Each side holds one continuous stretch of live tape, roughly the length of an LP side, rescued from reels where a tape flip, a rough cut or some other technical hiccup kept the show from a full archival release. The reversible artwork gives each side its own cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Heads side travels back to Keystone Berkeley in 1976, capturing the night Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, Garcia's bandmates in the Grateful Dead, made their debut with the group. Irving Berlin's Russian Lullaby gets a gentle, swaying treatment before the traditional Who Was John? kicks up some gospel dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlip it over and it is 1993 at Portland Meadows in Oregon, with Garcia turning to two songs by other great songwriters. Van Morrison's And It Stoned Me unfolds slowly and warmly, and Daniel Lanois' The Maker becomes a long, soulful meditation, the band's organ and backing vocals swelling around his weathered voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo eras and two very different moods share one record, and Deadheads will want to keep it within easy reach of the turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139143082289,"sku":"880882713812","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Jerry_Garcia_Band-Heads_Tails_Vol._2_Purple.jpg?v=1793087728","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/jerry-garcia-band-heads-tails-vol-2-purple","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
