In August, an all-star cast of musicians reunited to honor the late and great Jerry Garcia. Dubbed the Jerry Garcia Birthday Band, Dead and Company bassist Oteil Burbridge, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead and Ghost Light guitarist Tom Hamilton, Widespread Panic drummer Duane Trucks, as well as longtime Jerry Garcia Band members keyboardist Melvin Seals, and vocalists Gloria Jones and Jacklyn LaBranch, joined forces at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, Colorado.
The band has shared pro-shot video of a two song-sequence from their recent Vail, Colorado performance, with Tom Hamilton leading the band through “Don’t Let Go” and “Tangled Up In Blue”, two popular covers that Garcia played with his solo outfit. You can watch pro-shot video of the band’s take on the Jesse Stone and Bob Dylan covers below:

Longtime Jerry Garcia Bandmembers Melvin Seals, Jackie LaBranch and Gloria Jones will be joined by bassist Oteil Burbridge, guitarist Tom Hamilton and drummer Duane Trucks for the two-night run dubbed, “Like A Road Leading Home: Celebrating Jerry Garcia.”
