Forum MVP John A Posted December 13, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The folks at JerryGarcia.com bring you a Christmas gift - a free download of the only performance of the old bluegrass classic Christmas-Times-A-Comin' from the 12-6-87 acoustic band set. It's an MP3 and you have to sign up the mailing list (not really a bad thing to be on), but no matter; I eat up off the wall Garcia stuff like this. There's also a nifty little intro by Sandy Rothman. I have a 6th row recording of this show with Radio Shack omni mics, and it doesn't embarrass itself, but the MP3 board wipes the floor with it. http://jerrygarcia.com/christmas-times-a-comin/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tea Posted December 13, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I remember getting the ShadyGrove set with Grisman well before it was released. My jaw hit the floor to hear Jerry do some stuff that I had not heard before! Needless to say, that recording made the rounds - quickly! I also remember having a similar reaction to the acoustic portion of 10/31/87 at The Lunt-Fontanne... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted December 13, 2016 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think some people were patching out of the wire for the stage monitor speakers, grabbing soundboards on that Broadway run. I caught the August eel river three sets (acoustic followed by 2 electric sets) for $15.00 up in Humboldt county. Used a d6 with a Radio shack mic for that one. We were all so close it still came out crisp. Thanks for the lead on this 12/6/87. What a great year with Jerry all over the place. Telluride, Monterey, Roanoke, even played the stone (Sat and Sunday) in January right before Chinese new year's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
