This is why Jerry was so well loved , He was hooked on Playing day or Allnight. He was Rock-and Roll -love you jerry we miss you so fucking much. You put out so much,l with so many Group's.
You got alot done in the short time on Earth. They cannot go on without you and you knew this! They should retire and injoy thre rest of their Life doing what ever they want to....
I fell in love with how Jordan responds to situations: do you notice how he makes a number out of setting the microphone back to the holder? That's showmanship.
Jerry's riff on this jam is so completely effortless, it blows me away. He's smiling and groovin' and Carlos is down with him. Garcia is so gracious, he always stands back and gives the other musicians their due.
Steve got DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN!!!!!! R.I.P. Yes totec13, he really was the best accordian player EVER in the tejano/conjunto industry. His sons are JUST as talented!!!

Three great Chicano musicians! I'm glad that Esteban Jordan was included. Three unique styles. Props for those of you who can appreciate the artistry and beauty of all three!
The first Garcia solo seems unusual in style and substance, "more original" if you will. This whole vid is fun, and not least because Jer is having so much fun.
The accordian player, Steve Jordan, Rest in Peace, Bro. I will never forget your music and your defiant. You were one baddass pachuco-hippie cool cat!!!
A truly great evening this was . . . A gathering of the some fo the best Latino musicians for a worthy cause . . . . Jerry blew some heavy Coltrain style riffs on his solo, and Carlos was, well, just Carlos . . .
Steve could do,with an acordeon, what Herbie Hancock, chick corea, and a myriad of thers can do in a jazz jam with keyboards! Just an amazing performer! BTW, he was virtuoso in 22 different instruments!
RIP Steve Jordan and Jerry Garcia, two of the best ever at what they did!
The guy on the accordian is Steve Jordan. I've been to several of his gigs and he KICKS ASS on the squeeze box. What makes him unique is that he will use devices which will alter the sound of his accordian. Like him or not, he's considered to the the best accordianist that's walked on this planet according to The Rolling Stone Magazine.
@toltec13 He was a phenomenal accordionalist. he has passed about a little over a year now. and I agree with you he squeezed that box and did things to it that i have never seen anyone else do to this day! RIP El Parche!!!
I'm sorry to say this to all you Santana fans out there, but, come on! Jer. blows Carlos off the stage. He played 5 notes to Carlos' one, especially in that first exchange.
Wow- whoever that accordion guy is, he is NOT a team player. His bits did not groove at all with anybody else. You can tell when Carlos was just staring at the guy, and trying to figure out some way to work it, but it just wasn't there.
2 things...one, Garcia was wailing...he usually doesn't play with that much overdrive on his guitar, does he? 2nd thing...who invited the guy with the squeezebox? He's a bigger buzzkill then Buzz Killington.
people always rip on me when i say i only listen to early dead , that by the 80's the dead had become garcia's job. video's like this back up my hypothesis. look how much fun jerry is having. now go watch a dead video from the late eighties early nineties , does jerry even smile? playing with the dead had obviously become a chore and it was in other areas that jerry really shined.
@thkujry4arlgdtime i saw 42 shows, my first when i was 12 years old. deadhead ? - yes. fool?- no (well ok). just listen to the tapes. 73- incredible. 93- snooze fest.
@ncbloom : The Dead were my religion, every show i went to, I had a REAL GOOD TIME. I am thankful for it all. The music that came thru the boys was a gift. I Never put them down, Jerry struggled, but he was a channel for some powerful music. Thank you Jerry for a real good time!
i agree fully , i guess you missed my point which was that in the 90's jerry's best work was done away from the grateful dead. i also treasure every moment i was at a grateful dead show. but do i listen to the tapes??? no. i listen to 2-15-73. or 2-27-77. give those shows a listen an you will hear the grateful dead before they were burn out and redundant.
Oh, the Grateful Dead were Never burned out and redundant. WOW, that's harsh. Dude, to not be grateful for every scrap of the muse that came thru the boys is a loss indeed.
me and my best friends have this same argument all the time. i respect your opinion , no disrespect. its the same , for me , with bobby and phils bands . i'll see them when they come to my town , but i wont be downloading any of the shows for furthur listening. see you at the show !!!!! ( i'll be the dude with his arms crossed nay saying everything)
and you would have to be high to not see jerry was miserable at most 94-95 dead shows. i was front row at quite a few shows on summer 95. and jerry obviously would have rather been anywhere else. but like i said it was his job. i know its hard for deadheads to admit but jerrbear was a slave to the corporation know as the grateful dead. " I've seen things getting out of hand , i guess they always will"
Oh dear, well i was high but, dang, I saw him at Cal Expo, Oregon, Oakland, Mountain View, etc during that time and no body I knew had anything to say but Thank You. I sure the heck enjoyed those shows and I saw allot of smiles on Jerry's face.
Jerry was slave to his addiction and body. I wish he could have lived to have his heart surgery and then survive. I'm sorry you feel so negative.
i dont really see it as being negative. i am also VERY thankful for every show i had the good fortune to attend. but an observation is an observation. even phil has said numerous times that the dead were struggling musically in the last couple of years. sure i'd rather go to a mediocre dead show than any other concert, but in a historical perspective, when you compare the dead of the 60 &70's to the late 80's , 90's dead its apples and oranges. like i said go listen to 2-26-77 . RIPPING !!
@ncbloom He always seemed to want to take extended breaks toward the end but then he'd change his mind. His side projects helped him cope I think, but something kept pulling him back into the Dead scene. It would have been good for him to take a break but there must have been something irresistable about being in that band. The Grateful Dead spent a lot of lives, I guess it was adouble edged sword. The fame Gods don't let you have it all.
I think Jerry still enjoyed playing with the Dead, it was the mega-circus around the band that bummed him out, and having to travel all over the place, maybe. There were still some fine shows almost to the end - check out Seattle 5/26/95 for example.
I was at this show. It was at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown LA. It was sick. A benefit show with tons of folks from the Latino community, including Ruben Blades, Linda Ronstadt, Tito Puente, Poncho Sanchez. Totally sick. Jerry was always at his best sitting in with other folks. With the Dead it could take him 30 minutes to get in. With others, it was about 30 seconds. Thanks for the post.
no kidding. did you consider that another musician, besides the drum wizard and X-pensive Wino, might be named 'Steve Jordan'? Mr. Santana clearly announces right before a fellow starts playing the instrument that looks like an accordion, "and from San Antonio, Texas . . . Mr. Steve Jordan." Mastering the technique of inference is not so difficult if you can concentrate on connections between words, contexts, and actions. You could learn that 2 musicians have the same name, 'Steve Jordan.'
This is another Steve Jordan Starting at 2:52 who plays the accordion. He plays jazz,funk, and other cool music. This Steve appeared in the film Born In East L.A. as the accordion player of Rudy y sus Huevos Rancheros. I know the Steve Jordan you are talking about he kicks ass on the drums. By the way the Tex Jordan plays over 37 musical instruments including horns, guitars, drums, keyboards, percussions, he is a hell of a musician. It would be cool to get them together and now the Steve Jordans
i hate this cold funk-jazz stuff..but Jerry plays a fantastic solo, makes carlos look pale..Garcia is very very underrated as guitar-player..he belongs to hendrix, clapton, Beck, Townshend..he has his very own unique style..love it
Jerry is alread known as one of the greats. And his solo doesn't make Carlos look pale.
Carlos is playing around a specific melody and hitting the chord and rhythm changes. Jerry is jamming which makes his solo a bit more free and perhaps more interesting. But he doesn't blow Carlos away.
@towser06 i think jerry garcia is underrated by most people but rolling stone rated him as the 13th best guitar player of all time. look it up. they gave him his props.
@MrGrevy good point... ranking Cobain # 11 is absurd. ...actually Kurt Cobain is ranked # 11 in a tie with Kirk Hammett of Metallica. Hammett's solos (whether you like Metallica or not) - are insane. ...for the record (and anyone reading these comments) Rolling Stone ranked Carlos Santana # 15. you can argue back and forth about those kinds of lists. my top 3 (with their Rolling Stone ranking) are: Jerry Garcia (ranked #13) , David Gilmour (ranked # 82) and Mark Knopfler (ranked # 27)
@soopanick Yeah it's impossible to really rank them. For one thing, not all guitarists play at their full technical ability all the time, there are different styles, some release shitty albums that don't really display their talent. I think the best measure is whether they transcend the instrument. It's like trying to rank authors or movies. Too much variation in taste. Though cobain wasn't what I would REALLY call a musician. At least not on the level of the greats.
@soopanick I agree that Garcia, Gilmour and Knopfler are all great. Cobain I think has a higher element to his playing that you may not be able to see, for example his solo in "In Bloom" is amazing even though it is mostly feedback. Similarly, even when he is playing power chords or something very simple there is a certain style that he has, not unlike Keith Richards or someone else. Guitar is more than just technique, when you develop technique you begin to see that.
@soopanick guitarist lists are absurd, but Garcia is one of The Greats. Gilmour, Knopfler, Hammett are all Masters... but merely Masters! haha. Carlos defines a sound that is historic, but TA has killed some of it's kindness.
Prince, says I, is a better guitarist and than any of these, but like Cobain (whom i say he dwarfs), is better known for other aspects. Most of these owe a Hendrix debt that Jerry doesn't. Threads could be said.
@dennywolfe you can never agree on lists. the point of a list is silly but that's what people do...argue about, "who's better" ...even when the people in question are of different era's and genre's. ...i was only saying that, while still underrated, rolling stone gave jerry garcia his props. i disagree with those who rate cobain as high as he is. i know this is all like arguing about art but still... for example, "In Bloom" that's considered kurt's best. highly overreated if you ask me.
@soopanick in the end its subjective, but u can observe these varied solos objectively and see that steve jordans ideas are the much deeper of the three solos that were performed in this video.
@juegas if u cant hear it , u need some more schoolin cause the only way to truly see the depths of any thing is to go there urself. good luck padawan.
Maybe if they would have spent more time inventing things and building civilizations, mexico and spain wouldn't be such hellholes. Btw, don't EVER say jerry was a spic good lord.
Alfrunk has to be one of those Bill O'reilly minions. Do us a favor and go comment on his videos. Jerry was a Spic and Jimi Hendrix was Black! so just cause you can't play guitar don't go writing your racist comments especially on this video with Frisco natives.
This was a broadcast on Showtime in the late 80's called A Latino Session. The show was at a Ballroom in a hotel in LA. The video was produced by Len Dell'Amico. Check out my page for the highlight of the show, the closer by Ruben Blades with Jerry lifting the roof off the joint.
no mamen ITS WHAT STEVE SAID.,puro pinche mariguano encocado aki mejor me voy con la raza, u could see that.he left at 4:59 without saying good bye lol.
damn santana call jerry his brother how about el parche?maybe cuz el parche its the soul brother of el brujo xavier batix.,and the brujo was santana teacher,its why the masters no need to said good bye. they stay for ever on our souls..arriva el parche y chinge a su mauser al ke no le kaiga..
cada guitarrista tiene un maestro, mas no quiere decir que gracias a ellos sean genios,la unica genialidad de batiz es haber introducido carlos hacia el blues pero de ahi a que santana le deba la vida a javier pues es una idiotez, se imaginan cada guitarrista le deban la vida a otros, cuando eres genio eres genion no importa con quien empiezes a tocar, por batiz nunca hiso nada genial, yo lo vi mas 6 veces, incluso por su ego perdio avandaro
Yeah, the 80's aspects of it are dated... especially the annoying synth... but JG was surprisingly good. His solos with the Dead were mostly a clam bar...
This is why Jerry was so well loved , He was hooked on Playing day or Allnight. He was Rock-and Roll -love you jerry we miss you so fucking much. You put out so much,l with so many Group's.
You got alot done in the short time on Earth. They cannot go on without you and you knew this! They should retire and injoy thre rest of their Life doing what ever they want to....

You could learn that 2 musicians have the same name, 'Steve Jordan.'

This is another Steve Jordan Starting at 2:52 who plays the accordion. He plays jazz,funk, and other cool music. This Steve appeared in the film Born In East L.A. as the accordion player of Rudy y sus Huevos Rancheros. I know the Steve Jordan you are talking about he kicks ass on the drums. By the way the Tex Jordan plays over 37 musical instruments including horns, guitars, drums, keyboards, percussions, he is a hell of a musician. It would be cool to get them together and now the Steve Jordans

i hate this cold funk-jazz stuff..but Jerry plays a fantastic solo, makes carlos look pale..Garcia is very very underrated as guitar-player..he belongs to hendrix, clapton, Beck, Townshend..he has his very own unique style..love it

Jerry is alread known as one of the greats. And his solo doesn't make Carlos look pale.
Carlos is playing around a specific melody and hitting the chord and rhythm changes. Jerry is jamming which makes his solo a bit more free and perhaps more interesting. But he doesn't blow Carlos away.

@towser06 i think jerry garcia is underrated by most people but rolling stone rated him as the 13th best guitar player of all time. look it up. they gave him his props.

@soopanick Yeah but they rated kurt cobain #11. That list was a joke. Garcia needed to be in the top 5
MrGrevy 1 year ago
@MrGrevy good point... ranking Cobain # 11 is absurd. ...actually Kurt Cobain is ranked # 11 in a tie with Kirk Hammett of Metallica. Hammett's solos (whether you like Metallica or not) - are insane. ...for the record (and anyone reading these comments) Rolling Stone ranked Carlos Santana # 15. you can argue back and forth about those kinds of lists. my top 3 (with their Rolling Stone ranking) are: Jerry Garcia (ranked #13) , David Gilmour (ranked # 82) and Mark Knopfler (ranked # 27)
soopanick 1 year ago
@soopanick Yeah it's impossible to really rank them. For one thing, not all guitarists play at their full technical ability all the time, there are different styles, some release shitty albums that don't really display their talent. I think the best measure is whether they transcend the instrument. It's like trying to rank authors or movies. Too much variation in taste. Though cobain wasn't what I would REALLY call a musician. At least not on the level of the greats.
MrGrevy 1 year ago
@soopanick I agree that Garcia, Gilmour and Knopfler are all great. Cobain I think has a higher element to his playing that you may not be able to see, for example his solo in "In Bloom" is amazing even though it is mostly feedback. Similarly, even when he is playing power chords or something very simple there is a certain style that he has, not unlike Keith Richards or someone else. Guitar is more than just technique, when you develop technique you begin to see that.
EchoCannon89 1 year ago
@soopanick guitarist lists are absurd, but Garcia is one of The Greats. Gilmour, Knopfler, Hammett are all Masters... but merely Masters! haha. Carlos defines a sound that is historic, but TA has killed some of it's kindness.
Prince, says I, is a better guitarist and than any of these, but like Cobain (whom i say he dwarfs), is better known for other aspects. Most of these owe a Hendrix debt that Jerry doesn't. Threads could be said.

@dennywolfe you can never agree on lists. the point of a list is silly but that's what people do...argue about, "who's better" ...even when the people in question are of different era's and genre's. ...i was only saying that, while still underrated, rolling stone gave jerry garcia his props. i disagree with those who rate cobain as high as he is. i know this is all like arguing about art but still... for example, "In Bloom" that's considered kurt's best. highly overreated if you ask me.

@soopanick in the end its subjective, but u can observe these varied solos objectively and see that steve jordans ideas are the much deeper of the three solos that were performed in this video.

This was a broadcast on Showtime in the late 80's called A Latino Session. The show was at a Ballroom in a hotel in LA. The video was produced by Len Dell'Amico. Check out my page for the highlight of the show, the closer by Ruben Blades with Jerry lifting the roof off the joint.

cada guitarrista tiene un maestro, mas no quiere decir que gracias a ellos sean genios,la unica genialidad de batiz es haber introducido carlos hacia el blues pero de ahi a que santana le deba la vida a javier pues es una idiotez, se imaginan cada guitarrista le deban la vida a otros, cuando eres genio eres genion no importa con quien empiezes a tocar, por batiz nunca hiso nada genial, yo lo vi mas 6 veces, incluso por su ego perdio avandaro
