Welcome back for Vol. 2 of “Backstage Jams.”
In case you missed it, Vol. 1 featured Pete Townshend backstage doing a two song mini-set. Today we've got another guitar legend, Jerry Garcia.
It's an intimate video that offers a rare look at Jerry's unique fingerstyle on Crazy Fingers as he warms up in the dressing room before a show.
A beacon of life to those who would just stop by and dance to his music

My only complaint about this one is that like Jerry's life, it's just a little too short and leaves you wanting a whole lot more.
Of course, if you do want more you can always find plenty of Jerry Garcia concert DVDs with the Jamtopia Concert DVD Finder.
Many thanks to lsailor for posting this on YouTube.
Bonus Video: Jerry Garcia Tells a Joke
Here's some more footage of Jerry Garcia backstage, and it's classic.
In the first video, a clearly polluted Jerry claims not to know any jokes. Then, in the next video he's changed his mind and butchers the beekeeper joke (which isn't even funny in the first place).
I'm glad he kept his day job :)
