First-timer to see The Garcia Project – long, long, LONG time JGB/Deadhead. I must admit I had my doubts whether there was any way that another group of musicians could pull off what these guys promise. Well I’m here to tell you that they can – and they certainly DID – with all the heart and soul of the original JGB. Just a few notes into Sugaree and I could close my eyes and was instantly transported back to the day. The longer the show went on, the better they got. I could see “Donna” doing her snake-dance, hear “Keith” pounding the keys, feel “John Kahn” gettin’ down on that bass, hear (and see) “Bill Vitt” with that simple but effective drumming, and most of all, there was “The Fat Man” lovingly playing his guitar like only he could.
It got under my skin so much that I did something I never thought I would ever do again – I got up and did my best to “dance” – you see I was the fat guy in the yellow-and-purple tie-dye with the forearm crutches – due to a crippling spinal cord injury suffered 3 years ago. That was THE most fun I have had since.
Thank you, Garcia Project – thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. I can’t wait until you come back around again. Especially loved the mid-70’s show that you played.
