Sat Eye Candy: Happy B-Day Jerry

We miss you brother, but your spirit will always live on.

Come down to McLaren Park in San Francisco tomorrow for Jerry Day; Melvin Seals and JGB amongst other bands, FREE!

Lets honor and remember Jerry!

Best ever.

Happy Birthday Jerry. Nothing going on in Nashville for you. I'll make sure they have a party next year though. See you next Saturday at the mule jam in Atlanta.

As the old saying goes, "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert." Never was, never will be. The bands today are fun but dont even compare to what was. Listen to 8/2/82, his fortieth. The boys were on fire. Thanks for the lifetime of memories. Smile, Smile, Smile

wow bluntbisco, I'll just let everyone else comment on that little insight into your obviously weak mind. what I was gonna say was how cool that first clip was. It's like a horn section at the back of the stage, but instead of horns it's Jerry and Santana. Rest in peace, Jerome!

:)

Long-live Jerry 'Mon!!!

Mule sucks. Please stop mentioning them.

Forever Grateful

Forever Dead

WE all miss you very much but you live on with us all!

Hey bluntsnbisco, show some respect. OH WAIT A MINUTE..with Bisco in your name that is pretty much impossible. Put your hat on straight, pull your pants up, take your finger out of the Molly and listen to Jerry. He will set you free.

Now as for Jerry...

I miss you old freind. There will never be another like you, a player that can capture the imagination and lead you gently into chaos,catipulting you around crystaline mountains of fear and delight at the same time. In the words of Bob Dylan upon hearing of Jerry's death ..."there is no way to measure the loss."

I'm confused. Jerry's birthday was yesterday, August 1st.

it was yesterday a day late on this one jambase put down the bong

dark as the night you are still by my side, shine inside. RIP Jerry.

Editor note: We realize his birthday actually hit yesterday. The bong has been put away...Now let's get back to celebrating Jerry.

God I cant IMAGINE how things would be if jerry was still alive. fucking nuts man.

hey man, who ate all the keylime pie? (jerys ghost)

thank god for jerry

I was to young to ever see the fat man play! But after listening to his music and watching numerous bands and musicians relive his memory through his music I can see why people would say, "there's no show like a dead show" Even in heaven Jerry has changed my life and I'm sure other peoples as well, His memory will be lived on for many and many years to come and the name Jerry Garcia will never be forgoten. RIP Jerry, the memories will always live on!!!!

Happy birthday Spud.

Love Trey but even he says "Jerry invented this music".

bluntsandbisco you are such a douchebag. Is there one thread you comment on where people haven't given your stupid asinine comments less than 15 thumbsdowns? grow up retard! and stop trolling every comment section. PS - Discobiscuits sound about as good as my dog's farts!

Love and Respect Jerry!!! happy B-day brother!

I saw a truly spectacular show by Ratdog at mountain jam, if you listened to it, it would not convey the shear majesty and awe inspiring comradary and happiness and community that it brought on that one night that only the people there could imagine, and then it hit me that this must be only one tenth or one one hundreth of what a great show with the dead was like, and since i have finally understood what it was really all about. thank you jerry, i have never seen nor known you, but it is only a spirit like yours that lives on forever. Bisco ROCKS IT (that would be funny wouldnt it)

I cherish the memories of having seen Jerry many times over a long period of time. In addition to his magical guitar improvisation and songwriting, I continue to appreciate all of the traditional tunes he essentially brought to our collective attention- songs that we might never have discovered. I simply cannot imagine what would motivate someone to be a disrespectful little punk on this thread, but will tell you in no uncertain terms that if you had been there, you would not be the same person. The Dead had a transformative appeal. I am immensely proud that Jerry Garcia continues to influence me today.

"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow..., which nobody can deny." Happy Birthday, we all wish you were here, but look at all the magic you left behind. Thanks.

Words will never be able to explain The Force of Jerry. He is greatly missed, but will never be forgotten. Hope he's happy in that great gig in the sky.

I was one of the lucky who was at the party in Petaluma where the first video is from. Likely the best Jerry related event I ever attended. What a spiritual blast it was with Olatunji and his amazing band, Santana, The Vulcan, and Vega. Serious grooves all night. Brings big smiles back to me today. Seek out the tapes...they are out there.

Peace Jerry. You will always be loved.

long live jerry! check out REALM FESTIVAL in new castle, co to see bill kreutzman, shakedown st, great american taxi with vince herman, bill mckay band and much more 3 nights 85 bucks....join if u love jerry

happy birthday jerry i know you have not stop jamin cant wait to here the new stuff in a couple decades

The Tom Snyder interview is great. Go out on You Tube and look for more of it.

Love the Tangled Up in Blue.

"He don't got shit on Trey but he's worth remembering."

Glad to hear you chime in with the exact opposite of that Trey has said COUNTLESS times.

That is the problem in America today. Kids have no knowledge of history or how one person/event could have never come to being without predecessors. Things don’t happen in a vacuum.

You’ll figure it out one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Check back with us after you hit puberty.

Just busted out my 71' Fillmore East Cassette, I need to get these CD's.

I miss Jerry.

If you haven't read the relix interview on Jerry explaining his past lsd experiences and thoughts on the issue you should definately check it out, one of the best interviews I have read coming from jerry in a while. We all miss you and will always love you. GD forever

Happy B-Day Jerry, I was thinking about you during the Vibes. This man deserves the attention and respect of every member on this board, regardless of whether you are a Phish fan or even a Bisco fan. Jerry truly created this scene. Captain Trips was the visionary of the grateful dead. As well, Phil, Bob, Mickey, and Billy are all still doing their thing, producing amazing music for all of us. But without Jerry, would any of this be possible. The scene is thriving today, and we all owe that to Jerry. Everyone is referring to the ridiculous comment about Trey and Jerry from the bisco kid (see up above). If it wasn't for Jerry, Phish probably wouldn't even exist...at least in the same sense. Remember, they exploded after Jerry passed. The thing is while Phish becomes a thing of the past (i know, i know, they're getting back together...or whatever), the Dead lives on musically.

Taking into account that a knew neither Jerry nor Trey personally, I will post the comment that Trey doesn't have shit on Jerry, especially after he broke up his band for drugs. Jerry obviously cared more about his fans, band mates, and the scene in general. And for that, he lives on in all of our hearts.

Mr. Garcia. Thank you.

Last Friday August 1 I saw "A Symphonic Tribute to the Grateful Dead" performed by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The music was great, playing Sugar Magnolia and Ripple as well as many others. There was a great slide show on the backdrop with photos of band members. Also a fantastic art display featuring Jerrys work , Jerry Garcia postage stamps and a guitar signed by band members. This will probably be the only show of its KIND!!!!!!!

If you don't understand the Jerry effect....you really don't understand our culture. It wasn't only about the music, though indeed, that was a huge part of GD lives. Back in the day, and even now, just thinking about Jerry and his sweet notes of bliss, could induce a sense of calm during even the hardest of days. I can remember hard stressful days at work in '87 and "Touch of Gray" would play on the radio and my smile would be a mile wide. Just looking at my posters of him can bring me back to the most awesome state of exhileration that was a Grateful Dead show. if you don't know....I feel sorry for you.

Now, to Bluntsforbisco...you are one sorry, need to get a life dude. your negativity gives you away as a present day wannbe, and shows anymore are full of them. I'm not going to be negative and put down the Biscuits (though I do not enjoy their music, I do enjoy the New Deal and some other electronic bands), I must personally thank the Disco Biscuits for soaking up all the bad kind of Phish kids...you know, the pharmied-out, spunions that made you nervous on the Phish lot. Thanks for removing them from our scene. Have you ever been to a Biscuits headling show? Yeeeesh!

thanks for the oportunity to voice my opinion......peace

FUTHEPHARMER: thank you...i couldn't have said it better myself :)
