- As many of you know, Jerry Garcia was incredibly witty and very articulate ! Thus, always a delight to listen to him.
This is what I've found to be the best (or better), witty, funny, insightful, personal exchanges, chats, interviews of Jerry Garcia on video.
Why this re-mix ? Because 1) finding each individual interview is occasionally time consuming or frustrating and 2) some of those are simply too long.
Obviously, I have heavily edited out segments and this is organized (essentially) in a simple chronological order. Lastly, I have made many color and audio-level corrections.

"So we come out and play our little set, ya know...ting ding ding." God I love him.
🤢
"So I took Phil and threw him down a flight of stairs" God damn I was dying
First concert I went to was GD at Capitol Center in DC March 91. I had heard their music, but couldn't GET IT until having gone to the show. It changed my life forever. So glad I did. THANK YOU to the band. It's too bad they couldn't have gone on forever as I truly believe they changed every person they played for For the Better. Miss them terribly.
I couldn't get into them till I saw them in person. I'm 65 and just now a deadhead. So glad I did!
My first GD concert was 92 cap center first night. I my first gd related concert was JGB 91 cap center. Great memories!
Do you remember which night ?
If there was a way to gauge how much people love a performer, I'd say Jerry Garcia would register higher than anyone else. He was not only a phenomenal singer/guitarist, but was extremely witty, intelligent, self-deprecating and had truck loads of charisma. And it all just came so naturally to him. He could prompt thousands to dance with a frenzy one minute, and you could hear a pin drop a minute later.
All we can say to those who do not understand our Draw to this beautiful music, the draw to the give and take of the sacramental SHOWS, the need to continue onward even after Garcia's death, The JRAD's. The DSO's, The Wingmen, WSP, and all the others who know the pleasing chords that rock our souls??? All we can say is: It's allright, It's allright...
He was so talented and seemed to be with the crowd.
jerry or unforunately michael jackson. i worked with people with disabilities and michael jackson is close to a god to a lot of them
@@lazydaze4840 I'm sorry to hear that.
Well said and i for sure agree
The coolest man that ever lived.
Jamie Boyd And quite intelligent!! RIP Jerry. Your memory and music will live on forever!
He should have received a Nobel prize for coolness
I appreciate his admiration for the working man or woman.
You took the words right out of my mouth
He was good
Jerry helped a lot of us navigate life with a little more joy. He was witty, charming, humble and we are better for him having walked among us.
A little Heroin never hurts does it?
Well said brother.
Jerry was SOOOooo funny, and that laugh. He was a complete genius and such a grasp of the English language and society.
Working for the Grateful Dead was literally a “Dream Come True!”
And being able to have several conversations with Jerry were amazing. The most difficult thing for me was separating the man from the Idol…
It took some time, but I finally got to know him on a real level.
The reason for my interview with him was that during his “Break” while recovering from his Diabetic Coma Bill Graham Presents help a few “Night Of The Living Deadheads” get together parties at Wolfgangs in San Francisco that featured live bands, auctions benefiting The Rex Foundation and mini Shakedown Streets.
During the short 15 minute interviews were shown with Phil Lesh and then Bob Weir.
David Gans and I did the interview with Bob Weir at his house on Mt. Tamalpais with his dog, Otis.
David Gans did the interview and I ran the video camera.
When it came to possibly interview Jerry, I approached him at the Grateful Dead Productions office then located at 1016 Lincoln Avenue in San Rafael. I told him about the other interviews and told him that David would do the interview and I would run the camera. Jerry said, “ Why don’t you do the interview and David run the camera.”
So we set up the 15 minute interview for across the street at 1104 Lincoln upstairs from Jerry’s business office in what was then the Grateful Dead Ticket Sales (GDTS) office in front of our Wall of Envelopes.
I went to a lot of my Deadhead friends and asked them if they could ask Jerry one question what would it be.
I showed up with about five pages of questions for a 15 minute interview. I handed Jerry the questions and asked him to cross off the ones he didn’t want to answer and he immediately handed back the list and said, “I do t work that way. If I don’t like a question you’ll know.”
David lit up a joint. We smoked and started the interview…
Someone wrote that one of the most beautiful things about Jerry was his ability to allow people to be comfortable being exactly who they were. What a beautiful mind. As Kesey said, he was a shaman. Never was and will never be anyone quite like him.
Awesome story! Is yours one of these interviews? I'd love to see it!
There was an alternate west coast hot line number someone gave me, and it turned out to be a direct line to the Dead's office. I called it a couple times, and rapped with Steve Marcus. That was a treat to speak to someone within the organization.
fake and ghey
I dated a girl for 5 years in San Francisco. Her father was the drummer in a short lived but huge band. Everyone reading this knows who itt is. Anyway, he, and the my ex's mother knew the dead circle well. Her mother dated mickey for a short while and helped build mickey's studio in the early 70s. There were also other musicians I met from that era who knew or had worked w jerry, as well as non musicians... What I'm getting at is this...every single person said jerry was BY FAR the nicest guy in the band. Obviously the most talented. I saw my first dead show in 85 at age 17. His influence on me, and I went on to perform and teach music for 25 years and made a living, was cataclysmic. The dead and Espec jerry were like an encyclopedia of knowledge for a young musician. Garcia is the mark twain of the 20th century.
😅😅😅😅😅
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
When Jerry says "There were guys back then that could get peyote buttons", he is sitting right next to him.
Great video.. I already told my wife and kids that I want Broken Down Palace at my funeral. No reason to cry, make it a party and celebrate my life. I was lucky enough to see these guys over 50 x. Back to back to back shows and love everyone of them." When I die, bury me deep, put two speakers at my feet. Put a pair of earphones on my head, and always play the Grateful Dead"!!!!
Right on dude
"I would like to be thought as a competent musician, that would be good, I'd like that..."
You were that indeed and SO much more to so many people. The Grateful Dead as a whole through the years has shaped many of our lives, it was an honor to be a part of it...Even if I was just "one in ten thousand" who had come for the show.
(~)}:}
Love the D(r)eadheads and their way of life, and the San Francisco '60s era, exciting times...!
Beautifully put together! I've avoided that last run and just sat here with tears welling up .....Such a wonderful spirt and so grateful to have experienced time to together with them all.
"It's like a dog hanging his head out a car window."
"You love it?"
"Yeah."
Great answer Jerry! 💀
Meyzen76 exactly
Awesome answer Jerry
JERRY GARCIA - the Ultimate Wise-Man/Guru/Musician/Feel-Good Comedian of all Time. RIP Dear Jolly-Jerry.
My first show was Boston garden and my husband said come to the show so I did and I love the show and I told my husband wow unreal cuz I have never heard him before and I was immediately hooked to the grateful Dead and that was all I wanted to listen to. We went to the Vermont show for 5 days and that show was unreal people are climbing the fence to get in and then I went off to Boston got it again with a friend that never heard of The grateful Dead music and he fell right in love with it he was like oh my god wow unreal spectacular the experience is just something you never forget.. and that is 96 we're going to see him in Boston and my husband bought tickets and then my friend called and said he was gone the great man Jerry Garcia had passed away and I still have the tickets 25 years ago they were going to play Boston garden and the tickets have cherries face stamped on the back.. I can't believe that I still have them 2 tickets and that I will hold on to and I'm sure someday maybe they may be worth something money I don't know but I have them in my possession and I look at them every once in awhile and it's just unreal that we were just getting ready to go to the shower with Boston and then we found out and the experience and the sound of Jerry's voice was remarkable and I always tell people if you never heard the Dead you if you do and if you do listen to him once you'll be hooked like I am and I always will be.. he was a remarkable singer/ guitarists.. but the music lives on and it will always.. that's what we can do is smile some smile smile and keep on truckin..
We Need Him So Much In These Days !! Wish He Was Here !! 🥀🤘✌😊 🌈
I miss you and love you Jerry. Thank you for what you gave me and the world, and being you. You made life much more livable, and a hell of a lot more fun.
God DAMN I miss this guy! The world could sure use him and his energy right now.
I can't even begin to put into words what Jerry Garcia means to me, just that he has a special place in my heart and soul that no other musician has.
I miss listening to his interviews almost as much as the music. My hero
Jerry Garcia lives on...in my heart, and in the hearts of millions of others. He gave and continues to give a gift that evokes the feeling and resolve that the music he played is like "mothers milk", and we're all just sucking at the tit! Love you Fat Man.
When alot of music has completely been forgotten, when all the fans have died off that music will cease to exist but the grateful deads music will live on with humanity. As long as there are humans there will be humans listening to the dead. There really is something special about their sound. New heads are born every day thanx to their selfless nature the library of music they left is extensive and will continue to stay with us. Thanx jerry
I like how Jerry calls Psychedelics a technological advancement for the human race. I don't think they knew back then that psychs could possibly treat addiction, depression, anxiety etc.
Wrong...yes they did....and I did too
Oh, jerry knew for sure
They knew but they wasn’t able to grasp the idea yet🙏.
"Psychedelics" were commonly used in psychiatric treatments starting in the 40's and 50's.
Jerry Garcia was before his time or perhaps it wasn't his first go round. #oldsoul
A humble, kind and a beautiful man. Blessed to have lived in the time of Jerry Garcia
Speaking as a fellow guitar player (of 60 years experience) I can say that Jerry, just through the singular example of his being, has guided me, with great compassion and humour, to realise that, in conventional terms, I really don't have to be any good - as long as I am honest with myself and others then I am as great as anyone else who is. Ultimately all these preconceptions about 'virtuosity', 'competence' and 'skill" have to be seen for what they are - foam, bubbles, and heat shimmer. Otherwise you just get hung up on comparison, discrimination and competition. If everyone ain't a winner, then we are all losers - Bless Your Soul Gerry xxxxxxxxxxxxx
(~):} ¡¡¡OUTSTANDING!!! (~):}
"I'm gonna play for my life, when I forget what I'm doing or why I'm doing it I play for my life." Solid Gold from Jerry
"We used to play for silver, now we play for life"
California cool before it was even a thing. Rest in paradise Jerry. You've paved an amazing way my friend. 1 million thank you's Sir for the soundtrack to the Attics of my Life...
" I don't want people agonizing over who or what I was when I'm gone , would rather they do that while I'm here . "
True blue and amazing. Jerry's words ring so true..
God damn, that So Many Roads... Gets me every time man.
WE LOVE YOU GERRY ! Thank you for helping all of us navigate this crazy life .

kind ?
Thank you.
What interview is the “Jerry’s wishful words”?
Wow - thanks !!
Well Jerry .....we miss you......and my heart is broken still.....but......I’m joyful for the years I had with you guys!🐘❤️✌️
Life is a bowl of Jerrys. He was an incredible musician with a lot of different sounds and styles. It would take 3 people to replicate his playing with that many songs in their repertoire. I’ve never heard another guitarist like him.
Wow, Thank you for taking the time to put this all together!!!★peace
Wow man. It's amazing to see how Jerry always looked 20 years older than he actually was. The 3rd interview here in the 1980 segment with Bob Weir, he was 38 years old and could have passed for 60. My favorite musician of all time lived a ton of lives and had his mind occupied 24/7 to have mentally and physically lived so hard.
I heard the Dead doing Fire on the Mountain in the elevator at my local hospital.
That transcript feature is really neat. Some people have been waiting for it their whole lives
I love the attitude; he met Bob Dylan from playing music and the rest was gravy. He even got to, not only meet and play with Dylan, but also be eulogized and extolled by Dylan in Chronicles Volume 1.
I love how Bobby during some of these interviews seems way to high to be talking on camera, and Jerry picks up where he leaves, trails off. Lol Great Times Im sure!
“They really like it when I don’t die” - Jerry Garcia lol the comedian
Oh Jerry, how we miss you in this dark times!
almost 26 years later and that last line still brought me to tears.
The most humble Rock-Star ever walking the surface of Earth. - The Dead keep me live.
I would say garica and hendrix were very humble i ever witnessed
People use the word 'genius' a little too often, but here a true one. Brilliant, insightful, funny, and the impact he's had on modern music is incalculable. Shit man, the Grateful Dead are even more popular now than they were when Jerry was alive. Just completely amazing. Garcia's music has been the soundtrack to my life for over 40 years.
In a thousand lives may I not be removed from the perfect guru
Jerry seems to have been a very nice guy - "to play for my life". Beautiful.
JERRY GARCIA. GENIUS.
A GREAT GREAT MAN. I MIS HIM DEARLY. GOD BLESS YOU JERRY.
Thank you, YoloYodel. Nice of you to add that soulful 'So Many Roads', really puts in to a perspective. Brings it back home reminding me of what really drew and captured me deep down inside at a turning point in my life, and at the exact moment the Grateful Dead changed my mind set to ramble. heehee
When you think about the scope or reach of Jerry's influence its really incredible he was the chosen one a rock and roll jesus
I'm not a deadhead and only a few of their songs I like...but Garcia enthralls me because of his pure honesty and charm...
Clean living! Thanks for doing this. I really like that we don't have to sit through a re-hashing of the early days. Great stuff.
Miss the time spent in Garcias presence. Amazing guy on so many levels. Miss Jerry allot.
i spent time with Bobby but now i regret not giving Jerry my focus! They were only four +/- yrs older than me so they were all "groovy" and that is why i still love them~
in one or these interviews the host asked JG how and why the longevity of the band and JG kicked it and said ....because it's FUN rip in peace my friend
An amazing man with a wonderful heart and soul.
He will always be top of my list of future dinner guests. To feed him something creative, and have such creative generosity reflected back at me, would have me buzzing for years. Grateful to know him, his music and his philosophies for life.
We should all hold great gratitude that we walked the earth at the same time as Jerry Garcia...
Captain Cosmic has spoken . Lolo , nuthin left to do but smile , smile , smile . Excellent video Lolo Thank You . Iko .
Kesey: "It was like the space shuttle."
I’m happy I got to spend times with this guy...
This made my Sunday morning. Thanks, Lolo!
Thank you so much, it's like a recalling memory. Blessings to your family. And wish me on my journey
I love to see him smile 💗
Thanks for your dedication and craftsmanship and sharing.
Thanks for putting this together- me use to thumb from Everett to Pine Street where Eagles Auditorium took us on many Journeys with Dead+ all that wanted to Jam- wish me could of Recorded All those times+ in Eugene, Ore- Memories Trippin the Nice Ways- Long Live Jerry- Ron- Kieth+ the Ladys who Keep On Truckin🎉
Beautifully ✅ done!!!Thanks so much for posting!!☯️🕉✨🙏🎸🐱💀
"...I play guitar for the greatful dead...amongst other things".. that head nod and tone kill me
Happy 75th in heaven, Jer. Shine on.
What about the idea that the fools died and at the pearly gates they asked why they could not get in. The Angel said firstly you have to be dead and they replied they were dead. Then the Angel said, 'Secondly there is no smoking'. Smoking is in the other place.
@@MikeGreenwood51 Pretty funny. Jerry would finally have to give up smoking.
I was there when Jerry played this "So Many Roads" in Las Vegas, it was really nice
they played it in 95 in chicago too. i saw brents last show there in 90, and jerrys last show was there in 95.
@@archeryhunter72 I was at all three, Vegas was so hot 115F
I love you Jerry! Your music saved my life and i am eternally grateful! ✌&❤
when it rains it's tears of joy comin from heaven to saturate arid lands....what a man what a band.
Thanks so much for posting all this greatest footage.
I watch this over and over ....and always love it!!! thank you my friend
Beautifully put together. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings.🙏

Lives on within our hearts brother 🙏🏼🕉
@@MysticMonkeyMiracle Hey thanks for that bro. Really.
33:20 "Used to play for silver now we play for life..."
Jerry, you were certainly competent! I wish I had appreciated you when you were here!
I liked the dead till I found out Bob weird was banging my old lady😣😥🤐
Thanks for the memories. Best times of my life we’re with Jerr. Thanks for putting this together Lolo. Much peace.
I can see Jerry strumming away on a guitar, humming some tune while Bob Ross paints his happy little trees out there in the great beyond...I hope to someday be there and see that. Love you Jerry and you will always be missed!
Thank you for this beautiful compilation, love your work NFA 💗💜💗
at 22:00 when they talk about the breakdown between china cat and rider is like my favourite part of the 72 version and to know that was improvised is AWESOME. its so amazing to know how creative he got in the moment
China cat / rider on Europe 72 still stops me in my tracks!
@@jackwezesa1081 when i was seventeen, the GD were just becoming popular in my college. & my favorite tune was China Cat Sunflower, and my friends named me "Sunshine" because i got up and got high earlier than ANYONE else in my college.
God, I love that Guy!!!!!
Jerry's giggling at the fact he got to meet Bob Dylan, shows just how beautiful this man's soul was and will always be...BUT I'll bet you asked Dylan, he would giggle Dylan style and say " and I got to meet Jerry Garcia"... PeaceOrElse
A true sweet and decent person. I only saw 2 Dead shows and its was a wonderful experience!
Thanks - I'll keep my eyes open for that.
2:26 - 2: 32 "the music was fucked!" fell out of my seat laughing
I would love to see a TH-cam video that had all of Jerry’s interviews in their entirety, or at least as many as someone could find. Like, a 70 hour binge fest. That would be absolute bliss.
I love you Jerry and all of you reading this as well.
One thing I noticed and hear when Jerry speaks; he never says ‘um’ or anything like that. Just continuous genius if you will. Epic dude.
I think it's because he simply spoke his mind, he didn't have to 'make it up' while doing it, it's a sign of profoundness
He does say "you know" like 8 times per minute though haha
16:26
The thing about the Dead was they seemed real one of us!!
Awesome job, Lolo! A very enjoyable and handy collection of the incomparable Captain Trips . Thank you.
My pleasure Sir !
thanks for compiling these ♥️
This is a fantastic reel. Thank you.
Miss you singing to me Jerry ♥ you're up there having the time of your of your life ♥♥♥
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this!
Nice work, thanks!
That was really well put together. Thank you. Your segues early on cracked me up. Cool imagery too. Definitely felt like Jerry was playing for his life on that So Many Roads. That song is probably the highlight from the last show he ever played. Peace
Thank you Lolo
