What I’m excited about right now: Remembering Jerry Garcia on his 80th birthday
August 1, 2022
At the time of Jerry Garcia’s death on Aug. 9, 1995, he held the distinction of having performed live before more people than any other musician in history, both as a member of the Grateful Dead (the most successful concert band in music history) and in his solo career. I count myself very fortunate to have been able to see Garcia perform with the Dead once, just five weeks before Garcia died, and now, 27 years later, I’m excited about celebrating his 80th birthday on August 1. Numerous celebrations across the country are planned around this event. https://jambands.com/news/2022/06/23/american-institutions-to-honor-jerry-garcias-80th-birthday-yankee-stadium-blue-note-napa-and-jgf-archival-launch/ There are...
