JERRY

YEAH MAN......We Love You And Miss You Jerry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NTFDAWY

Rest in Peace. You deserve nothing less for the joy your music and vibes gave to the world. While you may have left us physically, only a fool would think that your spirit is no longer with us and living within us. Peace

when the bus came by..........

Where were you in this day of history? Driveing my car down a country road. Nearly wrecked into a ditch hearing the news come over my radio. Wept..........

THANK YOU JERRY

The music is the greatest gift of all. So much love.

Remembering

I had just gotten home from work when I got a phone call. I completely thought it was a joke. But my friend told me to turn on the TV and sure enough it was sadly true. It was just like losing a family member or other loved one, because I truly loved this guy, ya know? I made it down to the beach (OB, SD, CA) where there was a great gathering of mourners. It was surreal.

My Heart sings...

because you were here to sheperd us through this crazy world, you and the boys. To feel the depth of the beauty and grace you shared with us...is breath-taking. Thank you, Jerry

Grateful.......

Will never forget the Music and the Magic........ I miss it dearly. Peace to all you fellow travelers who believed and helped to make "IT" happen. Someday we shall be there again! And thank you Jerry.......

Could Garcia speak Spanish?

I was at this show when the boys trotted out La Bamba for the very first time... a pretty good mix, in my humble opinion. AND this post has nothing to do with the current Call the tune, Round 14!! something I've wondered, Could Garcia speak Spanish? peace.

HIS DAD WAS SPANIS, SO MAYBE...

nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile

I also

I also asked this on the DNC board, and some folks said yes he could and others said he couldn't... anyways, he was really cute singing La Bamba! arriba y arriba!!

Jerry and AC/DC

I think Jerry in a schoolboy suit would have been FUN to see!! Dig! "May your dogs be with you"

School boy Jerry

about as close as he ever came to an Angus school boy suit:

Thanks eojCC

Jerry on Stage

Does anybody know why Jerry moved from playing on the right side of the stage to the left? The switch appears to have happened in the late 70s.

why?

I've heard a rumor:Jerry wanted to be on the same side of the stage like Ace Freehly of KISS. Garcia was a huge KISS fan in the late 70's, often seen backstage at KISS shows. in fact, Jerry taought Ace how to play, if you listen carefully6, you will notice similarities in their lead styles. Ace used to bust his balls, saying he was on the Gene side. hope this helps. peace.

I Thought...

it was so he could be closer to the buffet, hahahahaha! "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

Jerry on right side

I think it was to hang with Brent. Brent rekindled the fire in the band, and it is well known that Jerry liked playing with new people. You could always see him light up when a guest player was on stage.

I never knew that

about Jerry and KISS. mmm to be taught by Jerry, man The buffet? He He , That one warranted a laugh, thanks Right on Cable guy. Never thought of that either. Learning new and cool things everyday What a journey PEACE

I never knew that

Sorry, I've developed a stutter

It doesn't sound how'd I'd hoped after 4 posts

We used to see

this problem a lot more, but it hasn't been in evidence so much lately. Sorry for the aggravation!

We've switched a bunch of positions..........

If you can find a copy of Norfolk 1982, Bobby makes an announcement on stage about the the position changes. I think it's before Peggy-O. I had the tape many moons ago. Maybe it was the quality of the recording, but most of his statement was incoherent. So I have no idea what he said. The last time I remember listening to Norfolk 1982 was in the year 1982. So I could be totally wrong about this. lol.

in the middle

Can't remember the year. ..I know that's shocking but it seems like late 70's maybe a show in Providence...Jerry was set up in the middle...I liked the left and the right sides but he did get into jammin' with Brent.

wolf

frisko-mobb shop tattoo aurora,co i came up with the wolf for most of my time touring. so it definetly is my fav when i awoke the wolf was grinning at my window. all i said was |come on in|

friskotatt2

I'll take two, as well... :-) "If the forms of this world die, which is more real, the me that dies or the me that's infinite? Can I trust my habitual mind, or do I need to learn to look beneath those things?"

my generation

The sadest part about being a 22 year old deadhead is that I'll never have the opportunity to see Jerry play :( ~littlebri

yeah...

but if it's any comfort, in the end I think there are going to be more of you than there are of us, and it will just keep going in whatever way it figures out.

Age doesn't mean a fucking

Age doesn't mean a fucking thing. I saw Jerry once and my wife saw him about thirty times. It all comes down to personal taste. I personally don't like anal folk who shit on younger fans, but thats just me. marye makes a good and unevitable point, we all move on from life. All of the folks who experienced the Grateful Dead will eventually be replaced with people who havn't. Who the fuck cares? Enjoying the music? Well turn it up then!

???

Am I wrong? It's about sharing and getting along. Isn't it?

There were days, and there were days...

littlebri Get all the DvD's you can afford, especially the reissued Grateful Dead Movie, and Winterland. In the reissued Grateful Dead movie, the last disk with the extra cuts is heaven on earth. Play that on a nice big screen, with great sound, turn down the lights, and you will see Jerry live. I must of seen hundreds of shows; very fortunate indeed. It wasn't the first show, but the second, where I the dead were forever etched in my heart & soul. It was a show in the week at the Fillmore in April of 1971, when TC was a guest, and opened the 2nd set with Morning Dew. That entire show is beyond words and remains my favortie to this day, although there are quite a few close to it. Jerry, Pigpen, Keith, Brent, Jimi, Duane, Janis and to all the rainbow warriors who have moved on to become...... you are missed. Forever young -Easywind

Still Discovering

Thanks Easywind, but I have already done that. One of the greatest things about being a younger deadhead is that I am still learning and discovering the Grateful Dead, and yes, I agree that there are many more of us younger ones than vets (especially out here on the west coast of BC). I do wish I could have seen Janis and all the others, but Jerry is the one musician that I appreciate the most out of all of them, so I will just continue to experience all the music the best way I know how.~littlebri

Chris

You are NOT wrong. In fact, you couldn't be more right. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Jerry's tools

Live Dead = The SGEurope 72 = The Strat Without a Net = Tiger Fender preamp. Love the simple stuff. Love the live stuff. Like the envelope follower. After "Built to Last" the Guitar technology became an explosion of digitally enhanced infinite possibilities. Jerry was a kid in a candy store.

Buy Jerry's Kitchen Sink?

The dude who bought Jerry's assorted household effects -- the same guy who auctioned off the toilet last year -- is now auctioning off everything else, including the kitchen sink. And before you say anything snarky, because lord knows I did, keep in mind that the proceeds benefit a fine charity here in Oakland, one for which my own dogsitter also throws fundraisers! So, while I am not in the market for Jerry's sink, here's the info.

Sound First

I think "soundwise" for the most part "Tiger" had the sweetest sound. It had that signiture "bell tone" that was just beautiful. The later Tiger spin-offs like Rosebud and Lightning Bolt were not as pure tone wise, even when the midi effects were not being used. I think he was using the Graham Nash Strat (Alligator) during my favorite shows of 71', but I'm not sure. There were a few other guitars he used in 71' as well. But whatever it was he was using during the Fillmore East shows really allowed Jerry to reach the stratosphere (no pun intended) in those jams.

The Travis Bean

I was 16 years old when i saw a tag on a Travis Bean guitar w/ a picture of Jerry on it saying "Travis Bean The best damn production guitar made today" In Roosevelt Feild Mall on Long island!! Two week's later i saw him playing one @ The Calderone Concert Hall In Hempstead NY and the opening Sugaree Blew me away and I've been loving that sound ever since !! But i think it was jerry's approach to the different guitars that has made him my favorite guitarist of all time! Oh how i wish i had bought that Travis Bean back in the day!!Rogue

Patti Smith on "Jerry Week"

Patti Smith, who's something of a legend herself, posted this last year, and I think it's one of the most amazing things ever written on Jer: Check it out!
