A portion of the Jerry Garcia Band’s performance on June 1, 1981 at The Stone in San Francisco is included as “filler” on the pending installment in Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia’s GarciaLive solo archival series. One of the bonus tracks, a recording of the band’s take on J.J. Cale’s “After Midnight,” has been shared in advance of the June 30 release of GarciaLive Vol. 20.

The bulk of GarciaLive Vol. 20 features the JGB concert held on June 18, 1982, at the Cape Cod Coliseum in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. The filler material, a first for the series, also features Jimmy Cliff’s “Sitting In Limbo,” Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up In Blue” and Garcia’s “Deal.”

Regarding GarciaLive Vol. 20, a description of the release states:

The early ‘80s marked a transitional period for the Jerry Garcia Band. After beginning the decade with the lean and mean quartet showcased on After Midnight and GarciaLive Volume One, Garcia & John Kahn would go on to experiment with personnel configurations expanding the line-up considerably.
By the time the Jerry Garcia Band rolled into the Cape Cod Coliseum co-headliners [with] Bobby & the Midnites, the lineup included Grateful Dead bandmate Bill Kreutzmann (drums), Melvin Seals (organ), Jimmy Warren (electric piano) and Liz Stires and Julie Stafford (backing vocals).

J.J. Cale wrote “After Midnight” and released it in 1966. Eric Clapton’s version recorded on his 1970 self-titled album became among the guitarist’s signature songs. According to JerryBase.com, Jerry Garcia first played “After Midnight” in 1972, and after over 100 performances, dropped it from his live repertoire in 1983.

JGB performing “Valerie” from the Cape Cod show was previously shared. Listen to “After Midnight” from the San Francisco filler tracks below:
