Originals by Bob Dylan, then covered by Jerry Garcia in a solo band.

Jerry Garcia performed in well over 4000 live concerts during his decades as a musician, about half of the shows in The Grateful Dead, the rest in other projects.  Jerry's solo career spanned almost the entire existence of The Grateful Dead and his repetoire was truly massive.

I began the 'Jerry Covers Project' a couple of years ago and am featuring Jerry's solo cover material (but not all of it), in a similar fashion to a Grateful Dead covers special I produced.  This means that you'll hear the originally recorded version of the song and then Jerry performing it with one of his side groups.

Generally, I emphasize the early-mid 1970s era, but won't stay there. I have already done two jazz and two funk/soul shows. You can see the playlists and hear the audio from (almost) all previous iterations of this special on my website.

Today's show will be the Bob Dylan portion of the special and will include both frequently played and rare covers.
