MOST Powerful Quotes about the late, great Jerry Garica <3

“There’s no way to measure his greatness or magnitude as a person or as a player. He really had no equal. His playing was moody, awesome, sophisticated, hypnotic, and subtle. There’s no way to convey the loss.” - BOB DYLAN

“I feel your silent laughter at sentiments so bold, that date to step across the line to tell what must be told, so I’ll just say I love you, which I never said before, and let it go at that old friend the rest you may ignore.”- ROBERT HUNTER

“I see him in my dreams all the time. I hear him when I’m on stage. I would say I can’t talk to him, but I can. I don’t miss him. He’s here. He’s with me.” - BOB WEIR

“Jerry had this ineffable sweetness and vulnerability, even when he was playing his wildest up-in-the-spheres stuff. It’s something you don’t really see that often in musicians working in this field. We never really talked about this, because it was so obvious to all of us, but he knew he wasn’t making that music; it was like he was just up there quoting or transcribing what it was that was being given to him or coming through him, as we all were in the best moments. That’s the goal that we strive for, that we still strive for.” - PHIL LESH

“Where do you begin? There’s so much to say about him. He was a benign, lovable guy and he was also a magic man, a shaman. There was a feeling of going out in the world with kindness that Jerry represented. That shines through beyond all the other stuff.” - MICKEY HART

“Jerry was the best musician I ever played with. He was 100 percent music. Every pore, every bit of his body, every molecule, was music, whether he liked it or not. He was like a Mile Davis or a Coltrane or somebody like that – just completely locked into it. I always felt that I could hear in his music him talking about things at a much deeper level than what appeared on the surface. There aren’t many musicians who have that gift – to be really profound.” - BILL KREUTZMANN

“Something that immediately comes to mind when I think of Jerry is his almost total aversion to self-aggrandizement of any kind.”- GARY LAMBERT

Fare you well, my honey.

Fare you well, my only true love.

All the birds that were singing

Have flown, except you alone...

"To Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow." - John Mayer

John Mayer Talks Magical Dead & Company Tour & Sends Respects to Jerry Garcia

"This tour was magical. This band flourished in so many ways. To learn each others' moves as people and musicians, so as to support each other on stage and off made every night a beautiful adventure. I grew up a lone wolf in a bedroom practicing my guitar, and all I ever really craved was community. The community I feel now between my brothers and sisters in this band and crew, and the connection between everyone in the audience from the front row to the back, to those who listened from couches and cars, to those who come up to me and say more with their eyes than their words in their attempt to tell me what this means to them - I will never forget it, because I will never stop feeling it. We're together now. I'm honored to be one of many musicians in the larger community of the GDEU (Grateful Dead Extended Universe.) And it must be said - to Jerry: what a light you are that I could bask in your shadow. ❤️⚡️🌹💀 love you all.." -John Mayer

Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia!!!

1942 Jerry Garcia was born this day! Thank you for the music, the inspiration, the light & the joy that still lights up my world all these years later...

Black Throated Wind - Bob Weir (2011)

"The black-throated wind keeps on pouring in.

And it speaks of a life that passes like dew.

It's forced me to see that you've done better by me,

Better by me than I've done by you.

What's to be found, racing around,

You carry your pain wherever you go.

Full of the blues and trying to lose

You ain't gonna learn what you don't want to know.

So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies

Please help them to learn as well as to see

Capture a glance and make it a dance

Of looking at you looking at me..."

"She went down to Deep Elem, now she ain't what she used to be..."

Big Boss Man - Grateful Dead (1970)

"You ain't so big, you just tall, that's about all..."

Easy Wind - Grateful Dead (1970)
