Jake's Leg

To say they copy the Dead would be a mistake. They tend to interpret the songs and try to put their own stamp on the music, spiritually and musically. For instance, Dave Casper’s lead solos pay homage to Jerry Garcia, but also Pat Metheny, Carlos Santana and Miles Davis. This hybrid of styles ends up working into the music, yet bears Casper’s style Similar to the Dead’s approach, Jake’s Leg feeds off the energy of its audience, which is an integral part of the whole experience. This ongoing dialogue between the players in the band and their audience has been working for over 30 years, and shows no sign of slowing down as more and more people, both deadheads and non-deadheads, hear of the band. If people find this give and take between the band and its audience a bit bewildering, a quote from a Dead bumper sticker says it all…..

“If you have to ask, you wouldn’t understand”
