Warren and co. busted out some special tricks in celebration of Jerry’s birthday last week over at Ives Concert Park in Danbury, CT. Warren gave a nod to the big man by opening the second set with a solo rendition of the quintessential Garcia ballad ‘Stella Blue’. He then welcomed the band back out for a run through the tune he penned about Jerry’s death and legacy – ‘Patchwork Quilt’. Keepin’ the Jerry love flowing, he ran through a rollicking ‘Sugaree’ and topped it all off with a ‘Morning Dew’ encore.
