Legend don't even start to describe this dude.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

The best thing about Jerry was he was omniscient yet incredibly humble. He also was cool for what he didn’t do. He didn’t play dress up, he wasn’t authoritarian, he never got into a “bag”, he just wanted to excel as a musician, and that he did do.

[@SuperStrik9]

Posting any interview footage from the Grateful Dead (especially Jerry) during the 70s is GREATLY appreciated!

[@EmeraldWoodArchives]

Love this man so much.

[@Rescoase]

Love listening to Jerry. Always good.

[@imaseeker100]

what a spirit this man had. still saw himself as a student of the guitar. yet a genius of a songwriter. I would put Garcia/hunter in the pantheon of songwriting duos.

[@hazegreen1896]

yea I like how 1974 Jerry thinks hes not fluid. lol that is a great attitude and i get it but man he was pretty smooth by 74.

[@stefanijoanneangelinagerma3862]

Just a nice, down to Earth man. Genuine. 💖 see you on the other side.

[@SuperStrik9]

Jerry's the best! Could listen to him talk all day long. Bill Graham was not only a great promoter but he would do cool extra things for the fans like serve breakfast for everyone after all night shows.

[@MrStuVW]

Amen, amen, amen, and Amen!

Cool how he wrapped up the metaphor of alchemy not many people mention that

[@xrayeheadx]

Jerry saying that he "hustled" to make money, could be the greatest thing ive ever heard.

[@brianrodman1033]

xrayeheadx when the band lived with Bear down in LA for a time during the early years everyone in the band had to go out and hustle Bear’s latest batch. He (Bear) bankrolled the entire band at the time and the money came from his chemistry endeavors. There are some funny stories from that short period when they lived down south, definitely worth reading about in the book Living With the Dead.

The master at micro-phoning the shit out of the joint

[@craigslistdave2086]

Connor Shannon never heard this term. You mean hanging on it for long, or allowing it burn unevenly, which I call canoeing

[@TheMasterTelevision]

@@craigslistdave2086 Micro-phoning means holding onto a joint or whatever you're smoking and talking instead of hitting it, I.e You're talking into it like it's a microphone instead of passing it to the dude on your right. Lol it's Jerry's weed let him smoke his own pot in peace, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you pulled out a j of your own.

[@bumblebootwiddletoes5185]

@@craigslistdave2086 hanging onto it... Pass that joint; it's not a microphone!

[@zendixie]

was some of that in the original version of the movie? i saw the dead movie when it was first released and some of that seems very familiar. maybe an edited version of the whole interview. anyway, thanks for putting it up.

[@itsstillfriday]

Thanks for posting this... first I'd ever seen it in full.. Hey...Who is the photographer person sitting next to Garcia on the couch..?? As that face was always blocked out in the movie releases...I always assumed it was Mountain Girl.. but now seeing this.. I have no clue who that is??!! :)

[@2112CO]

Not quite they played 4 shows in 1975. Thankful they came back in 76!

[@mobiditch6848]

That’s right. ‘75 Kezar Stadium SF. Was there!

[@2112CO]

@@mobiditch6848 Rolling Stone had an article about Grateful Dead and it was totally off in the history of the Grateful Dead. The question was what year the band didn't play from 65 to 95 they said 75 wrong answers. The real answer is none. 3 full shows and 1 benefit show. Every one they just ripped. 1 from the vault 8/13 /1975 first MNS, Crazy Finger's

[@mobiditch6848]

@@2112CO the kezar show was the benefit. It was called the SNACK concert with, Dylan Neil young, santana, etc., if I remember they did a help on the way franklins tower crazy fingers medley...blues for allah set.

Like to hear it w/o the music in the background

@theelevan1 Don't you mean second most incredible and uncompromising rock and roll band of all time? The boys would like to have a word with you at the White Castle in Brooklyn.

I'll trade one direction and Justin bieber for John Lennon, George Harrison and Jerry Garcia

What’s the song in the background

US Blues

US Blues and Going Down the Road Feeling Bad

[@bradstewart2412]

U.S. Blues, then Going Down The Road Feeling Bad, and the first few notes of Sugar Magnolia at the very end of the video.

Jerry didn’t like that nickname much.

Bless u Jerry break away from the rat race

[@bobdilly1630]

Wow this Jerry Garcia is what I would of imagined him to be not sure I like his politically correct interviews in the 80s he's a complete rebel hippie in this interview in the 70s.

[@jktunney]

+Bob Dilly that's a load of crap, he always was himself.

[@bobdilly1630]

Jake Tunney I agree dont get me wrong i just saw this interview though in the 80s and it was showing there fans getting arrestedfor nothing and all he could say was we could suggest for them not to camp and not to do this and this im like thats weird he seemed different then he did in this video when he was a complete rebel.

[@jktunney]

Bob Dilly you may have a point, but i think you should think about it in the context of the times. when the dead had gotten so big in the '80s i think jerry felt like he had to try to protect his fans. jerry was a smart guy and not one to advocate fighting a losing battle. and you're right about the rebel hippie rhetoric. early on that was more pervasive in his interviews. i think as he matured he saw the societal issues we face as more complex than the original hippie "drop out" solution could solve

[@bobdilly1630]

Jake Tunney Regardless I Have Fallen In Love With The Grateful Dead! And I Never Thought of it that way. Only thing i disagree with is your hippie outlook i beleive with all my soul that that movement could of changed the world if people didnt sell out it was real and I live it today.

[@bobdilly1630]

Jake Tunney People need to do what was going on make a new world and get away from this coruppt one it all makes sense whe nyou really sit and think about whats really important and who we are here for at the end of the day Terrapin Heaven is the Goal God... Not A New car or a job to suck the life out of you but to become the best you can be as a person spiritually.

right before he started smoking herion. he was great though.

[@garrettwelch9489]

@@bob733333 You can hear heroin in the 1976 recordings. He was definitely using before 1977. Most sources estimate late 74-early 75.
