Jerry in the Big House - Oregon State Prison 1982
October 25th, 2007 by Pete - - Posted in Acoustic |
There I was, all inspired to hit you with a cool, newly found show (new to me) of Jerry Garcia performing acoustic at Oregon State Prison in 1982 - with John Kahn accompanying him on bass. It’s a soundboard, with killer versions of such tunes as “It Takes a Lot To Laugh (It Takes a Train to Cry)”, “I’ve Been All Around This World”, “Friend of the Devil”, and a bunch of others.
But on a Google image search, I stumpled upon a great site, Cuckoobird.net. Matt beat me by a few months. He posted the show back in February. And poke me with a stick and call me Frank, he still has the show up. Bless his soul.
So I’m posting my favorite of the show here: Bob Dylan’s Elizabeth Cotten’s “Oh Babe It Ain’t No Lie”, which, judging from Matt’s post, is his fave too.
been all around this ol’ round world
and i just got back today

IckArt.com?
It seems the right shape, maybe you can sell it as cover art to one of the indie bands you know?

Very nice picks (the artwork and the tune from the show).
I would highly recommend Reuben & Cherise as well.

Elizabeth Cotten wrote this song, not Bob Dylan
