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]”.

Gary MuenchJune 29, 2021I was fortunate enough to see all three years of these shows. Hot, sticky fun. and the music was great too! Jerry was having a good time so everyone was having a good time. great outdoor venue at French's camp. Three great years in one box, how can you go wrong?
-
Kerry W BronkJune 24, 2021Absolutely fantastic, great venue, love the unfiltered sounds
-
Eddie GuanajuatoJune 24, 2021First the buzz word of this compilation MUST be “Naked” The recording is clear and clean for all three shows It’s clear to me nearly every song has a Jackie/Gloria “whooo” “yeah” “alright, now” in it. The ladies are clearly having fun, locking in with the band and following Jerry. As an extremist radical Christian, I am I love with Melvin’s sound, groove and feel for the music without loosing his “from the church” touch The rhythm section is on point EVERY… Single… show. If I could bring this to the Lord, he would enjoy it and stop what he is doing and listen again. I especially love the thank you list in the liner notes as the always thank the family especially Steve Parish! May God bless all who read this note. Thanks Jerry et al. I’m glad you are not living during COVID-19 because if it wasn’t for you and the recording of your music, I don’t think I would have made it
-

RobertoDecember 11, 2020Great set of shows. Really provides a valuable look into that era of the JGB, especially wonderful for a Dead Head like myself who was too young to have seen Jerry while he was still alive.
