Wow, what a find. Live recording of the Jerry Garcia Band, December 1983. If I didn't know better I'd sat this was a studio performance.

It's recorded on Maxell XLIIS and sounds amazing.

TBH, I'm not even a huge Jerry Garcia fan but this recording and performance is 🤯

I had heard of these recordings from tapers of this era, where they would just go set up microphones at concert to record them and make bootlegs.

I don't know the history of this particular tape but if it's truly a live recording, I'm holding on to this one 😀

Where/how did you get the cassette?

I was in a record store digging through cassettes. And there was this unmarked section and it had ROWS of these bootlegs in drawers.

I asked the owner and he said he bought the entire collection off this guy. I should really go back just to take a picture of it!
