Az 1979-es San Rafael-i KPFA-FM rádiós koncert teljes anyaga.
Here’s a rare treat, a concert by the last band featuring Jerry Garcia with Merl Saunders, Reconstruction. This band was founded by bassist John Kahn with Merl, and Garcia participated when he was available. This is the only band I’m aware of where Jerry was more of a side man than the main attraction. This concert from Rancho Nicasio in San Rafael was recorded by KPFA-FM in Berkeley in March 1979, and may or may not have been broadcast at that time or a later date.
Garcia, Saunders, and Kahn would go on to create some pretty phenomenal music in various combinations over the early part of the decade, accompanied by Vitt, Bill Kreutzman, Martin Fierro, Tom Fogerty, The Hawkins Family, Tower of Power horns, and a variety of others. The trio also helped lay down a pair of Merl Saunders solo albums, released on the Fantasy Records imprint; Fire Up and Heavy Turbulence would provide a couple of songs for the Reconstruction repertoire a few years down the road.
