| J-Card Comment | Jerry Garcia interview with a former banjo student and someone else (an artist named "Kramer"). early March?, 1967 Grateful Dead House 710 Ashbury Street, San Francisco, California, USA 83 minutes Lots of interesting early 1967 Jerry talk from a low gen. cassette - exact lineage unknown but 2nd or 3rd generation at the most. Very good to excellent sound quality - check the sample to decide for yourself. I looked on the web for information about this interview but could not find any details. The probable date is because their first album was about to be released, but hadn't been yet. (The release date for the first album was March 17, 1967.) Besides Jerry and the interviewers, there are bits of Mountain Girl, Bob Weir, Pigpen and others in the background. disc 1 - 42:02 01 [4:05] electric banjo, pedal steel guitar, music equipment talk, etc. 02 [1:44] Jefferson Airplane, Jerry assisting on Surrealistic Pillow LP 03 [2:51] The San Francisco Sound 04 [4:22] hippies, Grateful Dead view of music, etc. 05 [5:06] The Fillmore audience 06 [3:02] talk about Newsweek article, "Dropouts With A Mission" and Jerry seeing himself as a dropout 07 [1:49] Jerry discusses precursors to the S.F. scene and switching from banjo back to guitar 08 [3:47] rock and roll influences (Chuck Berry, The Beatles, etc.), becoming successful while sharing with their friends, etc. 09 [4:55] the Vietnam War 10 [1:21] "the world needs to take care of itself" 11 [1:26] Grateful Dead music not advocating any political message 12 [0:52] looking forward to first trip to New York 13 [1:34] Buffalo Springfield, Moby Grape, Skip Spence, Jorma Kaukonen 14 [0:54] Mathew Katz and other old style band managers 15 [3:16] S.F. radio and the radio business 16 [0:58] Jerry's short review and hopes for the success of their not yet released first album disc 2 - 41:08 01 [1:02] what might happen to the S.F. scene, etc. 02 [0:55] talk about some band equipment which had just been stolen from their warehouse 03 [4:16] the Haight Ashbury scene 04 [4:34] The Hell's Angels 05 [0:59] the stolen band equipment has been found! 06 [3:51] more Hell's Angels talk 07 [3:30] Jerry's beliefs 08 [1:00] The police 09 [4:53] drugs 10 [3:38] Jerry's tapes - "go get them from Sara" 11 [3:34] possibility of playing banjo with The Grateful Dead > kids talking much louder than Jerry [luckily there's not too much of that] 12 [1:07] existentialism 13 [1:23] "Blow Up" film and Grateful Dead plans to be in a movie 14 [1:52] Look magazine article on Jefferson Airplane with Jim Marshall photos of the S.F. bands 15 [1:12] jazz and other styles mixing with Rock and Roll 16 [1:04] talk about getting the stolen band equipment back 17 [1:27] talk about the old gun that Jerry is playing around with during the interview 18 [0:51] interview conclusion lineage: master reel @ 3.75 ips speed > (?) > cassette > my TDK MA90 cassette > Nakamichi Dragon > Macintosh with Digidesign AudioMedia III sound card > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits, normalization and many clicks and pops manually removed - no noise reduction or equalization) > AIFF > xACT (Flac level 8 files with sector boundaries verified). md5 file created with checkSUM+. |
