    Notes
  • JGMF: The Roving Gambler: JGJK, Orpheum Theatre, Boston, February 2, 1986
  • review: [negative] Morse 1986; Morse identifies two "40-minute sets that ranged from fairly good to fairly terrible." Continuing: "Garcia was all over the place, hitting a few highs... but some pronounced Jerry-atric lows that not even the presence of that ultimate Dead Head, the Celtics' Bill Walton, could prevent. And as a flatpicker, Garcia was no threat to Doc Watson, though his soul and improvisational ability occasionally saved the program. Still, one expected more from the Captain Trips of the '60s than this." Steve Morse had been covering the Dead steadily for a long time, and this is pretty significant criticism. "Jerry-atric lows" is a well-turned phrase.
