Is he wrong about RAP?

Love then incredulous laughter and “oh geez do you really want to know that ?!” And then launches into 12 min of pure eloquence on whatever answer

what a likeable guy

Towards the end are my favorite nuggets of wisdom from Jerry. He mentions how technique can overshadow the emotional foundation of music, which to me is the key to his approach to playing. If music conveys feeling through relayed experience, then the storytelling aspect has to be appreciated to be conveyed. Jerry was like a master conveyor of all the experiences he'd been through or imagined. The feeling his playing could convey still overshadowed his brilliant technique. While he played with utterly amazing facility, it was always in the service of the songs. Those songs were coming from this ancient complex "Turtle Island", as the Native Americans called North America. With a staggering rich complexity and a vast mosaic of diversity, America was and still is a sometimes wild, unruly, strange place filled with beauty and mystery. The Dead with Jerry framed it, made it their community and never took their inspiration for granted. It was what made them unique. Heart and head floating on a raft, rolling down the rivers of a 30 year adventure.

Jerry tells a great story!

I love this interview.

don't quit your day job ?????

The cosmic village drunk is crazy lmfaoo

I like the Grateful Dead and I like music in general. But is this guy (rest his soul) really suggesting that HE is (partly, like he said) responsible for the revolution in science and technology, including molecular genetics, that took place in the 20th century? I think it's the other way around.

I was a kid in the 60s. But, I indulged in (acid) I never took alot at one time..... I was in grade school ahhh The 60s in America

He is a pure good person. Be happy youve shared life with a legend ! Later, it will be , not real.

Listening back today for a man of reason to ease my mind

The one and only...so brilliant and funny!!!..a cosmic interviewi'm gonna play for my life too

Miss you, brother! I have to admit that I am afraid to trip right now in 2024 before the crazy election. I am afraid! After 67 years! Of course I know what this means. I'll let you know where this ends up. Got some old Owsley 25. <3

Also, it's so crazy to hear Jerry talk about how cheap is was to live in the Haight back in the 60s. In 2024, you have to be a literal multi millionaire if not billionaire to live there. Jerry would be so bummed to see how bad selfish yuppies have ruined San Fransico. It's getting to be like that in every major American city. Pretty soon the only people that can afford a roof over their heads will be the super rich. We're gonna have to just take it all back from em. And peaceful protests ain't gonna cut it, if yall get my drift. The Revolution will NOT be televised.

They don't make em like that anymore. I could listen to Jerry talk for hours and hours.

In between say, I'm guessing the 7:00 minute mark he finishes around the 8:08 minute mark talking about playing at the Acid Tests, & part of the music they play during the song "Playing in the Band" idk, for me, it seems to me that the completely strange & weird compilations during "Playing in the Band" & some of the stranger parts of "Dark Star" when they are playing in concert or during "Space" in the later years, it's like everyone with a string instrument seems to be playing nothing that is recognizable as a song & each instrument seems to be making sounds that are not conversing to any other instrument. And more or less is like it's moving in a completely opposite direction from any of the other instruments. And I believe that they were somehow able to first create that & discover it for the first time during one of the acid tests. And the people there noticed it, & thought it cool, & completely unique & pointed it out & so they tried to experiment with it more & see exactly how they could expand that into something more than what it was to begin with. And when Jerry talks about the Acid Tests, although I was NEVER THERE, cuz I wasn't born until October of 1967, I always think of the strangest the Grateful Dead had to offer!!!

This band was the best at one time bigger concerts without a published album nobody ever did that! They also had the biggest, wildest and craziest concerts and audiences in the world! I remember it all I know!!

He seems so much older than he really was. His lifestyle aged him prematurely.

It always cracks me up when people say they were “experimenting” with LSD haha. You were just dropping that shit and watching the world go crazy

"I think that anybody who ever went to an Acid Test came out a different person--and loved it. That's the sort of thing it was." --Jerry Garcia

Jimmy Page said that he was surprised when he got to the SF Bay Area - 'It's all Country Music!'- I can see that, especially C.Joe & The Fish, eg; many other people & Bands. A Sunset Coast & a long shore's opportunities for anything. There's a good Documentary about Brian Wilson (That Lucky Ol' Sun-?) & at the end it really laid out how much affect they actually had on the World & style of Life in America first but then - Eg: 'Blonde hair, jeans, Tans, Swimming, Surfing, Cars, on & on..

If there's anyone in history that i could sit and have a coffee with, it would be this man

Thanks, Otis‼️ Awesome. I am huge fan of The Grateful Dead and was at a lotta shows between 92 and 95. I'm also a fan of Bruce, but never caught any of those shows. I remember hearing about the shows with Clarence. I didn't know about his last show being with being with Bobby and Phil in Boca ..!? Anyway, those are great stories and it makes a lotta sense. Thanks, for sharing and everything. 💯🎶‼️😎

Love them queens

Was Jerry ever asked about his cooperation with the CIA in any interviews

Thanks for sharing this with the world and spending time and effort to do so. ❤

Jerry Garcia : The absolute greatest

Thank you Jerry, we love you. Thanks for sharing this OP

When you hear a genius speak, the thoughts just spring up like a fountain of knowledge. Incredible human. Thank God he came along in our time slot! Peace be with you all. ❤

congrats! a million views gets you $4000

painfully awkward kid interviewing them

Yes..

Is this Jerry's last video interview?

I didn’t know that I wanted to do it I just couldn’t stop on playing guitar.

This is THE best Jerry interview.

Tomorrow is Jerry's birthday. I am very grateful and thankful for being allowed to be a loyal fan! Happy heavenly birthday Jerry! RIP❤

I thought I had seen someone say early May 1994. He is so on it here. Just on fire mentally. May 19 was the JGB show that was cut short. Unheard of. I’m convinced he had a stroke or heart attack that day … his playing was never the same. June 1994 the guitar playing really took a turn for the worse, kept getting worse and then it was over: 😢

Coming from a guy who never put out a good album after 1967, the claim that nothing good was being done in 1994, and everything is purely derivative, is a complete joke.

guy fucking rules. spawned a generation .

Когда говорят что всем нужен вокал, а не лицо и танцы ,а потом я вспоминаю группу Mamamoo … Изменено: я стеню мамаму лет 5 и не понимаю , почему они не так популярны ?

Not sure how many times I've listened to this interview but IT NEVER GETS OLD TO ME! My two favorite things that he says is very brief but very to the point. "Music is emotional". Which that was the reason I loved Dead shows was because Jerry & the Grateful Dead could make you feel very emotional depending upon the song they were playing. And I've never experienced that near as much at other concerts. The other thing is how he describes the instruments having conversations with each other but stay out of each others range. Definitely one of the greatest musicians to ever live. And I feel good about myself knowing that.

I watch this to learn about myself

You can tell when he's fully opiated. The ol' stuffed up nose

Such an amazing creative and knowledgeable man. So sad the drugs took over his life. As Phil said many times, he was given a choice of drugs or the band. He chose drugs. Phil said it was the saddest thing to hear. I know it wasn't just the drugs but such a waste. When he was clean in 89-90 he was on fire. That was to me, the last great period. Everything after that paled in comparison to all that came before.

anyone know what year this was done? Thanks

I used to wear a WBRU T-Shirt back then. R.I.

Jerry's beard is probably the most professionalist grown beard in the history of mankind.

❤❤❤
