Like a Road : Garcia on Stage 3

permalinkage
Jerry Garcia was born on August 1 and passed away 53 years later on August 9. The Podcast Cafe has been celebrating his vast musical legacy these past few weeks with the release of several Jerry-lovin' podcasts: High Time: Garcia on Stage 1, Lazy River Road: Garcia in the Studio, Dark Star : Garcia on Stage 2 and now this, the third mix of our very favorite live Jerry jams. Such sweet kindness!
We'd also like to remind our listeners that we've posted other Jerry-related offerings in years past that you can still access, including some archival recordings of a call-in radio show on KLCC:
I was living in Bend, Oregon at the time, and was awoken out of bed with the bad news. After contacting beloved friends with whom I had shared many a Dead show, I tuned the stereo to KLCC 89.7 FM, the Dead-friendly college radio station broadcasting from Eugene. They were playing nothing but Jerry's music, and we listened through the day. For some reason, I dropped a cassette tape in and hit record. This podcast is drawn from that dusty old tape, recently found in the archives deep in the garage and brought in to the 21st century by way of modern technology.

Happy 4/20 to all the friends of the Podcast Cafe! Here's a special treat for you on this special day: an hour-and-a-half of live performances from Jerry Garcia, drawn from Grateful Dead and JGB shows from across the decades, mixed up and served just right by DJ Fundi.
This is the first in a multi-part series of Garcia mixes -- we have several hours of our very favorite Jerry jams to share with you over the spring and summer as we draw near to the anniversaries of Jerry's birthday and death date. As you'd expect, DJ Fundi has conducted deep research in to creating these grateful journeys -- finding out what is considered the kindest version of "Scarlet Begonias" into "Fire on the Mountain", for example, and then hunting down that performace to share with you. With a deep love for the man, and a profound respect for the gift of these live performances, Fundi has curated something special here, and we hope you dig it as much as we do.

I was living
in Bend, Oregon at the time, and was awoken out of
bed with the bad news. After contacting beloved
friends with whom I had shared many a Dead show, I
tuned the stereo to KLCC 89.7 FM, the Dead-friendly
college radio station broadcasting from Eugene. They
were playing nothing but Jerry's music, and we
listened through the day. For some reason, I dropped
a cassette tape in and hit record. This podcast is
drawn from that dusty old tape, recently found in the
archives deep in the garage and brought in to the
21st century by way of modern technology.
Eugene was intimately intertwined to Jerry and the Grateful Dead for me: I saw my first shows at Autzen Stadium with Waterdog in 1990, a month out of high school, and returned for several more glorious Autzen runs over the years -- every single show I saw there was stellar and my memories are vibrant with sunburnt faces on smiling friends, the lazy Willametter River, the distant green hills (Kesey Country to the south), road trips, hot veggie burritos & ice cold beer, camping in the tall grass and the best summer music I ever done heard.
The sound quality of this podcast ain't nothing to brag about, and many crucial Jerry tracks are not represented here -- Dark Star, Terrapin Station, Stella Blue, Scarlet to Fire, Standing on the Moon, Eyes of the World. What this recording does offer up is a historical document of minor note, a time capsule holding some of the wistful grief that overtook tens, maybe hundreds, of thousands of people around the planet on that day in early August way back in 1995.
You are missed, Jerry. Thanks for all the glorious music...
(At the last minute, I decided I had to throw in my own personal closing track -- couldn't leave the sad voices of listeners calling in to KLCC be the last note! “Fare thee well, fare thee well, I love you more than words can tell. Gonna listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul...”)
