Anyone who knows anything about the Lil’ Dogg knows that I’m a (tie) dyed in the wool Dead Head from waaaay back with access to a legendary Tape Collection of CAPITAL J Jamzzzz.
Today would have been St. Jerry Garcia’s 76th Birthday. So in honor of Hi-Top’s Patron Saint this pup presents to the Hi-Top Faithful my Top 5 Ultimate Jerry Jams:
5. 7/13/84
A lot of Heads dismiss the mid 80s Dead but this Jam from the Dead’s backyard of Berkeley is a real keeper. The transition from Scarlet to Touch is just sublime.
4. 12/31/79
This late 70s Franklin’s Tower really rips. Jerry’s lines coming straight from the guitar gods.
3. 7/19/89
Jerry looks like hell but plays like heaven. Is it possible the best Althea is from 1989? Yes. Yes I think it is.
2. 5/8/77
Barton Hall???? Yes. Barton Hall. Always Barton Hall.
1. 11/3/91
“I will get by. I will get by.”
