It's music played by two guys I've seen live allot of over the years. There most recent Warfield show which was my last time there before pandemic blues. John & Melvin are a good fit. John made his name with Dark Star which is when I first seen him live at GAMH and then of course with Furthur.
Back to Georgia Comes Alive a virtual music festival going all day today.
I doubt Jerry's estate gets anything from the name of Melvin's band.
Jerry's name isn't in the band name, and Jerry never called or billed his band as JGB; that's what WE called it. Jerry's band was The Jerry Garcia Band, and Melvin doesn't call his band that.
In this case and at this point, who really cares? Melvin's done a good job keeping that band going and sounding good for what, 15 - 20 years now?
He's got bills to pay, so IMO, as long as the product is good, then good for him.
Like I said, I like the band. In fact they are the last band I saw live this yr. Up in Eureka area on Feb 28th I think. Next day started the shut down.
Like the band a lot. Some of the stuff out there makes me think that people are trying too hard, when I hear this it rings true and has a depth and soul that is not a just cover band. I like them because they create their own goosebumps in places familiar to me.............

But I really hate that he calls it JGB. Blasphemy. I don't care if he played in it.

Well MarkD the estate isn't grumbling. Plus they must get a %.
