Welcome to the Grateful Sets search engine for Jerry Garcia Band live performances. Grateful Sets, which initially featured only Grateful Dead shows, now expands to include Jerry's work outside The Dead in his namesake band. While Jerry's solo work is currently chronicled here beginning with 1976, when the "Jerry Garcia Band" was officially born, pre-JGB additions such as Legion Of Mary and Garcia & Saunders are possible future enhancements. Grateful Sets is both richly powerful and intuitively easy to use, diving deep into Jerry's near constant musical forays with an evolving cast of bandmates. Harnessing innovative search capabilities well beyond setlists, Grateful Sets offers Garcia freaks unparalleled journeys through the myriad world of Jerry's musical interests.
Quick searches garner detailed results anywhere from specific songs to entire shows and years, often yielding unexpected and intriguing musical patterns across The Garcia Band's run. Discover the longest gaps between songs or the frequency of a song in a given year, pinpoint the most frequent song pairings, plus much more, through thoroughly displayed, easy to parse data. Grateful Sets generates results beyond simple searching, facilitating unrivaled exploration of Garcia's live solo legacy.
Noteworthy is that while Grateful Dead sets and song patterns have been easily accessible, at least in print, since Deadbase began publishing annual volumes in the mid 1980s, no such data repository existed for Jerry's musical work with his own ensembles. Only later did DeadBase begin including a GarciaBase, and even with the last few editions they only included it every other year. With Grateful Sets, Jerry is given the space his constant and insatiable musical muse deserves.
