Electric on the Eel celebrates the Jerry Garcia Band’s 3 beloved, biannual performances at French’s Camp on the Eel River in Piercy, CA: August 29, 1987; June 10, 1989; and August 10, 1991. The events were co-presented by Bill Graham Productions and the Hog Farm which, as producer & Hog Farmer Bob Barsotti describes "lent them an air of familiarity not always present in the urban settings in which Jerry usually played.” The audience and band both delighted in the free spirited and fun-filled atmosphere, setting the stage for 6 magical sets of music featuring the quintessential JGB line-up: Garcia, John Kahn (bass), Melvin Seals (organ), David Kemper (drums), Gloria Jones (vocals) and Jacklyn LaBranch (vocals).
The collection features several unreleased rarities including the seldom performed “See What Love Can Do”, “Twilight”, “Lazy Bones”, and “I Hope It Won’t Be This Way Always.” Other rarities from the release include “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love”, “Struggling Man”, “Lay Down Sally” and “You Never Can Tell [C’est La Vie]”.

Steve ArmstrongOctober 21, 2022There's always room for more from "Spudboy"and friends. Pass the gravy, GROOVEY !!! Got a ride from Angels Camp for these shows.

R BuitSeptember 27, 2022Anybody looking to add to their Jerry collection ought to purchase this release. There will be no disappointment. Classic late Jerry years. Some familiar jams mixed with less common takes of great songs. The 6 minute jam on the last song of this release is worth the price alone. This could be the miracle you've been waiting for.....

Chester SemanickJune 10, 2022I was at the August 29, 1987 and the June 10, 1989 shows, awesome memories and beautiful music dancing to Jerry's guitar playing. So I had to get this cd set so I can dance to the music and re-live those memories listening to the shows. Thank you so much for these recordings. I miss Jerry but I can still enjoy his music. Thanks again for these recordings. Peace and Love-- Chester Semanick

MerrittMarch 21, 2022What a great set of shows! Having seen several concerts at this venue myself, I can say that these are of the highest quality for a live performance recording. Takes me back to standing in the Eel river in summer, while music drifts through that canyon.
