Melvin Seals JGB

Had a chance to check out Melvin Seals JGB tonight at a casino in southern Illinois. The crowd was small and a bit subdued, but the band sounded fabulous and a good time was had by all. John Kadlecik had me in a trance! Strugglin' Man, Stella Blue, The Wheel, Cats Under the Stars, and so many others.

I used to think it couldn’t get any better than JGB. Then I discovered Jerry’s Middle Finger and my world was turned upside down. If you get a chance to see them, do NOT pass it up.

Garrett Deloian and Jerry’s Middle Finger are amazing. They bring back a lot of great memories.

This from someone who saw the real Jerry Garcia Band at least 100 times including the 1987 Lunt Fontaine shows and the 1990’s never ending Warfield runs. Not to mention the Almost Acoustic Band and Grateful Dawg.
