Melvin and JGB

Forums:

So, Melvin came around locally last night to this sweet lil old church turned venue in Roanoke, VA.. Only holds about 250 people and was sold out.

It was a great show!!!! I slid my way up front and found a cozy space in front of Melvin (he gave me big smiles all night smiley).. anyway, my point is ~ this Zach Nugent guy is pretty amazing and they are sounding real good (last time I saw them post-Jerry many years ago, it was NOT a good show lol)..

Thanks, Scarlet, glad you went. It sounds like fun! I have heard great things about Zach Nugent but haven't seen him live.

 

That could be another good show, Woz. You guys do get the music!

It looks like it should be a good one. Hoping they play 3/4/88, that was the only “It’s No Use” in the 80s. Fun show....

I believe there was more than just one It's No Use in the 1980's 

Awesome Scarlet! Thanks for this.

We are really looking forward to Melvin's return to Long Island this July at the Great South By Music Fest. He hasn't played here since 1989.

Here is one I caught in 1982 really good show

I am too, Judit! The music was great, the crowd was vibin' and the venue is so cozy (I admit I was also trying to catch Zach's eye as he's some nice eye candy cheeky)

Woz it was a total rarity and that was the only time I saw Jerry play it. Below is another

Jerry Garcia Band: It Ain't No Use 2-10-81 Bushnell

I saw them in Columbus a couple weeks ago...or maybe last week...who knows?  It was great, and Zach Nugent is the shit.  He nailed everything and then some.  

I'm glad they're still tearing it up.

Love Melvin and JGB!

 

would love to see the dude lose some weight though so he can stick around a while, looks like pizza the hut on shrooms 

 

 

damn i was just getting ready to post the same thing!

check out this jerry set from R.I. 1991 . the close up this person catches of him plus the vivration is classic . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1s27MbWTTYw  second set must be there

That sounds like an awesome time, not a lot of places that small with that quality of live music these days.  Glad you were there Scarlet!
