50 years ago tonight, #JerryGarcia & merl saunders in #berkeley with saunders’ aunt monk rhythm section. oversaturated in places, but 2 pretty fantastic once-on-tape tunes by weather report & marvin gaye, presumably from aunt monk’s repertoire. nice stereo mix by end, saunders on left & garcia on right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrA6vtsD2f0

1/22/75 keystone berkeley: tape cuts in during raging AFTER MIDNIGHT. 18-minute YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR HAT ON finds dense garcia/saunders weave before cooling out some. good fun 21-minute CUCUMBER SLUMBER by weather report, only garciaverse version, garcia hangs back until he doesn’t, widening to open conversational groove. adventurous 26-minute instrumental of marvin gaye’s WHAT’S GOING ON, only known version, flute-led at first, & picking up as it wanders. #garciafreaksunite #jg012275 [2/2]
