2015 : Pure Interview. This is simply parts 1 & 4 put together (I had already uploaded them yet separately). Parts 2, 3 & 5 are acoustic songs which you can also find separately.
A (mostly audio) UPGRADE from what I had previously posted.
1981 May 7th : NBC Studios, Tom Snyder's TV "The Tomorrow Show" (I edited this to take out the blond girl who is a waste of time and make some visual contrast and notable audio changes).
Tom Snyder was host of "The Tomorrow Show" (aired late nights from 1973 to 1982). It was a talk show unlike the usual late-night fare, with Snyder, cigarette in hand, alternating between asking hard-hitting questions and offering personal observations that made the interview closer to a conversation. Very cool at the time !
Now, regarding this evening's presence with members of The Grateful Dead, this was during a GD Tour break, between two Nassau Coliseum (Long Island) concerts and notably after the 5-6-1981 show, which was exceptional, and later became a "Dick's Picks" release.
Part 1 : Interview, conversations with Ken Kesey & Jerry Garcia
0:04 Snyder's intro
0:56 One Flew Over a Coo-coo's Nest (Ken Kesey)
1:25 presenting Ken Kesey
1:47 Ken Kesey & Jerry Garcia
2:16 the 1st test conducted with LSD (1950's ...)
4:12 connection between the community (Merry Pranksters) & music (The Grateful Dead)
4:50 classic Garcia fumbling ... and picks it back up with excellent articulation !
5:35 classic Ken Kesey ...
6:18 Garcia explains "playing" during the initial Tests ...
Part 4 : Interviews, conversations, with Garcia & Weir accompanied later by M. Hart & B. Kreutzmann (drummers)
9:40 Weir's great responses ! ... then Egypt, 1960's ...
10:50 "finish school Bobby"
11:55 another of Weir's poignant responses on being "current"
13:34 joined by the drummers Hart & Kreutzmann
14:23 "line up to get their dose of crazy" (Weir again)
15:35 Woodstock !? (laughs)
16:58 two concerts with The Who (SF & Essen Germany)
PS : "Parts 2, 3 & 5" are acoustic renditions played that night :
On The Road Again
Dire Wolf
Deep Elem Blues
Cassidy

"i put more time in the years" Jerry said about appearing older. What an amazing and quick mind to say something like that.

@rsohlich1 4 года назад

Jerry had such a kind energy about him. Beautiful person. My history as a fan is probably like many others. I grew up in the 90s and always thought they were just burnt out hippies who played dull, boring and predictable music. I did enjoy Trucking and a few others but never gave them a fair shake. About 10 years ago I truly listened without judgement and delved deeply into the catalog. Boy was I surprised. I finally started to "understand" The Dead. Glad I got it while I'm still breathing! RIP Jerry and Ken

@eqx7168 4 года назад

Thats a common experience my friend. Strangely, mine was sort of the opposite where I could never get into the Dead, but I got why people "get" the Dead. In the last year or two, I finally fully "get" the Dead. Going to many concerts and festivals over the years starting in 2010 it always was interesting to hear the sense of legacy in Deadheads of all ages which continues to now and hopefully onward. You'd always hear the hundreds of stories from mythical gigs of decades previous. I heard a story from the 90s shortly after Jerry died where a Deadhead was tripping on something fun and emerged from a tent as distant grooves emanated from the stage. The grooves reverberate off the clouds which form a lotus flower in the sky which pointed him toward the stage where the band was playing Dark Star or something. Apparently they brought or projected a picture of Jerry onto the stage as a tribute. Within the fractals of the guys trip he saw some sort of energetic apparition of Jerry form out of the center of the lotus flower and then had this massive surge of memories of seeing the dead all the way back to the late 60s. This benevolent guitar playing Santa Claus of a man was a god amongst a lot of people who have and had a difficult relationship with religion before finding the Dead.

@zampieritto 3 года назад

I don't like Dead. But Jerry Garcia was a intelligent smart man

@topshelf2855 3 года назад

Just check out the full catalogue, there is so much spirit involved and there references of so many other great muscians that influenced them AND played with them. I think they always liked being the outcast. It suits them fine and as a deadhead with 220 shows under my belt and many more that I was turned onto because of the heritage of their music. Unbelievable really.

@Zoso981 2 года назад

I never got the Dead either, then I tagged along with a girlfriend to see them play a show in Cleveland. It really opened my eyes. I'd never been to a show where the band had such a strong connection to the crowd. The energy was amazing, and if I close my eyes and try really hard, I can still feel it.

@hopedanica4377 Год назад

That is the thing. And why Dead & co. or any post Garcia incarnation will never replace- which is fine and I am cool with what they do. But you nailed it in an etheral since. But Garcia was also a bad ass and a hard ass too, make no mistake about it. He had an edgey side too.

The Who/Dead Rock Palace Germany concert was....what a night. The BBC (I live in the UK) broadcasted the show on the TV also on BBC Radio in stereo. I had a couple o' blotters. When I came home earlier my old Man said he'd bought a radio cassette recorder and that there was something I might want to tape tonight. When I looked at the paper and saw who he meant, it was like all my birthdays came at once. I didn't even know he knew one band I liked, never mind buy a radio/recorder for the occasion. I played the whole concert all over again right after it ended. I've still got the tapes.

In the 80s here in Germany AFN broadcast a live Grateful Dead concert. We built a stereo Amp for the TV output had huge speakers and the night the concert was broadcast most of us were passed out...some wandering around outside tripping on acid or to stoned...nobody remembered the concert and our recording equipments lost the video, the audio sounded terrible....but we had fun

Would have loved to met Ken but I wasn't worth in those days. Had much more to learn. And then years later was living in SF and went to visit my cousin that was doing research on grasses on a farm. Turns out that it was the same farm they used in the Acid tests...

It's so interesting the way they are talking about the 60s here. It seems like even in 1981, which was just over 10 years later, it seemed like they were referring to it as such a far-off historical time. Where now we don't really talk about events around 2010 to 15 the same way. It's almost like time has sped up culturally
