Oh My Garcia ! - Dylan ! & Grateful Dead ! Fans !!! ... what an Incredible ! 2-CD release here !!  Totally-brilliant ...  Someone ( the powers that be ) had the great sense in 2005 to put together a compilation of Jerry Garcia masterfully covering Bob Dylan songs ... Live !!!  I guess this is long-overdue, when you really think about it - but the important thing is that it happened.  And in Grand Fashion !  For many Fans of both Dylan & Garcia, over the last 60+ years there is a very good chance that one of these Musical Masterminds ! led you to the ' other ' Musical Mastermind ! - or visa-versa.  Thank goodness they decided to haul it together as a unit way back in '86 & '87 and take it into the Studio, then on the Road - U.S. Tour Style !!!  There were only a handful Shows - just about a dozen, but the fruits of their collective labor was groundbreaking for not only live Rock 'n Roll ! -- and for their individual Spirits !!  Jerry was a loud & proud fan of Dylan, and portrayed a magical, musical ' tribute ' just about every single time he plugged-in live.  Bob created the legendary music & song-writing, and Jerry would so elegantly paint the colorful brush-strokes - as the talented artist he was.  While Jerry would speak with his guitar, whether it was live in a Stadium, Amphitheatre, Hockey-Rink, or even the cozy Warfield Theatre ... Dylan took his admiration for Jerry even a step further stating it in words : as he was actually quoted ( in '95 ) as saying " Jerry Garcia is the Ultimate Interpreter of My Songs.".  There is really no higher complement, coming from Dylan himself who really has no song-writing equal, and probably never ever will - especially from the ' volume ' standpoint.  I'll never forget seeing the picture of Dylan at Jerry's funeral in the San Francisco Chronicle, as it was one of the saddest looks I myself have ever seen.  Obviously, as it goes without saying there was a very-special musical brotherhood here with these two geniuses.  To me personally, Dylan is the master of words, music & the song, and Jerry is the master of both the acoustic & electric guitar, and the vocal emotion he can covey is surreal, powerful & truly unmatched.  And even as Dylan said too about Garcia ... ' Moody '.  Wow ... So-well said.  I was fortunate enough to be at the Oakland Coliseum with one of my best friends in the whole world on this 10/31/92 Halloween night included here in this 2-CD Set when Jerry made his ' Triumphant Comeback ' and kindly asked us all " So ... How Have Y'all Been ?!! ".  Then the " Tangled Up In Blue " from this release was eventually played with all of the J.G.B. excellence we loved & respected - but never-ever took for granted.  To me, that was one of my favorite days of my life - and at that time, it seemed like it was really one of Jerry's favorite days ever too.  Yet another " Triumphant Return ! ", but this one just seemed something special - as you could truly feel it in the air throughout the Oakland Coliseum.  Back on the stage with all his Band mates, Friends & Fans plugged-in electric-  in the Bay Area interpreting & delivering the Bob Dylan goods.  Just legendary stuff here my friends ... Enjoy !!!!
