The "Pure Jerry" series vol. 1:

Jerry Garcia Band at Theatre 1839, S.F., 7/29+30/77

The first "Pure Jerry" release is "Theatre 1839." This three-disc set was recorded July 29 & 30, 1977, at a small San Francisco music hall during a break in the Dead's touring. The Jerry Garcia Band of the day included Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, John Kahn and Ron Tutt. Running almost 2 1/2 hours, "Theatre 1839" features the 18 best performances captured during the two-night run. (Neither show was recorded in its entirety, reasons for which have been lost to time.)
