This was a Great Period for Jerry, Some of his best playing anywhere is right here on this CD. If you like what The Dead does during a Choice live: "Morning Dew", this Cut is gonna knock you flat, It's one of Jerry's Finest moments EVER, the Solos are The Grail.The Bonus track is; "Mystery Train" and it's Welcome here. It sounds like a Boot-Stompin' Show opener, and what comes to Life on this Re-Master, is the Bass Guitar of John Kahn, he has been brought-up in the Mix and is much more in the Fore-Front here.Kahn is Incredible. This Artist had Music comin' outta his pores, and this CD is the Proof. Three: "Someday Baby", gives Merl The Funk Spotlight, and You KNOW that Jerry's got one of those Big Grins on his Face, during this One, It's an Groovetune.Nice. When this Double LP was released way back in 1973, it had a bit of an impact in:"Jerry-Land".
Jerry & Merl are outta the Gate with: "That's All Right Mama" at a Breakness Pace. The drumming of Bill Vitt, drives this one along, this is 50's Rockabilly Meeting Up with 70's Jamming and it's Good."Keystone Vol II, is MUST-OWN, Jerry Garcia. Translation: It was like Moses bringing the Tablets down.We, had 2 Records of Live Jerry, at last.Vol. On the Original Record, "Like a Road", was the Closing Number, and this was my Favorite of the Set. Rock,Jazz,Blues,Funk,Soul,Space and Taste.This is a Five-Star CD. 2 of "Live at the Keystone" is the Second Part of that Original Double Record,and it's The best Part.
The Jazz Standard: "My Funny Valentine" at 18 Minutes is Quite an Musical Journey, Jerry's Amazing Solo's come from Sideways and they twist & turn all around the Main Melody BUT, they are focused and Spot-On, To understand Jerry as an "Jazzman", begin here, Also, there is some Deep Space explored herein, and it's all over too soon.Track No.
if you love jerry & his solo project sound, you need this for your colloection.
"Like a Road" drips with emotion and "Funny Valentine" is very jazzy, loose, and will impress any music fan. If you are gonna get one, get this one. Worth the price for just these 2 tracks alone. This CD is the best of all 3 Keystone releases. Period.
Live At Keystone, Vol. The two effortlessly bounce their electric emotions off of eachother throughout the entire album. Saunders and Garcia jam out almost every track on the album, and their raport with the audience can be heared in the background. Live At Keystone, Vol. 2 is an album that cannot be passed up by music lovers of any kind. Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders share the pinnacle of their careers on this funky live album. 2 highlights two of the most fabulous muscicans of the 20th century. Both products of the San Francisco counter culture, Saunders and Garcia colaborated many times during the 70's and 80's at the famous Keystone Auditorium.
