The Other Ones The Strange Remain (Arista) The recipe for a successful jam-band reunion reads something like this: three parts Grateful Dead, two parts Bruce Hornsby and the Range, a splash of sax, garnish with a couple of guitarists, serve chilled. As the Other Ones' performance at last year's Furthur Festival proved, you can't keep a good band down. Three years after the death of Jerry Garcia, founding members of the Grateful Dead–Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart–put the act back on the road. Bruce Hornsby, who joined the band temporarily in 1990, played keyboards and brought along longtime drummer John Molo from the Range (and, recently, Hart's Planet Drum). John Ellis of Weir's Ratdog added some brass. Steve Kimock (who played with former Dead members Keith and Donna Godchaux) and Mark Karan filled in on guitars. This project is hardly a Dead rehash; the two-CD set collects recordings made at the Furthur Festival, spotlighting the new, the old and the different. Weir struts his stuff on "Jack Straw," and on the unreleased "Corrina." Hornsby's "White-Wheeled Limousine" and "Rainbow's Cadillac" get the full-out Dead jam treatment. "Only the Strange Remain," an eerie trip, is originally from Mickey Hart's Mystery Box. The bluesy "Banyan Tree," penned by Weir, Hart and Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, debuted just last year. Lesh shines vocally on "Mountains of the Moon," where fans insist his voice sounds better than it has in decades. Jerry is obviously not on this album, and on tunes such as "Friend of the Devil," "St. Stephen" and "China Cat Sunflower," there's something a little bitter about that. But his spirit is there. The way he's covered–keyboards up high, two guitars to his one, Phil, Bruce and Bob chipping in on vocals, but not quite exactly the way Garcia did it–is sweet, too. The band has a vitality that was missing in a lot of the later shows just before his death. The music did not die with the man.– Robin A. Rothman Time Out New York April 8-15, 1999 .

Jerry Garcia Paintings & Drawings: 1961–1995
ART EXHIBITION Jerry Garcia Paintings & Drawings: 1961–1995 June 12—September 6, 2020 This summer, the San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) presents the first survey of legendary musician Jerry Garcia’s lifelong visual art practice. Garcia, born and raised in San Francisco and a lifelong Bay Area resident, was deeply influenced by the city's colorful and diverse cultures. When he was a teenager, Garcia studied visual art at SFAI (then called the California School of Fine Arts) with teachers including Wally Hedrick, a seminal American visual artist of the Bay Area Beat Generation. Garcia's painting and drawing practice continued throughout his life and provided a creative refuge in an extremely public and successful career. The exhibition includes more than 60 works, both figurative and abstract, including ink and charcoal drawings, watercolors, and digital paintings, along with a selection of Garcia’s sketchbooks. It is curated by Andrew McClintock from the collection of Deborah Koons Garcia, Garcia’s widow who received her MFA in film at SFAI. Jerry Garcia was a composer, songwriter, and guitarist who played with The Jerry Garcia Band, the Grateful Dead, and David Grisman. General Information San Francisco Art Institute – Fort Mason’s galleries are open to the public Wednesday - Sunday 11am - 7pm and are located on Pier 2 within Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, 2 Marina Blvd., San Francisco, CA.

Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

For Immediate Release July 2016 Rare Jerry Garcia Band
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 2016 RARE JERRY GARCIA BAND PERFORMANCE OUT AUGUST 19TH VIA TWO-DISC ARCHIVAL SERIES RELEASE GARCIALIVE VOLUME SEVEN RECORDED NOVEMBER 8, 1976 AT SOPHIE’S IN PALO ALTO, CA PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED AND UNCIRCULATED TAPES FOUND BY FORMER GRATEFUL DEAD & JGB VOCALIST DONNA JEAN GODCHAUX Nashville, TN – On August 19, Round Records & ATO Records will release the two-disc GarciaLive Volume Seven: November 8th, 1976 – Jerry Garcia Band, a previously unreleased and uncirculated performance recorded at Sophie’s in Palo Alto, CA. The original reels, along with several other recordings, which have come to be known as the “Houseboat Tapes,” were only recently discovered by former Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia Band vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux. The chance finding is the subject of a Q&A with Godchaux in the current issue of Relix. Pre-order for GarciaLive Vol. Seven can be found at Garcia Family Provisions (http://jerrygarcia.shop.musictoday.com/). Once a supermarket, Sophie’s was an unassuming and intimate venue where the Jerry Garcia Band played four times in 1976. The hall eventually became the Keystone Palo Alto and hosted the group many more times through the years. Palo Alto itself holds a distinctive place in Garcia’s history. After a brief stint in the Army, it was where Garcia settled and became fully committed to music in the early 1960’s when he was teaching guitar and playing in bands around the area. With former Elvis Presley drummer Ron Tutt manning the throne, longtime Garcia collaborator John Kahn on bass, Keith Godchaux on keys and Donna Jean Godchaux on backing vocals, this ensemble performed almost 70 shows that year and became known as one of the Garcia Band’s strongest lineups.
