The 11th in the GarciaLive series, it's no accident that this 11\/11\/93 ripper from Providence was chosen to be next, beyond the numeric synchronicity. In fact, it's a wonder it wasn't released sooner, given all of its strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost is Jerry Garcia's inspired voice and guitar work that proves once again why he was so beloved. The setlist is full of familiar trails- cookers, covers, and ballads-, with a few surprises, but it's almost beside the point; it's the vivid articulation, the verve, from Garcia and company deployed on every song that makes this one another must-have from this ongoing series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two-disc collection is recorded quite well, balancing sonically and with strong fidelity each stellar contribution from the always-steady ensemble; whether Melvin Seal's dexterity on \"That's What Love Will Make You Do,\" John Kahn's storytelling bass on \"Simple Twist of Fate,\" or David Kemper's intuitive double-time push on \"Dear Prudence\" as Garcia ripples through the changes. Yet, if the reasoning for acquisition of this gem needs to be reduced to one word, it's Garcia. Jerry is masterful, measuring blitz with bliss as he travels, often driving solos past the exit signs that appear with resolving chords, instead 'feeling it' and heading further on down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis final JGB performance in Rhode Island's capital- always a Northeast stronghold for the Dead- is closed with a bluegrass staple, \"Midnight Moonlight.\" It's jaunty, old-time fun contrasting the exploratory, improvisation-infested \"Don't Let Go,\" that precedes it, beautifully showing off two of the many shades of Garcia. It's also a bit bittersweet, recalling a much younger man playing jug music in the hills of Appalachia, with the whole strange trip still ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e— Larson Sutton, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/relix.com\/reviews\/detail\/jerry-garcia-band-garcialive-volume-11-november-11th-1993-providence-civic-center\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRelix\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the fall of 1993, the Jerry Garcia Band had settled into one of the most soulful configurations of Garcia's career, with Melvin Seals' Hammond work and the vocal interplay between Gloria Jones and Jaclyn LaBranch giving the group a genuine gospel-and-R\u0026amp;B backbone that set it apart from anything happening on the Dead stage. Providence caught the band deep in their stride, and the breadth of the repertoire here, from Garcia-Hunter originals to Van Morrison to Motown, speaks to how wide Garcia's musical world truly was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded on November 11, 1993 at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island, \u003cem\u003eGarciaLive Volume 11\u003c\/em\u003e captures the \u003cstrong\u003eJerry Garcia Band\u003c\/strong\u003e on their final East Coast tour — and \u003cstrong\u003eJerry Garcia\u003c\/strong\u003e's last-ever performance in Providence.
