Agreed... some of Jerry's finest guitar work ("Laughing") and vocals ("Loser") were from the 1970 PERRO Sessions (Planet Earth Rock And Roll Orchestra) with David Crosby, and their work on David's incredible 1971 solo album "If I Could Only Remember My Name."
Wow. I thought I've heard all of Jerry's records. Never heard about this before. It's great. I once saw David at a Dead who trying to blend in, smoking a J. It was funny b/c at that time I believe he was on probation for smoking pot or something. It think it as in LA around `89 or so....
My best friend in high school came back from SF to Ohio with the P.E.R.R.O. sessions on cassette in 1999. I've been listening to it ever since and just now realized the story behind the 1970-1971 sessions. This is still some of the best music around 40 years later.
This is a great post. to me the Holy Grail is listening to Jerry trying to teach one of his songs.Has anyone heard the rehearsals for "So many Roads"? I've always wanted to hear Jerry teach on the piano. Strange but cool A nice window into his true musical gifts. The song is great too, love the cello and the acoustic, and that young soft clear voice is pure gold. Thank you for enabling us to enjoy this truly unique moment.
Too bad they never recorded a finalized version of this song. The version of "Loser" on Garcia's first solo album could have used David Crosby on harmony vocals and twelve-string guitar and Phil on the bass. And the cello is a nice touch, too. It's hard to complain when there are so many amazing live Dead versions of the song, though.
Thx for posting love hearing Jerry like the way he's taking them through the song great guess i'm doing something right i hum most of the songs i'm doing caus' i dont know the words lol
vocals on the bridge are transcendental
