Pure Jerry: Keystone Berkeley, September 1, 1974 is a three-CD live album by the Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Band. It contains the complete concert performed at the Keystone in Berkeley, California, on September 1, 1974. The fourth in the Pure Jerry series of archival concert albums, it was released on December 28, 2004.[1][2][3]

Pure Jerry: Keystone Berkeley features Jerry Garcia on guitar and vocals, Merl Saunders on keyboards and vocals, Martin Fierro on saxophone and flute, John Kahn on bass, and Paul Humphrey on drums. At this show, a trumpet player whose identity is no longer known sat in on some of the songs.[1][2]

Some earlier sources referred to this band as Legion of Mary.[4] However, later research showed that the name Legion of Mary was only used from December 1974 to July 1975, after Ron Tutt replaced Paul Humphrey as the band's drummer.[5] A recording by that band is Legion of Mary: The Jerry Garcia Collection, Vol. 1. Released in August 2005, it contains selections from various concerts, recorded from December 1974 to July 1975, on two CDs.[6] A second LOM album is Garcia Live Volume Three, released in October 2013 and recorded at two concerts in December 1974.
