Flashback to Reconstruction.

Don`t know what i would do without it.

And he did as a solo artist!

He was more sober than his typical - makes a huge difference - you can tell he's sober here, honestly

Yes, Jerry was certainly in very good form here. Carlos, of course, is amazing---as always.

Well Jerry really was second to none. I’ve heard them all and always come to Jerry.

Tiger was smouldering on that solo! Gotta love Jerry.

I love Garcia's sound. He has a very eclectic form of playing and can even play everything from folk to country to jazz and rock. Carlos is on fire in this concert. Absolutely fantastic.

People never credit Jerry as a good jazz player when truth is he could play jazz very well. He loved jazz and this is displayed mainly on the Blues For Allah GD album. His solo work on the track King Solomon's Marbles is outstanding. That whole album is fantastic.

Jerrys father was a jazz musician

Dude, shut it = this isn't jazz and only idiots think Improvising automatically equals "Oh this must be jazz!" - shut up

This isn’t Jazz and Jerry wasn’t a jazz musician… but you’re right that this music is nowhere near outside Jerry’s capabilities or genre . It’s the easiest groove to jam to in fact . Just a few chords and syncopated drums . It’s simple .

Jerry had EARS. A lot of people play well, but they do not all have EARS.

He was also an accomplished banjo player, which is part of what makes him so interesting to me.

One should NEVER dose another without permission. It's just not right, nor fair. Besides, you might have just wasted that hit, you shit. Just sayin'.

Agree! Jerry was inspired by the moment to deliver that rippin' solo!

Some of his late JGB solos in 1993 were unlike anything he'd ever played. He continued to get better until he finally just burnt out. Never forget knowing my last show in Vegas 95, would be the last time I'd see him. "Unbroken Chain" was quite a send off.

What's crazy is I've been a deadhead since i was 15 and im 26 and this is my first time seeing this. The music never stops

Funny thing is ive rewatched this several times, i never realized jers 1st solo 13:16 was him bc he was patched into a more carlos distortion sound, ive always just picked up on the 2nd solo, but that 1st,wow, thats probably the most fuzz metal ive ever heard jer play thru and wow, he shreds metal like a champ!

Neither can I. It's probably all them shrooms for me! Keep on truckin'!

@@hughsolorz5184 Shrooms are so fun and therapeutic how the hell does someone ever make that illegal????

Happy trails all!

@@HunnySanchez Who gives a shit they weren't enlightened to hear a real master.

Could not agree more.Rolie gave him the initial confidence ( and remains a great chum) but for me , Chester brought the best out of Carlos. Bit of a mystery as to what happened (suddenly ) but the trade offs and mutual understanding was there for all to see.

@@garylove5475 I was lucky enough to see him play w/Santana for the 1999 tour, in Atlanta - amazing show, magical . Ive seen Santana many times over the years , each show a little different from the last , all good , nonetheless. That night in 1999 it was the epitome of a Santana show.

Like you seen them more times than I can remember, but one stand out show was London Albert Hall circa 83 played a lot off Zebop, Marathon with Ligertwood nailing Lightning in the Sky and the usual classics.

Chester is awesome on keys, but so was Tom Coster. And in my opinion, the Lotus years was the best of Santana.

Agree with that John, Tom Coster was and at 80 still is a great player. Think his first album for Santana was Amigos succeeding Richard Kermode Rip. Liked the Lotus period a lot and still play the much forgotten and publicly maligned Welcome collection. Other fav for me is Oneness.

Him and Santana played a lot together ESP on moonlights at the jam Sammy Hangar and Elvis Costello wold jam there also.

Brothers being the keyword

I said the same. They were having a complete conversation on stage with guitars without saying a word. You can see Jerry say , I got this and Carlos looks around, takes a few steps towards Jerry and sez , I hear Ya. I’m all in. 💪 Simply Amazing.

My favorite guitarist of all time, Jerry My favorite living guitarist, Carlos

Viva Garcia y Santana!

@@stevewales9911 Jerry just had that unique eclectic sound when soloing and his chords and style especially on songs like King Solomon’s Marbles and Eyes of the World were like a jazz style.

@@stevewales9911 Ole!

He was in a really good place in his life. It all came crashing down the next year when Brent Mydland passed away. 😔

He was during this time period. Jerry was really feeling good here. Couple years later not as much

Watch the video footage Duke University 78. He was high kicking and windmilling his way to glory that night.

Jerrys smile is awesome. In his place jamming away.

Yup thats why we love jerry. Jerry blessed many people with a good time

Jerry discovered Santana. 🎸

So say we all, brother .....

I thought the exact same thing! First solo I was like, “what is that tone I’ve never heard before?” Second solo was vintage Jerry.

🤣

hahhaaaaa....very astute sir

people were having way too much fun back in the day

Not if Chester Thompson was playing, ....like here, in this video. WTF? No mullet about it, the guy was a complete master musician! And btw, Mullet is great tasting fish , when smoked over oak coals!

I have shoes like that i only wear to shows!

😂😂😂

thanks king

Thx for the advice

15:52, jerry comes in as a savior

GFalls moved to bypass Rock Hill, I know you rider…

I am well thanks for asking Glad you enjoyed the music my channel is all about the music.

@@dang143: Music and memories are what I have left. Some of the best include the Dead, Santana and Love, Devotion, and Surrender. Carlos and John McLaughlin trading licks was otherworldly. I suggest it if you haven't heard it.

I noticed those shoes right away!

These guys ripping it up… in front of a Marriott or something corporate retreat! I hope the people know what’s going on.

Let me guess…outer mission, excelsior?

Check out Jerry's work on Estimated Prophet from 7/8/78 at the Red Rocks, the sound is similar to this jam but Jerry takes it waaay out into space !!

From talking to a friend who was at that show, Duncan clearly won THAT shootout. He smoked Carlos AND Jerry. I wish I'd been there!

@@igrowhigher I was at all four of the Oakland Halloween run & Duncan practically blew Carlos off the stage. Jerry's smile was epic. That's why Duncan came back for 10/31 & made that second set what it was. I was on Jerry's side on two hits of great acid & extremely close. Waited in line on my ass for hours to get those general admission seats. One of the best of the 80 or shows I saw. That Kesey rap with Phil thumping away. What a setlist. Gary Duncan's Dark Star licks were sublime. The energy was cosmic. Very healing evening after losing Bill so tragically. "Werewolves" encore was the shit!!!! Obviously, much better than JGB 10/31/92 Oakland. I saw every bay area show in '91 except for 12/31. 12/30 was better anyway. Both Shoreline runs were also superb. I loved Springs 5/12/91 soooo much. The breakout of C.C. Rider>Train To Cry show. I was a senior in High School & flew up from Diego for that run (Thanks Mom!) Did most of Summer '91 & saw Eel River & Squaw too. 1991 was such a blast. IMO, the band's last hoorah. No one could ever replace Brent...and Jerry knew it. Vince sounded like he was playing a cheesy Casio.
