Jerry Garcia Interview 1990

[@johnf120]

The thing about Jerry was not only that he was a creative genius and a brilliant guitar player. It’s also that his playing, whether simple or complex, was always immediately recognizable. He could play one note and you would know it’s Jerry Garcia. His style, while an obvious inspiration to many, is totally unique and irreplicable. In my opinion, this is what puts him among the finest guitarists of all time. I come back to his music over and over again.

[@JayaRose]

SO TRUE!!! Well said

[@mattdavis911]

Besides playing, Jerry is a highly underrated singer, in fact hes one of the most phenomenal American singers of all time.

[@tonebenderx]

I wish this interview was a lot longer. I could listent ot Jerry talk all day long.

[@sandiaYpescado]

The glimpse of seeing Jerry cleaned up and happy is so heartwarming and heartbreaking.

[@cromandum217]

one of the few times in his life were he was actually 100% sober

[@mattdavis911]

Meh, Jerry did drugs, big deal.

[@ClueSign]

@@mattdavis911 Are you 12 years old? They hastened his death by decades. He should still be here, and could have given us all 30 more years of music by now.

Short interview but some good nuggets of Jer in there. Love when he explains what his musical M.O. is and why it works.

[@karlhungus1569]

He was a genius

[@danieljones3782]

Jerry seems so peaceful and happy here…

[@jambandnews]

Oh this is amazing. Thank you!

[@markkindermannart4028]

Theres a cat in my band who often asks me, "What should we play for them?" meaning the audience. I always answer, "Nothing, I'm not an entertainer, I play for us not the audience". Thank you Jerr

[@brandonvalentine2555]

Such an insightful dude

[@Luke43168]

excellent thanks

[@elizabethb4634]

Extremely lucid, elegant and eloquent.

[@sandiaYpescado]

That version of the band was really good. Cleanish Jerry and Brent was such a good combo.

[@Bobby007D]

Gonna be many moons before there is another J.G. Where was that version of "Deal " from? Anyone ?

[@wstrick548]

What TV show is this from? It's British, but can't place it. "South Bank Show"?

[@anderssondyke9919]

What’s the song the Dead was playing when🎉 Jerry started talking over the lyrics? I couldn’t make them out - rookie Deadhead here

[@superpig4589]

Are you talking about near the 3:50 mark? That’s scarlet begonias

[@CairnTerrier69]

“Scarlet Begonias” was the first song…second song starting at 5:15 is the solo of “Deal”.

[@daveavakian9462]

Does anyone know which tune Jerry is playing acoustically in the beginning?

[@Steve-Sanoski]

Two Soldiers

[@Fzappa20Fan]

❤

[@Kirreu]

Anyone know the show that the clips are from?

[@TheDegarmo5]

You mean “program”?😅

[@Kirreu]

@@TheDegarmo5 Uh no I don't but I should have been clearer. Which Grateful Dead show the song clips are taken from.

[@TheDegarmo5]

@@Kirreu I don’t know which show but I was referencing when at 3:06 the dude refers to shows as programs

[@Kirreu]

@@TheDegarmo5 Ohhhh lol

[@Aaron_Gentry]

Not sure the exact concert(s) but it looks to me like they're from the late 80s some time

[@L_Valentino]

My G is coked outta his brainnn today 🙏

[@JayGradyAustin]

He was actually clean during this period. It's why he looks so healthy. Before Brent passed. His last burst of creativity. Dead spring 1990 were on fire, Grisman acoustic recordings, JGB killing it. What you're seeing is Jerry Garcia truly happy and energized.

[@itsgonnbeok7249]

@@JayGradyAustinI believe he relapsed sometime around summer 1990. Not like it matters. It’s always Jerry. Love

[@mirmel73]

Jerry Garcia - the fattest trip of them all!
