with David Grisman, John Hartford, Mark O'Connor,
& Gene Libbea.  Side B contains what appears to be
several studio session recordings by Vassar
Clements; on the first several songs it
sounds like David Grisman on mandolin, but then
Vassar is supported by a full band that sounds
like the Earl Scruggs Revue (with Earl Scruggs
and Josh Graves).

Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, Warfield Theater, May 1992 (SBD)

This recording is a mix of the 5 night Garcia and Grisman run (May 7 - May 11, 1992). The tape was given to David Gans by David Grisman for Gan's Grateful Dead Hour program. The tape was subsequently stolen from Gans and put into circulation.  The quality of this is as good as any official release.

Old And In The Way, 7-23-73

Here is yet another show featuring Jerry Garcia from the time period between 1973 and 1975. It's another fine soundboard recording of Old And In The Way. In 1973 Jerry played 26 Old And In The Way shows, along with 74 Grateful Dead shows, and 49 Garcia and Saunders shows. Around 150 shows in one year along with whatever time was spent in the studio producing the Wake Of The flood album. Jerry was also very productive during this time creating new songs. That alot of frequent flier miles. This is one of my favorite time periods of the Grateful Dead. I guess Jerry was trying to stay busy while dealing with the loss of his friend and band mate from the Grateful Dead, Pig Pen, who died at age 27 on 3-08-1973.

Great American String Band, 1974

This post is two shows from The Great American String Band. Another Jerry Garcia side project. It only lasted a short time in this configuration. I can only find seven documented shows that they played. This appears to be a continuation of the Old And In The Way idea with Garcia on banjo and Grisman on mandolin. This band then eventually morphed into the first configuration of the David Grisman Quintet. Already at this point they are doing several songs that would be some of the David Grisman Quintet's standards.

David Grisman Quintet, 5-28-77

This is an early recording of the David Grisman Quintet. This is fantastic stuff. Tony Rice and Grisman are amazing on this, and it is a very nice soundboard. I really like this one.
