    Thank you Jerry!
    Words can't even begin to describe how much I miss you. Seeing the Grateful Dead for the first time back in '89 was something that has forever changed so many aspects of my life for the better, and I will always be eternally grateful. What a long, strange trip it is indeed. Thank you Jerry for a REAL good time! Peace

    Happy Birthday Jerry- You
    Happy Birthday Jerry- You changed the course and purpose of my life , through the places your guitar tool me to, and the raw emotion of your imperfect but yet heartfelt vocals. I will always remember the way you would take all my troubles away, re-energize me, and send me back out to the mean old world outside the tour. Peace and love to all my fellow Deadheads

    Jerry Latin Video Info - Hit the jackpot!
    I was starting to write a reply in speculation of info about these videos and thought, let me google what I know and see what I find! JACKPOT! Indeed they are both from the same event as Jerry is looking identical in both videos. Here is the full scoop below! Looks like something I will for sure purchase on DVD! It seems this video is out there everywhere as it is a new release so, buy it from where you wish to give your money. I was going to include the Amazon link, but there are other places to purchase it from too. Simply Google: Caliente y Picante: A Latino Session and you will find it at many online retailers. Sweet! Brother A - - - - - - - - - - - - Video Name: Caliente y Picante: A Latino Session (2007) DVD Release Date: June 5, 2007 Description: Caliente y PIcante is a once-in-a-lifetime concert jam by an all-star roster of Latino musicians, including the "Mambo king" Tito Puente, the "Queen of Salsa" Celia Cruz, Carlos Santana and Ruben Blades. Filmed live at Los Angeles's Bitmore Bowl in August 1989, this film recaptures an incredible evening of rhythm and fun. Track Listings: Mandela -- Carlos Santana Goodness and Mercy -- Carlos Santana Get Uppa -- Carlos Santana & Jerry Garcia Bamboleo -- Celia Cruz Quimbara -- Celia Cruz, Tito Puente & Poncho Sanchez De Corazon a Corazon -- Tito Puente & Millie Puente Cuentas del Alma -- Ruben Blades Ojos de Perro Azul -- Ruben Blades Muevete -- Ruben Blades & Jerry Garcia America the Beautiful -- Santana, Garcia, Cruz, Puente & Blades

    Salute to The Man!
    I do miss Jerry a lot ... and also The Grateful Dead as a band ... the band that still should have been around today ... playing the music ... bringing joy to the world ... It's a sad feeling Jerry is no longer among the living ... but on the other hand he lives on through the music ... for that I'm eternal Grateful ... :-) Micke in Sweden, deadhead since nov 1978 (Garcia-fan since Spring 1976)

    Couldn't resist one more.......Video Jerry!
    I guess these videos are for those who have not yet explored the wonderful offerings on You Tube. Simply type in Jerry Garcia in the YouTube seach bar and you will be pleasantly surprised at what you find! Here is another favorite with Steve Jordan, Carlos Santana, and Jerry Garcia!!! Jerry really rips this one up towards the end! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhX9DJIZ1NU Peace, Brother A

    Jerry Video - A Birthday Celebration Treat!
    Hey Everyone! Just thought I would share this video clip I found on YouTube. I have looked here before and this seems like a new one. You have to wait it out a bit as they do not let the Jer man in for some play time until towards the end of the song, but it is so great to see him totally boppin and groovin with this hot latino band! Jerry's latino roots are surely shining through in this clip! Jerry Garcia and Ruben Blades Latino Session http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWfYew3s_Nw Enjoy! Brother A

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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.
