Jerry Garcia Instagram - On this day in 1977, the @gratefuldead released their ninth studio album, Terrapin Station. While many believe the turtles on the album cover, designed by @mousestudios and Alton Kelley, were inspired by the lyrics to the classic Garcia-Hunter song, archival research reveals a different story. The turtles were actually borrowed from the sketchbook of Heinrich Kley, a German newspaper cartoonist who lived from 1863 to 1945. These are Kley’s original turtles before they would become another one of The Dead’s beloved logos. Happy Birthday, Terrapin Station!

Jerry Garcia Instagram - Celebrating what would have been Jerry Garcia’s 82nd birthday today🌹Jerry was born in San Francisco’s Mission District in 1942. Inspired by his musical family, he explored jazz, country, folk, and blues before discovering rock and roll. At sixteen, he swapped an accordion for an electric guitar, setting him on a path through the Bay Area music scene. A job at Dana Morgan’s Music Store led to meeting Bobby Weir, and the rest is history⚡️Which Jerry tune will you revisit today in celebration of his birthday?
Jerry Garcia Instagram - On what would have been Janis’ 81st birthday…🐦‍⬛

“Laugh in the sunshine,
Sing, cry in the dark
Fly through the night…” 

“Written in memory of Janis Joplin, ‘Bird Song’ shows how, even when dealing with the most potent material (here, the death of a good friend at age 27), Garcia and Hunter could be deeply consoling without ever lapsing into the maudlin or sentimental.” -@rollingstone

Jerry Garcia Instagram - “This thing has got to be dosed!” 🎂 To celebrate Garcia’s 82nd birthday, we’re looking back on one of his most infamous stories involving a very special birthday cake.
Jerry Garcia Instagram - A Christmas memory shared by @melvinseals with Paste Magazine in 2012:

Every Christmas, Seals and the other musicians would go to Garcia’s house for a small gathering. Seals recalls one particular Christmas gathering, “One year I went up there and just kinda sat in Jerry’s chair. He had a big designer cushioned chair. I just sat there all night. I didn’t get up and play the piano or anything. I just sat there until I left.” Garcia said to Seals, “Man you sure do look comfortable,” and Seals replied, “Man, this is a great chair.” According to Seals, that’s all he ever said, “and two days later, that chair was delivered to my house. I didn’t ask for it or see that coming. I just said that I enjoyed sitting in it in his house and he had it delivered to me.”

Jerry Garcia Instagram - “As the shadows lengthened, Allen Ginsberg's voice came over the sound system, asking everyone to run towards the sun and watch the sunset. Later, he asked everyone to help clean up the debris and they did. And so it ended, the first of the great gatherings… This is truly something new and not the least of it is that it is an asking for a new dimension to peace, for the reality of love and a great nest for all humans." - Ralph Gleason, San Francisco Chronicle

The Human Be-In was held in Golden Gate Park on this day in 1967.

Jerry played at the club with the Grateful Dead, the New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Merl Saunders, and Old & In The Way.

While many believe the turtles on the album cover, designed by @mousestudios and Alton Kelley, were inspired by the lyrics to the classic Garcia-Hunter song, archival research reveals a different story. The turtles were actually borrowed from the sketchbook of Heinrich Kley, a German newspaper cartoonist who lived from 1863 to 1945. These are Kley’s original turtles before they would become another one of The Dead’s beloved logos. Happy Birthday, Terrapin Station!

Caption : On this day in 1977, the @gratefuldead released their ninth studio album, Terrapin Station. While many believe the turtles on the album cover, designed by @mousestudios and Alton Kelley, were inspired by the lyrics to the classic Garcia-Hunter song, archival research reveals a different story. The turtles were actually borrowed from the sketchbook of Heinrich Kley, a German newspaper cartoonist who lived from 1863 to 1945. These are Kley’s original turtles before they would become another one of The Dead’s beloved logos. Happy Birthday, Terrapin Station!

Inspired by his musical family, he explored jazz, country, folk, and blues before discovering rock and roll. At sixteen, he swapped an accordion for an electric guitar, setting him on a path through the Bay Area music scene.

“Laugh in the sunshine,
Sing, cry in the dark
Fly through the night…” 

“Written in memory of Janis Joplin, ‘Bird Song’ shows how, even when dealing with the most potent material (here, the death of a good friend at age 27), Garcia and Hunter could be deeply consoling without ever lapsing into the maudlin or sentimental.” -@rollingstone

Jerry Garcia - 7.7K Likes - A Christmas memory shared by @melvinseals with Paste Magazine in 2012:

Every Christmas, Seals and the other musicians would go to Garcia’s house for a small gathering. Seals recalls one particular Christmas gathering, “One year I went up there and just kinda sat in Jerry’s chair. He had a big designer cushioned chair. I just sat there all night. I didn’t get up and play the piano or anything. I just sat there until I left.” Garcia said to Seals, “Man you sure do look comfortable,” and Seals replied, “Man, this is a great chair.” According to Seals, that’s all he ever said, “and two days later, that chair was delivered to my house. I didn’t ask for it or see that coming. I just said that I enjoyed sitting in it in his house and he had it delivered to me.”

Jerry Garcia - 2.5K Likes - After years of fighting for his health, we have lost dear precious John Cutler! Fly free, John. You will be missed!

He was careful, meticulous and so sweet! We were very fortunate to have his wisdom.

John’s care and fervent protection of Jerry's music will forever be appreciated. 

Sending love to his adoring wife Annie who knew him best, thank you for being by his side. What a kind soul he was!

With love and deepest regards,
-Annabelle, Sunshine, Carolyn and Trixie

Later, he asked everyone to help clean up the debris and they did. And so it ended, the first of the great gatherings… This is truly something new and not the least of it is that it is an asking for a new dimension to peace, for the reality of love and a great nest for all humans." - Ralph Gleason, San Francisco Chronicle

Jerry Garcia - 1.7K Likes - Before Jerry was a regular there, it was a hardware store. The Lion's Share opened in the old "Highland Hardware" in San Anselmo in 1969 after the original spot in Sausalito burned down. Jerry played at the club with the Grateful Dead, the New Riders Of The Purple Sage, Merl Saunders, and Old & In The Way. 

Now, in addition to hosting Randy Newman's first show and, perhaps more famously, Janis Joplin's wake, the venue can also be known for the "Save Mother Earth" from January 19th, 1972 as featured on Heads & Tails: Volume 1. Swipe to the end to see what the building looks like today.

Jerry Garcia - 1.7K Likes - "That fall, when the Garcia Band undertook a run of appearances in Northern California, including several university dates, it was a time, as the album’s title suggested, of reflection; not looking back, but more a mirror image of where Garcia was at in the moment. Sharing an obvious kinship with Keith Godchaux (keyboards) and his wife, Donna Jean (vocals), who doubled in those roles with the Dead, as well as a growing bond with bassist John Kahn and drummer Ron Tutt, Garcia’s singing and playing sparkle with unconcerned liberation." – Larson Sutton, @relixmag

Highlights from the Jerry Garcia Band’s performance at Humboldt State University’s East Gym in Arcata, California, 47 years ago today were included on GarciaLive: Volume 17 - NorCal ‘76. Link to listen in profile.
