  • Reading Notes: Jon Sievert’s 1978 Guitar Player interview with Jerry Garcia

    Man, this is such a great interview. Sievert always connected well with Jerry. These are my “reading notes”, which just means that I am drawing quotes and dropping them back into context.

    update 20170710: Here the show doesn’t light me up, yet my CC aud listening notes from a month before this post include this: The show is quite hot, IMO. MITR ends in a manic flurry. Tore Up, my notes tell me, is “ridiculous”. Jerry is *really* into this Dixie Down. RIR is absolutely fantastic, with…
