A gentle acoustic ballad with a deceptively fierce spirit, “Uncle John’s Band” sums up the soul of Jerry Garcia and how he saw himself and the Dead. With a title that references his middle name, it offers an image of a singer and his violin by the riverside, bringing a ragtag bunch of misfits and outcasts together into a community.
As Garcia recalled, “At that time, I was listening to records of the Bulgarian Women’s Choir and also this Greek-Macedonian music, and on one of those records, there was this little turn of melody that was so lovely that I thought, ‘Gee, if I could get this into a song it would be so great.
JeffFrank Thank you, Uncle Jerry!
Thanks 😊
For Ian Beau!
A true original, there will never be another like Garcia!

Gratefuldeadsub The ultimate guide only needs to speak of 71-77. After that a few nice shows but definitely a decline in performance and quality.
This list is a fun read, but not at all my take. Why would they choose the mediocre studio China Cat over the many amazing live versions? Shakedown and Terrapin will behind songs like Black Peter or Run for the Roses? Crazy...
My darling, Sugaree
