The Grateful Dead, the Music Never Stopped The Grateful Dead, The Music Never Stopped There's mosquitoes on the river Fish are rising up like birds It's been hot for seven weeks now, Too hot to even speak now, Did you hear what I just heard? Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind But there seems to be a beat now I can feel it my feet now Listen here it comes again! There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns Everybody dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands. Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time. They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir People joining hand in hand While the music played the band, Lord They're setting us on fire. Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along Old men sing about their dreams, Women laugh and children scream And the band keeps playin' on. Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, Greet the mornin' air with song No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. Was it ever there at all? But they keep on dancin' C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands Well the cool breeze came on Tuesday, And the corn's a bumper crop And the fields are full of dancin' Full of singin' and romancin' The music never stopped.

  • 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.

    Numanities - Arts and Humanities in Progress 7 Rūta Stanevičiūtė Nick Zangwill Rima Povilionienė Editors Of Essence and Context Between Music and Philosophy Numanities - Arts and Humanities in Progress Volume 7 Series Editor Dario Martinelli, Faculty of Creative Industries, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Vilnius, Lithuania [email protected] The series originates from the need to create a more proactive platform in the form of monographs and edited volumes in thematic collections, to discuss the current crisis of the humanities and its possible solutions, in a spirit that should be both critical and self-critical. “Numanities” (New Humanities) aim to unify the various approaches and potentials of the humanities in the context, dynamics and problems of current societies, and in the attempt to overcome the crisis. The series is intended to target an academic audience interested in the following areas: – Traditional fields of humanities whose research paths are focused on issues of current concern; – New fields of humanities emerged to meet the demands of societal changes; – Multi/Inter/Cross/Transdisciplinary dialogues between humanities and social and/or natural sciences; – Humanities “in disguise”, that is, those fields (currently belonging to other spheres), that remain rooted in a humanistic vision of the world; – Forms of investigations and reflections, in which the humanities monitor and critically assess their scientific status and social condition; – Forms of research animated by creative and innovative humanities-based

  • Light-Into-Ashes-Grateful-Dead-Music-Emotions
    Nicholas Dauphinais 8/6/2016 Globe Institute Summer Intensive Light Into Ashes What was it about the vibration of the Grateful Dead that drew beings together from all walks of life together in unity? Were they potentially the greatest sound healers in rock and roll? Some came for freedom, inspiration, drugs, spiritual experiences; others came to spin in circles. The one thing that made Grateful Dead concerts so unique was not just the band but the fans. Most fans would agree it was a place they felt safe to be themselves and that the music healed some part of their consciousness they needed. Without the fans the Grateful Dead would not have been able to pull off what they did musically. Often times they were feeding off the crowd energetically, like one big mirror. Jerry Garcia once said “We still feel that our function is as a dance band. We like to play with dancers….nothing improves your time like having somebody dance. It pulls the whole thing together, and is also a nice little feedback thing”. By creating this environment for the fans to feel freedom they were able to advance in their musical explorations themselves and feel freedom on a stage. This was revolutionary time period to be alive. During their birth of a band they were one of the least popular San Francisco bands getting zero media attention. Immerging from the scene were bands like Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service, this was a beautiful time period to be a band, it was almost impossible not to have inspiration everywhere you looked.

  • Jerry Garcia's Long, Strange Trip
    Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip... Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip rolls on 15 years after his death, Grateful Dead leader’s influence ingrained in culture By Tony Sclafani, TODAYshow.com contributor, MSNBC, 8/6, 4:28 p.m. ET Forget vanilla. Fifteen years after Jerry Garcia died on August 9, 1995, his namesake ice cream, Cherry Garcia, continues to be the best-selling flavor for the Ben & Jerry’s brand, according to spokesperson Liz Stewart. This tidbit of information might seem trivial, but it underscores a larger point: the influence of the Grateful Dead’s guiding force continues to be felt in popular culture in ways few people would have imagined when he was a cult figure back in the 1960s and ’70s. Over the decades, Garcia’s reputation grew as he became a symbol of both the counterculture and a do-your-own-thing aesthetic he exemplified with his music. As chief songwriter and lead guitarist with the Grateful Dead, he expanded the boundaries of rock by incorporating a myriad of influences into his songs and bringing jazz-inspired guitar improvisations to the rock concert stage. “Anybody who was not afraid to have a song last for 20 minutes early on was influenced by his music,” said Bruce Hornsby, who scored a chart topping hit in the 1980s before becoming an unofficial Grateful Dead member in the 1990s. “(He) spawned Phish, the Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic and I think also the Allman Brothers.” But if you count Garcia only as being the granddaddy of the jam band scene, 1 / 5 Jerry Garcia's long, strange trip..

  • Olssonlsson - Listeninglistening Forfor Thethe Secret.Inddsecret.Indd 1313 116/02/176/02/17 8:428:42 PMPM 14 / Popular Avant-Garde?
    1. Popular Avant-Garde: Renegotiating Tradition When studying the Grateful Dead—both the band and the wider cultural phenomenon—one should not be surprised if the image discovered is mixed or even contradictory: Was the Grateful Dead a rock band at all? If not, what was it? Jerry Garcia early on could claim that the band was not for “cranking out rock and roll” but “to get high.”1 Bob Weir stated that “we’re a jazz band. I won’t say we’re nothing but a jazz band, because our basic premise is rock ‘n’ roll. We just approach it from a jazz point of view.”2 Phil Lesh talked about the music that the band played as “electric chamber music,”3 empha- sizing that the “Grateful Dead is more than music, but it has always been fundamentally music . this ongoing experiment in collective creativity.”4 The three band members apparently agree that they did not form your aver- age rock band, but at the same time they formulate rather different visions of what the band is about. Even within the band, opinions differ on what must have been a central issue—but that issue could not be settled outside of the music, it could only be worked out, resolved in music. In that practice, positions could shift, often in just a few bars—Garcia searching for an Apollonian exactness and clarity, the definitive CD version or interpretation of a song, and Lesh pushing the music into the ecstatic unknown, promoting improvisation and madness, the Dionysian version of the Dead.

  • Sound, Music and the Brain: Tools to Enhance Communication, Learning and Behavior
    Sound, Music and the Brain: Tools to Enhance Communication, Learning and Behavior Contact information: Kathy Arquette [email protected] 503.302.7869 Lin Bauer [email protected] 503.507.3515 Additional information/resources: Dr. Alfred Tomatis (1920-2001) was a French Ear, Nose and Throat specialist. Dr. Tomatis discovered that listening problems are the root cause of may learning problems. His research led to knowledge auditory processing and its relationship to learning, behavior and communication. When our ears cannot hear certain frequencies, our voice does not contain them either. He discovered that the muscles of the middle ear, which are the gatekeepers to the brain for air conducted sound, can be strengthened and retrained. Sounds that enter the brain via bone conduction go directly into the inner ear, which makes focusing very difficult. Dr. Tomatis created a machine called the Electronic Ear to help this process. One of his books that has been translated into English is called The Conscious Ear which explains his discoveries. One of his students, Paul Madaule, wrote a book called When Listening Comes Alive telling his own story of his early learning struggles, and how Dr. Tomatis helped him overcome them. He runs a Tomatis based Listening Centre in Canada. Advanced Brain Technologies (www.advancedbrain.com) has done much follow up research and continues to offer music and sound technologies for a variety of purposes. Joshua Leeds is a sound healer who has worked with Advanced Brain, as well as on his own. His books include: The Healing Power of Sound. Don Campbell has written extensively on the transformational power of sound, music, toning and listening.

  • Thomas Ledbury Research Journal 4/7/16 the California Subculture
    Thomas Ledbury Research Journal 4/7/16 The California Subculture of The Grateful Dead The culture of the fans to The Grateful Dead is an outstanding representation of how California’s melting pot of cultures is a dream to experience. Why is California Great? In the music by the Grateful dead, the artists share a love of the music, which installs itself into the mind of the fans. A band born in 1965 still resonates this overwhelming appealing of the California culture that other people feel when listening to the music. I have listened to plenty of interviews throughout the Tie Dyed documentary and believe that this paper could eventually show why this is true. As the people gather to these concerts across the world fans from Chicago to Boston always explain their experience as a sensation of love and community. The laid back lifestyle that makes California so appealing to the outside world is the warm relaxing life you must love if you are in California. One thing I have definitely learned and will look further into is this turmoil created outside of the shoes. When police force was used in the late 80s and turned brutal many for the fans were outraged and it created a hostile scene in many states. This is not what the Grateful Dead ever wanted to result from a show. As populations in towns doubled over night because of a Grateful Dead show the community became fed up. In the interviews we can see how concerned the artists are because this doesn’t portray the laid back vibes of the music.
