Home for the Holidays, a two night celebration of Jerry Garcia kicked off on Friday night at the Capitol Theater. The two nights featured a super-charged version of the Jerry Garcia Band including Oteil Burbridge on bass and vocals, Tom Hamilton on guitar and vocals,Melvin Seals on keyboards, B3 organ, and vocals, Duane Trucks on drums, Jacklyn LaBranch on vocals and Lady Chi on vocals.

The first night at the Cap featured Melvin and the all-star cast jamming on Jerry and Dead tunes over two jam-packed sets. The tribute also featured some common JGB covers like the Beatles’ “Dear Prudence,” Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue” and “Knockin’ on Heavens Door.” There was also a cover of the more modern tune from Father John Misty — “Only Son of a Ladiesman” from 2012.
