Grateful Dead Family Jubilee Auction
By Scott Bernstein Mar 5, 2015 • 11:00 am PST
Included among the items up for auction are the kitchen table that members of the Grateful Dead once gathered around to drink coffee and consider the day, the desk from the band room at 5th and Lincoln, Jerry Garcia’s last reading material, the original oil paintings on which Rick Griffin based the 1990 tour poster, Stanley “Mouse” Miller’s original “Golden Road” fan club poster and the original lyrics, in Robert Hunter’s handwriting, of “He’s Gone.”
Other items in the auction include Jerry Garcia’s personal William Morris chair (decorated with a Rolling Stone portrait of him), never-before-seen photographs from the three 1978 shows in Egypt, more rare and remarkable Rick Griffin and “Mouse” Miller artwork as well as the “Soto List,” the historical seed that led to the legendary Deadbase books. We’re also particularly intrigued by Mickey Hart’s handwritten “Fire On The Mountain” lyrics with a setlist on the back thought to be penned by Jerry Garcia.
Donley Auction Services in Union, Illinois, will conduct a juried online-only (although there will be a few invited guests) auction of these items and more. Additional details can be found at GratefulDead.Auction.
