Pure Jerry: Marin Veteran's Auditorium, San Rafael, California - February 28, 1986

The setting is the wonderful 2,000-seat Marin Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael, the last of 12 acoustic shows John and Jerry played that winter. It'd been a solid tour, with sold-out concerts in a number of cool East Coast venues. But this was a hometown show - literally - so the air was both relaxed and festive. The twelve songs collected here on a single disc are the complete two-set show from that night, nearly 70 minutes of music; a nice blend of old folk tunes, a Dylan number and Hunter-Garcia classics. Particularly noteworthy in that last category are the epic "Bird Song" and rockin' "Run for the Roses." Soundboard copies of this show have not been in circulation before.
