Today as I remember Jerry Garcia on 21st anniversary of his death, I'm digging deep into one of the Grateful Dead leader's other projects. In late 1978, longtime Jerry collaborator and bass player, John Kahn, put together a new band in the ashes of the most recent version of the Jerry Garcia Band. The key difference with this new band would be the addition of saxophone and trombone. The band was together for about a year and performed together just 57 times. Luckily, for Deadheads like me, there was always someone following Jerry's bands around with tape recorder. This is especially true with Reconstruction as they never recorded anything together in the studio. In any case, enjoy this peppy number from 7-7-79 in Palo Alto, California.
