GarciaLive Volume 13 puts a spotlight on the Jerry Garcia Band’s legendary September ’89 run highlighting the September 16th show at Poplar Creek Music Theatre located in the suburbs of Chicago. Alongside the Jerry Garcia Band – John Kahn, David Kemper, Melvin Seals, Gloria Jones, and Jacklyn LaBranch – there is one BIG addition on saxophone… the Big Man, Clarence Clemons (Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band). While the setlist is fairly standard for the era, Clemons helps the band find new heights on old staples like The Band's “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” The Beatles’ “Dear Prudence" and a pair of Garcia/Hunter originals, “Cats Under The Stars” and “They Love Each Other.” One relative rarity of note is a positively blistering take on The Rolling Stones’ romp “Let’s Spend The Night Together,” dusted off earlier in the year after having been absent since ’76, which closes set one spectacularly. Top to bottom, this one is filled with magic.

What a wonderful choice of songs. Clarence Clemons made knocking on heaven’s door a new song to hear. I have seen Jerry in many forms. Thi is one of my favorites.

I was at this show and Clarence Clemens on Sax this tour was ??. I have soundboard cassette of this show and they did Hope it wouldn’t be this way But it didn’t make this release. I even burned this show on CD and trying to find it.

I have 7 or 8 volumes either on cd or dl and this has to be my favorite so far, seals/clemmons/garcia are in lock step and really blow the top off the place w solos. This is grade a in my book.

Definitely worth owning just for Clarence's saxophone. Sometimes I love the sax, sometimes it's just OK. But it's all fun!

Clarence Clemons fits right in with the band like he had been playing with them for years, and everyone's playing was absolutely top-notch that night. A great song list with great versions of each song, as well. The energy was upbeat and strong. You won't go wrong with this one!

There are a few moments during 'After Midnight' that may be the most exhilarating music I've ever heard captured on a recording. The hairs on your neck will stand up and your mind will tour the universe - Why we got on the bus in the first place.

This is a great recording of a fantastic night at the now closed Poplar Creek Music Theater outside Chicago. Melvin Seals sound particularly great on this recording. Highly recommended!

I have always raved about this concert and how great Jerry sounded. And what an absolute treat and surprise Clarence was. The Big Man was unbelievable. I've listened to the cd repeatedly and am amazed and grateful again and again. Thank You.

The first thing that caught my eye was, Jerry and Clarence, I have loved Bruce and the E street band. I previously saw some you tubes video's of Jerry playing with Clarence. Jerry had a smile year to ear. Don't you just love when you see that.

These cats sound like they have been playing together for years... whew! The caliber of musianship really shows here, the ability of EVERYONE on stage the to read, feel, anticipate(?) where the next turn may be, just oozes throughout this show! Almost jazz fusion, really incredible!
