Thank you for this. I love hearing his voice and seeing his wide smile. Also the finger to push up his glasses over and over. I could listen to this for hours.

it's 1986 and the guy is asking about audience bootleg tapes ?? that's been going on since at least 1970 when i got my first one ....

5 months out of a coma and he was chain smoking. He lived life the way he pleased....that was Jerry, take him or leave him.

I love how he asked specially about cream puff war!! I always wished they broke out during some show with it. It was like the dead’s punk song. I think hearing it like in spring 90 would’ve been fantastic. Or early 80’s. I mean Jerry is embarrassed by cream puff war? Yes it’s a very simple song but he would play some rocking 60’s guitar during it. Fast solos. I mean Viola Lee blues. Masons children. The interviewer had great points

He sounds still a little frail but very sober. I just wish the doctors scared him out of starting to smoke cigarettes since he hadn’t for a number of days while in the coma and hospital. But probably nothing they could say wouldve stopped that especially while he was stopping two other massive habits. He was so great for the most part from 87-90. Had a lot of great sober times in there. Clear headed he was incredible. Especially his voice. His guitar always sounded good until 91-95 when he started to lose feelings in his hands. By the end losing almost total feeling in one hand. He was playing blind basically. And video reflects that in final months. He couldn’t feel the strings. It was just muscle memory of putting his fingers where they had gone possible a million times before. Jerry gave us such great music from 65-95. But can’t help but wonder what could’ve been if he stayed healthy. Especially since I just missed out. I was 14 when Jerry passed. So really I missed out on the great shows by a number of years. I saw Furthur in 96. First year I was allowed to leave town to see a show. Hard drugs suck.

Wonder if Jerry is like, this cat looks like me 30 years ago

After Coma, Jerry Doing Very, Very Great , Super Well !!!! R.I.P. To The Big Man !!!!

🌹🌹🌹🌹 amazing

I always be grateful that i got the chance to see the dead play live in concert numerous times. RIP JG

Every time I listen to an interview with Jerry starting way back from the early days up until this one he always is the same in that he never ceases to astound me with his wonderful way of thinking. He always teaches me something without ever meaning to. Just a beautiful person...so enlightening and helpful and unimposing. I like what David Crosby said: If there could be one person who could speak for all musicians, it's Jerry

32:18

Can anybody tell what album he was talking about at the very end?....

Super wisdome. Jeryy was the real deal! Not CIA. No way, highly unlikely.

"Dissolve into hanging out"...hahah imagine that

Could listen to him talk all day.

He was certainly a charismatic fellow. The worship some fans heaped on him must have been a strange feeling (not many rabid fans of Canadian tradesmen). Once again, this is a really great interview.

19:11 haha, he said "doo-doo".Great interview cheers

He did about 1 interview every 2 years................

Which record was he referring to at the end?❤

UFOs and aliens are "some kind of a carrot on the stick in front of the mule of consciousness." Classic Jerry.

Kind of curious how he uses the term “getting off” to describe the band’s performance. Does he mean to imply sexual overtones?

I love you so much, Jerry. 💓💓💓

In the last 10 seconds of the video, does anyone know what record he is referring to?

What did he say was his favorite record of all the records at the very end

I was lucky enough to hang with him in the 80 s plus the other ones in the band !

I see this & it seems like he’s still alive , I love this !

The most interesting rock musician in interviews ever. He talks about music and the music experience not fame drugs or personal minuiae

Looking for any of my youthfully decorated mail order envelopes on that wall !! 💃✌️

I love Jerry’s laugh

Hey Steven you should see if Chris Hazard can remaster this!

Jerry had such a lightness and joy about him. His sense of humor was infectious. He seemed fun to hang out with. Best soul ever.

“The thing to do is slug it out”. Jerry was One of a kind.

So sad. So senseless. 💔

Honestly, this was an epic interview!!! One of the best I've seen/heard.

Hey Steven Marcus, at the end of this interview what record did he was was the record of all records?

… I recall getting in a limo and lunching with a group of Ladies on this day … it’s nice to re-visit it. Hope you’re doing well Steve … Stacye formerly known as Olive

Amazing to hear the boss say that if a band has a big enough space like an empty theater or arenas that a band can have better results if able to work on their craft in a live setting minus the fans would allow for a better working environment to create records

Hey Steve nice to meet your aquaintence here. I had fortunately had seen the the vhs copy that was posted here a few years back...

Jerry Garcia was the living Buddha.

We miss you Jerry. Thank you for all you gave.

Those lying sons of bitches

Jerry is such a wonderful story teller and my biggest influence not only in music but everyday life.. Miss you Jer Bear..

Thank you so much for sharing this. I miss Papa Jerry.

Here Comes Sunshine 🌞

What record is Jerry talking about in the end?

"So what have you been doing, since you got out of the hospital, to kill yourself?" What an opening question

Great interview ! I really enjoyed it ! Seems like Jerry enjoyed it as well.

Well I was dying.
