DVD Reviews of Jerry Garcia Band: Live at Shoreline
DVD Review: Top-notch live performance
Summary: 4 Stars
The Good
Jerry's weathered vocals compliment the bluesy feel of "How Sweet It Is to be Loved by You". His improv soloing is sure to please the most finicky of guitar revelers. The tone he's using is a perfect match for the Hammond organ tones. On "Dear Prudence", Garcia pours all of his heart and emotion into his vocals as well as his guitar playing. Although the main lick is repetitive through most of the song, Jerry cuts loose from the song's confinements with some impressive guitar runs. The emotion is only enhanced by the female back-up singers.
"Run for the Roses" mixes soulful gospel melodies with twangy guitars and funky bass lines from John Kahn. Drummer David Kemper really shines on the changes. If the main riff of "Deal" doesn't cry out the blues, then I don't know what does. Garcia helps his guitar weep with melodic tones that are pure aural enjoyment. The band puts their own unique spin on "I Second That Emotion". "Think" combines blues and country music styles with a whole lot of soul.
Is anyone surprised that there's a song on here called "And it Stoned Me"? It's John Kahn's time to shine on "Waiting for a Miracle" as he lays down some bass dominant licks. "Tangled Up In Blue" brings the house to it's feet with it's up-tempo rhythms. It works so well because most of the other material is on the down side of things. Bonuses on the DVD include and interview with Garcia's longtime songwriter, and an interview with members of the Jerry Garcia Band.
The Bad
The interview segments are not very interesting. The lighting for the show is kind of poor.
The Verdict
The only song I know by the Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia is "Touch of Grey", so I probably can't do this DVD justice. I can say that Garcia and company play tribute to R&B, gospel, and blues during this top-notch live performance. You wouldn't know that this show was put together on-the-fly. There are plenty of jam sessions to please Jerry's loyal following. I discovered that one of the best aspects of Garcia's music is that it all has a positive message. That's always a good thing.
