>>>>>I suggested this to him when a friend took me up to Jerry's hotel room after a show at the Tower Theater in December of '83. He said he had been thinking about it.
While my Guitar Gently Weeps...after seeing Prince just crush the solo at the end years ago at RRHOF, i always thought it woulda been cool to see what Jerry couldve done w it....
I always thought if he could have heard it, he would have considered Dylan's "Things Have Changed" off the Wonder Boys soundtrack. That song would have been perfect for both the lyrics and jams for his band.
I don't know if this is true, but I heard he was working on this song in the summer of '95 and that maybe even the Grateful Dead had sound-checked it, it would have been a great tune for either band, at the end of the song he could have just gone on and on with the lyrics "like I believe, believe, like I believe..."
The "like tryin' to tell a stranger 'bout rock 'n roll" lyric would've been pretty epic
I swear once Hornsby was teasin "the boxer" , simon and garfunkle, comin out of space at a show at msg ....cpl of my friends and I all all heard it...jerry , bobby, and bruce were all looking at each other, we thought for sure they were gonna play it....to no avail , obviously....but, i thought it woulda been fun w whole band, start acoustic, bruce on squeezebox etc...then rock it out...drummers woulda loved it im sure....
I keep saying "at the Warfield"...but at the Warfield the place would just go absolutely ecstatic, pure bliss if he had busted this out deep in the 2nd set
Accordin to dead base (yellow cover) jerry not on stage for that, but, still interesting performance--more of A Baez cover than a GD, but again, thanks for link
I've thought of this particular song as a Jerry Garcia Band song for years because of the lyrics pertaining to a lack of need for just about anything, and the potential for building a musical crescendo, late 2nd set Warfield would have been a sublime moment of consciousness
I always wanted to hear the later day Jerry band play Shower the People by James Taylor but the fans would have probably took it literally and gave it the Day Job treatment.
but minus Phil Lesh, which really puzzled me at the time. I was hoping for a monster jam out of this and shouldn't have been surprised that it didn't happen. That whole show was a letdown, although the after party was a hoot.
This would compliment the styles of John, Melvin, Gloria & Jackie...encore song of a particularly beautiful evening, Melvin and Jerry could really stretch out the jam at the end, an American classic.
When You Wish Upon A Star - sung by Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards)
Cracker covered "Loser" on the same album, as I'm sure you're aware, L Monkey. To their credit, while Cracker's cover appeared around the same time as the album Deadicated, this was before every band and radio show went GD-crazy.
In my little college town, I listened to our public radio station for about 18 years, during which time I could count on one hand the number of GD/Jerry songs I heard on the station.
The only instances I can actually think of occurred during David Dye's nationally syndicated show World Cafe: album versions of "Reuben and Cherise" and "Sugaree."
Now, I hear GD/Jerry on our public radio station all the time. Certain shows almost always include GD or a GD cover.
Birthday wishes to Jerry. A Fourth of July GD special, etc. I explained to my girlfriend, whose intro to the GD occurred at Phil's B-day run last year, that radio and other bands weren't always so wild for the GD.
To contribute to the actual thread topic, I think Richard and Linda Thompson's "Shady Lies" would have fit well w/ JGB:
note: The Brothers Gibb performed this originally, but the Al Green version alludes to the potential of the Jerry Garcia Band, Melvin would play this keyboard solo so intensely they'd need to budget for a structural engineer's report the next day.
>>>> Cracker covered "Loser" on the same album, as I'm sure you're aware, L Monkey. To their credit, while Cracker's cover ....
David Lowery has written that Jerry had asked him if he'd mind if he covered Euro-Trash Girl. He didn't specify GD or JGB. Either would have been interesting. This must have been during the Eugene shows Cracker opened for them. He said the first time he ran into Garcia backstage, Jerry had just come out of a port-a-potty and shook his hand.
note: Jerry may have played this with Merl back in the day, and yes, the Grateful Dead played this tune, but if JGB had jammed this out on Market Street, SF it would have been ecstatic!!!!!

I've gotta self-correct just a little.
Some of the Jerry bluegrass stuff got played on WKMS's "Music from the Front Porch."
I may be incorrect about this, which would in and of itself be amusing...but at the time of the "What I Know" tune, somehow I either misunderstood the story, or it was a prank of sorts, but I thought Jerry really played that solo and they just never publicized it. If that's not the case, it's funny I believed it to be true all these years.
Respectfully, I don't think Jerry would have sang that one...but if the Jerry Garcia Band busted this out at the Warfield, it would have been a seismic event!
Bob Marley and The Wailers - Trenchtown Rock (LIVE!)
^ as an aside...George's video is 4 minutes 23 seconds long, there are probably many of us that take a moment when they see those numerals on a digital clock, or a loaf of bread and think of 4:23 am pst on August 9th, 1995.
I still have the pair of hemp fatigues that split at the knee at the very moment I heard the news and prayed for Jerry.
^ The March 1st 1:39 am post would have been epic with Melvin blowing the roof off the Warfield Theatre...Gloria & Jackie singing the high notes, late second set
The fun part about being on Jerry Garcia Band Tour was realizing most people hadn't even thought about being on Jerry Garcia Band Tour...which made for interesting energy when looking around and understanding there were about 250 of us.
Dire Straits ~ Tunnel of Love, or Once Upon a Time in the West
Bob Dylan ~ If you See Her, Say Hello
Grateful Dead ~ When Push Comes To Shove (I know this one never found it's stuff, really, in GD renditions...but come at it from a JGB sensibility, I think it woulda worked)

Time Will Tell-Bob Marley & The Wailers
The last song on the "Kaya" album, the lead guitar player uses an envelope filter effect similar to Jerry's tone.

Herbal Dave,
Herbal Dave,
Respectfully, I don't think Jerry would have sang that one...but if the Jerry Garcia Band busted this out at the Warfield, it would have been a seismic event!

^ as an aside...George's video is 4 minutes 23 seconds long, there are probably many of us that take a moment when they see those numerals on a digital clock, or a loaf of bread and think of 4:23 am pst on August 9th, 1995.
I still have the pair of hemp fatigues that split at the knee at the very moment I heard the news and prayed for Jerry.

Always thought the GD should have done this song

The fun part about being on Jerry Garcia Band Tour was realizing most people hadn't even thought about being on Jerry Garcia Band Tour...which made for interesting energy when looking around and understanding there were about 250 of us.
