Appearing on Halloween.


jerrygarcia.com is excited to announce the appearance of two new releases in the Pure Jerry series of live concert recordings from the Jerry Garcia Archive. These releases celebrate Jerry Garcia on one of his many musical highs: the legendary two-week run on Broadway in New York City in October 1987.

JERRY GARCIA BAND'S HISTORIC BROADWAY ENGAGEMENT
In October 1987, Jerry Garcia and his colleagues turned on the bright lights of Broadway with a record-setting 18 performance engagement at New York's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre: "Jerry on Broadway: Acoustic & Electric" was masterminded by impresario Bill Graham and featured two acts: Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band and Jerry Garcia Band.

Word spread that every show was special, confirmed by the rabid howls of you werewolves who wrote to jerrygarcia.com with demands for the release of the "Jerry on Broadway" run. Show after show, the acoustic band ran through a captivating variety: old timey, spiritual, cowboy, string band, war ballads—the music at the roots of Jerry's expansive musical vision. Then, after an intermission, Jerry Garcia Band returned with electrifying sets revealing the musicians in peak form. The engagement culminated with matinee and evening shows on Halloween, a wild night by all accounts.
