The Incredible !!! ( & Very-1st ! ) J.G.B. 1980 pro-released CD Set !! The Now-Legendary ! 2004 release " After Midnight " !!!!! Offered here is the Truly-Incredible ! & Amazing !! " After Midnight " 3-CD set of the Jerry Garcia Band ' Live ' at Kean College ( Wilkins Theater ) in Union, New Jersey on February 28th, 1980 ( 2/28/1980 ). And as this set was originally advertised ... it is indeed the " First Live East Coast Release Ever " ! Wow ... When I found out about this release close to two decades ago - way back in 2004, I simply could not wait for it to arrive - and then felt like I was in Deadhead-Heaven ( kinda like being at the Warfield, I suppose ... ) when it finally did ! I mean this Spring Tour '80 was Garcia Band at one of its 1st " Greats ", and truly vital forms ! The J.G.B. unit here is stripped down to a bare-boned Quartet & really ready to Rock ! Only Jerry & John along with Ozzie Ahlers on keys & Johnny De Foncesca on the drum kit. This unit not only mastered the essence of the Early-1980's Rock-sound in stylish fashion, but they could really read each other’s moves, moods & timing-signature just like a book ! Ultra-tight musicianship ... and all along, this strength-in-(low)-numbers formula gave Garcia all the open room & musical space he needed to get the most exquisite tones, ampage volumes & rig-effects to match each unique song structure & solo-jamming pockets for the build-up of what became a fantastic & amazing J.G.B. song repertoire. When I was a kid, there was a time when I would not consider going on journeys to shows, or even on short road trips without the cassette tapes from this fabulous show. I thought the After Midnight > Eleanor Rigby > After Midnight was one of the most brilliant, thoughtful & basically genius song-segue transitions that I had ever heard in my life. Mixing J.J. Cale & The Beatles in such an incredibly inspiring musical fashion ??! I mean come on, this material is some of the best ever !! In fact, when I did the very intimate & extremely-special West Coast J.J. Cale Tour back in Spring 2009 ( R.I.P. - J.J. - as there will never be another song-writing ' Guitar-Man ' just like you ! ) - I even brought this one along ( naturally ... ), just for old-time's sake. But really, it had never ever left anyways. So here it all is, in digitally remastered fashion - in all of it's glory. As if you could even think of making this masterpiece of a J.G.B. performance even more perfect than it already was. Well, indeed - it happened... in 2004 ! Just incredibly-awesome sound. This is without question, one of the most smoldering-hot J.G.B. releases we have ever seen to date ... a beyond high-caliber treasure, from that so very-very precious Jerry Garcia Vault.
