RATDOG SPRING
2001 TOUR
eight.two
OK, now it’s REALLY the new millennium! So, now what?
Since we last gathered in this space,
we observed the end of the year 2000 and
the dawning of 2001 (and no, we can’t look
at that number without hearing that damn
music, for which we have the late Stanley
Kubrick to thank). The final months of the
old year will long be remembered for the
electoral theater of the absurd in Florida,
which threw the nation into a prolonged,
possibly permanent, state of confusion.
Here in DeadWorld, we haven’t been
immune to confusion ourselves. The past
year has been rife with gossip and fearful
projection about what may or may not be
going on in these parts. We will try to
address some of that a bit later. Usually,
of course, we all know what to do when
somewhat befuddled, thanks to some sage
advice: “If you get confused, listen to the
music play.”
On one recent occasion, though, the
confusing issue was: which music? We refer
to the dilemma faced by many of you last
December 31st: two shows, headlined by
former members of the Grateful Dead, in
the same town, on the same night. And not
just any night, but a huge one on every
Deadhead’s calendar, New Year’s Eve. We
know that the situation left many with difficult, uncomfortable choices to make, and
we greatly regret that. For our part, we can
only say that wherever you were, we hope
you saw in the New Year safely and joyously.
(We’re trying to keep the Dead Heads list as current as
possible. If you’ve been on our list since way back when,
please let us know if your mailing address has changed,
and if you wish to continue receiving stuff from us. Please

FACT: Ain’t no party like a P-Funk party. QUESTION: Why?
ANSWER: ’cause a P-Funk party don’t stop! (Photo: Susana Millman)
For what it’s worth, attendees at
both shows were treated to generous servings of fine music. The Other Ones, playing
at The Arena in Oakland, turned in a buoyant three-hour-plus set (with no break!),
kicking things off at midnight with the traditional New Year’s anthem, “Sugar
Magnolia,” and winding up with a sweet
encore of “Ripple” in the wee small hours
of January 1st. They also had fine support,
in the form of Steve Kimock’s excellent band
and, in a long-awaited meeting of altered
minds, George Clinton and the P-Funk AllStars, who knocked the crowd out with a
relentless two-hour groovefest, highlighting Clinton’s brilliant distillation of funk,
jazz and psychedelia. To sum up: The funk
was given up; the mutha was turned out;
and the roof was, yea and verily, torn off
the sucka.
Over at Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium,
Phil Lesh & Friends (featuring Warren
Haynes, Jimmy Herring, Rob Barraco and
the ever-reliable John Molo) also were not
stingy with the music, playing three full
sets plus a lengthy encore. Haynes (as
though he didn’t have enough to do!) played
an opening set with his Gov’t Mule mate,
Matt Abts, and Mike Gordon of Phish made
a guest appearance.
That’s It for The Other Ones: The New
Year’s Eve show was, it appears, the last
by The Other Ones, at least for the foreseeable future. The music, of course, will
flourish and grow, in different configurations and mutations, as seen in our rundown of what the individual players will be
up to in the near future. But the Almanac
wants to give a little tip o’ the hat to all of
The Other Ones, for serving the music with
distinction at a time that it was needed,
and to say “thank you for a real good time.”
In the News:
and Mark Karan will be
rejoining their RatDog cohorts for an extensive spring tour (see back page for dates).
The tour will hit many places that RatDog
has never played, or hasn’t visited in some
time. Given the excellent reviews for
“Evening Moods” and the strong positive
word-of-mouth generated by last fall’s tour,
this should be one hot ticket. Bobby, by the
way, made a couple of notable guest appearances on Bay Area stages in recent months.
Last fall, he sat in with Phish at Shoreline
Amphitheatre, and more recently he played
with Rock/R&B piano trailblazer (and
RatDog alumnus) Johnnie Johnson at
Sweetwater in Mill Valley. While we’re on
the subject, our congratulations to Johnnie
on his long-overdue induction into the Rock
& Roll Hall of Fame.
Bill Kreutzmann , keeping up the
momentum created by his return to performing with The Other Ones, has formed
a new band in Hawaii, called House of
Spirits. The improv-friendly quartet is currently developing new material, and hopes
to start gigging regularly in the near future.
For info, stay tuned to Bill’s brand-new official website, www.ocean-spirit.com.
The Mickey Hart Band is scheduled to
reconvene for summer touring. In the
meantime, Mickey is busy as ever: On April
7 & 8, he will join many world-class percussionists at two benefit concerts in
Middletown, NY honoring Babatunde
Olatunji (for more info, visit the Olatunji
website: www.olatunjimusic.com); Mickey
also continues his advocacy of music as a
healing force, particularly in medical conditions affecting older people (for more
on this, see the Community News on page
2); not forgetting the younger generation,
Mickey guested with the San Francisco
Youth Symphony in December, as narrator of a holiday presentation of Prokofiev’s
“Peter and the Wolf.”
The current Phil & Friends lineup,
fresh from a successful run of shows in
the western US, is gearing up for a spring
tour covering the East Coast. You can find

Recently, Alphonso Johnson took to the
road again with Jazz is Dead, this time in
an acoustic setting, with a repertoire
focused on “Workingman’s Dead” and
“American Beauty.” Jeff Pevar joins on guitar for this tour. For more info, visit

MoDeReKo, featuring John Molo (with
his old pals from Bruce Hornsby’s band,
John D’Earth and Bobby Read, plus guitarist
Mark Kobza) has signed with Verve/Blue
Thumb Records. For MoDeReKo tour dates
and other info, see www.johnmolo.com.
Vince Welnick has joined forces with
Mood Food, a terrific young psychedelic/electric/jazz/groove band that has begun to
attract lots of attention in the Bay Area.
Vince and Mood Food are hitting the road
together, for a series of dates in April and
May in California, Nevada and the Pacific
Northwest. For tour dates and details, you
can visit either www.vincewelnick.com or

contains Mood Food audio downloads,
including some with Vince sitting in).
To conclude our news, a joyous social
note: Bill Kreutzmann and Linda Wiley were
married at their home in Hawaii on October
13th, in the presence of family and friends.
We wish the newlyweds a lifetime of blissful harmony.

Now, about that confusion in
DeadWorld mentioned earlier: For some
time there has been a strange, unsettled feeling in the air around us, regarding some of
the changes we’ve been going through, or
will go through soon. It’s no secret that there
has been some strong disagreement as to
how to best effect these changes. We won’t
go into the particulars of those disputes,
because they are really no business of anyone but the disagreeing parties. We would,
however, like to lay to rest some of the wild
rumor-mongering that has ensued from
these disputes, because it calls into question
the very nature of what we do with our lives,
and the integrity with which we do it.
If you have heard — anywhere, from
anyone — that the Grateful Dead tape
archives, the Dead’s songs, or Grateful Dead
Productions itself, is up for sale, lease or
license — to venture capitalists, shadowy
multinational conglomerates, or to anyone
— well, whoever told you that was, to put
it mildly, seriously misinformed. What we’re
about right now is what the Grateful Dead
has always been about: putting the music
out there for your pleasure and inspiration;
doing so in a manner that respects and honors both the music and those who love it;
and staying a step or two ahead of the law
— “the law” in this case being the conventional wisdom of the mainstream music
industry. We’ve always tried to negotiate
that treacherous ol’ art vs. commerce
conundrum as well as we can, and we’d like
to think we’ve done so better than most.
This latest stab at reinvention involves coming to grips with the changing business and
technological realities confronting the
music industry. Our intention is the exact
opposite of capitulation to Big Business
— if anything, we’re trying to create a
stronger, more independent small business, owned by the artists who make the
music, allowing those artists an unprecedented measure of control over their creative work, and the manner in which it is
distributed. We’re still in the process of finetuning our plans, and if we can’t do it right,
we’d rather not do it at all. But we think it’s
an effort well worth making.
The simple fact is, we are all here for
pretty much the same reason you are — we
were drawn here by our love for the music,
and our desire to share it with others. With
all the changes going on around here, that
is one thing that we have no intention of
changing, ever.
And should any of us — fans, musicians
or other denizens of DeadWorld — ever
find ourselves in danger of forgetting just
why we do what we do, we might do well
to heed the words of Stephanie Lallouz, a
wonderful young artist, musician and
Deadhead from Topanga, California, who
we met while on tour with the Other Ones
last year. Stephanie told us how this music
we love has helped to inspire her in her
own creative life, adding that she’s always
felt a special obligation, as a Deadhead, to
carry some of that inspiration and good will
with her in her travels, and to spread it
around. And she turned us on to a simple
but stunningly apt phrase she uses to
describe that sense of purpose she feels:
“I think of it,” she says, “as an act of
spiritual diplomacy.”
Many thanks, Stephanie, for that lovely perspective on what really matters.
As ever, our little community, as well
as the world at large, can use every spiritual diplomat available. We’ll try to do our
part from here, and hope all of you will do
the same.

THE REDWOOD PROJECT
The Redwood Project is a musical
celebration of the redwood forest inspired
by the majesty of the ancient trees and the
struggle to protect them.
Composer/percussionist Matt Butler
along with a stellar cast of musicians delivers organic grooves that take you on a jamming ambient journey through the forest.
The Redwood Project features performances by Butler, didgeridoo master
Stephen Kent, Greg Anton (Zero), Robin
Sylvester (Missing Man Formation) and
Butler’s former Jambay bandmates Chris
Haugen (strings), Mike Sugar (bass) and
Shelley Doty (vocals) along with the
Tibetan chanting of Thupten Lama.
Matt describes his intention in creating The Redwood Project as, “bringing the
experience of the ancient forest to people
who don’t have access to it. Once touched
by the beauty of these forests, it’s hard
for a person to sit still and watch them
disappear. And now that there is less than
4% of the ancient redwoods left, it would
be a good thing to motivate people into
action.” The music captures the spirit of
the forest in a way that reflects Butler’s
desire to inspire, unify and empower the
community that is protecting the forests.
The album is a benefit for EPIC
(Environmental Protection Information
Center). Since 1983, EPIC has led a hero-
ic effort to protect California’s ancient redwood ecosystem through public education, citizen advocacy and litigation.

Rex Foundation Report
DR. RALPH STANLEY
Recipient of the Rex Foundation’s
RALPH J. GLEASON AWARD
Established in 1986 in memory of
pioneering jazz & pop music journalist Ralph J. Gleason (1917-1975), this
award is given to individuals or groups
that have made outstanding contributions to the arts.
From the Grand Ole Opry to Carnegie
Hall, five-string banjo virtuoso and singer
Dr. Ralph Stanley has been a tireless
ambassador of Bluegrass and traditional
Appalachian music for more than 50 years.
For his incomparable artistry, the Rex
Foundation is proud to present the Ralph
J. Gleason Award to Ralph Stanley.
Born in 1927 and raised in a musical
family, Ralph Stanley learned his craft
from his parents, in his local Baptist
church, and later, from such mentors as
the Carter Family and the Monroe
Brothers. In the 1940s, Ralph and his older
brother Carter joined forces as a musical
duo, and the Stanley Brothers quickly
became one of the greatest songwriting
and performing teams in country music
history, recording such classics as “White
Dove,” “Man of Constant Sorrow,” “Hard
Times,” “The Lonesome River,” and “She’s
More to Be Pitied,” to name just a few.
After Carter Stanley’s death in 1966,
Ralph struck out on his own as leader of
the Clinch Mountain Boys, the band he
still leads to this day. As he grew to be one
of the most respected elder statesmen of
Bluegrass, Stanley became a mentor to
many younger musicians, and the Clinch
Mountain Boys became a kind of musical university for future stars.
Today, well into his eighth decade on
Earth and his sixth as a performer, and
with over 150 albums among his credits,
Ralph Stanley is still on the road, and he
continues to exert a strong influence on
several generations of musicians and fans.
2
Recently, moviegoers have been made
aware of Ralph, with the inclusion of “Man
of Constant Sorrow” and other Stanley
Brothers classics on the critically
acclaimed soundtrack of the hit film “O
Brother, Where Art Thou?” When Bob
Dylan joined Ralph for a duet on the
recent all-star tribute album “Clinch
Mountain Country,” Dylan (who has featured several Stanley Brothers songs in
his recent concert repertoire) unabashedly referred to the experience as “the highlight of my career.” And one of Stanley’s
most avid musical disciples, Jerry Garcia
once said, quite simply: “Ralph Stanley
is my model for the best voice in the
world.”
May that voice continue to be heard.
BABATUNDE OLATUNJI
Recipient of the Rex Foundation’s
JERRY GARCIA AWARD
Established in memory of Grateful Dead
guitarist and founding Rex board member Jerry Garcia (1942-1995), this award
is designed to honor and support individuals and groups that work to encourage creativity in young people.
It’s not an overstatement to suggest
that no one is more responsible for introducing Western ears to African music
than Nigerian-born master drummer
Babatunde Olatunji. Long before phrases
like “world music” and “multi-culturalism”
became voguish, Olatunji was permeating the popular consciousness.
Today, over forty years into his remarkable career, Baba Olatunji remains true to
his mission: to inspire and educate as well
as entertain. It is in recognition of his role
as a teacher and inspiration to countless
young musicians and music listeners that
the Rex Foundation presents to Babatunde
Olatunji the Jerry Garcia Award.
“I’m afraid if we’re not careful,” Olatunji
has said, “the real traditional music, the
source, will be forgotten… The awareness
has not reached the grass roots… We need
to take the music from the theaters and
jazz clubs to the schools.” For more than
four decades, Baba Olatunji has backed up
that conviction with action. In the wake
of his first great success in the 1950s, he
established a series of free concerts in the
public schools of New York City, which
soon expanded to neighboring counties
and states, and eventually nationwide. In
the 1960s he fulfilled a longtime dream by
opening the Olatunji Center for African
Culture in the heart of Harlem. For a quarter-century, the Center offered live musical events (John Coltrane gave his last
public performance there, shortly before
his death in 1967) and low-cost classes in
music and dance, all in the service of promoting awareness of African culture in the
nation’s best-known African-American
community.
Throughout his career, Olatunji has continued to teach students of every age, in
schools, universities, and in an ongoing
series of special workshops. To this day,
he still educates, he still inspires, and he
still conveys the awesome power of the
drum. As always, Baba himself puts it most
eloquently:
“The spirit of the drum is something that
you feel but cannot put your hands on… It
does something to you from the inside out
. . . it hits people in so many different ways.
But the feeling is one that is satisfying and
joyful. It is a feeling that makes you say to
yourself, ‘I’m glad to be alive today! I’m glad
to be part of this world!’”
We at the Rex Foundation are thankful that Baba Olatunji is part of our world.
SECULAR INSTITUTE MAUN ALIN IHA KRISTO
Recipient of the Rex Foundation’s
BILL GRAHAM AWARD
This award, established in memory of legendary concert producer and founding Rex
board member Bill Graham (1931-1991),
himself a refugee, is designated for organizations and individuals working to assist
children who are victims of political oppression and human rights violations.

Our Family Doctor: In a
ceremony held last October
12th, the San Francisco-based
Saybrook Graduate School and
Research Center, an institution
dedicated to the study of
humanistic psychology, conferred an honorary Doctorate
of Humane Letters upon
Mickey Hart, for his dedication
to gathering, preserving and
restoring endangered musical
recordings from around the
world. It was not your typically formal cap-and-gown affair:
Mickey was presented with a
special Skull-and-Roses mortarboard by Dr. Huston Smith,
the eminent authority on world religions (see photo). Our congratulations
to the good Doctor for this welldeserved honor.

Founded in 1990, the Secular
Institute Maun Alin Iha Kristo (Brothers
and Sisters of Christ) grew out of work
begun in 1960 in Dare, East Timor by
Sister Maria Lourdes, dedicated to children who face social and cultural barriers to education. An educational
institute grounded in the philosophy of
liberation theology, the Institute teaches its members to be a source of inspiration to the Timorese people, training
them not only intellectually but also in
hygiene, social and economic skills, cultural activities and spiritual formation.
The Institute runs six schools for
women and girls, an informal popular
education program, and self-sufficient
agricultural work. The Institute maintains several health care centers, including a popular clinic and a hospice, and
provides other medical services and
hands-on training of East Timorese
health personnel. The Institute seeks to
promote real social change and community awareness.
Secular Institute Maun Alin Iha
Kristo is building a center for community education and reconciliation. One
of the institute’s goals is to preserve local
languages and culture, which are being
overwhelmed by Indonesian language,
history and culture taught in schools
and the Indonesian transmigration program. Because the people of East Timor
have had little control over their lives
for many years, leadership skills are
lacking, and the Institute works to build
leadership among the youth. Lourdes
also collects traditional music, and is an
expert in traditional food and medicine.
The Institute was officially approved
by Bishop Belo — the East Timorese
Bishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner—
in 1998, and Lourdes took her perpetual vows in February of that year. At the
same time eleven of her candidates took
their first vows. Once trained, candidates are sent out into the community.

NEW MUSIC
The steady stream of musical riches from the Grateful Dead
tape vault has flowed quite a bit more quickly of late, a
situation about which we’ve heard no complaints whatsoever
from Deadheads. Things accelerate even more with the latest
Garcia by Moonlight
two volumes of Dick’s Picks, which between them manage to
cram three virtually complete shows (and a generous chunk
of a fourth) into two releases.
WBRUCE HORNSBY W
Here Come The Noise Makers
This is the album that Hornsby-heads
have been waiting for — Bruce and
his amazing turn-on-a-dime band,
documented live at last. Recorded in
a variety of locations during 1998 and
’99, the two-disc set captures much of
the mind-boggling breadth of Bruce’s
music, as he blithely leaps across
stylistic boundaries. We’re treated to
sparkling versions of many of
Hornsby’s best-known original tunes,
plus interpretations and interpolations
of works by a dizzying variety of
composers, including Jerry Garcia and
Robert Hunter, George Gershwin, Bud
Powell, Bill Evans, Bob Dylan and
Samuel Barber.

Onondaga County War Memorial • Syracuse, NY
(Plus excerpt from September 2, 1980
Community War Memorial • Rochester, NY)
After a 20-month hiatus from touring (during which they
recorded Blues For Allah plus various solo projects, and
gave a handful of unannounced live performances in San
Francisco), a revitalized Grateful Dead returned to the road
with a vengeance in the late spring of 1976 and continued
through to autumn, starting out with multi-night runs in
small theaters and graduating to arenas and stadiums. The
repertoire on the tour featured some material the band had
seldom (or never) played live, plus revivals (and, in some
cases, radical reworkings of ) some old favorites. By the
time they got to the Capital Centre near Washington, DC
and, three nights later, the Onondaga County War
Memorial in Syracuse, NY, the Dead, with some thirty
shows under their belts, were playing with renewed
confidence and fire, powered by the reunited percussion
tandem of Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, touring
together for the first time since 1971. Dick’s Picks 20
presents these two shows in their near-entirety (due to
length and/or technical considerations, one song per show
has been excised. Fortunately, these two songs were
performed at both shows, so each is represented here).
Among the highlights on the four discs are: an early live
Dead performance of Bob Weir’s “Lazy Lightnin’>
Supplication” medley (which Weir had premiered the
previous year with his extra-curricular band, Kingfish); two
takes of the Dead’s twisted-disco rearrangement of the
Motown classic “Dancing In The Streets,” which segues, in
the Cap Centre show, into the band’s last performance ever
of “Cosmic Charlie” (a notorious 1994 instrumental “tease”
of the song notwithstanding); an unusual coupling of “Let
It Grow” and “Going Down The Road Feeling Bad”; and the
epic, seamless second set from the Syracuse show,
bookended by “Playing in the Band” and featuring, among
other delights, a hard-driving “Samson and Delilah,” the
gorgeous “Comes A Time,” and a soaring “Eyes Of The
World.”
We jump ahead nearly a decade for Dick’s Picks, Volume 21 —
and then we jump back five years for the bonus tracks that fill
out disc three. But for now, let’s come to rest in 1985, the year
that marked the twentieth anniversary of the Grateful Dead —
a landmark the band observed with a characteristic lack of
fanfare or self-congratulation. Mostly, they just kept right on
working, continuing their odds-defying, ever-growing status as
one of the world’s top-drawing live bands. The Dead’s fall tour
brought them to the ever-hospitable city of Richmond, Virginia,
where they played a two-night stand at the Richmond
Coliseum. The first of those two shows, on All Saints’ Day,
comprises the bulk of DP21.
The first set is a solid one — a fine foundation-builder,
with a strong version of “Stagger Lee,” which makes its
Dick’s Picks debut here, as one of the highlights. But as was
so often the case, it’s in the second set that the Dead really
start to mix things up. In this case that translates to some
surprising song choices and placements. Two of the most
lovely Garcia-Hunter ballads, “High Time” and “Comes a
Time,” find their way into the set, the latter out of a medley
of “He’s Gone” and Willie Dixon’s “Spoonful.” The band also
does something it had never done before (and would not
do again) — splitting the familiar pairing of “Lost Sailor”
and “Saint of Circumstance.” And from there on out, the
Dead switch into cover-band mode, with a romp through
“Gimme Some Lovin’, ” a rare version of Bob Dylan’s “She
Belongs To Me,” and a ragged, somewhat goofy and
thoroughly enjoyable deconstruction of Van Morrison’s
great garage-band anthem, “Gloria.”
Some might think it odd that the bonus segment on disc
three is so chronologically distant from the rest of the material
on this set, something of a departure from Dick’s Picks
tradition. A word of explanation: We would love to bring you
the 9/2/80 show from Rochester — an evening that, audience
tapers and other sources tell us, was a gem all the way through
— in its entirety. But we can’t. The half-hour-plus post-drums
fragment heard here is, for reasons unknown, the only part of
this show that resides in the Vault. But it’s one heck of a
fragment, and it fit the yawning chasm of empty disc-three
space like the proverbial glove, so the benevolent wizards of
Club Front figured you wouldn’t mind a few years of time travel.
Hey, what’s a little temporal disorientation between friends?

Jerry’s “other” band turned into his primary gig during
the time of the Grateful Dead’s temporary retirement
from touring in the mid-70s, and Garcia, inveterate
jammer that he was, could usually be found playing in
some little Bay Area beer hall, or in small venues elsewhere in the country. This period yielded one of the very
best versions of the JGB: a grouping that found Garcia
and Kahn joined by two of Jerry’s bandmates in the
Grateful Dead — the husband-and-wife keyboard-andvocal team of Keith and Donna Godchaux — and by
legendary drummer Ron Tutt, who had the remarkable
distinction of alternating between this busman’s holiday
with Garcia and his steady gig of recording and touring
with the King his own self, Elvis Presley. This incarnation
of Jerry’s band has never been heard on an official live
release — until now, that is, with the discovery in the
Grateful Dead Vault of this sparkling performance at San
Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre, on May 21, 1976 ( just days
before the Dead returned to the road).
Among the highlights on Don’t Let Go are several
songs never before released on a Jerry Garcia album,
including J.J. Cale’s “After Midnight,” Jimmy Cliff ’s
“Sitting in Limbo,” Leon Russell and Delaney and Bonnie
Bramlett’s “Lonesome and A Long Way From Home.”
Also featured are Grateful Dead favorites “Sugaree” and
“They Love Each Other” and such Garcia Band staples as
“I’ll Take A Melody,” “My Sisters and Brothers,” “Tore Up
Over You” and the title song (in addition to
the 14 songs from the Orpheum Theatre show, there is
a bonus track, “Mighty High,” recorded at Keystone
Berkeley later that year).
The resident wizards at Grateful Dead Records have, as always,
digitally mastered these recordings from the original source
tapes, with the usual happy results. Don’t Let Go and Shining
Star are bright additions to Jerry Garcia’s ever-growing
musical legacy.

Shining Star is a new collection of previously unreleased
performances by the Jerry Garcia Band, recorded in the late
80s and early 90s and featuring the longest-running
incarnation (1984-1994) of the JGB (Garcia on guitar and
vocals; John Kahn, bass; David Kemper, drums; Melvin
Seals, keyboards; Gloria Jones and Jackie LaBranch,
vocals). The latter-day JGB grew into something much
bigger than just Jerry’s “bar band” — in many cities, the
band was able to sell out large arenas and amphitheaters as
a headliner.
Garcia was, of course, known as a great songwriter in his
own right, turning out (with Robert Hunter) three decades’
worth of memorable tunes for the Grateful Dead and for his
own solo projects. But he was also a superb interpreter of
material by other composers, and “Shining Star” spotlights
that side of his artistry, presenting cover versions of songs
that have not turned up on previous live JGB albums. In
addition to the title tune, a 1980 smash for The
Manhattans, Garcia and friends cover great songs by a
remarkably diverse group of artists, including Van
Morrison, Bob Dylan, Smokey Robinson, Jimmy Cliff,
Chuck Berry, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Solomon
Burke and yes, even Irving Berlin, whose 1927 gem
“Russian Lullaby” was a longtime favorite of Jerry’s.

WDon’t Let GoW
WWDick’s Picks Volume 20WW
When Jerry Garcia wasn’t engaged in his day
job as lead guitarist for the Grateful Dead,
his restless spirit and unquenchable thirst
for musical adventure led him to all sorts of
intriguing extra-curricular projects, from the
bluegrass of Old and In The Way to jazzy
explorations with organists Merl Saunders
and Howard Wales. The longest-running of
Jerry’s moonlighting gigs was The Jerry
Garcia Band, which existed for some two
decades with a changing cast of characters
(the one constant being bassist John Kahn).
A more stripped-down, less wildly
experimental setting than the Grateful Dead,
the JGB allowed Jerry to exercise his chops
in different directions, and to indulge his
passion for singing and playing some of his
favorite rock, blues and R&B classics. A
newly-released pair of two-CD sets from Grateful Dead
Records showcase two of the most fondly remembered
editions of the Jerry Garcia Band.

WJOHN CIPPOLINA W
Electric Guitarslinger
John Cipollina (1943-1989) was
one of the primary architects of the
San Francisco Sound, and one of the
finest guitarists to emerge from
the rock music scene of the sixties.
As a founding member of the legendary
band Quicksilver Messenger Service,
and in later projects such as
Copperhead, Thunder & Lightning,
the Dinosaurs and Zero, John created
a unique and instantly recognizable
electric guitar style that continues to
influence new generations of players.
John Cipollina: Electric Guitarslinger
is a one-hour video tribute to the life and
work of a brilliant musician and a
beloved member of the Bay Area musical
community.
Interspersed with archival concert
footage are reflections by many of John’s
friends and fans, including Bill Graham,
Jerry Garcia, Nicky Hopkins, Merl
Saunders, Dan Healy, Pete Sears, David
Freiberg, Greg Elmore, Barry Melton
and Paul Kantner, as well as members of
the Cipollina family.
Electric Guitarslinger is an essential
addition to the collection of any John
Cipollina fan.

The music of the Dead finds new life in
these three critically-acclaimed albums,
featuring wonderful interpretations of
GD classics. Might As Well features
soulful renditions by the mighty kings
of a cappella, The Persuasions; Wake
the Dead gives the music a lovely Gaelic
lilt, courtesy of a gifted group of Celtic
folk specialists; and Stolen Roses is a
fascinating grab bag of wildly different
twists on the Dead, by artists ranging
from Bob Dylan, Patti Smith and Elvis
Costello to Widespread Panic, Henry
Rollins and the Stanford University
Marching Band.

BILL KREUTZMANN’S SPIRITWEAR
You’ve listened (and danced) to Bill Kreutzmann’s art for years.
Now you can wear some of it!
When he isn’t at his drums or somewhere
deep in the Pacific Ocean, Bill has, in recent
years, found time to engage in another
pleasurable pursuit — creating colorful and
imaginative works of art on his computer.
Now this hobby has resulted in a kind of
high-tech variation on the classic Hawaiian
shirt — the first in a new line of apparel
called SpiritWear. These 100% silk beauties
feature original artwork that reflects both the
natural splendor of the artist’s adopted home
of Hawaii and his great love of the sea,
incorporating elements of Bill’s own
underwater photography into the design.
