Description: Jerry Garcia - Legion Of Mary : The Jerry Garcia Collection - Vol. 1 - Legion of Mary : 1974 - 1975 ' Live ' : 2 CD : 2005 (1974-1975/2005) Jerry Garcia Estate, LLC / Rhino ( JGE / Rhino ) : ' Original ! ' First ( 1st ! ) U.S. Printing - Rhino ( R2 74692 ) : Out of Print & Very-Rare !!! Jerry Garcia's 1974 - 1975 " Legion of Mary ! " Band performing ' Live ' at The Great American Music Hall ( San Francisco, CA ) ... Keystone - Berkeley ( Berkeley, CA ) ... & Paramount Theatre ( Portland, OR ) !!!!! Legion of Mary, what a Fantastic Band ! during its way too short lived Mid-70's time ! This project was rooted not only in Jerry Garcia's pure love for music, and increasing desire to focus on additional solo ( non-Grateful Dead ) projects - but probably even more importantly ... his close friendship & musical brotherhoods with talented keyboardist Merl Saunders, and of course John Kahn. This fine L.O.M. project blossomed during an interesting era for Garcia, as the Grateful Dead had just played their potentially final " Farewell Shows " in October of 1974. And as a result, Jerry's addiction to playing music - and playing it live resulted in an immediate staffing up of a great solo-project band. This talent-packed unit was comprised of Jerry, and two of his closest friends in both Merl Saunders & John Kahn - Ron Tutt ( from the Elvis Presley Band ) who was in charge of the tight-timekeeping duties on Drums, and the fancy-fingered lead & rhythm grooves were delivered on the saxophone by Martin Fierro. From an electric-music standpoint, if the Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders Band beginning in 1972 was technically the 1st form of the " Jerry Garcia Band ", then this 5-man Quintet was certainly the 2nd. It would in fact be the inaugural ( non-Grateful Dead ) electric Quintet that Jerry Garcia had staffed-up. The sound & tones of this unit are pure enjoyment, as you can certainly hear the musical genius backing it. Outside of this '74-'75 Legion of Mary band & the " Reconstruction " project in '79 to follow, Jerry was always the clear-cut leader of the band ( especially in the " Jerry Garcia Band " from 1976-95 ) - but what you have here is Jerry being more a " part " of a great well-rounded band. And though he is still the obvious front-man, it is much more of a collective & sharing of the mutual musical duties role. The versions they deliver on this 2-CD Set are a lot of historic cover songs that stand on their own regardless of who is playing them. However, it is their unique and almost uncanny ability to make this material their own - out of pure respect for the music & its creators ... that make these live deliveries extra-special. A pure passion & respect for these songs just glows, as does their fondness for playing it live to others in the audience who are delighted to hear it. You get hints of Elvis - Chuck Berry - Dylan - The Band - you name it ... and this brilliant unit could even impress those who wrote the songs, with their thoughtful & inspiring deliveries. It is safe to say that the Legion of Mary era was indeed short, but sweet. So very-sweet ... And thankfully, this fine release does indeed capture them at their very best. I hope you'll love this amazing Legion of Mary release just as much as I have. Enjoy !!!
