The Pizza Tapes - Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Tony Rice (Acoustic Disc
ACD 41, April 25, 2000, http://www.dawgnet.com) The infamous "pizza tapes":
urban-legendarily, Jerry Garcia gave a cassette recording of these sessions to
a pizza delivery boy in lieu of a monetary payment for the pizza. Closer to
the truth, someone illicitly acquired a copy of these recording sessions from
1992 and made copies available to the taper's community. These tapes were
traded so much that the sessions were finally released.
New Train - Paul Pena (Hybrid Recordings, 20019) This album was recorded in
1973 and finally released on September 26, 2000. It includes a somewhat
"Bertha"-sounding "Venutian Lady" (4:43) with Jerry Garcia (on pedal steel
guitar) and Merle Saunders. Paul Pena met Jerry Garcia during the Dead's show
at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts on April 20, 1969.

planned for the album, and started twice, but was not included. The disc was
mastered during the last week of August, 2000. Robert Hunter's comment about
the album: "You done me and Jerry proud". A program about the making of this
album, "Persuading the Dead: The Persuasions Sing the Grateful Dead" was
