Sugaree - Jerry Garcia Band - Keystone, Berkeley, CA 1977-08-06 This clip is the Jerry Garcia Band's performance of "Sugaree," 49 years ago tonight, on August 6, 1977, at the Keystone in Berkeley, CA. I read in the notes that the band made $750.00 for performing from 10pm to 2am. 5 people in the band - do the math. Clearly they weren't in it for the money. Also, note that Ron Tutt is Jerry's drummer again in this show. For those that don't know, Ron Tutt was Elvis Presley's drummer. Jerry was the man.

Most impressive was the lead guitarist, Jerry Garcia. He had something special, some magic in him, for sure. The band as a whole was one of a kind, but Garcia stood out. From the start, I always thought of it as the "Phil & Jerry show." That night, 1/18/1979, put me on a fantastically long, strange, trip that i'm still on today. I'm happy to say that i saw the grateful dead 81 times. (Up until 7/2026, I had counted only 78. I went through each show on deadbase on 7/4/26 and found i didn't count 3 Spectrum shows I went to). I also went to as many JGB shows as i could- i don't have a count on those. i can truly say that i definitely didn't see either band often enough! My name is Leo. Through the years i never really learned how to play the guitar. Just played it and struggled the whole way. Haven't had a lesson... I've tried not to listen to anyone about it- and it probably shows. What i offer you is me, and this music from my heart, born of pure love and emotion. Hopefully you'll feel some of it as you listen. I'm not the best singer but i love to sing the dead and garcia tunes. There's so much meaning behind all of it for me. I know many of you share this same feeling... its something special and very difficult to describe. Something about Garcia's sincerity when he sang rubbed off on all of us. We remember when we hear their music. I miss Jerry every day. His music is an inspiration... #gratefuldead #music #livemusic #jerrygarcia #love #video #jerrygarciaband #phillesh #bobweir #shortfeed #shortvideo #shortsvideo #nature #hiking #hike
