What album is this from? Thanks much.
but there are 3 albums with this song on it by Jerry. A search of Amazon for Jerry Garcia Spike Driver Blues should bring up 3 f them.
There is a very good version on the pictured album (which is totally good as well.
I think the Nils Lofgren Acoustic Live album was used in some audiophile samplers - kept having it offered up for sampling speakers in stores

As I replied to geezerocket below, Garcia had an album of near bluegrass, "Old And In The Way" which was all acoustic. That was successful enough that a follow up was done.

Great acoustic recording w/ Garcia. Another good one is "The Pizza Tapes".
I've made arrangements to buried with my Taylor Limited Edition (200 made). Too bad I cant play well enough to deserve it. I love well played acoustic guitar.
Garcia and David Grisman did half a dozen or so acoustic albums together covering folk, bluegrass, and some jazz.
The Grateful Dead also did an all acoustic tour in 1980 and then released a live acoustic album called Reckoning. It's probably my favorite Dead album.
quite a number of times. Saw Garcia when he and David Nelson were playing the coffee houses in Palo Alto circa 1963 or so. Saw him and wife Sara at same coffee houses. Always loved his banjo music immensely, not to mention the pedal steel stuff with Marmaduke and the New Riders.
His pedal steel weighed about 60 pounds, it took 3 of us a long while to haul it up the 220 steps to my cabin in La Honda so he and Marmaduke could play together thru my Altec A-7 speakers.
In 1965 the Dead played a party at my previous home in Loma Mar Ca....
David Grisman and Jerry Garcia must have been amazing to hear live.
Old and in the way is wonderful my favorite is "Not for Kids Only" all three of my sons heard this many times as a baby. Fine memories.
Have Fun and Enjoy the Music
"Still Working the Problem"
my offering: Hendrix in a rare (considered to be his only acoustic recording) presentation of "Hear my train a'coming". Brilliantly captured in wide screen 16mm

At a recent show at the Filmore I was reminded by this poster of the Experience's first appearance in California if not the US that I attended. This show preceded the US release of the "Purple Haze" single by a week or so and at least a month before the release of the LP "Are You Experienced." The group was essentially unknown here.
I was fortunate to have already had a sold out copy of the Polydor monaural LP sent to me from London. I had transferred the LP to an 8-track tape to play in my VW.
Obviously, Bill Graham hadn't heard of the bands overpowering success in Great Britain and not taking a chance, third billed them. They opened the show with less that two hundred or so attending and before Gabor Szabo and Big Brother And The Holding Company (a last minute replacement for the Airplane).
By the weekend it was a sold out who's who of San Francisco's then, underground rock scene. What a trip!
I was reeling watching that clip..... Thank you.
