“After Midnight” was written by JJ Cale and probably most famously recorded by Eric Clapton. But Jerry Garcia loved the song, too, and played it with various editions of his band between 1971 and 1983. This one is from GarciaLive volume 6, the new release from Round Records. It’s Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, with John Kahn on bass and Bill Vitt on drums, recorded July 5, 1973 at the Lion’s Share in San Anselmo, California. Listeners who started hearing Jerry and the Dead in the ’80s or ’90s might be surprised at the tiny venues these guys played back in the day, but that’s how it was here in the San Francisco area. GarciaLive volume 6 will be released on June 24, but you can preorder now at jerrygarcia.com.
Billy and the Kids is a very cool project featuring the Grateful Dead’s original drummer, Bill Kreutzmann, with Reed Mathis on bass, Aron Magner on keyboards, and Tom Hamilton on guitar. They performed at the Wanee Festival in Florida on April 15, with some help from Eric Krasno on guitar and a very special guest on the last song.
