Jorma & Jack in 1969, Before Hot Tuna Existed

Before Hot Tuna. Before the legend was official.

On June 28, 1969, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady stepped onto the stage at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Rosa: no band name, no album, no identity beyond two Jefferson Airplane giants playing the music they had to play.

Bear's Sonic Journals: Before We Were Them captures that night in full. Pristine audio restored from the original tapes by Owsley Stanley, the Grateful Dead's legendary soundman.

Now available as a limited edition 2LP on electric orange and blue colored vinyl.
