  • Garcia’s Creative Accounting, late March 1975

    In late March 1975, Peter Simon interviewed Garcia at the “film house”  (230 Eldridge Avenue, Mill Valley, CA, 94941), for publication in New Age Journal (Simon 1975). NAJ: You’re also doing a solo album and touring with Merl Saunders. In that you have so many projects at once, how do you channel your energy so…

  • Bill Cooper Interviews Jerry Garcia, May 1982

    Here’s a nice companion piece that really resonates with “Bob Coburn Interviews Jerry Garcia, November 8, 1982″. My notes/transcriptions are little sketchy, but here’s what jumps out to me. On Run for the Roses, with some anti-marketing: I’ve been working on it for quite a long time. I’ve had to squeeze it in amongst and…

  • Signpost to a New Space and Stoned Sunday Rap – Dates

    I have just finished transcribing the parts of particular interest to me from Signpost to a New Space and the Stoned Sunday Rap (Garcia, Reich and Wenner 2003 [1972]), and I have now posted reading notes. Me being me, I have always wondered about the dates of these sessions. Here is the timeline for what…

  • Reading Notes: Henke 1991

    LIA posted a quote from this, I stumbled across it amidst my materials, and I decided now was as good a time as any to annotate it. Henke, James. 1991. The Rolling Stone Interview: Jerry Garcia. Rolling Stone, October 31, 34-40, 103, 106, 108. Two September 1991 afternoons, hotel room overlooking Central Park. July 1991…

  • Garcia, Cutler, Hunter, unidentified woman chatting, ca. 1970

     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_g2GWeAgYQ Not much very revelatory, but nice to hear Hunter rapping, and they talk together about Altamont. Around 20, we get some Hells Angels talk. Garcia: “It’s almost like having tigers on the streets.” Hunter, in a classic case of how these guys romanticized the Angels and other outlaws: “Hells Angels are Robin Hood. Cutler…

  • A Conversation With Jerry

    https://youtu.be/2tamQ9Uj1Hk So many data, so little time. One item on my lengthy “to-do” list is to try to process every Garcia interview. It’s finite, naturally enough, and thus in principle do-able. In practice, well, only so many hours. Anyway, this one is a bunch of raw tape for Rolling Stone 20th, 1987 sometime. Some really…
