1. You do realize that the Grateful Dead backed Bromberg on " Wanted Dead or Alive"?

George Harrison did the "The Holdup" with Bromberg. Talk about an intersection of music......

On edit....I totally related to this song.

4. I have been listening to Bromberg since high school.....late 70s

...and I started going to see him live regularly (at least once a month) at that time and throughout the 80s at bars in Chicago, including biddy mulligan's and orphan's. from the time I was 18, I spent most of my weekends at biddy's (it was one of the few bars I could get into at that age) seeing all the greats; buddy guy, Albert collins, Luther Allison, James cotton, etc.....and, of course, Bromberg.

3. BTW, thanks Jerry for playing banjo on this tune.

Reminds me of "Teach Your Children" except Garcia played a totally different instrument.

5. One of my all time favorites. Some great fiddling too.

6. I think he started out with Jerry Jeff Walker

and then Bob Dylan. I have been a fan of Bromberg since the early 1970's, first saw him at the old Roxy Theater in Northhampton, PA. I have heard him described as a "guitarists guitarist." He is extremely talented, in my humble opinion

But Dave got his band together and. holy smokes, they were great.

8. They were great!

All kinds of music...Folk, rock, New Orleans Jazz, blues, country and bluegrass, BIG BAND sounds! And ballads/stories..."Bullfrogs on Your Mind"!! Last time I saw him was several years ago at the Jim Thorpe Opera House.
His version of "Mr. Bojangles" is the best I ever heard--his voice fit the song so well.
