Last night’s fun at Great American Music Hall was a Community Throw-down from David Nelson and some of his buds. Regrettably I missed the opportunity to catch some of the truly great songs in the first set cause I was having fun dancing! But here’s the tail end of Set 1, and most of set 2:
Garden of Eden
Have (Michael Falzarano Song)
Dead Flowers
Prisoner of Freedom
Higher Than I’ve Ever Been
(Johnny Markowski Song)
David Nelson has been away from performing for over a year, dealing with some health issues. Last night he returned gloriously to the stage, with the full David Nelson Band!
It was a California Kind show, which features Barry Sless, Pete Sears and John Molo (all 3 also of of DNB), as well as Rob Barraco and Katie Skene.
The show became a benefit for the fire recovery efforts, and then it was announced that David Nelson would be sitting in, and Mookie Siegel would also be joining, making the DNB line up complete.
In the clip above Wavy Gravy introduces David and you can hear the emotion in the crowd! David is very happy to be playing once again, and they launch into rousing “Rocky Road Blues”

Read all about it here: Philly.com 1987:
– Guitar genius Jerry Garcia has just recorded his first commercial for Levi’s jeans, “basically as a favor to my friends who got the gig,” he half apologizes. “Don’t worry. The Dead wouldn’t want get involved in a corporate sponsorhip… And I had nothing to do with that Ben and Jerry’s business.”
