It struck me the other day at the Vibes just how young Jerry Garcia was when he died, just how much music his band mates have made since his passing, just how short his life really was and just what the possibilities could have been. That was a dark day 13 years back, and I’m missing JG this morning, but you gotta know the man would want people to celebrate, not mourn. So with that in mind, a choice set of JGB from the summer of 1982 on Cape Cod- a gorgeous recording of a gorgeous performance. Put it on and give a smile.

JGB, 6/18/82
South Yarmouth, Mass

Set: How Sweet It Is, Valerie, Dear Prudence, Mississippi Moon, Don’t Let Go, Simple Twist of Fate, Run for the Roses
Encore: They Love Each Other
