A JGB drum solo by Bill Kreutzmann - Cape Cod Coliseum, June 18, 1982

LN jg1982-06-18.jgb.all.aud-craigl.138576.flac1644

For about a minute-twenty in "Don't Let Go," Billy K. solos. It's a little surreal.

I have historically loved this show, but nothing much jumps out at me on this listen.

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; ... = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [m:ss] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [m:ss] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! P: I have loved this show in the past, e.g., from the soundboard. On this listen, it doesn't move me. Billy K. provides perhaps the only drum solo in the history of the Jerry Garcia Band.

! P: t02 Valerie Garcia in a grungy space for so early in the show, a little bit of big chording happening.

! P: t05 DLG has a drum solo - Billy K! - 15:35-16:50. How weird - don't recall this.

! P: t06 STOF very brief Kahn solo, though I wasn't necessarily listening that closely.

! P: t07 very GD wah sounding guitar, round notes.

  1. fwiw, Billy solos in the great 6/16/82 Don't Let Go, too. The preceding version on 6/12 (Palo Alto) has a spacey Billy/Melvin/John moment, but it's not a really a "drum solo" in the strict sense. I don't know of other versions where the drummer gets some solo space.

  2. Looks like this is garcia live 20 w/ 81 stone filler. Pretty cool, maybe someday they will release some 83.
