In 1987, Wavy Gravy asked Jerry Garcia<\/a> to play a benefit concert to raise money for his Hog Farm Collective. Garcia agreed, and brought the Jerry Garcia Band to French\u2019s Camp on the Eel River in Piercy, California, a secluded spot three hours north of San Francisco. Garcia broke out Grateful Dead classics, covers like Bob Dylan\u2019s \u201cForever Young,\u201d Van Morrison\u2019s \u201cAnd it Stoned Me\u201d and more.<\/p>\n

It began a five-year Labor Day tradition for the Garcia Band, produced by Bill Graham, where Garcia and his string band would play a set followed by a full-band electric show. The half-acoustic, half-electric format that would become legendary when he took Garcia to Broadway later in 1987 for a residency, \u201cJerry Garcia, Acoustic and Electric,\u201d which captured the full scope of Garcia\u2019s virtuosity.<\/p>\n

The electric sets Garcia performed at those special Eel River shows will be released in a six-CD box set, Electric on the Eel<\/em><\/a>. The set highlights the Eel River electric sets \u2013 including the celebrated 1991 show including searing takes on Chuck Berry\u2019s \u201cYou Never Can Tell\u201d and the Band\u2019s \u201cTwilight\u201d \u2013 the acoustic August 29, 1987 set will be available to fans who purchase it at some independent record stores.<\/p>\n
