+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsUncle John's Band supplementary notesBy Jesse Jarnow""We'd spent so much time and so much money working on our second two records, and we didn""t want to go through that experience again, definitely,"" Jerry Garcia told former Warner Bros. executive Joe Smith in 1988, an interview now streamable in full viathe Library of Congress.Garcia continued, “So I thought, what I’m gonna do is write some songs that are so fuckin’ simple, man, and so easy to understand that we’ll do ‘em in the studio in about a minute, it’ll take us no time, and it’ll cost us hardly anything, and we’ll be able to get out of this endless thing of spending more than we make on records, which seemed crazy to me. That’s kind of the idea behindWorkingman’s Dead, though really, and also the next record,Workingman’s DeadandAmerican Beauty,they’re both kind of one record, really, and that worked out beautifully, it really did, it worked out great.”But what Jerry Garcia called “simple” was hardly unambitious. Or probably what most people would even call simple.This is what the song that became “Uncle John’s Band” sounded like at first, when the Grateful Dead debuted it as an instrumental theme, here performed at the original Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on November 8th, 1969, released onDick’s Picks 16.Garcia had been listening to recordings of Eastern European folk songs, he later told Blair Jackson. Specifically, he’d been listening to music by the Bulgarian Women’s Choir and LPs by the Pennywhistlers, a vocal group that specialized in harmonies from around the world.Here’s how Garcia put it: “On one of those records there was a song that featured this little turn of melody that was so lovely that I thought, ‘Gee, if I could get this into a song it would be so great.’ So I stole it… Actually, I only took a little piece of the melody, so I can’t say I plagiarized the whole thing. Of course it became so transmogrified when Bob and Phil added their harmony parts to it that it really was no longer the part of the song that was special for me. That was that melodic kicker originally though.”But whatIwant to know is -- what was that song, though?Along with Light Into Ashes (proprietor of the great blog calledthe Grateful Dead Guide), I sifted through a handful of likely albums and candidates, and Light Into Ashes found this contender: “Shto Mi E Milo” by the Pennywhistlers, from their 1966 album,Folksongs of Eastern Europe. They performed it that year on Pete Seeger’s revolutionary TV show,Rainbow Quest,now on YouTube.Is that what Jerry Garcia was hearing when he wrote “Uncle John’s Band”? It’s certainly not the definitive answer, but if you’ve got an alternate proposal, we’d love to hear it. After locking into Garcia’s new melody, the band recorded a tape of themselves for lyricist Robert Hunter, playing the instrumental theme over and over again.So who was “Uncle John”?Uncle John himself was a mythical character of Robert Hunter’s invention, but a composite with at least a few traceable and fascinating sources in the history of American music.If you’re looking for an actual person named John who might’ve the inspiration for Uncle John, John Cohen might well be it, and you could do a lot worse for a folk hero.Sometimes known in folk music circles as “Uncle John,” John Cohen was a co-founder of the New Lost City Ramblers, one of the most pivotal bands of the folk revival of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s -- and a profound influence on a young Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter.Arguably the first group to revive old-time music without spiffing it up into folk-pop, the Ramblers weren’t only musicians, but scholars, tracking down forgotten performers and bringing them to new audiences. A not-insignificant number of the songs in Jerry Garcia’s various acoustic repertoires made their way there via the New Lost City Ramblers, and both Garcia and Robert Hunter crossed paths with the Ramblers themselves during their days traveling the folkways. In an exchange with David Dodd, author ofThe Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics, Robert Hunter said that the idea that Uncle John came from John Cohen was “right on the money,” a topic Scott Warmuth explored even more deeply in his essay “Bob Dylan’s Secret Answer Record: The Uncle John Connection.” Cohen returned the favor, with his own answer album,Stories the Crow Told Me(on David Grisman’s Acoustic Disc label) including the above version of “Buckdancer’s Choice,” the traditional fiddle tune referenced in “Uncle John’s Band.”But Uncle John wasn’t any one person, with many threads of culture woven into the song’s fabric. Listen to episode one of the Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast to hear the surprising link between Uncle John and New Orleans jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden, and more about “Uncle John’s Band” andWorkingman’s Dead.A final postscript, though: When the original draft of the lyrics went up for auction in 2002, it was discovered that Robert Hunter wrote several additional verses that didn’t make it into the final song:Why wait in the dark for dawn [when] the sun’s still going downMaybe I’ll dust off your chair if you say you’re comin’ aroundKeep your place in line, all things come in timeWhoa-oh, all I need to know, [why] do these coals glow?Would you carry me uphill back the way I carried you?Take my further, if you can, [you know] I’d do the same for youThink this through with me, let me know your mindWhoa-oh, all I want to know is, will you be kind?2 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -Offsetfourwindsblow5 years agoUJBUncle Jerry's BandAnonymous (not verified)5 years agoLoving itStories feature is really Cool!!!!!Log inorregisterto post commentsJoin us for deep dig into the rich history of WORKINGMAN’S DEAD with album co-producer Bob Matthews and others, beginning with a close listen to “Uncle John’s Band,” including its surprising roots in jazz history and Macedonian choral music, a further look into the session outtakes, and the story of the real-life Uncle John.Episode Audiohttps://d2cstorage-a.akamaihd.net/wr/Gratefuldead/gdh_may2020/gdh1107_podcast.m…Episode Duration00:37:43Episode ImageEpisode Length232329800bytesGoogle Playhttps://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL2dvb2Qtb2wtZ3JhdG…Hide From FeedOffHide on podcast pageOffiHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-good-ol-grateful-deadcast-68626980/iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-ol-grateful-dead-cast/id1522914723Overcasthttps://overcast.fm/+eK1hPL_hQPocket Castshttps://pca.st/y23addx8RSS ImageSoundcloudhttps://soundcloud.com/gratefuldead/workingmans-dead-50-episode-4-new-speedway-…Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6Jzbtj0r3sPiNWsPSkjrOR?si=ro-cn0IiSGiVq2cxoLveHAStitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rhino/good-ol-grateful-dead-castYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAxT_DkSwQLtnED6uXoexeg8rTGQEmNGgArt19 Episode Id29ee6db5-0e04-4fa5-9e8e-66e88ef89825GuestBob Matthews, Brian Kehew, Jim Lauderdale, Gary Lambert, David Lemieux, Bill Walton, Mike JohnsonSupplemental MaterialsUncle John's Band supplementary notesBy Jesse Jarnow""We'd spent so much time and so much money working on our second two records, and we didn""t want to go through that experience again, definitely,"" Jerry Garcia told former Warner Bros. executive Joe Smith in 1988, an interview now streamable in full viathe Library of Congress.Garcia continued, “So I thought, what I’m gonna do is write some songs that are so fuckin’ simple, man, and so easy to understand that we’ll do ‘em in the studio in about a minute, it’ll take us no time, and it’ll cost us hardly anything, and we’ll be able to get out of this endless thing of spending more than we make on records, which seemed crazy to me.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsHigh Time supplementary notesBy Jesse JarnowIf Dead fans were surprised by “High Time,” arguably the Grateful Dead’s first original love song, it’s possible that lyricist Robert Hunter was equally surprised by it.After Aoxoxomoxoa and Live/Dead, Robert Hunter had his own plans. He’d penned an elaborate suite of lyrics called “The Eagle Mall.” It was a song cycle that--in Hunter’s words--”recounts the trials of a nomadic people and embraces the notion of eternal recurrence.”As the lyricist told it later, when he presented the pile of new song ideas to Garcia, the guitarist told him, “Look, Hunter - we're a goddamn dance band, for Christ's sake! At least write something with a beat!""Hunter admitted, “The direction we took with Workingman's Dead was more to the point.”That wasn’t it for the Eagle Mall, though. Hunter would write his own music for the songs when he began his solo career later in the ‘70s. And in the ‘80s and ‘90s, he even wrotea complete novel that connected the world of the Eagle Mall to the expanded universe of Terrapin. He posted the whole novel online for free. It’s called “The Giant’s Harp.” It’s stillout there.We can only imagine what a 1970 Grateful Dead concept suite would sound like. Almost certainly, nothing like the new songs they began to write.Another factor is that Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter were housemates again. In the spring of ‘69, Hunter and his girlfriend moved in with Jerry Garcia, Mountain Girl, and their family in Larkspur, in Marin County.As Huntertold Steve Silberman in 2001, “tunes had been emerging and it seemed sensible to help the process along and incidentally feed me since I had no income source at all.”In Larkspur, Garcia and Hunter began the most prolific period of their three-decade collaboration. Between mid-1969 and mid-1971, when the Garcias bought a home in Stinson Beach, the pair churned out some two-dozen songs that the Dead would play, nearly all becoming enduring parts of their repertoire.“High Time” was one of the first.As Mountain Girl recalled to Blair Jackson, “Hunter was up 24 hours a day, chain-smoking, and he’d come down in the morning and he’d have a stack of songs.”Sometime soon after Robert Hunter took up residence with the Garcias in Larkspur, the Grateful Dead debuted “High Time” in June of 1969, truly unlike any other song they’d written or performed up until then.But in their transition from psychedelia to songcraft, “High Time” found a surprisingly comfortable place in the band’s live sets. Not long after the song’s debut, “High Time” briefly served as the epilogue in an early alternate draft of one of the band’s most famous song-suites: “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider” into... “High Time”? For much of 1969 and through the spring of 1970, even after the recording of Workingman’s Dead, that’s how the Dead most often presented “High Time.”With more than a half-year’s performances under their collective belts before they got to the studio to record Workingman’s Dead in February 1970, “High Time” developed its own live arrangement with organist Tom Constanten, who performed with the band from late 1968 until a few weeks before the first Workingman’s sessions. The song had a slightly different set of dynamics with TC.Here’s how it sounded on February 14, 1970 at the Fillmore East, from Dick’s Picks 4, only a few days before recording began for Workingman’s Dead.0 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetNo comments available.Log inorregisterto post commentsThe Grateful Dead’s masterpiece ​Workingman’s Dead s​ong by song.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsDire Wolf supplementary notesBy Jesse JarnowOriginsAround the time the Grateful Dead started to play “Dire Wolf,” the still-unidentified Zodiac Killer was loose in San Francisco. The song’s jaunty “don’t murder me” chorus would become a mantra for Jerry Garcia when he stopped his car late at night at stoplights, and surely served a similar function for other Bay Area Dead freaks lucky enough to hear early versions of the song before the band recorded it forWorkingman’s Deadin the early 1970. Garcia would dedicate one version (at Winterland in October) to “the Zodiac cat.”But “Dire Wolf” predated the Zodiac Killer’s arrival in the Bay Area’s consciousness, and was inspired initially by a slightly more classical source: Sherlock Holmes.It all started one evening when Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia were home watching television, specifically the 1959 version ofThe Hound of the Baskervilles, with Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes. Recalled Robert Hunter in his online journal in 1996, “We were speculating on what the ghostly hound might turn out to be.”Somebody, possibly Mountain Girl, suggested that it might be a dire wolf.Hunter wrote, “We thought Dire Wolves were great big beasts. Extinct now, it turns out they were quite small and ran in packs. But the idea of a great big wolf named Dire was enough to trigger a lyric.”Then Hunter dreamt the song. The next morning,he told Steve Silberman, “I woke up and grabbed a pencil before I was entirely awake and wrote the whole song down. I think I managed to capture the quality of the dream by writing it down before I was wide awake.”He continued, “I remember giving Jerry the lyrics for ‘Dire Wolf"" while he was noodling on guitar, watching television. He took them and placed them aside without looking at them, continued watching TV. I said ‘I don't live here because of your sweet temper, it's to write songs!’ Somewhat startled at the vehemence of the statement, he picked up the page and got right to work setting it. The old boy often needed jump-starting.”The song was done by that afternoon, and debuted onstage by the Grateful Dead on June 7, 1969 at the Fillmore West.According to theSan Francisco Examiner archives,The Hound of the Baskervillesaired on Bay Area television exactly twice in the spring of 1969, May 25th and May 31st. On the 31st, the Dead were in the northwest, playing McArthur Court in Eugene, which means that it might well have been on Sunday evening May 25th, 1969, that Garcia, Hunter, and Mountain Girl found themselves watching the 9:30 showing ofThe Hound of Baskervilleson Channel 2 -- and on Monday, May 26th, when Hunter woke up with words and Garcia wrote some music, and “Dire Wolf” came into existence.FennarioThe mythical land of Fennario appears most famously in Bob Dylan’s version of “Pretty Peggy-O,” on his 1962 debut, and the version performed by the Grateful Dead starting in 1973. The song itself is a Scottish ballad that migrated across the Atlantic to the southern Appalaichans, but Fennario seems to be an American invention, first sung by Mrs. Margaret Combs Green of Knott County, Kentucky and transcribed in 1908 byKatherine Jackson French, the pioneering song collector. Before that, Peggy-O lived “down by the banks of the Ivy-O,” as inthe earliest American version, published in 1880.George RR Martin and the Dire WolvesAs some might know, “dire wolves” appear throughout George RR Martin’sGame of Thrones, both the original novels and the popular HBO series. But the connections between George RR Martin and the Grateful Dead run way deeper, and started more than a dozen years before the firstGame of Thronesbook was even published.George RR Martin’s fourth book, published in 1983, was calledThe Armageddon Rag,about a pair of brutal murders connected to a fictional rock band formed in the ‘60s called The Nazgul. Along with other bands, the Dead played an influence on the book, but it got even deeper the next when Phil DeGuere optioned the book for a movie. DeGuere was one of the filmmakers behindSunshine Daydream, the now-beloved then-bootlegged concert film from 1972, and DeGuere hired a group of familiar musicians, including Robert Hunter, Merl Saunders, Quicksilver Messenger Service’s John Cippollina to write music for the Nazgul. The Armageddon Rag movie never got made,but the soundtrack did, in circulation among tape collectors.Also mentioned, Jeffrey Alexander’s Dire Wolves (Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band) can be heardhere.Dire Wolf SupercutIn addition to entering American popular mythology, “Dire Wolf” was an important part of the Grateful Dead’s repertoire for almost their entire career from the moment it was introduced.

With David Nelson of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, we get a look inside Jerry Garcia’s living room as he learns how to play pedal steel guitar. We untangle the connections between “Dire Wolf,” the Zodiac Killer, and Sherlock Holmes to figure out the exact date the song was written, examine session outtakes from the Angel’s Share, hear from bluegrass phenom and Dead fan Billy Strings, discuss how “Dire Wolf” is only one of many connections between the Dead and Game of Thrones writer George RR Martin, and debut a ""Dire Wolf"" supercut.Episode Duration00:48:54Episode ImageEpisode Length0bytesGoogle Playhttps://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL2dvb2Qtb2wtZ3JhdG…Hide From FeedOffHide on podcast pageOffiHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-good-ol-grateful-deadcast-68626980/iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-ol-grateful-dead-cast/id1522914723Overcasthttps://overcast.fm/+eK1hPL_hQPocket Castshttps://pca.st/y23addx8RSS ImageSoundcloudhttps://soundcloud.com/gratefuldead/workingmans-dead-50-episode-4-new-speedway-…Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6Jzbtj0r3sPiNWsPSkjrOR?si=ro-cn0IiSGiVq2cxoLveHAStitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rhino/good-ol-grateful-dead-castYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAxT_DkSwQLtnED6uXoexeg8rTGQEmNGgArt19 Episode Id50a2d52c-bffe-44ef-8f20-bb2d37608f22GuestDavid Nelson, Bob Matthews, Billy Strings, Jeffrey Alexander, David Lemieux, Gary Lambert, Brian Kehew, Mike JohnsonSupplemental MaterialsDire Wolf supplementary notesBy Jesse JarnowOriginsAround the time the Grateful Dead started to play “Dire Wolf,” the still-unidentified Zodiac Killer was loose in San Francisco. The song’s jaunty “don’t murder me” chorus would become a mantra for Jerry Garcia when he stopped his car late at night at stoplights, and surely served a similar function for other Bay Area Dead freaks lucky enough to hear early versions of the song before the band recorded it forWorkingman’s Deadin the early 1970. Garcia would dedicate one version (at Winterland in October) to “the Zodiac cat.”But “Dire Wolf” predated the Zodiac Killer’s arrival in the Bay Area’s consciousness, and was inspired initially by a slightly more classical source: Sherlock Holmes.It all started one evening when Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia were home watching television, specifically the 1959 version ofThe Hound of the Baskervilles, with Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes. Recalled Robert Hunter in his online journal in 1996, “We were speculating on what the ghostly hound might turn out to be.”Somebody, possibly Mountain Girl, suggested that it might be a dire wolf.Hunter wrote, “We thought Dire Wolves were great big beasts. Extinct now, it turns out they were quite small and ran in packs. But the idea of a great big wolf named Dire was enough to trigger a lyric.”Then Hunter dreamt the song. The next morning,he told Steve Silberman, “I woke up and grabbed a pencil before I was entirely awake and wrote the whole song down. I think I managed to capture the quality of the dream by writing it down before I was wide awake.”He continued, “I remember giving Jerry the lyrics for ‘Dire Wolf"" while he was noodling on guitar, watching television. He took them and placed them aside without looking at them, continued watching TV. I said ‘I don't live here because of your sweet temper, it's to write songs!’ Somewhat startled at the vehemence of the statement, he picked up the page and got right to work setting it. The old boy often needed jump-starting.”The song was done by that afternoon, and debuted onstage by the Grateful Dead on June 7, 1969 at the Fillmore West.According to theSan Francisco Examiner archives,The Hound of the Baskervillesaired on Bay Area television exactly twice in the spring of 1969, May 25th and May 31st. On the 31st, the Dead were in the northwest, playing McArthur Court in Eugene, which means that it might well have been on Sunday evening May 25th, 1969, that Garcia, Hunter, and Mountain Girl found themselves watching the 9:30 showing ofThe Hound of Baskervilleson Channel 2 -- and on Monday, May 26th, when Hunter woke up with words and Garcia wrote some music, and “Dire Wolf” came into existence.FennarioThe mythical land of Fennario appears most famously in Bob Dylan’s version of “Pretty Peggy-O,” on his 1962 debut, and the version performed by the Grateful Dead starting in 1973. The song itself is a Scottish ballad that migrated across the Atlantic to the southern Appalaichans, but Fennario seems to be an American invention, first sung by Mrs. Margaret Combs Green of Knott County, Kentucky and transcribed in 1908 byKatherine Jackson French, the pioneering song collector. Before that, Peggy-O lived “down by the banks of the Ivy-O,” as inthe earliest American version, published in 1880.George RR Martin and the Dire WolvesAs some might know, “dire wolves” appear throughout George RR Martin’sGame of Thrones, both the original novels and the popular HBO series. But the connections between George RR Martin and the Grateful Dead run way deeper, and started more than a dozen years before the firstGame of Thronesbook was even published.George RR Martin’s fourth book, published in 1983, was calledThe Armageddon Rag,about a pair of brutal murders connected to a fictional rock band formed in the ‘60s called The Nazgul. Along with other bands, the Dead played an influence on the book, but it got even deeper the next when Phil DeGuere optioned the book for a movie. DeGuere was one of the filmmakers behindSunshine Daydream, the now-beloved then-bootlegged concert film from 1972, and DeGuere hired a group of familiar musicians, including Robert Hunter, Merl Saunders, Quicksilver Messenger Service’s John Cippollina to write music for the Nazgul. The Armageddon Rag movie never got made,but the soundtrack did, in circulation among tape collectors.Also mentioned, Jeffrey Alexander’s Dire Wolves (Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band) can be heardhere.Dire Wolf SupercutIn addition to entering American popular mythology, “Dire Wolf” was an important part of the Grateful Dead’s repertoire for almost their entire career from the moment it was introduced. It was shelved very briefly during and immediately following the band’s mid-’70s road hiatus, but returned to the stage in full-force by 1977 and never left. But “Dire Wolf” wasn’t a jam vehicle. In some ways, it barely changed at all -- an intro verse, two bridge verses, a solo, and an outro verse, never going over 4 minutes in length.Because of that, it’s the perfect way to hear how the sound of the band changed radically over those years -- Mickey Hart leaves and comes back, Donna Jean Godchaux arrives and departs, the tempo and guitar tones change, as does the band’s attack.Thanks to Rich Mahan for editing together this mega-”Dire Wolf” that begins with its first performance in 1969 and ends with its last in 1995, arranged chronologically into one performance.

Peter's temperature went up to a 105, a dangerously high fever, and then gonna roll back down, as if the fever would break and he'd be ok. But this is a song about a man's last day, from his deathbed. Taking that into account, the lyric's meaning is more likely to be that after his fever spiked, it was going to 'roll back down' .... all the way down because when a person dies, their body goes cold.That's what I think Hunter has Peter saying, that his fever went way up, but as his journey ends and he dies, his fever 'rolls back down'.Timhrk4 years 11 months agopoint of view lyrical changeI love the podcast, I loved this episode, and I hate to criticize, especially for my first comment. I wish you spent a little more time analyzing the lyrics, because one big reason this song is so haunting is that the first stanzas -- the song is all verse, no chorus -- it starts out from Peter's POV, who seems to be having a deathbed vision of his friends visiting, then he contemplates the weather and mortality and only wishes for the essentials, friends and a peaceful death. He knows death is near,  poor as me, one more day I find myself alive, maybe tomorrow I may go to die. His revelation that we die and that day is like any other day.  Okay, but the last line of the song, the conclusion, the POV changes to bystanders, or whomever is in this destitute hospital, take a look at poor peter, he's dying there in pain, let's run and go and see. By changing the POV, Hunter reinforces all his dark and despairing meditation on mortality by the narrator. Hunter changing POV is not uncommon, most notably, Jack Straw, but here is a little more subtle. I wonder if indeed this song was a result of a heavy acid trip, was that manipulation of POV something that came during or after. Also, it may be the first time Hunter messed around with POV. Anyway, it was an interesting lyrical technique and I think it may also explain the bridge.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsWhat’s With the Bear(s)? Supplementary NotesBy Jesse JarnowAll those dancing bears might look cute and cuddly, but there’s a lot more to them.The bears first appeared in July 1973 on the Grateful Dead live album,The History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One: Bear’s Choice. The album was a tribute to Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, who’d passed away that spring. The “Bear” was Owsley Stanley, and it was the first release of music from he called his Sonic Journals,veriteaudio documents of his work as the Grateful Dead’s first sound engineer. And he would’ve told you the bears aren’t dancing. They’re marching.Back cover of Bear’s Choice, art by Bob Thomas, 1973Also known as Bear, and in addition to his work as a trailblazing pioneer of live concert sound, Owsley Stanley was also the most legendary underground LSD chemist in history. It’s a story inseparable from the history of the Grateful Dead -- and, for that matter, perhaps the entirety of western culture over the past half-century. (I wrote a bookabout that.)Owsley Stanley at the Fillmore East, February 1970.Photo by Amelie Rothschild.Stanley’s recordings can be heard on many Grateful Dead releases from the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, such as the incredibleDick’s Picks 4, recorded at the Fillmore East in February 1970.TheOwsley Stanley Foundationhas dedicated itself to preserving many of Bear’s Sonic Journals of other artists, so far includingthe New Riders of the Purple Sage,the Allman Brothers Band,Doc & Merle Watson,Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, and--most lately--Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.“Turnaroumd,” Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady (with Joey Covington), from the Owsley Stanley Foundation releaseBefore We Were ThemOwsley had many fascinations and obsessions, from alchemy to coffee, from ballet to hi-fi stereo. Along with his partners, he was an enthusiastic attendee of the early Renaissance Faires in California, countercultural events that grew from the same underground arts scene as the Grateful Dead, topic ofa great book by Rachel Lee Rubin. One of his close friends from involved in that world was musician Bob Thomas of the band the Golden Toad, who (in addition to working on some of Owsley’s labs) would create the art forLive/Dead,as well as the dancing bears and the Dead’s skull-and-lightning bolt Steal Your Face logo.Grateful Dead logo, originally designed c. 1970, nicknamed the Steal Your Face after appearing on the 1976 live album of that name.2 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetCoconut Phil4 years 11 months agoLove the historyI'm a big history buff so I really love this.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsBox of Rain supplementary notesBy Jesse JarnowWhen the Grateful Dead began the summer of 1970, they’d just released Workingman’s Dead, their most successful album yet. Warner Bros.pumped money into promotion, and arranged a cross-country tour for the band, eventually known as the Medicine Ball Caravan. When they returned,the Dead would play four nights at Pepperland--a new venue in San Rafael witha quadraphonic sound system by John Meyer--and record their next album live, as they had done in 1969 and as they would repeat in 1971. The night before the Medicine Ball Caravan’s departure, the band backed out, but their crew went along.The Medicine Ball Caravan is a complicated story of its own, almost lost to history, but fascinating. In her memoir,Dancing With the Dead, Rosie McGee tells the story from the perspective of a Dead family member, though other accounts proliferate, and copies ofFrançois Reichenbach’s 1971 documentary(edited by Martin Scorsese) float around the far reaches of traders’ circles.Without their usual engineers, the Grateful Dead decided to make their second new album in less than a year. By the end of August, they band their way to Wally Heider Recording in San Francisco to work with the gifted young engineer Stephen Barncard.“Box of Rain,” the first song on the album, was the last song completed. Phil Lesh had spent the year working on the music and melody. When the song was ready for words, Lesh mentioned tolyricist Robert Hunter that he would be practicing his vocals on the long drive to visit his dying father in a hospital north of San Francisco. Hunter responded with a powerful celebration of life. Its final line--”such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there” echoes the first verse “Little Birdie,” as performed by the Stanley Brothers. (Jerry Garcia would sing this version with the Sleepy Hollow Hog Stompers in 1962, available on theBefore the Deadbox set.)On the recorded version of “Box of Rain” onAmerican Beauty,Phil Lesh would perform on acoustic guitar, an instrument here rarely played, while Jerry Garcia accompanied on piano.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsOperator supplementary notesBy Jesse Jarnow“Operator” was Ron “Pigpen” McKernan’s first completely original contribution to a Grateful Dead album. He died less than three years later in 1973 at the age of 27. That brief span included a brief burst of songwriting by Pigpen. Some songs were performed by the Dead--including “Empty Pages,” “Chinatown Shuffle,” and “The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)”--but many more weren’t.Pigpen rarely gave interviews, never released any solo material, and remains an enigma to generations of Deadheads. The wonderfulGolden Roadzine didan incredible oral historyin 1993, but there’s a lot more to learn.For our “Operator” episode, we were joined by Jim Sullivan, an old neighborhood friend of the McKernans who is now the possessor of Pigpen’s archive. Specifically, Sully was close friends with Pigpen’s late younger brother,Kevin, who played in the bandOsiris. Sully recently digitizeda track from the band’s demo reel.Jim frequents theCult of Ron McKernanon Facebook and has posted some incredible documents.There are bits of McKernan family history, including this excellent photo of Pigpen’s parents,Phil and Esther McKernan. There’s alsothis great shot of Phil, who spent much of the ‘40s as the chief DJ and engineer at KRE in Berkeley, notably hosting a drive-time blues show. (Update: Though many histories assert that Phil McKernan DJ’d R&B under the name Cool Breeze, Carol McKernan says that he only used his own name.) There are some photos ofyoung Ronandslightly-less-young Ron. Sully also inherited a fair bit of Pigpen (and Phil’s) record collections, includingthis LP ofLord Buckley in Concert, an important influence. Fascinatingly, there is also Ron’s letter to thePalo Alto Times,publicly proclaiming himself to be a conscientious objector. There are multiple pieces ofearlywriting, too.There are some incredible documents related to the very early life of the Dead, including a draft fora flyer advertising an appearance by an unnamed artist at the Top of the Tangent, a Palo Alto folk club. On the back is what seems to be--in Pigpen’s handwriting--an early list of potential songs for the Warlocks. Also in the collection, on a sheet of staff paper, arethe Dylanesque lyrics for “Can’t Come Down” in Jerry Garcia’s handwriting, the first fully original Dead tune.And there are also documents from a bit later on, includingthis letter home from Paris during the Europe ‘72 tour, Pigpen’s last. (It’s misdated as April 3rd, it’s actually May 3rd.) Finally, there are a few bits of his last songs, includingthis fragment.BothDead EssaysandLost Live Deadhave examined Pigpen’s solo non-career and the various bootlegs in depth. But there’s lots more that hasn’t been bootlegged or discovered, too.

He died less than three years later in 1973 at the age of 27. That brief span included a brief burst of songwriting by Pigpen. Some songs were performed by the Dead--including “Empty Pages,” “Chinatown Shuffle,” and “The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)”--but many more weren’t.Pigpen rarely gave interviews, never released any solo material, and remains an enigma to generations of Deadheads. The wonderfulGolden Roadzine didan incredible oral historyin 1993, but there’s a lot more to learn.For our “Operator” episode, we were joined by Jim Sullivan, an old neighborhood friend of the McKernans who is now the possessor of Pigpen’s archive. Specifically, Sully was close friends with Pigpen’s late younger brother,Kevin, who played in the bandOsiris. Sully recently digitizeda track from the band’s demo reel.Jim frequents theCult of Ron McKernanon Facebook and has posted some incredible documents.There are bits of McKernan family history, including this excellent photo of Pigpen’s parents,Phil and Esther McKernan. There’s alsothis great shot of Phil, who spent much of the ‘40s as the chief DJ and engineer at KRE in Berkeley, notably hosting a drive-time blues show. (Update: Though many histories assert that Phil McKernan DJ’d R&B under the name Cool Breeze, Carol McKernan says that he only used his own name.) There are some photos ofyoung Ronandslightly-less-young Ron. Sully also inherited a fair bit of Pigpen (and Phil’s) record collections, includingthis LP ofLord Buckley in Concert, an important influence. Fascinatingly, there is also Ron’s letter to thePalo Alto Times,publicly proclaiming himself to be a conscientious objector. There are multiple pieces ofearlywriting, too.There are some incredible documents related to the very early life of the Dead, including a draft fora flyer advertising an appearance by an unnamed artist at the Top of the Tangent, a Palo Alto folk club. On the back is what seems to be--in Pigpen’s handwriting--an early list of potential songs for the Warlocks. Also in the collection, on a sheet of staff paper, arethe Dylanesque lyrics for “Can’t Come Down” in Jerry Garcia’s handwriting, the first fully original Dead tune.And there are also documents from a bit later on, includingthis letter home from Paris during the Europe ‘72 tour, Pigpen’s last. (It’s misdated as April 3rd, it’s actually May 3rd.) Finally, there are a few bits of his last songs, includingthis fragment.BothDead EssaysandLost Live Deadhave examined Pigpen’s solo non-career and the various bootlegs in depth. But there’s lots more that hasn’t been bootlegged or discovered, too. We haven’t heard the last of the Pig.Commentuser pictureMember for4 years 8 monthsSubmitted byRingoNBobon Tue, 11/03/2020 - 09:45PermalinkRandom question - ""They Love Each Other"" from the Deadcast outroHowdy!

If you’re into Lindy Hops, you may have even trucked yourself. And if you haven’t, you canlearn(or catch up on the origins). References to truckin’ to show up in many songs from the late 1920s and ‘30s.The underground cartoonist R. Crumb brought the phrase “Keep on Truckin’” into the counterculture with a 1968 sequence in the debut issue of Zap Comix that illustrated the lyrics to Blind Boy Fuller’s “Truckin’ My Blues Away.” Though it didn’t refer to actual trucks, it easily mutated into the version seen on truck-flaps everywhere.Robert Hunter’s lyrics to “Truckin’” make reference to various events in the band’s life circa 1970. According to Hunter’s journal, the Houston reference came from a show in “69 or ‘70 when cops in battlegear swarmed the stage to pull the plug,” likelythis gigfrom February 1970. Buffalo’s presence in “Truckin’” owes to it being the opening night of Hunter’s March 1970 tour with the Dead that ended with the writing of “Truckin’.” One of the most infamous untaped (or perhaps uncirculated) shows in Dead history, when the band jammed with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. While there are no tapes, there wasa lot of press coverage.The most infamous verse in “Truckin’” pertains to the Dead’s bust in New Orleans at the end of January 1970. Alison Fensterstock wrote a great story about the event, “Bust Fund Babies,” and thanks to a local librarian turned upthe entirety of the original police report.A work-in-progress draft of Robert Hunter’s lyrics for “Truckin’” are in the band’s archive, with some lyrics typed, but some handwritten by Hunter.As they had for the Dead’s 1967 debut andWorkingman’s Deadearlier that year, the studio of Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley created the cover.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsBy Jesse JarnowIn 1970, Mickey Hart began renting land from the City of Novato for $250 a month. The Barn would become a site for Grateful Dead meetings, rehearsals, photo shoots, and more, and Hart would transform into what he called a recording “crucible.” It was one of the great and oft-forgotten studios of the ‘70s and ‘80s, hosting sessions that included Robert Hunter solo albums, the soundtrack for Apocalypse Now, Ned Lagin’s Seastones, the Good Ol’ Boys’ Pistol Packin’ Mama, jams with David Crosby, and more.The Grateful Dead posed in front of the Barn for their American Beauty-era publicity photo, used on the album’s rare poster, banned when it was suspected Jerry Garcia just might be enjoying a joint.Since the late ‘70s, Mickey Hart has played an instrument of his own construction. Inspired by seeing Francisco Lupica perform on his Cosmic Beam in Golden Gate Park, Mickey Hart built what he called a “747 version” at the Barn. First appearing onstage with the Dead in 1980, the Beam continued to evolve over the years, to the current version he plays with Dead & Co.Here’s Francisco Lupica performing his Cosmic Beam Experience on the Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder, probably around the time Mickey and Dan Healy encountered him in Golden Gate Park.3 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetJazzMann1 year 8 months agooutstanding episodesmy favorite episode so far, along with the Bear Drops.

Over the next half-decade, between 1970 and 1975, Lagin was part of the Dead’s world. His Seastones project developed in parallel with the band’s emerging Wall of Sound.

His incredible use and appreciation for the Wall of Sound. To have been at a show where the weird spiralstream of live abstract sound washing over the crowd between sets, whistling back at the rude Germans, to the point where they dissolved the harsh criticism and brought everybody together - a treasured thought for me of those end-of-innocence days, before the music business, driven by the cares of an aging family with ever more children to support and care for supplanted the powerful, open and youthful LSD-driven spirit, giving way to addictive, dark drugs and the reality of record company balance sheets. His relationship with Bear. Really overall, Ned, you're an amazing speaker and storyteller, and your tales reflect a finely-etched inner clarity that does justice to this amazing, fruitful legacy of freedom, truth and beauty.Speaking of justice done, to you, Rich & Jesse - thank you for a rich, deep audio archive documentary, the scope, depth and breadth of which has never been equaled and I find it hard to think it could ever be bested. I can't believe the amount of dedication and the wealth of relationships this effort took. So worthy - I could never say enough for what you've done for the team. You guys are heroes - really! I trust Rhino Entertainment rewards you for your efforts and that there is much more to come. But if not, please rest well in the knowledge that you are the stars on top of the Christmas Tree of this critically important trunk in the forest of American history.Idea for the future: I loved what you did around Jerry's pedal steel playing for sure, but what I was missing from the sesh on JG's folk days was more focus on JG and the BANJO! Kinda got glossed over, I thought. Which is a shame, since this period is well-documented as the heart of what made him a pro, a master of instrumental music. As you know, Jerry himself said that's where it came from - precise fretting and clear tones. I don't recall exactly where I read this, but the best historical book I've read is Greenfield's ""Dark Star"", and it's probably in there... But I recall reading about MG's first encounter with JG. She was walking by a pizza joint in Palo Alto and upstairs in the back, in the afternoon, playing to an empty room, was Jerry practicing his banjo, same lick - over and over. She didn't even know him yet, and didn't even speak to him, just Jerry and the five-string. Her comment was along the lines of, ""OK, cool - he's pretty handsome (/looks good/good looking). Then she walks out and that's it. And then it was, I'm pretty sure, Sara Ruppenthal Garcia who recalled the time when Jerry got his first pro-level banjo. It was a huge thing, like all their savings went into it, because, in her words (or words to the effect...) ""...that banjo was the key to how we were going to pay the rent."" - like the basis for their family life. I mean, really. You guys, as players, would resonate with this iconic place the 5-string had in all things that came forth after it.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsSkull & Roses 50: Side B supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowThe lyrics to “The Other One” make reference to “Cowboy Neal,” Neal Cassady, known as “Dean Moriarty” in Jack Kerouac’sOn the Road. Deadcast pal Steve Silberman wrote this crucial essay, “Who Was Cowboy Neal?”During a technical break on New Year’s Eve 1970 going into 1971, Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir observed, “this is what a spaceship looks like in construction.” We use the jams of “The Other One” to explore some of the colorful and innovative ground crew that supported the Dead and helped makeSkull & Rosespossible.Rosie McGee spent a decade at the front lines of the Grateful Dead’s world, working with the Dead and other artists as photographer, management assistant, translator, industrial textile artist, and more, including a 1970-1971 stint at Alembic, the Dead’s innovative sound design offshoot. Her story and incredible photographs, many previously unseen, are in her memoirDancing With the Deadavailable--along with prints--from herwebsite.Rick Turner built the guitar known as Peanut to play with his band Autosalvage in the late ‘60s, though it didn’t earn its name until Jerry Garcia picked it up just before the Dead began to recordSkull & Roses.

Deadcast pal Steve Silberman wrote this crucial essay, “Who Was Cowboy Neal?”During a technical break on New Year’s Eve 1970 going into 1971, Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir observed, “this is what a spaceship looks like in construction.” We use the jams of “The Other One” to explore some of the colorful and innovative ground crew that supported the Dead and helped makeSkull & Rosespossible.Rosie McGee spent a decade at the front lines of the Grateful Dead’s world, working with the Dead and other artists as photographer, management assistant, translator, industrial textile artist, and more, including a 1970-1971 stint at Alembic, the Dead’s innovative sound design offshoot. Her story and incredible photographs, many previously unseen, are in her memoirDancing With the Deadavailable--along with prints--from herwebsite.Rick Turner built the guitar known as Peanut to play with his band Autosalvage in the late ‘60s, though it didn’t earn its name until Jerry Garcia picked it up just before the Dead began to recordSkull & Roses. Garcia played it with the Dead throughout the spring of 1971, on all the shows recorded for the album, before putting it aside. Rick worked on Garcia’s Alligator Stratocaster, Phil Lesh’s Big Brown bass, and many other Dead-related projects, and continues to runRick Turner Guitars.Courtenay Pollock had recently invented his pioneering and eye-dazzling new tie-dye technique just before wandering accidentally into the Dead’s universe in late 1970.

(I did not wear flowers in my hair). We connected with friends living in Oakland/Berkeley. Terry had converted a school bus into a camper and we slept in the bus until we rented a room in the house for $15.00 a month. Many adventures ensued. June 25 is my birthday. Around that time we began hearing on the radio that the Fillmore was closing and tickets were available. I had seen the Dead first at a free concert outside the Toronto Pop Festival the summer of 1970.(thanks to Sam Cutler for posting video of that show). I saw them again in the spring of 1971 in Pittsburgh. I saw a lot of concerts that year. The Allman Brothers, Traffic, Poco, Leon Russell, Emerson Lake and Palmer.  The scene at the Dead show was not much different from all the other shows. The afternoon of the show, we hitchhiked to SF, and waited in line for tickets. Bill Graham walked by with a camera crew. I am the guy in the blue shirt about 7-8 seconds into the documentary. When we entered the venue, my excitement grew. There was a light show on the wall....ameoba and clips from Disney cartoons. I was surprised that space was actually a basketball gym!  The first band was Sons of Champlin. Never heard of them but they were good. Then came New Riders with Jerry on pedal steel. At that moment I realized I was at the Fillmore to see the Grateful Dead and I didn't have any LSD! Once the the Riders finished their set and every one was sitting on the floor, I stood up and turned to the crowd"" Does anyone have any acid?"" Dozens of hands shot up and a guy behind me handed me a hit of window pane. The show started with Bertha, which I had never heard before. The amps were covered in Tie Dye, something else I had never seen before. And there were flames shooting out from behind the amps. There were women on stage dancing that looked like Shiva with a thousand arms. During the second set, I had my moment with Jerry where I swear we made eye contact, and in that moment I knew that he knew that I knew that he knew that I knew. Bonded for eternity by the Great Mystery at the Heart of the Universe. When the show was over we poured out onto the street, having no idea where we were, how we got there or how to get home. So we stuck out our thumbs and got a ride back to Oakland in time to see the sun rise. My life was changed forever by that experience. We went back the second night and Electric Hot Tuna with Papa John Creach and Quicksilver Messenger Service. So today, on my 69th birthday I am enjoying the tropical breezes on the Island of Kauai and listening the show that was more than a show.

The band was called Loki (pronounced Lok-eye), and we had a small, but pretty dedicated, scene in the Massapequa area and beyond for a while. We even had a songwriter (who, like Hunter, didn't play in the band) and a girl singer! The rhythm section of that band—guitar, bass and drums—is still playing around Long Island today. We're now called the Moondogs, still might pull out a Dead tune or stretch out a jam on occasion.Log inorregisterto post commentsuser pictureMember for4 yearsSubmitted byThe Burning Shoreon Sat, 07/10/2021 - 09:00PermalinkDead band in BarcelonaJust wanted to let y'all good folks at the Deadcast know that we have a Dead band here in Barcelona.

I have enjoyed listening to this podcast so much.  It was particularly welcome entertainment during the strange times we all have been going through.I have read a few of the books, and lots of websites, etc. and the Deadcast is IMHO one of the very best pieces on the history and culture surrounding the Grateful Dead.  Telling the story of these albums and songs with all of the folks who have been included has been such a rich way to learn more about this history.

A few days afterthe Dead’s final Fillmore West performance(where Garcia also played with the New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Rowan Bros.), Garcia returned to Wally Heider’s San Francisco studio, site of the previous year’s American Beauty sessions, with a plan that was equally ambitious and laidback. Except drums (by Bill Kreutzmann) and a few trumpets and radio samples (by Robert Hunter), Garcia made all the sounds, improvising most of the second side from the ground up. The result was Garcia’s classic self-titled debut,available (once again) on LP from Garcia Family Provisions.Co-producer Bob Matthews placed a sign on the door, “Anita Bryant, closed session” in an effort to deter surprise guests. By going through San Francisco musicians’ union paperwork, Dead scholar Joe Jupille was able to determinewhat else was being tracked at Wally Heider’s during those weeks in July 1971. Joe’s vigilant research has combined with generations of other Dead historians to createJerryBase.com. Using their handy search functions you can see justhow busy Jerry Garcia really was in the summer of 1971. For those hoping to linger a bit longer in Wally Heider’s this summer, check out thenew season of Freak Flag Flyingby Deadcast pals Steve Silberman and David Crosby, literally recorded at Heider’s.One of Jerry’s activities in July 1971--right between album sessions--was the long interview and photo session that became the cover of Rolling Stone issue #100. The interview was with Jann Wenner and Yale Law professor Charles Reich. The photo shoot, Garcia on Stinson Beach, was by Annie Leibovitz.

When I began listening to Dead music again, after 15 years off of it, the first Garcia album was my way back in. It’s cool as hell. Anyway, 1) I’ve often wondered if the mystery bellowing voice during “Bird Song” was a subliminal “sample” of Janis Joplin, the song’s subject? And 2) if I’m thinking of the right Brewer and Shipley album,  Red Rhodes plays pedal steel on it. At that time he’d played on albums by a ton of folks, from The Byrds, to The Ventures to James Taylor, but was mostly  the right hand man of one of my faves, Michael Nesmith (I once wrote a blog post drawing connections between Nesmith and Garcia that inadvertently won me a job working for Nesmith for a short while). I wonder if Bob Matthews would know if Jerry and Red ever crossed paths at Heider’s? I know that Steel players are a rare and weird bunch who seem to flock together-perhaps a pedal steel chat happened? And here’s a fun connection: Red Rhodes played his own version of Garcia’s pedal steel part on a 1973 cover of “Teach Your Children” by a So Cal country rocker named Garland Frady, on an album produced by Nesmith. Find it on YouTube.Thanks for all your great work and looking forward to next season!You might dig my podcast,where’s that sound coming from—the Dead/Garcia seem to figure in half the episodes.

But each time the Dead crossed the Atlantic was memorable, establishing a fanbase as devoted as American Dead Heads if perhaps more “selective” in size, in the words of one semi-famous fictional British rock manager.When the Dead performed in England in early 1981, Jerry Garcia sat for two very different interviews that revealed a lot about British music fans’ relationship to the Dead. One waspublished by the weekly New Musical Express, conducted by the confrontational punk journalist Paul Morley. The other waspublished by the folk and improv-loving Swing 51, conducted by the acoustic music scholar Ken Hunt. Both remain extremely fascinating reads.One noteworthy British Dead fan, both for his distinguished public service and his Grateful Dead scholarship, is Alex Allan, proprietor of the modestly-namedlyric and song finderatWhiteGum.com. The most authoritative source for lyrics to Grateful Dead originals, covers, and spin-offs with all their many revisions and sources. Some recent things that have surprised me are a “new” Robert Hunter song debuted by Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros. in April 2021 (“Big Sandy Creek”) and a Robert Hunter/Elvis Costello collaboration with no known tapes (“Tomorrow’s Blues”). Another incredible site that happens to be UK based is Matt Schofield’sDeaddisc.com, The wormholes are deep. Pick one and dive in.In 1996, Alex Allan wrote an essay for the British Dead zineSpiral Lightcalled “A Deadhead in Downing Street,” which he’s kindly let us reproduce.A Deadhead In Downing Streetby Alex AllanI don't imagine John Major had heard of the Grateful Dead before he met me. But he now gives a tolerant smile when he wanders past my desk in Downing Street and notices copies ofDeadBaselying around-or indeed copies ofSpiral Light. I don't think he quite believed it when I showed him the picture of Garcia in shorts in Issue 32!My job goes under the grand title of ""Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister."" The easiest way to explain that is to say I'm Bernard in Yes,Prime Minister-and in answer to the inevitable questions, that programme is of course a wholly realistic documentary series masquerading as fiction (well sort of ...). I've managed to combine being a Deadhead and a civil servant for over twenty years now -- I joined the civil service not long after I'd seen the Dead at Bickershaw and the Lyceum during theEurope '72Tour. My main problem has always been lack of time to listen to the music, particularly in my present job: something like ""you keep me working boss man, working round the clock.""Weekends are a time to catch up. One great pleasure is walking my dog in the New Forest listening to the latest tape trade on my Walkman -- until I'm interrupted by the inevitable bleeper and mobile phone call. But I've discovered that if I have the tape on loud enough I can't hear my bleeper, which can be convenient (don't tell our switchboard operators).I first met John Major when he was in the Treasury. When he became Chancellor I went on a visit to Washington with him, and that of course involved an obligatory trip to Tower Records for both of us -- for me to catch up on new Dead-related stuff and for him to browse around Joan Sutherland records for Norma. In those days it was easy: wander down the lift and walk five minutes round the corner from the IMF building during a gap between meetings.When I went back with him as Prime Minister in 1993, it was all much harder. He had full Secret Service protection. So a convoy of cars with blue flashing lights stopped outside Tower Records and a huge army of agents jumped out. But inside, it was much the same: me downstairs looking for incredibly obscure Dead stuff; the Prime Minister upstairs looking at country and classical music and Mrs Major finding opera recordings to add to her collection.As you will have gathered, the Prime Minister cannot be said to listen to the Grateful Dead much himself. But they play some covers of the sort of music he likes, such as Marty Robbins and Buddy Holly. And I did once try to infiltrate a tape into his car, carefully selecting the Dead songs I thought might appeal -- but, as always, that plot was foiled by a telephone call from the Chancellor which rather diverted his attention!As fate would have it, I was in Australia when Jerry died. I had a mobile phone with me for the office to contact me in emergencies-and the only time they tried was when they heard the news about Jerry. Unfortunately I was on a boat off the Queensland coast and out of range at the time. I caught up with the news when we got back to Sydney, with a visit to an Internet Cafe‚ to find out if it was really true.I find the Internet a great way to keep in touch with news about the Dead. I can often be found using my portable computer in our office at international Summit meetings in New Zealand or Canada to log on and catch up with what's been happening. When I have time, I have ambitions to get my own Web page up and running-but no, it won't be on the Number 10 Server. I'm something of a ""completist"" for obscure songs and their lyrics, both covers and originals. So I probably spend as much time listening and trying to decipher the lyrics to Revolutionary Hamstrung Blues, Down So Long or Equinox as I do to hearing the great Scarlet > Fires.Combining being a civil servant and a Deadhead leaves a host of memories and images. The thrill of first seeing the Dead in the mud at Bickershaw and the intimacy of the Lyceum. Proudly wearing one of my Garcia ties to lunch with the President and Vice President at the White House. Bicycling early from the Treasury to the Rainbow to see all the 1981 concerts from right at the front. Getting really bored in a huge international meeting with simultaneous translation via headphones, and substituting a Dead tape on my Walkman and hoping no one would notice. And the relaxed, almost family atmosphere which John Major keeps going in Number 10, which means that eccentricities such as my passion for the Dead are tolerated affectionately, though with good-natured teasing when I go over the top.I guess there's only one way to finish this article-I can't resist it:""Ah well, a touch of grey kind of suits you any way""That was all I had to say.4 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetBillN4 years agoThank you Spiral LightHaving come to the Dead during the musical desert of the early 1980s, not introduced by anyone else, but from seeing them mentioned in various books and thinking 'lets give it a go', I was a somewhat lonely Deadhead, no one else at my school or in Uni remotely interested.

Britain is not just England for a start.....at university in Edinburgh (ie Scotland) in the early 1970s there were many of us who had found the Dead, then found each other.  I was on the mailing list set up after Skull&Roses in my teens. A large group of us travelled from Edinburgh to London for the Alexandra Palace shows. And I am disappointed that the  role of the unix newsgroup rec.music.gdead in making the US Dead scene accessible to we Brits is not mentioned. I was part of that community from 1987,  started to MO for tickets and use all my holidays for visiting the US for tours, and made lifelong nethead friends -reinforced by the number of netheads who came to the 1990 European shows. Seeing 12 - 15 shows a year from1988 to 1995 was absolutely amazing, especially as the ticket people often sent me really good seats. I  lost interest in the homespun and overwhelmingly male British ' scene' after that. But trust me, there are more lifelong Deadheads in this country than the episode suggests.We went to the five German shows in 1990 as well as the London ones. Perhaps the Dead scene in Germany would be an interesting subject for a Deadcast.Log inorregisterto post commentsuser pictureMember for4 yearsSubmitted byBabylonon Thu, 06/17/2021 - 07:54PermalinkThat thing that happens on strawberry acid during darkstarOkay...

Phil says you have to really listen. Okay. I'm just going to listen to this.Then after seeing the sunlight, nothing is the same.  My brain works differently.  Bang.  I know how to be happy.  Can we talk about this? Directly?  I read signpost. I know they're consciously doing magic. I know you know they're doing it. You told me to read signpost. Whats going on? The feeling of being turned on like that reads a LOT like leary/wilson's 5th and 6th circuits.  Or like having your brain garden landscaped by Ram Dass.

More and more websites are beginning to make this possible, yet people who claim to believe in 'peace, love understanding - man' lag well behind.

Spiral Light was an incredible way in, great writing, a whole load of mysteries. Also allowed me in to taping, I never had that many but the tape exchange was amazing and everyone on it so generous and understanding to a newbie. Never really got to say thank you, so here it is.Thanks also for all the podcasts, great listening. Please take heed of Paddy's comments though.Log inorregisterto post commentsseasonSeason 3Bonus1"

A close friend of Jerry Garcia since 1961, Hunter became a fully salaried offstage band member in 1970, and integral to the Dead world, contributing words to iconic songs by every single member of the band. Alex Allan’sWhitegum.comis an incredible repository of Hunter’s lyrics with the Dead and many others.Though he played with various folk and bluegrass ensembles in the Palo Alto folk scene of the early ‘60s, he was primarily a writer. Starting his solo career with 1974’sTales of the Great Rum Runners, Hunter toured on and off for the next decades, recording increasingly elaborate albums like theFlight of the Marie Helena. Starting in the early ‘90s, he began to publish poetry, including 1991’sNight Cadre, 1992’sIdiot’s Delight, 1993’sSentinel, and 1997’sGlass Lunch. But starting in 1996, his various websites became home to his online journal, his epic 1991 poem AStrange Musicas well asThe Giant’s Harp, his fantasy novel set in the world of Terrapin. The current online repository for Hunter’s digital works is atHunterArchive.com(though some links might require a dip to theWayback Machine). I wrote aboutThe Giant’s Harpat lengthseveral years ago.The scholarship on WhiteGum really is incredible, including material frombefore the Dead,after the Dead, and elsewhere.

We spoke with Michael Scott, son of the late DeWitt “Scotty” Scott about the store’s history, Garcia’s unlikely friendship with Scotty, the Dead’s jam there in December 1971 (taped by Scotty himself), and the archives ofthe Steel Guitar Hall of Fame(currently looking for a home).Tony Dwyer helped bring the Dead to the Fox Theatre for the first time in February 1970 and became part of the Dead’s family in St. Louis, hanging out with the band and crew when they were through town, and sometimes when they weren’t, and co-promoting the shows in 1972 and 1973.

+                MoreSupplemental Materialsby Jesse JarnowThe Grateful Dead’s three shows at the Fox Theatre in October 1972 were in many ways a culmination of the previous four years during which the band had played the city as often as any location between the Bay Area and the the vicinity of New York City. One guest in our St. Louis episodes, local St. Louis head John Ellis, helped compilea jaw-dropping multi-part in-depth history of the Grateful Dead in St. Louis, 1968-1971, with even more unseen photos ina supplementary post. It’s definitely worth checking out.David Gans provided us with some great audio of Owsley Stanley. You can read the full interview in his essential interview collection, Conversations With the Dead,available in signed copies from David’s online bookstore. TheOwsley Stanley Foundationhas lots of great music to check out.There wasn’t any review of the Dead’s 1972 shows in the St. Louis Outlaw, but there was this sweet photo spread, though no credited photographer, where you can see the mirror ball that the band installed especially for these shows.

I wanted to say that while I have nothing but the deepest respect for the psychedelic and mind-expanding elements of the GD and counter culture, I feel that we also have a responsibility to discuss the dangers of substance abuse as well.  The gleeful stories about ""dosing"" concert security guards and trash bags full of contraband make it all sound like a wonderful party.  However, at the risk of stating the obvious, so many lives have been destroyed (and continued to be destroyed) by substance abuse.   The destroyed lives include band members of the Grateful Dead, and we have an obligation to point out the negative impacts.  Thank you once again, and I will look forward to the next podcast!Selector Lopaka3 years 8 months agoFantastic as usual! For some…Fantastic as usual!

TheOwsley Stanley Foundationhas lots of great music to check out.There wasn’t any review of the Dead’s 1972 shows in the St. Louis Outlaw, but there was this sweet photo spread, though no credited photographer, where you can see the mirror ball that the band installed especially for these shows. Thanks to the State Historical Society of Missouri and the New York Public Library for archival assistance, and to Uli Teute for helping to sew it back together.Commentuser pictureMember for4 years 8 monthsSubmitted bySelector Lopakaon Thu, 10/14/2021 - 19:56PermalinkFantastic as usual!

I wanted to say that while I have nothing but the deepest respect for the psychedelic and mind-expanding elements of the GD and counter culture, I feel that we also have a responsibility to discuss the dangers of substance abuse as well.  The gleeful stories about ""dosing"" concert security guards and trash bags full of contraband make it all sound like a wonderful party.  However, at the risk of stating the obvious, so many lives have been destroyed (and continued to be destroyed) by substance abuse.   The destroyed lives include band members of the Grateful Dead, and we have an obligation to point out the negative impacts.  Thank you once again, and I will look forward to the next podcast!Log inorregisterto post commentsseasonSeason 4transcript/listen-river-fox-theatre-october-1972"

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsDonna Jean supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowIt was an honor and joy to interview Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay and hear untold stories about her life and a musical career that has now spanned seven decades. Earlier this year, she released the timely new single, “Shelter (Muscle Shoals Remix)” with her current band, Donna Jean and the Tricksters, featuring Dark Star Orchestra/Zen Tricksters guitarist Jeff Mattson.Donna belongs to a pair of major American musical families: the Muscle Shoals studio community and, of course, the Grateful Dead. From the mid-to-late ‘60s, known as Donna Thatcher, Donna was a regular around the local studios, recording her own demos and eventually connecting with Jeannie Greene and what became the vocal group Southern Comfort. First backing Percy Sledge on “When A Man Loves A Woman” in 1966, over the next half-decade they sang behind Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Cher, Boz Scaggs, Joe Tex, and many more, including a single of their own. While FAME Studios was the center of musical gravity in the area, Donna and Southern Comfort were based out ofNorala/Quinvy Studios, owned by Donna’s one-time manager Quintin Ivy. As with many backing vocalists of the era, Southern Comfort didn’t receive credits on releases, so piecing together a complete discography for vocalist Donna Thatcher is a bit hard. The Lost Live Dead blog has written extensively about herearly history.After joining the Grateful Dead full-time in 1972, Bobby Weir became the first to call her full “Donna Jean.” During the Dead’s touring hiatus in 1975, Keith and Donna released Keith and Donna on Round Records, and put together the Keith and Donna Band. Over 8 months in 1975, they played some 70 shows with a band that sometimes featured Jerry Garcia and Bill Kreutzmann--chronicled by Lost Live Dead, of course--before the two jumped over to the Jerry Garcia Band in early 1976.And thanks to Donna’s memory of when she went to go see Keith Godchaux play piano for the first time at Clifford’s Knights Inn in his hometown of Walnut Creek, we were able to find this clipping of Keith “Gottchaus” (from the Contra Costa Times, 4/17/70) just a few months before he met Donna and discovered the Grateful Dead.2 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -Offsetorganicallymark9 months agoDonna in Reading, PAGot to see Donna Jean on 12/31/2010 NYE!

Several full issues are available to read on their site.Sociologist Rebecca Adams began studying the Dead in the late ‘80s and co-editedDeadhead Social Science: You Ain’t Gonna Learn What You Don’t Wanna Know,composed of chapters written by the students she brought on tour,also now back in print and available as an ebook.Rhoney Stanley is the author ofOwsley and Me: My LSD Family.Brent Wood is the author of the recent book,The Tragic Odes of Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead Mystery Dances in the Magic Theater.Musicologist Melvin Backstrom’s writing about the Dead is available via hiswebsite, including his Ph.D dissertation, “The Grateful Dead and Their World – Popular Music and the Avant-Garde in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1965-1975,” where he also offers Dead-specific guitar lessons.Julie DeLong is the organizer ofSo Many Reads, a Grateful Dead book club.Corry Arnold is the proprietor of a network of fantastic sites and blogs dedicated to independent scholarship about the Grateful Dead and the Bay Area music scene.Chicken On A Unicycle(his project with Ross Hannan) provides definitive dates for many ‘60s and ‘70s Bay Area venues, band family trees, chronologies, and more. The blogsLost Live Dead,Hooterollin’ Around, andRock Prosopography 101all provide further scholarship, with the stories very often coming alive in the comments sections.Commentuser pictureMember for3 years 6 monthsSubmitted byTheSizzleron Fri, 12/10/2021 - 15:22PermalinkSloane's paperIs there any chance of Isaac Slone's paper being added here, or found elsewhere?

Cheers to Infrared RosesI really enjoyed this episode.As a head who came of age and came to the Dead in the 90s, Infrared Roses was actually the first release of theirs that I had. My initial experiences going to shows, I loved drums and space.  I hadn't really ""gotten"" all of their music at that point.  I was into edgier music and looking for the ""acid test"" .  Drums and space blew me away.  I'm much more into the music and full shows now, but this episode was an interesting reflection for me on what first got me excited about the band.This was also a fascinating look on what the Dead were doing to push their music in the 90s with MIDI.   I enjoyed hearing some of the back story.Something interesting that this show made me think about is that during the last couple years that Jerry was in the band, one of the places where he was still really energized was in his ballads coming out of space.  Stella Blue, Days Between, Standing on the Moon. there are some great versions of those where he is really rocking, coming out of space in 94-95.  Was his energy level related to his enjoyment of space?  Interesting question I think.Anyhow - Bravo to the Deadcast to putting this out there.  Fantastic journalism!

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsBear Drops: LA ‘66 supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowIn early January 1966, about a month after the Warlocks changed their name to the Grateful Dead, the young band met Owsley Stanley at the momentousFillmore Acid Test. With a reputation in the underground as the chemist responsible for the LSD circulating throughout California, Stanley signed on with the Dead as their sound engineer, financing the band’s move to Los Angeles and renting them a large pink house at 2511 Third Avenue.In order to better understand his sound engineering work, Stanley began making what he called Sonic Journals. Over the next two decades, Stanley--Bear, as he was known--accumulated a profoundly diverse archive, but it began with the tapes that he made of the Dead in early 1966. TheOwsley Stanley Foundationhas been preserving and issuing the best of Bear’s work, most lately performances byJohnny Cash,Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen,Tim Buckley, andAli Akbar Khan. (Many of Bear’s 1966 tapes can be heard on both Birth of the Dead and Rare Cuts & Oddities, as well as several live releases.)At the center of this episode is an incredible and rare interview with Bear himself, conducted by our Deadcast hero David Gans in 1991. The wide-ranging conversation, far more than included here, was originally published in David’s essential book Conversations With the Dead, a cornerstone of any Dead library, and now available in signed editions fromDavid’s online bookstore.Rosie McGee, another of the house’s residents who spoke with us for this episode, took some of the earliest photos of the Dead in action. She would continue to photograph the band over the next decades, creating some of the most memorable images of the group, from their Live/Dead portrait to hundreds of candid and live shots. In addition to her wonderful memoir,Dancing With the Dead, she has been organizinga new coffee table book of her work, taking orders now.We quoted a bit from the online memoir of the late Hetty MacLise,who wrote about spending time with the Dead in LA in 1966.The very first feature/interview with the Grateful Dead,in which an intrepid reporter visited the band’s house, was published in the Los Angeles Free Press in March 1966.0 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetNo comments available.Log inorregisterto post commentsWe explore the Grateful Dead’s formative early 1966 months in Los Angeles under the patronage of Owsley Stanley, LSD chemist & the band’s new sound engineer, featuring Owsley’s assistants Tim Scully & Don Douglas, Merry Pranksters, Rosie McGee, & an archival interview with Owsley.Episode Duration01:32:46Episode ImageEpisode Length0bytesGoogle Playhttps://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL2dvb2Qtb2wtZ3JhdG…Hide From FeedOffHide on podcast pageOffiHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-good-ol-grateful-deadcast-68626980/iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-ol-grateful-dead-cast/id1522914723Overcasthttps://overcast.fm/+eK1hPL_hQPocket Castshttps://pca.st/y23addx8RSS ImageSoundcloudhttps://soundcloud.com/gratefuldead/workingmans-dead-50-episode-4-new-speedway-…Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6Jzbtj0r3sPiNWsPSkjrOR?si=ro-cn0IiSGiVq2cxoLveHAStitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rhino/good-ol-grateful-dead-castYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAxT_DkSwQLtnED6uXoexeg8rTGQEmNGgArt19 Episode Id46637791-c02d-41b4-ae9f-e73d5ec2a1e2GuestTim Scully, Don Douglas, Rosie McGee, Denise Kaufman, Ken Babbs, Starfinder Stanley, Hawk, David GansSupplemental MaterialsBear Drops: LA ‘66 supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowIn early January 1966, about a month after the Warlocks changed their name to the Grateful Dead, the young band met Owsley Stanley at the momentousFillmore Acid Test.

+                MoreSupplemental Materialsby Jesse JarnowThe Dutch photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot–a guest on this Deadcast–met the Grateful Dead as they arrived in Denmark from London, on assignment from the underground newspaper Oor. He photographed the band during the first performance at the Tivoli Concert Hall on 14 April and, the next day, accompanied them to Kronborg Castle, the inspiration for Elsinore in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. There, he photographed Jerry Garcia for the cover of Oor, an image often misidentified as being shot in Copenhagen. Many of his Dead photos can be seenin a gallery on his site, and he sells prints of bothhis portrait of Jerry Garcia at Kronborg, as well asa shot of Garcia on stage.Dick Latvala wound up witha handwritten set of Robert Hunter’s “Brown Eyed Women” lyrics, rediscovered by fans after Hunter’s death. Based on the early lyrics sung by Jerry Garcia, they are probably not a first draft.As always, enormous thanks to David Gans for sharing interviews with members of the band and their family over the years. His books Conversations With the Dead and This Is All A Dream We Dreamed (with Blair Jackson) areavailable in signed editions via perfectible.net.In Copenhagen, the Danish writers Dan Turèll and Peder Bundgaard interviewed Jerry Garcia for the Danish publication MM. Over the ‘70s and ‘80s, Dan Turèll would become one of the most famous writers in Denmark, their most preeminent countercultural voice. And he would remain a Dead fan through the rest of his prolific life. WIth the help of Dan Turèll biographer (and Deadcast guest) Lars Movin, we’ve translated the interview back into English. Many kind thanks toLars Movin, and to Chili Turèll and Peder Bundgaard for permission to publish this material.Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead - an intervieworiginally published inMM #2, May 1972Peder Bundgaard and Dan Turèll talk to Jerry Garcia from Grateful Dead at Hotel Nyhavn, the morning before the group's concert on April 14, 1972.Dan Turèll: Jerry, about the togetherness, in many ways, it seems as if the rock scene is more and more in disarray now. How do [the Dead] manage to both maintain and tigthen a togetherness that you do not see elsewhere?Jerry Garcia: Yes, all I can say is that we have only taken care of our own survival, right?--at a very basic level--our opportunity to survive, as a group, as a family. We have dealt with our own scene and the changes in it, rather than reacting to what was going on outside. In other words, we fantasized about a different reality. All it takes to create another reality is for people to live in it; I mean, we never recruited people. The whole story just happened, and along the way, we decided to concentrate on our own reality and forget all the crap to survive. And here we are then, in relative unity, in the midst of all the madness of the world. I've thought a lot about it, I've seen it in a lot of different ways over the last six years, comparing what's happened to us and our scene to everything that's happened. It doesn’t really fit together in any way, and whatever makes Grateful Dead run, it's not something that depends on me. It’s something that’s continuous.Peder Bundgaard: With the same musicians - exactly the same as in 1966 -JG:Yeah, and more than that. Lots of people in our scene, we’ve known for a long, long time, long before we were a rock 'n' roll band. It’s our own reality, based on our own experiences. We don’t respond to the press or television, but to our own society.PB:Do you always travel together?JG:No, we can’t normally afford it. It can only be for the musicians, the light people and the technicians, the rest of the family stays at home and takes care of the office. We simply don’t have the money for it. But this time, by chance, some money came in very luckily and we got an agreement to record a double LP for Warner Brothers along the way. We could have come to Europe last year, and even before that, but we waited until we could all come. And now we're here, it's all running so fine at the moment.DT:It also seems like you've got a lot of new energy, more and more, in recent years.JG:Yes, more energy and more space to channel it into. There really are no limits to energy, we are simply in such great shape. Everyone is just in the right state.DT:It's also as if the music is more and more evolving into one mass for you, to be the expression of everything.JG:I think that the fact that music will soon the primary means of communication in the United States is due to the language is getting so weird, English being wiped out by television politicians, all these words and statements, ""generation gap"" and “alternative culture,” media expressions and all that shit. The language finally becomes meaningless, there is only mistrust left to that concept. The music communicates on a more basic level, I think, but I don’t really know. It could seem like there is a break-down happening, maybe, but things are still running. What has not happened is that the System has changed. There’s still no space where the new consciousness can express itself.DT:Shouldn't the new consciousness be able to express itself anywhere?JG:Yes.DT:Shouldn't that be exactly what the new consciousness does?JG:Right; that's what we do, right? But there has not yet been any way to throw out the old shit. It's too strong, right? Just take governments; what should a new consciousness be able to do in governments? Who wants to be a politician, who is interested in that? It's still running straight, right? In Berkeley, for example, there are a handful of political radicals. They can do little to change the ordinary course of Congress, not much.DT:Do you think the new consciousness is beyond politics? That it will transform politics everywhere?JG:I hope something along those lines. Again, I don’t know. Most of my energy and interest goes into our scene, it's the one I see reality through. And our scene is going well, man. I mean, we're here, 43 people, touring Europe -- a completely unrealistic fantasy in the music world, impossible? But we are here. And we are here only because there are friends who support us along the way. I mean, we don’t survive in a vacuum, we receive new energy and transform it.DT:So it can be transformed again -JG:Right. We would like the Grateful Dead to be a channel that the energy can go through, just pure energy. This is how it’s been running all along. If someone comes and wants to join, if they have a way they can transfer their energy over to us, if we can transfer ours to them, that's the way, right? It's good for them, for us, for everyone. That's the way we’ve become the 43 or whatever it is, we are now. Like just lately with the new pianist and our new singer. There is no easy and quick way to reach the goal.PB:There were probably many who believed that in 1967.JG:Yes, but we’ve learned that is not the case.PB:You lived together in Haight-Ashbury. Seen here from Copenhagen, for example, it really looked like a brilliant scene. We've heard so much about it and all that. One could get the impression that anything was possible.JG:That's the shame still. It's just that now that innocence is gone. There’s not the same fresh, young hope. We’ve become both older and wiser. It still moves, but things evolve in periods. There may be periods of 10, 20, 30 or 100 years. Anything is really possible and the Dead Family still lives together. Where we live now, outside of San Francisco, there is a whole community of people from the Haight-Ashbury scene. There are poster designers and so on. Everyone is very creative and a swift little renaissance is actually happening. Something is happening all the time, but of course the world doesn’t change in an instant.DT:You talked yesterday about the fact that substances could be used to enter the universe instead of using them to escape from the world. The music can be used in the same way so that it simply goes in advance.JG:Things are simple. They’re not complicated, they’re just not easy to perform.DT:It's hard to see how simple things are. You talked about all the big buildings in connection with the press, the media, the universities and all that stuff. You can just tear it out. It's simple enough because things are really interconnected in a simple way.JG:Yes, that's right. I just don’t want to be the one to say that to people. I won’t be responsible for what they’re thinking.DT:You do not need that either. But there is always someone who says something. It is a matter of taking advantage of your opportunity to say something. If you do not, there will always be someone else telling them something else.PB:One could imagine some responsibility for not saying anything.JG:Yes, one can’t avoid becoming responsible in some way. I'm fully aware of that, I just don’t want under any circumstances to be misleading to anyone. It is a waste of time. You send people on a strange trip with that kind of thing. There are a lot of things that can’t be preached. That's what I want to avoid. Imagine if I suddenly stood up and said: “Listen to me. The universe is an egg!” It may well be that the universe is an egg, but even if I had seen it with my own eyes, I would still never say it to anyone. I might tell people something about walking around the block -- turning right, then left, then turning three times around themselves after which there MAY be a door to heaven. Do you understand what I mean? I want to help people do something to get there themselves. I don’t mind being a kind of guide that people can use. I don’t want to hide what I may know, but I certainly don’t intend to mislead any one. That is something I’m thinking quite a lot about. I once expressed an opinion in an interview a long time ago. Then it happened that two years later I met a guy during a tour. He fully and firmly believed in it because I had said so.PB:It could be the magazine's fault. They may have changed your words and things in print can easily get a false authority.JG:That's right and I'm always on the lookout for that little trip. There is always a feedback, namely a feedback from real life. I am trying to avoid having people come running up to me and say: “You promised such and such. You said it would all be magnificent.” Why should I know more than others about what’s happening?DT:No, but you are part of what is happening, and when what is happening is you, you can still hardly avoid being part of leading someone.JG:I can see that, but I have no special place to guide anyone to.PB:Now you play the guitar. That way, you can express your feelings and thoughts very accurately and still not be misleading.JG:Exactly. Even if I'm really supposed to be misleading, it's nothing but music after all. I've experimented a lot with it. We've been playing together for about seven years now. During that time I have been to all the concerts with the Dead. Every single one. On stage, I’ve been through all sorts of different consciousnesses. I have been angry and depressed. I have been completely out of my mind strange substances and I have been high on acid. But the music as a whole has been good nonetheless. There is something greater than me. I am me and that is it. But I'm into it, I'm plugged into it. Everyone is plugged in. That's why it happens every time, even when I'm playing like an asshole. ""It"" is bigger than all of us.0 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetNo comments available.Log inorregisterto post commentsIn which the Grateful Dead make landfall on the Continent, do battle with Danish customs, play on the 1st live rock telecast in national history, perform in a university cafeteria, visit Hamlet’s castle, cross paths with a countercultural hero, wear clown masks, & get cool sweaters.READ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THIS EPISODEEpisode Duration02:04:17Episode ImageEpisode Length0bytesGoogle Playhttps://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3MuYXJ0MTkuY29tL2dvb2Qtb2wtZ3JhdG…Hide From FeedOffHide on podcast pageOffiHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-good-ol-grateful-deadcast-68626980/iTuneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-ol-grateful-dead-cast/id1522914723Overcasthttps://overcast.fm/+eK1hPL_hQPocket Castshttps://pca.st/y23addx8RSS ImageSoundcloudhttps://soundcloud.com/gratefuldead/workingmans-dead-50-episode-4-new-speedway-…Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6Jzbtj0r3sPiNWsPSkjrOR?si=ro-cn0IiSGiVq2cxoLveHAStitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/rhino/good-ol-grateful-dead-castYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAxT_DkSwQLtnED6uXoexeg8rTGQEmNGgArt19 Episode Id5f6e3dd3-09e1-4db2-939f-e1e771f9d8fdGuestSam Cutler, Steve Parish, Mountain Girl, Donna Jean Godchaux MacKay, Ben Haller, Alan Trist, Jim Sullivan, Gijsbert Hanekroot, John Morris, Sam Field, David Lemieux, MC Taylor, Lars Bennike, Bjørn Lindstrøm, Hans Francke, Jens Skovby, Palle Lykke, Lars Movin, Graeme Boone, Shaugn O’DonnellSupplemental Materialsby Jesse JarnowThe Dutch photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot–a guest on this Deadcast–met the Grateful Dead as they arrived in Denmark from London, on assignment from the underground newspaper Oor.

There is no easy and quick way to reach the goal.PB:There were probably many who believed that in 1967.JG:Yes, but we’ve learned that is not the case.PB:You lived together in Haight-Ashbury. Seen here from Copenhagen, for example, it really looked like a brilliant scene. We've heard so much about it and all that. One could get the impression that anything was possible.JG:That's the shame still. It's just that now that innocence is gone. There’s not the same fresh, young hope. We’ve become both older and wiser. It still moves, but things evolve in periods. There may be periods of 10, 20, 30 or 100 years. Anything is really possible and the Dead Family still lives together. Where we live now, outside of San Francisco, there is a whole community of people from the Haight-Ashbury scene. There are poster designers and so on. Everyone is very creative and a swift little renaissance is actually happening. Something is happening all the time, but of course the world doesn’t change in an instant.DT:You talked yesterday about the fact that substances could be used to enter the universe instead of using them to escape from the world. The music can be used in the same way so that it simply goes in advance.JG:Things are simple. They’re not complicated, they’re just not easy to perform.DT:It's hard to see how simple things are. You talked about all the big buildings in connection with the press, the media, the universities and all that stuff. You can just tear it out. It's simple enough because things are really interconnected in a simple way.JG:Yes, that's right. I just don’t want to be the one to say that to people. I won’t be responsible for what they’re thinking.DT:You do not need that either. But there is always someone who says something. It is a matter of taking advantage of your opportunity to say something. If you do not, there will always be someone else telling them something else.PB:One could imagine some responsibility for not saying anything.JG:Yes, one can’t avoid becoming responsible in some way. I'm fully aware of that, I just don’t want under any circumstances to be misleading to anyone. It is a waste of time. You send people on a strange trip with that kind of thing. There are a lot of things that can’t be preached. That's what I want to avoid. Imagine if I suddenly stood up and said: “Listen to me. The universe is an egg!” It may well be that the universe is an egg, but even if I had seen it with my own eyes, I would still never say it to anyone. I might tell people something about walking around the block -- turning right, then left, then turning three times around themselves after which there MAY be a door to heaven. Do you understand what I mean? I want to help people do something to get there themselves. I don’t mind being a kind of guide that people can use. I don’t want to hide what I may know, but I certainly don’t intend to mislead any one. That is something I’m thinking quite a lot about. I once expressed an opinion in an interview a long time ago. Then it happened that two years later I met a guy during a tour. He fully and firmly believed in it because I had said so.PB:It could be the magazine's fault. They may have changed your words and things in print can easily get a false authority.JG:That's right and I'm always on the lookout for that little trip. There is always a feedback, namely a feedback from real life. I am trying to avoid having people come running up to me and say: “You promised such and such. You said it would all be magnificent.” Why should I know more than others about what’s happening?DT:No, but you are part of what is happening, and when what is happening is you, you can still hardly avoid being part of leading someone.JG:I can see that, but I have no special place to guide anyone to.PB:Now you play the guitar. That way, you can express your feelings and thoughts very accurately and still not be misleading.JG:Exactly. Even if I'm really supposed to be misleading, it's nothing but music after all. I've experimented a lot with it. We've been playing together for about seven years now. During that time I have been to all the concerts with the Dead. Every single one. On stage, I’ve been through all sorts of different consciousnesses. I have been angry and depressed. I have been completely out of my mind strange substances and I have been high on acid. But the music as a whole has been good nonetheless. There is something greater than me. I am me and that is it. But I'm into it, I'm plugged into it. Everyone is plugged in. That's why it happens every time, even when I'm playing like an asshole. ""It"" is bigger than all of us.seasonSeason 5transcript/europe-72-demark"

The Dead headlined a spectacular lineup that included Captain Beefheart, Dr. John, the Kinks, Annette Peacock, Paul Bley, Maynard Ferguson, Donovan, the Incredible String Band, the Kinks, the Flamin’ Groovies, Country Joe McDonald, and more. Though the festival was a financial bomb and the weather was miserable, many had a perfectly amazing time,as reports attest.One fan in attendance was teenager D.P. MacManus, the songwriter who would soon change his name to Elvis Costello, solidifying what’s become a lifelong (if sometimes hidden) connection to the Grateful Dead’s music. It was a true honor to speak with him about his experience, and we here at the Deadcast most heartily recommendThe Boy Named If, the latest album from Elvis Costello & the Imposters. In 1989, when Costello hosted the birthday party for Mill Valley’s Village Music at the local club Sweetwater, Garcia ducked in for a jam,documented on a lovely video. And in 1991,Jerry and Elvis sat together for a joint conversationand appeared on the cover of the late, lamentedMusicianmagazine.One fannotin attendance at Bickershaw was the science fiction writer Michael Moorcock, who shared the cover with the Dead on the newest issue of the British underground publicationFrendzand also spoke with us for this episode. As editor of the publicationNew Worlds, he helped nurture sci-fi’s so-called New Wave, helping to liberate the genre in arguably a similar way that the Dead helped open the possibilities of rock music. His is the subject of a chapter (and a frequent reference point) in the new bookDangerous Visions and New Worlds: Radical Science Fiction, 1950 to 1985, via PM Press, also the publishers ofMoorcock’s latest work.The Bickershaw Festival was also the European debut for the New Riders of the Purple Sage, the Dead spin-off band that had featured Jerry Garcia on pedal steel until the previous fall, replaced by Buddy Cage. Deadcast pal Corry Arnold has assembledthe first complete chronology of the New Riders’ European adventures.As always, we are thankful for some interviews borrowed from friends, this episode including a cool Blair Jackson conversation with recordist Dennis “Wiz” Leonard that first appeared inThis Is All A Dream We Dreamed, co-written by Blair and David Gans.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsEurope ‘72: The Netherlands supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowIn Amsterdam, the Grateful Dead recorded the tracks for theEurope ‘72version of “He’s Gone,” though would overdub vocals and other parts later in the summer. Labeled as “He’s Long Gone” on the tour’s tape boxes, it was written as an anti-tribute to the band’s ex-manager Lenny Hart. Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter wrote the song in the spring of 1972, just before departing for the tour, and just after Hart was sentenced to six months in prison for absconding with the Dead’s money. Robert Hunter posted anearly draft of the lyrics, and Alex Allan hastracked some of the variations. The song would take on new meanings and new jams as it evolved in the Dead’s repertoire through 1995.To discuss Bill Kreutzmann’s drumming on this episode, we welcome the great drummer (anddrum teacher) John Colpitts, aka Kid Millions, aka Man Forever, of far-out bands like the long-runningOneidaand the more recently establishedKheth Astron.

Labeled as “He’s Long Gone” on the tour’s tape boxes, it was written as an anti-tribute to the band’s ex-manager Lenny Hart. Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter wrote the song in the spring of 1972, just before departing for the tour, and just after Hart was sentenced to six months in prison for absconding with the Dead’s money. Robert Hunter posted anearly draft of the lyrics, and Alex Allan hastracked some of the variations. The song would take on new meanings and new jams as it evolved in the Dead’s repertoire through 1995.To discuss Bill Kreutzmann’s drumming on this episode, we welcome the great drummer (anddrum teacher) John Colpitts, aka Kid Millions, aka Man Forever, of far-out bands like the long-runningOneidaand the more recently establishedKheth Astron. He orchestrated the “Drums/Space” segment of theDay of the Deadtribute.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsEurope ‘72: Epilogue supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowThough Jerry Garcia was back onstage with Merl Saunders and friends in San Francisco by June 3rd, 1972, the Grateful Dead had six weeks off from performing following their return from two months in Europe, give or take a high-profile gig at the Hollywood Bowl. Garcia, at least, caught one the first shows of the Rolling Stones’ U.S. ‘72 tour, at Winterland on the afternoon of June 6th.Over the next few months, the band would turn some 73 hours of tape into a triple-LP set, to be released in the fall. First, they bounced tour highlights down to a set of sub-reels, to determine which performances would be polished for album inclusion. A complete list of sub-reels is below. Listen toa playlist of the album semi-finalists here. In July and August, the band spent time overdubbing vocals and a few selected other parts, with the dates assembled below.Oteil Burbridge is, of course, the bassist in Dead & Co. With Mike Finoia, he co-hosts the Comes A Time podcast, whorecently had Rich & Jesse as guests.Guest Bill Giles is the keyboardist in the Grateful Dudes, who will be staging theirPlaying on the Farm mini-festivalthis July.Erik Davis is the author ofHigh Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, and publishes theBurning Shorenewsletter.TOUR-END MIXES* - used onEurope ‘72SUB REEL #1Cumberland Blues8 April - Empire Pool*Mr. Charlie17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal23 May - Lyceum Ballroom*26 May - Lyceum BallroomOne More Saturday Night17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #2Yellow Dog Joke8 April - Empire PoolBrown Eyed Women8 April - Empire Pool14 April - Tivolis Koncertsal*Tennessee Jed8 April - Empire Pool3 May - L’Olympia*10 May - ConcertgebouwNext Time You See Me4 May - L’OlympiaSUB REEL #3Beat It On Down the Line3 May - L’Olympia16 May - Concert Hall, Villa Louvigny18 May - KongresssaalHe’s Gone10 May - Concertgebouw*23 May - Lyceum BallroomChinatown Shuffle24 May - Lyceum Ballroom26 May - Lyceum BallroomThe Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #4China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal29 April - Musikhalle3 May - L’Olympia*SUB REEL #5China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider16 May -  Concert Hall, Villa Louvigny23 May - Lyceum Ballroom26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #6It Hurts Me Too17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal3 May - L’Olympia24 May - Lyceum Ballroom*El Paso11 May -  Grote Zaal De Doelen26 May - Lyceum BallroomYou Win Again24 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #7Ramble On Rose14 April - Tivolis Koncertsal4 May - L’Olympia10 May - Concertgebouw18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #8Jack Straw26 April - Jahrhunderthalle3 May - L’Olympia*11 May - Grote Zaal De Doelen23 May - Lyceum BallroomComes A Time26 April - Jahrhunderthalle23 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #9Sing Me Back Home4 May - L’Olympia18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #10Sugar Magnolia4 May - L’Olympia*11 May - Grote Zaal De Doelen18 May - KongresssaalTruckin’3 May - L’OlympiaEurope ‘72overdub session datesJuly 3rd“Cumberland Blues” - Garcia, vocals.July 5th“Ramble On Rose” - Garcia, Lesh, Weir vocalsJuly 6th“He’s Gone” - Garcia, Lesh, Weir, D.

The Bickershaw episode, in particular, had a Studs Terkel vibe to it. Good shit.One question I had about the studio-sweetened elements of the released album wasn't addressed in the Epilogue episode and I'm hoping someone could clue me in—what was the rationale behind using varispeed to raise the pitch on certain cuts (Cumberland is a conspicuous example)?Cheers! Looking forward to the next season.Gundogmutt3 years 1 month agoThanksThank you so much for putting out this season on Europe '72. The quality of the production and the information was excellent. It was really fun to listen to and relate to my experience of the record when it came out in the fall of my freshman year in college. I had been playing guitar for 10 years by that time, and my friends and I learned many of those songs and played them a lot in various configurations (still do). We used to get up close at concert to figure out what Jerry and Bob were doing- because there was no YouTube- Bob's playing in particular was a mystery- because he played so unconventionally for a rhythm player. But we picked up a lot.I am among those who feel this was the band's peak, which was expressed by people on the podcast (like Oteil in this last episode). Really for me it's 1970-74, but everyone has their favorite time. I just like the energy they played with then- they rocked and they swung. The new songs and covers were great- I don't think Jerry and Hunter ever had a more fruitful time- nor did the band- in just a few year period they produced Workingman's, American Beauty, Skull and Roses, Garcia, Ace and Europe '72. Not to mention (and this is worthy of its own podcast) what Jerry was doing as a musician at the time: Full-time mega output with the Dead, learns pedal steel (!!!) and  co-founds the New Riders,  starts the Garcia Band with Merle Saunders, and starts Old and In The Way, playing banjo. Oh, and he played every instrument on 'Garcia' except drums. I think the podcast does a good job of talking about some of this- but really, with all the other interesting things to talk about with Garcia, as well as all the 60's cultural icon noise, his sheer musical genius is  overlooked. This is definitely true in the music scene, where some people can't get past the Dead Head hippie cliche and really see what the band was doing. And what Jerry was doing.Another thank you for documenting the development of Alembic and all the other sound and light innovations the band was responsible for, again for which they get almost no credit.

Garcia, at least, caught one the first shows of the Rolling Stones’ U.S. ‘72 tour, at Winterland on the afternoon of June 6th.Over the next few months, the band would turn some 73 hours of tape into a triple-LP set, to be released in the fall. First, they bounced tour highlights down to a set of sub-reels, to determine which performances would be polished for album inclusion. A complete list of sub-reels is below. Listen toa playlist of the album semi-finalists here. In July and August, the band spent time overdubbing vocals and a few selected other parts, with the dates assembled below.Oteil Burbridge is, of course, the bassist in Dead & Co. With Mike Finoia, he co-hosts the Comes A Time podcast, whorecently had Rich & Jesse as guests.Guest Bill Giles is the keyboardist in the Grateful Dudes, who will be staging theirPlaying on the Farm mini-festivalthis July.Erik Davis is the author ofHigh Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, and publishes theBurning Shorenewsletter.TOUR-END MIXES* - used onEurope ‘72SUB REEL #1Cumberland Blues8 April - Empire Pool*Mr. Charlie17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal23 May - Lyceum Ballroom*26 May - Lyceum BallroomOne More Saturday Night17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #2Yellow Dog Joke8 April - Empire PoolBrown Eyed Women8 April - Empire Pool14 April - Tivolis Koncertsal*Tennessee Jed8 April - Empire Pool3 May - L’Olympia*10 May - ConcertgebouwNext Time You See Me4 May - L’OlympiaSUB REEL #3Beat It On Down the Line3 May - L’Olympia16 May - Concert Hall, Villa Louvigny18 May - KongresssaalHe’s Gone10 May - Concertgebouw*23 May - Lyceum BallroomChinatown Shuffle24 May - Lyceum Ballroom26 May - Lyceum BallroomThe Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #4China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal29 April - Musikhalle3 May - L’Olympia*SUB REEL #5China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider16 May -  Concert Hall, Villa Louvigny23 May - Lyceum Ballroom26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #6It Hurts Me Too17 April - Tivolis Koncertsal3 May - L’Olympia24 May - Lyceum Ballroom*El Paso11 May -  Grote Zaal De Doelen26 May - Lyceum BallroomYou Win Again24 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #7Ramble On Rose14 April - Tivolis Koncertsal4 May - L’Olympia10 May - Concertgebouw18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum Ballroom*SUB REEL #8Jack Straw26 April - Jahrhunderthalle3 May - L’Olympia*11 May - Grote Zaal De Doelen23 May - Lyceum BallroomComes A Time26 April - Jahrhunderthalle23 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #9Sing Me Back Home4 May - L’Olympia18 May - Kongresssaal26 May - Lyceum BallroomSUB REEL #10Sugar Magnolia4 May - L’Olympia*11 May - Grote Zaal De Doelen18 May - KongresssaalTruckin’3 May - L’OlympiaEurope ‘72overdub session datesJuly 3rd“Cumberland Blues” - Garcia, vocals.July 5th“Ramble On Rose” - Garcia, Lesh, Weir vocalsJuly 6th“He’s Gone” - Garcia, Lesh, Weir, D.

The quality of the production and the information was excellent. It was really fun to listen to and relate to my experience of the record when it came out in the fall of my freshman year in college. I had been playing guitar for 10 years by that time, and my friends and I learned many of those songs and played them a lot in various configurations (still do). We used to get up close at concert to figure out what Jerry and Bob were doing- because there was no YouTube- Bob's playing in particular was a mystery- because he played so unconventionally for a rhythm player. But we picked up a lot.I am among those who feel this was the band's peak, which was expressed by people on the podcast (like Oteil in this last episode). Really for me it's 1970-74, but everyone has their favorite time. I just like the energy they played with then- they rocked and they swung. The new songs and covers were great- I don't think Jerry and Hunter ever had a more fruitful time- nor did the band- in just a few year period they produced Workingman's, American Beauty, Skull and Roses, Garcia, Ace and Europe '72. Not to mention (and this is worthy of its own podcast) what Jerry was doing as a musician at the time: Full-time mega output with the Dead, learns pedal steel (!!!) and  co-founds the New Riders,  starts the Garcia Band with Merle Saunders, and starts Old and In The Way, playing banjo. Oh, and he played every instrument on 'Garcia' except drums. I think the podcast does a good job of talking about some of this- but really, with all the other interesting things to talk about with Garcia, as well as all the 60's cultural icon noise, his sheer musical genius is  overlooked. This is definitely true in the music scene, where some people can't get past the Dead Head hippie cliche and really see what the band was doing. And what Jerry was doing.Another thank you for documenting the development of Alembic and all the other sound and light innovations the band was responsible for, again for which they get almost no credit. And thanks for the part which featured Rick Turner talking about his development as a luthier and his work on the Alligator Strat guitar. (So I guess when you play one of the most killer steel guitar parts ever recorded for a friend's record, you get a very cool guitar!)My only (slight) criticism of the season would be I think one play-by-play on Dark Star was enough. There wasn't much new insight after awhile.Again thanks so much you guys for putting this out there- I really appreciate it and turned a lot of people on to it.Log inorregisterto post commentsuser pictureMember for3 years 6 monthsSubmitted byTheSizzleron Sat, 06/11/2022 - 23:22PermalinkVarispeed?Fantastic season—truly amazing from top to bottom. The Bickershaw episode, in particular, had a Studs Terkel vibe to it. Good shit.One question I had about the studio-sweetened elements of the released album wasn't addressed in the Epilogue episode and I'm hoping someone could clue me in—what was the rationale behind using varispeed to raise the pitch on certain cuts (Cumberland is a conspicuous example)?Cheers!

I've just shared the Bobby 75 podcast on our Facebook page, as it is a great summary of the process that led to the Kennedy Center run of shows.  I am wondering if it would be OK to use text quotes (not audio) from Giancarlo's interview in the Stanford Department of Music's publicity channels? If so, I'd appreciate feedback confirming that, and whatever crediting I should include.Giancarlo walked me through the ""Dark Star"" score that was used with the Marin Symphony some years ago. More recently, I heard the MIDI simulation for his Overture, which is jam-packed with ""secret Dead clues"", and I was able to attend some closed rehearsals in January and August of this year that happened at Stanford with a student orchestra so that Bob and his guys could actually hear an orchestra onstage while they played.  These were in some cases ""cold reads"" with no advance preparation for the orchestra — our Stanford kids and some community musicians did a tremendous job playing Giancarlo's orchestrations of songs such as China Cat/Rider and Lost Sailor/ Saint for the very first time with a full orchestra.

Jerry Garcia was a pretty serious early Mac geek, and we were able to draw on two pretty heady conversations he had about tech topics,Mary Eisenhart’s 1987 BAM interview, andHoward Rheingold’s 1990 talk with Garcia and Bear(audiohere). Howard Rheingold wrote early books onVirtual Reality,The Virtual Community, andother topics.Once John Perry Barlow got online at the turn of the ‘90s, he became what David Gans dubbed “the lord-mayor of cyberspace.” In fact, Barlow is credited as being the first to apply William Gibson’s term “cyberspace” to the emergent technologies known as the internet. As a co-founder of theElectronic Frontier Foundation, Barlow became one of the net’s early theorizers, writing influential manifestos like “Selling Wine Without Bottles: The Economy of Mind on the Global Net” and “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace” that helped shape life and commerce on the internet. More recently, April Glaser contributed the respectful reassessment, “The Incomplete Vision of John Perry Barlow.”The archives of early Dead Head online communities are far from complete, but fun to peruse, includingnet.gdead,net.music.gdead, and the still-activerec.music.gdead. Intrepid correspondent Christian Crumlish tracked down the starting point for a few well-worn memes includingDale the Porsche Guy(just a troll, according to our forensics) and an origin for the “5/8/77 is a hoax” story.Grateful Dead MIDI guru Bob Bralove andLive/Deadera organist Tom Constanten have a new album out in their Dose Hermanos guise,The Persistence of Memory.

Alongside the Dead’s nearly full-time schedule and launch of their record company, Garcia played in two other nearly full-time bands – his three-year running bar band with organist Merl Saunders, bassist John Kahn, and drummer Bill Vitt, and brand new bluegrass supergroup Old & In the Way with Kahn, mandolinist David Grisman, guitarist Peter Roman, and fiddler Vassar Clements.Richard Loren began to manage Jerry Garcia’s career outside the Dead in late 1972 and would take on managerial responsibilities with the Dead themselves starting a few years later, working with them through the early 1980s. He is the author of the delightful memoir,High Notes.Jerry Garcia’s adventures in bluegrass in the early 1960s can be heard on theBefore The Deadbox set.Old and in the Way can be heard on their self-titled debut, as well as the expanded version of Owsley Stanley’s tapes,The Boarding House: The Complete Recordings, from October 1st and 8th, 1973, available from Acoustic Disc. The Owsley Stanley Foundation recently releasedThe Chieftains in San Francisco, featuring Owsley’s recordings of capturing Irish folk heroes the Chieftains opening for Old & in the Way in October 1973, and a return to San Francisco in 1976.We spoke with David Grisman for our American Beauty season, but ended up talking a bunch about Old & In the Way, too. More recently, Dawg has launched his ownpodcast, via his durable Acoustic Disc label, which has included episodes about his work with Jerry Garcia and others.The great Peter Rowan continues to tour and record as well, most recently 2022’sCalling You From My Mountain.Jerry Garcia’s 1973 work with Merl Saunders can be heard on a variety of official releases, including the original Live at Keystone and its sequels, as well as GarciaLive Volume 12 (at the Boarding House in January with Sarah Fulcher), and GarciaLive Volume 6 (at the Lion’s Share in July). I interviewed Sarah several years ago for the GarciaLive Volume 12 liner notes and published an expanded version in Aquarium Drunkard.

On this episode, we welcome Alan Paul, author of the great forthcoming book,Brothers & Sisters: The Allman Brothers and the Inside Story of the Album that Defined the ‘70s.Though the shows were in Washington, they were the result ofa relationship with Philadelphia’s Electric Factory, detailed by Dead scholar Corry Arnold. (Events at the show would also put a pause on that relationship for a few years.)The newsletter that went out to the mailing list in late May or early June 1973 featuredAlan Trist’s State of the Changesalongside Mary Ann Mayer’s infamous illustration of the Ouroboros, the serpent that eats its own tail, to visualize the band’s business affairs. The band’searly 1973 newslettersare filled with enigmatic delights, including illustrations and cryptic wisdom by Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, and Willy LeGate, among others.A small sliver of silent footageshows the parking lot camping scene at RFK and the band playing inside. The show on June 10th was the final performance of “Wave That Flag,” an early draft of what became “U.S. Blues” with slightly different lyrics. Our guest Ihor Slabicky compiled the first version of his Compleat Grateful Dead Discography in the late 1970s,now available online.There were a number of mysterious cancellations in spring 1973.On May 27th, the Dead and the Allmans had been scheduled to play the Ontario Motor Speedway in California. On June 15th, the Dead were booked at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati (canceled due to “insurmountable” obstacles, according to newspaper reports), and at Denver Coliseum on June 20th (a show thatimmolated under sketchy circumstances).1 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetHBOcal19172 years agoGreat to listen to this.

The show on June 10th was the final performance of “Wave That Flag,” an early draft of what became “U.S. Blues” with slightly different lyrics. Our guest Ihor Slabicky compiled the first version of his Compleat Grateful Dead Discography in the late 1970s,now available online.There were a number of mysterious cancellations in spring 1973.On May 27th, the Dead and the Allmans had been scheduled to play the Ontario Motor Speedway in California. On June 15th, the Dead were booked at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati (canceled due to “insurmountable” obstacles, according to newspaper reports), and at Denver Coliseum on June 20th (a show thatimmolated under sketchy circumstances).Commentuser pictureMember for2 yearsSubmitted byHBOcal1917on Tue, 06/20/2023 - 17:56PermalinkGreat to listen to this. I…Great to listen to this. I was at 6/10 with a group of about 6/7 friends but clearly recall walking up once day had begun with Brothers playing.  Came from Eastern Shore of Maryland and met friends in Silver Spring to do our pre show festivities and then proceed to RFK. My son used the tapers version we had as a handout to his wedding guests in mid 2000’s.

I didn't expect it to take the turns it did.Phil Lesh's voice appears to be present. I wasn't able to truly identify him as the bassistin the beginning and I'm still not certain he is. However, I did start to formulate an idea somewhere around Billy's drum solo,that the bassist is John Kahn. The tones and note choices sound just like him.This would throw a wrench into the idea of it being a Grateful Dead session, and I'm prepared to duck, for surely someonewould be coming at me for even suggesting such a thing!Log inorregisterto post commentsuser pictureMember for3 years 5 monthsSubmitted bysugarinthegourdon Wed, 11/08/2023 - 13:36PermalinkOn the CornerThis is bonkers.

They’re playing it!”I couldn’t begin to count how many times I’ve simultaneously had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face at a Dead show, but this one felt really intense…heart breaking open intense…Soon after the show I remembered reading or hearing something about how Phil said “If we start playing Unbroken Chain, it will probably be our last shows” or something along those lines…I can not find the source for this “quote”…I’ve looked through Blair Jackson’s “Goin’ Down The Road” and David Gans “Conversations with The Dead” where Phil speaks of how difficult the song is and how they would have to relearn the parts and that maybe it would happen, but nothing cryptic about the meaning of Unbroken Chain appearing on the setlist.I did lose a lot of books, Relix, Dupree’s Diamond News, and Golden Road publications in a flood in 2010, but the article/interview would have to be before 1995…At the time, lots of life changes were starting to happen with a 3 year old kid and my family moving to a different house so I ended up not going to any shows on the 1995 Summer “tour from hell” which is probably for the best…but I do wish I could have seen Jerry Garcia one more time…Whatever may have been said about the Grateful Dead performing Unbroken Chain live, it was the last song I saw Jerry Garcia play.Thank you to everyone involved with the Good ‘Ole Grateful Deadcast!dkat1 year 2 months agoNew Potato Caboose lyricSince 1969, I've been hearing ""Above my doorknob, two eagles hang, against a cloud.""

With its handmade feel, it’s been a favorite of mine since a righteous friend of my dad’s passed along his LP to me when I was a budding music head (along with Television’sMarquee Moon, the Sex Pistols’Never Mind the Bollocks…, and a Dead/New Riders bootleg from ‘71).We’ve explored the work of the writer and Grateful Dead lyricist before, especially on ourKeys To The Rainepisode (celebrating what would have been Hunter’s 80th birthday in 2021), and inPrelude/Tuesday Night Jam(uncovering a never-rumored tape of Hunter leading the Garcia-less Dead in a wondrously experimental and playful studio session). Despite his folky roots, it wasn’t a given that Hunter ended up as a singer-songwriter. Until 1974, his only appearance on record was in the outro of the “Dark Star” single, reading a poem transcribedon Alex Allan’s indispensable WhiteGum.First and foremost, Robert Hunter was a writer. In the early ‘60s, he pennedthe Silver Snarling Trumpet, a roman à clef about the early Palo Alto scene, finally scheduled for publication later this year. He only occasionally published his writing, beginning with the “Starship ‘Grateful Dead’: An Instruction Manual” (discovered and annotated by Christopher Coffman, and subject ofits own study), the co-authored missives (with Jerry Garcia and Alan Trist) “by” St. Dilbert in theDead Headsnewsletter, as well as his own series of poems for Dead Heads in 1972 and 1973 (each signed with a glyph).In 1974, Robert Hunter passed Jerry Garcia’s Gibson SG to guitarist John Perry, who would go on to co-found the legendary UK band the Only Ones. But in 1975, the guitar was stolen from the boot of his car (alongside the car itself) outside Dingwalls, the London punk club. The American flag stickers were gone by then, as was the Bigsby tremolo (though you could make out the remains of both), but the guitar could still be out there. Perry never knew the serial number, and photos of the guitar indicate that its serial number wasn’t in the usual place on the back of the headstock, but keep an eye out!2 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -Offsetmarye11 months 3 weeks agoQuestion from GDeadMattLooking to post a comment/question on the Deadcast episode for Tales of the Great Rumrunner but can't seem to find a way to do so.

It's the first time I listened to the Deadcast.  I didn't travel down for this show but was admitted to Duke for matriculation in January 1979.  By that time I'd seen 6 shows starting at the Palladium then Englishtown 20 minutes from where I grew up. Also the Boston Music Hall, The Spectrum spring 78 and Giants Stadium 1978.   The stories people told about being a Deadhead at Duke, the waiting for tickets the crowd around Cameron that day were all the same four years later.A couple of things I'd like to point out is I read through the archives when I was at Duke and I think the biggest reason they didn't want them back after 78 were the motorcycle gangs on campus that day.   The Dead wanted to play Cameron again in the Spring of 81 but Major Attractions couldn't get approval because the show would have been after the semester during finals.

It's the first time I listened to the Deadcast.  I didn't travel down for this show but was admitted to Duke for matriculation in January 1979.  By that time I'd seen 6 shows starting at the Palladium then Englishtown 20 minutes from where I grew up. Also the Boston Music Hall, The Spectrum spring 78 and Giants Stadium 1978.   The stories people told about being a Deadhead at Duke, the waiting for tickets the crowd around Cameron that day were all the same four years later.A couple of things I'd like to point out is I read through the archives when I was at Duke and I think the biggest reason they didn't want them back after 78 were the motorcycle gangs on campus that day.   The Dead wanted to play Cameron again in the Spring of 81 but Major Attractions couldn't get approval because the show would have been after the semester during finals.  There was a big open meeting on campus to try and get enough people involved to convince the administration when the Dead reached out.I really enjoyed listening to Nick who I haven't seen in about 25 years.  When I first saw Nick at Duke you could tell just by looking at his big, bushy beard he was a Deadhead.I can't remember if it was my first or second semester at Duke but I was shocked getting back to my dorm late at night and seeing the TV in the commons room with the Grateful Dead playing on the TV.

+                MoreSupplemental MaterialsEnjoying the Ride: Bay Area, Part 2, supplementary notesby Jesse JarnowThe Grateful Dead and the Dead Heads enjoyed many high times at the Oakland Auditorium Arena, which changed its name to the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center in 1985. As a successor to Winterland, the Kaiser became the site of some of the first overnight camping and vending scenes during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s New Year’s runs. When it reopened in 1985, the band played 3 separate runs there that year, including the November shows on Enjoying the Ride that drew heavily onthe Warlocks’ repertoire.The Dead first played the Greek Theatre ona multi-act bill in October 1967, one of their last quintet shows before Mickey Hart joined full-time later that fall. On Friday, July 13th, 1984, under a full moon (and shooting star over the Greek), with images of Mars projecting on either side of the band, the Dead revived “Dark Star” for the first time since 1981, the second since 1979, and the last for another five years. Part of the mid-’80s Mars mania, involvedpyramids and giant stone faces that were allegedly seen in telescopic photos of Mars, reaching such a fever pitch that the CIA contracted a psychic to teleport to 1,000,000 BC and report back.True story, there’s even atranscript.Hugh Romney founded the Hog Farm around the first time he became close with Owsley Stanley, the Merry Pranksters, and Grateful Dead in early 1966, and a few years before he changed his name to Wavy Gravy. Operating as psychedelic ground control at Woodstock, the Hog Farm used freakout-averting techniques Romney began to develop at the Watts Acid Test, which we discussed in ourLA ‘66episode. By the ‘80s, with the Dead scene growing, Bill Graham and Grateful Dead Productions regularly contracted a small Skeleton Crew from the Hog Farm to help keep things chill in the lots, led by the powerful Calico, once a prominent avant-garde jazz journalist and radio DJ, in return for support of the Hog Farm’s still-thrivingCamp Winnarainbow. The Hog Farm, in turn, maintained direct connections with the Merry Prankster universe sprouting around Eugene, which explored in our Sunshine Daydream episodes (part 1,part 2).2 commentssort byRecentRecentOldestA to ZZ to AResetItems displayed35102550- All -CommentSort byThreadPost dateTitleOrderAscDescItems per page35102550- All -OffsetJedwin2 months 1 week agoDeadcast T-shirtWe need a T-shirt of the cool colorful design of this season‘s deadcast logo image!cm33922 months 2 weeks agoAwesome episode, as always!…Awesome episode, as always!

On Friday, July 13th, 1984, under a full moon (and shooting star over the Greek), with images of Mars projecting on either side of the band, the Dead revived “Dark Star” for the first time since 1981, the second since 1979, and the last for another five years. Part of the mid-’80s Mars mania, involvedpyramids and giant stone faces that were allegedly seen in telescopic photos of Mars, reaching such a fever pitch that the CIA contracted a psychic to teleport to 1,000,000 BC and report back.True story, there’s even atranscript.Hugh Romney founded the Hog Farm around the first time he became close with Owsley Stanley, the Merry Pranksters, and Grateful Dead in early 1966, and a few years before he changed his name to Wavy Gravy. Operating as psychedelic ground control at Woodstock, the Hog Farm used freakout-averting techniques Romney began to develop at the Watts Acid Test, which we discussed in ourLA ‘66episode. By the ‘80s, with the Dead scene growing, Bill Graham and Grateful Dead Productions regularly contracted a small Skeleton Crew from the Hog Farm to help keep things chill in the lots, led by the powerful Calico, once a prominent avant-garde jazz journalist and radio DJ, in return for support of the Hog Farm’s still-thrivingCamp Winnarainbow. The Hog Farm, in turn, maintained direct connections with the Merry Prankster universe sprouting around Eugene, which explored in our Sunshine Daydream episodes (part 1,part 2).Commentuser pictureMember for1 year 1 monthSubmitted bycm3392on Mon, 04/28/2025 - 04:45PermalinkAwesome episode, as always!…Awesome episode, as always!
