Jerry and Robert hunter were watching an intense lightning storm from two different locations in San Francisco. Without knowing what the other was up to, Jerry wrote the music to this song and Robert hunter wrote the words. When they next saw each other, they shared their work and the music and words fit together serendipitously
I it’s the Dead’s world and I feel fortunate to have been there since 1071 where at my last live concert I asked Jerry if I could sit behind the amps and he said yes. found Bear dropping liquid acid onto the back of people’s hands and then they licked it off. I struck my hand out and he put four big drops on the back of my hand and I licked it off. At the end of the first set I wandered over to check out their equipment. I am looking at stuff and Jerry walks over and passed me a big fat joint and we passed it back and forth and had smoked about half of it and people noticed what we were up to and started coming over. I said thanks to Jerry and saw Bear and asked him if I could get some of his product and he hooked me up with his local dealer and because of that I got to know people who were in the underground acid community. I met my wife at a three day run at the Providence Rhode Island civic center in 1987 and we go to anyone from back in the day. Saw David Crosby who died about a month later. I have seen Bob Dylan on his rough and rowdy tour. Saw the Who Strike Back tour. I am 72 now and red a hip replacement surgery. I can’t stand without something support me. I plan guitar and it sucks playing sitting down. I am still missing Phil so I did acid with him so it was a real sad thing but as long as I live I remember all of the Family members who treated me kindly. If you’re new to their music a listen and you may start liking in the Grateful Dead’s world. Roll a Away The Dew ⚡️🎸⚡️
Back in 1981-2, I was booted to a prep school in the woods by Lake Tahoe, and there were “DeadHeads” and I liked it. This was my first album of theirs. The best song to me off this album is “Estimated Prophet”. Guess wheee I’m from??? You’ll know after this song! 🎶 way to go on listening to this🎶
Terrapin was always fun (they even levitated me 3' off the ground during one performance) and a treat in the 2nd set - here is a piece of music called "Help>Slip>Frank" - a very fun sequence th-cam.com/video/7pfAeRRIfXM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=li5Im4lAFF23yKDw
Next stop... .EARTH! For all you space cadets out there traveling through space and time, your next stop is Terrapin Station. You'll be hanging out for a few decades playing, learning, feeling, crying, laughing.... enjoy!
The orchestral part at the end was done without the band's knowledge or consent. Live versions of the song are epic, but don't include any of the end parts. It's just Lady With a Fan and Terrapin Station, but they're all just different segments of one song, Terrapin Station.
Lowell George, along with John Kahn, produced the Grateful Dead's Shakedown Street, which was released in 1978. Some guy named Keith Olsen produced Terrapin Station. Yes, this has that Woo Woo factor. I saw just about 70 Grateful Dead concerts...Only saw the boys perform Terrapin Station ONCE! LOL. I was chasing that turtle all over the east coast from 1985-1995...finally got one at Giants Stadium in 1992.
Don't want to repeat Richard Dickson, but the real title on the album is Terrapin Station Part 1, I call it the Terrapin Suite. As Richard noted there are seven different songs that make up the whole Suite. In concert I only saw the Grateful Dead play the first three parts, several times, and then they would do something else. One night in Philadelphia, 6/28/2003, at The Electric Factory I did witness a full-on Terrapin Station done by members of The Dead, (Bobby, Phil, Mickey and Bill)a post-GD, pre-Dead & Company group, and Rusted Root, a very good band from Pittsburgh, Pa.. My comment then was "Dare to dream".
So you know, the members of the band did not approve nor like the orchestral part at the end. As a matter of fact, they hated it. It was done without their knowledge.

The whole album is a treat for any campfire.
This studio masterpiece (not common for the Dead) has a large Woo Woo factor. Love it.
Now we're getting into my era. I was fortunate to see them live, once.👏👏👍
Yes, got to see them twice in the 80's. They were fun to see, real flashback.
RFK Stadium June 25th, 1993 - my one and only. Lucky to have it.
Were glad you liked it so much. This song has been part of many of our lives for a long strange time.
🎶🎶🔥🌄🌺💃🕺🔥💯✌️☮️🕊️
she's going to start twirling!
When in doubt...Twirl🎉
Sarah. this piece gets me choked up every time i sit down with it.
The Grateful Dead’s music should be on school curriculums
Dancing round the fire 101
University of North Carolina once offered a course on the Grateful Dead 🍄🌁🌁🌁🍄
off campus studies is what it was
Indeed !
@douglondoner7360 For me it was extracurricular at several colleges and universities

My fave...along with "Ripple". Masterpiece.

Goosebumps here. I've seen this live in concert. Pretty cool memory. Thanks Richard. You sure know how to pick em.😊❤
Wonderful music and a lovely reaction😊
The Dead! Excellent! As Pierre Robert says (Philly DJ) "They are not only the best at what they do there the only ones who do what they do! 😃
That was Bill Graham. Philly DJ must have been quoting. :)
Sarah, this is The Terrapin Station (Suite)
Lady With A Fan
Terrapin Station
Terrapin
Terrapin Transit
At A Siding
Terrapin Flyer
Refrain
Robert Hunter's book Box of Rain is my favorite source for Grateful Dead lyrics.
Wait this is you the Richard who requested this? If so I love you!😊❤
@@TrianglesAndCircles It wasn't me, but it could have been. :)
@RichardDickson-to7zg It was probably Richard Allan Latvala coming back from the "dead" Ha!🤣
This song is one of the high water marks for modern music.
Musically mesmerizing

Thank You Sarah Eleven Times (;
GD Prog rock to the MAX!
Blues for Allah is a sonic experience by the Grateful Dead. "I'll Be With Thee" by the Jerry Garcia Band is so gorgeous its a must hear🎉

@fetzerf olsen.. stand corrected
@@axandio only off by a year. ☮🌹
Interesting music!
Their stuff is all so different that it is difficult to find a "best"
Babe, you gotta hear the Dead in 1969. Totally diff

Weir used to play "Terrapin Flyer" every now and then with the 'Dog - enjoy th-cam.com/video/dC2fv6c-uhc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WW0rWtLxl_pY4Fnm
Thanks Kryptical.
I much prefer hearing the Deep Purple, or try Sammy Hagars band Chickenfoot doing Highway Star
Nevermind. You'll soon get over it 😂

I had no clue about that.
The Dead hated this version and fired the producer. Gotta do Live 🍄🌁🌁🌁🌁🌁🍄
