Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions
The legendary Mother McCree's finally heard! This recording from a July 1964 Tangent show in Palo Alto, Califronia features the roots of the Grateful Dead: Weir, Garcia and Pig Pen playing in a bluegrass/jug/blues band. Amazingly mastered. This is a treat, with 17 tracks plus an interview with a very young-sounding Jerry and Bobby.
