Jerry Garcia

In March 1980, during the live performance captured in "That's What Love Will Make You Do" at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, Jerry Garcia was in a prolific phase as a solo artist and member of the Jerry Garcia Band. This performance followed the release of the band's self-titled album, "Jerry Garcia," which came out in 1978. By 1980, Garcia was not only continuing to build on his reputation as a masterful guitarist and improviser but was also deeply involved in exploring a variety of musical styles beyond his work with the Grateful Dead. Notably, the Jerry Garcia Band's live shows were characterized by their blend of rock, blues, and funk, allowing the band to showcase Garcia's distinct musical versatility. This period in his career marked a significant branch of his artistic expression, highlighting his ability to connect with audiences outside the larger framework of the Grateful Dead.
