The personnel on this recording include: Jerry Garcia, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, David Crosby, Paul Kantner, David Freiberg, Mickey Hart, Grace Slick, Graham Nash, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Spencer Dryden.

The Mountain Song showed up late '80s on Paul Kantners "Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra" LP. Still only on LP, never released on CD.
There are 3 albums with this lineup. David Crosby-If I could only remember my name. KantnerJA etc.-Baron von tollbooth & Blows against the empire. All three are excellent although not as Crosbyish as this & the first. Check them out if you can find them. maybe vinyl only-Vinyl still rules!
Please leave this up a while. Great recordings. BTW--Please don't let this site go away. I am a high school teacher and we stream this site in my biology classroom whenever I am not lecturing. Now you have the kids depending on you! Don't let down the children! Thanks for the tunes....

Whoa. These sessions blow my mind. The mountain song alone will captivate me at all hours. It makes me so happy to know that many other people find these songs so beautiful. I am looking for a hard copy of the PERRO tapes or to talk about this amazing music. Dancs01@yahoo.com

When I try to listen, I get a message that this file is unreadable. Suggestions??? Thanks, Billy In Santa Cruz
WOW...this is such an amazing compilation of talent...Melodic, Harmonic, Mysitic and and downright a pleasure to listen to! Makes the hair on the nape of my neck stand up to think about such an instrumental group of musicians getting together to do something that they truely lived for at the time! I would love to see about getting a copy to enjoy on the go! Your site rocks...the word is spreading my friend!
Is this part of the BLOWS AGAINST THE EMPIRE sessions? This is really great. thank you Norm K.
My God this is good stuff. Is it possible to get a hard copy of this material? Wall song is amazing with jerry jamming to that excellent rhythm.
found this and it made me love life listened to it over and over again such an amaaazing recording thanks a shitload for sharing
This is a beautiful recording a real relic of simpler times... My version of this is two discs, The first of which you have posted, and the second includes Neil Young, and seems to have a different variety of musicians, im not sure if its the same session, does any one know
Re: strings....David Freiberg played viola on these sessions as confirmed on Stephen Barncard's (producer) website
like a warm blanket ;)
WHo's the fiddle (or viola? cello?) player?
how sweet it is thanks bilbo killer mountains jam!!!
I want people to come hang out at my house and jam like this!
I listen to this set all the time and it withstands the test of time. It's still raw and fresh. Remember to support organ donor awareness,donate blood if they'll take yours,and ALWAYS QUESTION AUTHORITY.Enjoy this wonderful set and Never Trust A Drummer-Rob
I have a copy of the perro tapes at 192 kbps CBR, just send me an email if you would like to arrange for me to let you dl them or get it to you though some means
very free and easy. Love this!
Americana at it's best.
This is a great concert, I loved every moment !! I wish that this concert would be considered being added to the Dick's Picks !! Thank you !!! Burntbruce
Finally figured out how to listen to this (it doesnt work on a left cick). Brilliant - I heard there was 4 hours of this material circulating. It is close to Crosby's "REMEMBER MY NAME" and Kantner's "BLOWS". Classic, thanks!
Outstanding music. Tom
incredble listening can hear which songs are davids, stevens and jerrys
Into a cold german winter this brings lots of californian sun..lightens up my whole day - thanks.
yum.
what a treat! thanks for providing this, it's extra special. :o)
all i's know is that i wanna make the mounatins be my home! and i want that playing while i'm there walking around looking for thinks to pick off of plants and eat
wow! your listening to the grateful dead and csny's history ufolding in your ears. Give anything to be a fly on the wall that day.
Amazing set. Totally blew me away.
simply incredible is an understatement
Interesting recording. A historic gem. Worth a listen.
Added info: Perro, or P.E.R.R.O. stands for Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra. Yes, Jerry is on those takes. If you're interested in hearing more from those sessions, get your hands on the Jerry import album titled "Mountain Song." It's got a few of these songs, as well as some other fun stuff. The sound quality isn't spectacular, but interesting early stuff to listen to.
Wow!
This is amazing. I'd love to have my own copy.
Gracie Slick, Paul Kantner and Jorma were at these sessions at Heider's studio as well. Circulating as the Perro tapes. Great feel, good acoustic sound. --Sean
