BROADCAST OF "KEYSTONE REVISITED" AT SWEETWATER MUSIC HALL ON

THURSDAY JULY 27TH AT 8PM.

Bassist and composer Tony Saunders formed the band Keystone Revisited. Tony's father,

Merl Saunders, played with Jerry Garcia at the Keystone Club in Berkeley in the 1970s.

Tony also played with Jerry and Merl when he was younger. Merl Saunders played the

piano, keyboard and organ.

The Keystone Shows were a series of legendary concerts at the Keystone Club from

around 1973—1975. Jerry and Merl played songs like Jimmy Cliff's The Harder They

Come and Bob Dylan's Positively Fourth Street. The roots of the Jerry Garcia Band can

be found in these shows.

The Keystone Club was a music venue located at 2119 University Ave., one of the main

thoroughfares in Berkeley, on the west side of the campus of the University of

California. It was popular in the 1970s and early 1980s. It closed in 1984. It was

previously known as the New Monk. There was also a Keystone Club in Palo Alto.

With this Keystone Revisited show on July 27, the Jerry Garcia Foundation will be

launching the Virtual Jerry Garcia Art/Archive Museum.

The archive includes photographs of Maxell tape cassettes of live Jerry Garcia

recordings, including one from a show at the Keystone in Palo Alto in May of 1979.

The archive also has a recording of Jerry and Merl playing Marvin Gaye's What's Going

On at the Keystone in January of 1975.

Some of the Keystone Shows include: May 24, 1973; Mar 9, 1974; Nov 2, 1974; Jan

21/22, 1975; and May 6, 1975. The 1973 Keystone Companions album is also

recommended.

Please join the broadcast, live at 8PM on River Theater Radio, 95.1FM.
