* * Jerry Garcia Band, “Jerry Garcia Band,” Arista. Sprawling in at nearly 2 1/2 hours (with no new material and only one Hunter-Garcia original), this live set of mostly classic covers wafts along between sweetness and somnolence, with the occasional surge or dirge to stir greater interest. A bonanza for Deadheads; a mixed bag for more level heads. Good soundtrack for a picnic.

New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
