I know that the 4-10-82 shows (early and late) were the only shows that Jerry performed alone on stage. If you go back to the article with elvis costello (i think) and jerry that was posted a couple weeks ago, jerry talks about how he diidn't like the feel of being on stage by himself. these shows were at the capitol theatre in passaic nj

krzykat I know that already. Thats why I said at a DEAD show lol. I was told during a dead show for some reason he played one song by himself on stage. I already knew about the solo Jerry show. He couldve been wrong though. And he already knew about the solo Jerry show as well because he was there taping it lol

i love the album

Garcia Plays Dylan

favs are:
Tough Mama (beautiful, one of the best dyaln covers in my opinion)
It Take a Lot to Laugh
Baby Blue
Wicked Messenger
tangled up in blue

let me rephrase . . . i have never heard of Jerry playing any songs with noone else on stage during a Grateful Dead concert.

(wise ass LOL)

I am not the biggest fan of the deads cover of memphis blues. I really don't think bob was good at singing that one. But i can't get enought baby blue.
