Jerry Garcia & Bob Weir - Interview Recorded Live: 10/29/1980 - Good Morning America - New York, NY More Jerry Garcia & Bob Weir at Music Vault: www.musicvault.com Subscribe to Music Vault on RU-vid: goo.gl/DUzpUF
2:34 Jerry whispers "chicken" underneath his breath when the reporter said that she reported outside the venue instead of the inside. Hahah. I love it.
I find it so fascinating when jerry was talking about looking back and listening to older music like the 20s and now we are here in 2015 looking back to the 70s.
Haha, Bob's reaction at the beginning when they introduce Jerry as the lead guitarist and just say "and Bob Weir" and then at the end his reaction when she cuts him off. Classic stuff, love ya Bobby.
It always makes me feel such a sense of wonder to hear these old interviews with Jerry and Bobby. You can feel their friendship come through and it just makes one smile and know that there are some truly special things that the world has to offer.
Dude imagine these 2 on something like Joe Rogan where they could really talk. Edit: for the people who keep commenting they are really talking, what i mean is having 2 hrs to talk.
Bob Weir is a super nice man. I was so happy to have met him years ago with the Black Crowes. I would have loved to have met Jerry Garcia, seemed like a great guy.
Oh he is a great guy, Thank you so much for being a true fan of my music ... Those lovely comments of yours really went straight to my heart .. well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music.. have you been to my concert before ??

Back in the old days there was kinda of an unspoken rule that grown adults were expected to be genuine and have some degree of integrity. That's coming from someone who was a young teen at this time so that was my perspective at that time. It makes me sick when a younger adult acts like a complete ass and finishes their bullshit with "I'm oldschool" lol. Because adults from the past only acted like adults do now when they were drunk.
That was sweet......Joan London is so naive and beautiful.....she tried to make them fit into her neat box but her world and their world......heaven's be......like a flower in a pot of gold with these two.....
we're all human. to think that joan london somehow bypasses what it is to be human is fallacy. Imagine going through life without any drug use. Having to face problems head on. That's what it is to be human. A constant party with drugs and booze is NOT reality. Not even close.
Greg Lanciotti Ha! Dude yer lost! E V E R Y O N E does something to cope with "reality" be it take NyQuil for a cold, or molest little boys like Catholic priest's, or snort cocaine like workaholics, or eat and eat and eat like the morbidly obese, or play music like a musician, or draw pictures like an artist, do math like an engineer or physicist, "reality" in it's most basic form is at the least incomprehensible to everyone so we do things that make it make sense so our brains don't short out and explode. For some people reality is terrifying so they force everything into a tiny box thinking they have a grasp of it, but in "reality" they don't, no one does. So save yer biased derogatory nonsense. Some people accept that they can't put reality into a little box and crave something more for their experience so they take their consciousness on an adventure through the use of perception altering substances. You should try it sometime it might help you calm the fuck down.....jus sayin.
Joan Lunden is a sweetheart. She's doing her job but she's not a phony. And she's not stuck up. She manages to connect with these guys who are ostensibly so different from her; and they, to their credit, were cool with her ... not arrogant or insular.
Saw them about a month before this. Lewiston Maine, they must of been rehearsing for their NY run , they played EVERYTHING , … four and a half hours!!! A mind blowing day ;)
I went to 30+, I knew a couple who went to over 120. The point is that the Dead played a ton of shows! When they came to town, they would play 3 nights in stead of one..
The more I see Bob on these interviews the more weird and creepy his seems. Jerry is nice but Bob would be hard to carry a conversation with especially if I was stoned.
I remember Bobby’s intro to the short lived “Weir Here” stories. “I figure I’ve seen some things that no one else has seen and maybe I can share some of my knowledge”. Perfect.
Too bad John Lennon didn't make guest appearances with them when the Dead did their shows at the Radio City Music Hall in the fall that year since he only lived about 10 minutes away from there... 😔
Cool video! I went to the 10/23 show at RCity. Last minute decision as a ticket was offered to me at about 4:00 that afternoon in Hamden,CT. So glad I did it. Never pass up an opportunity, you may see something you'll remember 4ever!
Biggest take away. The deadhead interviews. These people are just simply different. Look at their eyes & their smiles. I aspire to be more like that. & please spare me the ‘that’s cuz they’re all high...’ That may be part of it but these are largely enlightened souls.
Everyone's commenting on the interview...as someone from during these years, I can't believe it actually happened...the Joan Lunden set were the pre-oprahs. Amazing they got the time they were given in my humble opinion...
Thank you so much for being a true fan of my music ... Those lovely comments of yours really went straight to my heart .. well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music.. have you been to my concert before ??
There’s still time. It’s been classically stated that you don’t just get into the Dead, you GROW into the Dead. Just start with some of their live stuff and eventually they’ll grow on you and then you’ll realize they’re one of your all time favorite bands. I’m telling you!
@@thatssoironic Since high school I listened to the Dead from friends and acquaintances. Same in college. I liked some songs but didn’t get the hype and couldn’t get past certain things. Mind you, I was doing mind altering concoctions since I was 15. It was not until I was around 27 or 28 that I truly heard them. I needed to just get into other genres first to acclimate my palate. One day I just locked in to a live CD of the Dead my friend was playing in his car. I broke through. Started absorbing as much as I could from then on and really getting sucked down the rabbit hole. A bit over a year later I met this girl. Her favorite band, Grateful Dead. 15 years later we have a daughter who went to school picture day just last week wearing a dancing bears Dead tye dye t shirt.
@@thatssoironic I was so late to the bus it's ridiculous (2001) , but I fell on hard, that's for sure. Sorry I missed what I missed, but I had a real good time anyway.
2:17 Stay together another 15 years and then straight to the Great Beyond. Of all dimwitted morning show hosts, this one turned out to be the most prescient.
Garcia and Weir maintain their workmanlike perspective despite the effective opposition with so many traps that i really liked the line where jerry said, "yeah, we like the understanding with our fans that we're there for the music, and there will be 'good' and 'bad' nights...but we do our best, Bob Weir said. Thanks, my brother William was a Grateful Dead Fan, and great singer songwriter scholar.
That was a hoot, seeing a young Joan Lunden who was sweet but clueless, and of course they were being nice, but probably thinking help! I hope she finally went to a concert....I wonder if she ever actually listened to an album?

It's eerie that she asks " Do you look forward to the great beyond? Or do you want to stay together for another 15 years?" Almost exactly 15 years later Jerry passed away.
Sultan Mulberry went to a dead & co. Concert this summer. It’s like a time portal back to the sixties or seventies, it’s beautiful. Amazing environment everyone is so friendly. Not to mention, Bobby has still got it! And John Mayer is a great addition

2:18 “Do you look forward to going to the great beyond or do you plan on staying together another 15 years.” 15 years later was 1995, the year we lost Jerry and the Grateful Dead to the great beyond❤️
Listen to that voice, his grin , head his handling of his personality- animal sounds - everything - i have an alien hairy boy named Max, he loves gospel & Jerry Garcia's songs. I brush his teeth & the vets says they know how old he is but they could not go by his teeth - says "what do u do to him?" I say i brush his teeth & keep him clean, he loves being clean & also wears clothes. He has socks that look like tennis shoes - now only in the house for me & hides in the floor board of the vehicle so nobody will steal him. HE knows about GOD & knows papaw is in heaven- heaven is up in the sky looks like the moon (a big ball in the sky) - training & talking to a hairy boy, u gotta do it in a way they understand. Showed him a snowball, got snow off the 4 runner & made a snowball & hit him, he talked, wanted another snowball. Potted trained him in a day, lost him when I was laying down, found him sitting in the front door to go outside where I had told him to go. Isn't that sweet? Talk to your animals, do not buy or even get pound ones & fence them in & just water & feed them. Listen to Jerry he loved animals. Do what is right.

Haha wow. Jerry references Pig Pen dying by saying “going to the great beyond” and the interviewer didn’t know what that meant and asked if jerry looks forward to going to the great beyond.
I'm looking forward to going. It's vastly superior in the great beyond. People who have had NDE's know. Heaven is a reality. We're eternal. Just don't take the jab!!!!
ForgottenSpace they’re probably on nothing. Traveling from city to city, doing shows, getting back to hotels late, doin promos....etc. they look a little tired or hopped up on caffeine and So to you they must be whacked out drugs, bs. They were dong coke in those days but I doubt they are coked up or stoned at 7:00 am in 1980. That shit gets so blown out of proportion .
@@mackdeen7021 Your comment is one of the most logical I've seen on a Dead video. So, thank you. Also, don't forget that Jerry was a heroin addict at this time, too.
@@mackdeen7021 no man, I'm telling you man they were both on 12 hits of acid each man,tripping balls man and then Mount St. Helens rained down ash on the television audience because Jerry,Bob,and Joan London (who they dosed backstage) played a smoking Fire on the Mountain to end the interview.
