Pure Jerry: Lunt-Fontanne, New York City, October 31, 1987

~ Release by Jerry Garcia Band (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

4 CD archive release of music from the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band and Jerry Garcia Band matinee and evening shows at Lunt-Fontanne Theater, New York City on October 31, 1987. Comprises complete acoustic and electric sets from each performance.

The soundboard tapes from which this CD package originated were created under far less than ideal, and in certain senses downright intimidating, circumstances. Aside from their main purpose - presenting a gloriously abundant slice of the Jerry Garcia Band's legendary 13 Magical Nights On Broadway - the recordings contained herein also clearly prove the worth of courage, hard work and modern science. Rest assured, as you enjoy this music, it hasn't sounded nearly this good since performed live.
