of a movement would take its toll. Drugs were plentiful music was powerful a youth culture was flexing its muscles and making itself heard throughout the country. Regular live performances followed during the '80s and '90s, plus the live album Jerry Garcia Band, recorded in 1990. Jerry Garcia and The Dead arose out of San Francisco's music scene in the mid-1960s. His most widely known project was the Jerry Garcia Band, which formed in 1975 and produced one studio album, 1978's Cats Under the Stars. A masterly guitarist and songwriter, and a highly underrated vocalist, Garcia was a true music lover, involving himself in numerous non-Dead projects over the years. For many, he was the embodiment of the freewheeling artistic spirit of the 1960s.
Though he was chiefly known as the leader of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia was much more than that. Palmer- In the GD Hour this week there is a excellent Garcia/Grisman Russian Lullaby, you can use the time bar as a fast forward: it's at 40:50 Ditto to the Garcia/Grisman tapes.
