Luckily, I have a few of them in my possession. One of them is an OLD AND IN THE WAY tape from Sonoma State College, CA. 1973. The tape includes the songs from the album as well as other country tunes. The quality of the recording is good but a little bassy. I too like country Dead. Jerry on banjo or pedal steel is the best.

A. Cowboy Drifting too Far From Shore Inside the Pearly Gates Knockin on Your Door Uncle Pen High Lonesome Just a Tramp on the Street Waiting for a Train Midnight Moonlight Orange Blossumm Special Also, I have a New Riders tape from the Fillmore 4/28/71 that has Jerry on pedal steel which is a soundboard tape. They do a lot of NRPS songs from their first album. Some of the highlights include - I Don't Know You; Down in the Boondocks; Garden of Eden; Connection; Henry; The Weight; Last Lonely Eagle; Louisiana Lady; Fun, Fun, Fun; and Honky Tonk Women. Another tape is a NRPS & Dead concert from 1974. Some of the songs include - Swing Low, Sweet Chariot; Henry; Glendale Train; The Race is On; Truck Driving Man; Take a Letter Maria; and Cold Jordan. They are both of very good quality. In addition, I have a Wildwood Boys tape from August 1963 with Dave Nelson and Garcia where the do 3 or 4 country tunes. Also, a 1967 radio show of Garcia on pedal steel, Weir, and Chippolina where they play two country tunes such as "Pins and needles". Also, a Jerry and Sarah Garcia duet with Jerry on banjo from Palo Alto, CA April 1963. It contains 10 minutes of country tunes. I'm sure there are many others out there but that is all I have. Bluegrass and country Dead are some of the finest music around. I wish Jerry pulled out the banjo or pedal steel these days. But, the chance of that happening is unfortunately remote.
