Jerry Garcia & John Kahn – GarciaLive Vol. 14: January 27th, 1986 The Ritz (CD)
Product Details
By 1986, Jerry Garcia and John Kahn had been playing together for over a decade, and their acoustic duo shows captured something the full band rarely could: pure conversation between two musicians who knew each other's instincts completely. The Ritz, one of New York's premier rock venues of the era, gave this intimate format an unlikely stage, and the crowd got something closer to a front-porch session than a concert.
GarciaLive Volume 14 showcases a buoyant acoustic performance from Jerry Garcia and longtime friend and bassist John Kahn during the middle of a rare duo tour. Recorded on January 27, 1986 at The Ritz in New York City, Garcia and Kahn deliver two exquisite sets featuring Grateful Dead favorites — "Ripple," "Friend of the Devil," "Dire Wolf," and "Bird Song" — alongside spirited takes on Bob Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece" and "Simple Twist of Fate," plus deep cuts like "Deep Elem Blues," "Little Sadie," and "Spike Driver Blues."
