Jerry Garcia Band – GarciaLive Vol.2: August 5th, 1990 Greek Theatre (2-CD) Music CD

GarciaLive Volume Two captures the classic latter-era lineup of the Jerry Garcia Band at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on August 5, 1990 — featuring Jerry Garcia on guitar and vocals, Melvin Seals on keyboards, John Kahn on bass, David Kemper on drums, and Gloria Jones and Jaclyn LaBranch on backing vocals. Recorded during a fruitful period that also yielded the releases Jerry Garcia Band and How Sweet It Is, the show is a showcase for the JGB at their most fluid and expansive.

Set One moves confidently through "How Sweet It Is," "Forever Young," a brooding "Tears of Rage," and a scorching "Deal." Set Two opens with a special guest appearance by banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, who kicks things off with a fiery "Midnight Moonlight" and an otherworldly run through Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come," before the band closes the night with a towering "Tangled Up in Blue."
