Warren Haynes & The Avett Brothers Recreate 1986 Jerry Garcia Band Show

One night after Warren Haynes teamed with a band of all-star musicians for the first of two Dear Jerry: Let’s Play 2 concerts, he finished the run by recreating a Jerry Garcia Band show from 1986 with The Avett Brothers.

This Is 30 saw Haynes and the Americana outfit treat a crowd at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia to performances of the same songs the JGB played at The Stone in San Francisco, California on October 18, 1986. The original Jerry Garcia Band concert took place weeks after the Grateful Dead front man first returned to the the stage following a diabetic coma.

Warren and The Avett Brothers worked through the 12 songs the JGB played on October 18, 1986 as their main set last night. Haynes and the band mixed Jerry originals such as “Run For The Roses” and “Deal” with a bevy of covers from the likes of Van Morrison (“And It Stoned Me”), Bob Dylan (“Forever Young,” “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” and “Tangled Up In Blue”), Jimmy Cliff (“The Harder They Come”) and The Beatles (“Dear Prudence”).

The Gov’t Mule front man and The Avett Brothers returned for a four-song encore of JGB live repertoire staples. Up first was “Mission In The Rain,” which was followed by “Reuben & Cerise,” “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” and the evening’s fourth’s Bob Dylan cover, “I Shall Be Released.”

Next up for The Avetts is a visit to Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on October 28, while Gov’t Mule kicks off a short run at College Street Music Hall in New Haven on October 28.
