David Nelson later helped form the New Riders of the Purple Sage, who frequently toured with the Grateful Dead in the early 1970’s and for a time featured Garcia sitting in on pedal steel guitar and banjo. Several recordings of the Black Mountain Boys are known to circulate amongst traders from various dates around early 1964. Both Nelson and Rothman were longtime associates of Garcia, from as far back as one of Garcia’s earliest live bluegrass bands, the Black Mountain Boys.

Rounding out the group were Jerry’s old friends David Nelson on rhythm guitar and Sandy Rothman on mandolin and dobro. The Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band featured JGB regulars John Kahn on bass and David Kemper on drums. Here’s an aerial shot of the campsite taken in 2003 during the annual reggae festival held there: You have to imagine that this beautiful outdoor venue in the heart of the summer had some splendid aromas wafting through the air, and I’m not talking about the scent of fresh pine. Now you probably are aware, Humboldt County is known for more than its gorgeous scenery. Finally, the acoustic set contained the only known performance by this band of Friend of the Devil, and one of only two versions of Little Sadie.Ī little about the site itself: French’s Camp at Eel River is a gorgeous site in Humboldt County, in Northern California. At all the shows after this one there was only one electric set following the acoustic set.

Second, it is the only time that Jerry played an acoustic set with JGAB as well as two full electric sets with his regular band. First, it is the premiere performance of the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. This particular show is unique in several ways. This show is a fantastic representation of the kinds of shows Jerry was playing during his run with the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band, as well as this final lineup of the Jerry Garcia electric band. This one is absolutely perfect, with a pristine mix and gorgeous tone all the way through. Soundboard patches were few and far between, so every one in current circulation is like gold to me. As you may know, Jerry never authorized recording of any incarnation of the Jerry Garcia Band, so most recordings in circulation are stealth audience recordings. This is hands down one of the cleanest, best sounding soundboards I’ve ever heard of a Jerry Garcia Band show.
