388 albums, 113 singles, 146 movies/TV shows/videos/ads, 104 books, and 22 song
books where the band or members of the band appear. If you should know of any
more, please let me know and I will post an updated list later. Thanks! :-)
Ihor Slabicky - Saint Valentine's Day, 1993
27 june 2001 1848
Jerry Garcia, in an 1981 interview with Geraldo Rivera, said:
"Our audience is like people who like licorice. Not everybody likes
licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice."
Albums
------
Do You Wanna Dance? - Bobby Freeman (Jubilee 1086) A guitarist named Jerry
Garcia plays on this album, released in 1958. Re-released in October 22, 1991
on CD as Collectables COL-5417.
Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions - Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions
(Grateful Dead GDCD 4064) The pre-Warlocks jug band recorded live in July,
1964 at the Top Of The Tangent in Palo Alto, CA. The band includes Jerry
Garcia, Bob Weir, and Pigpen. Released on CD in March, 1999. For detailed
info, check: http://www.geckographics.com/GeckoGraphics/mccrees.html
The Emergency Crew - The Emergency Crew (Autumn ) The Warlocks recorded this
on November 3, 1965 as a demo record at Golden State Studios in San Francisco
for DJs Tom Donahue's and Bobby Mitchell's Autumn label. Mother's was a club
run by the two DJ's. It includes: "Can't Come Down" (Jerry Garcia on
vocals); "The Mindbender" (also known as "Confusion's Prince") (Phil Lesh on
vocals); "The Only Time Is Now" (Phil Lesh on vocals); "Caution (Do Not Stop
On Tracks)" (Pigpen on harmonica and vocals); "I Know You Rider" (Jerry Garcia
on vocals); and Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain" (Phil Lesh on vocals).
The Acid Test: A Sound City Production - Ken Kesey and others ( ) From the
front cover: "Shortly before he disappeared into limbo, or even Mexico
Novelist Ken Kesey and his "trips" buddies recorded an album at Sound City
Recorders on Sixth ST. What makes this an item possible, is that Ken et al
were high on LSD at the time, and kept getting higher as the recording
progressed. The album is titled "the Acid Test" -Kesey's idea-and will be
priced at $5.95. In fact, the only thing ordinary about this record is that
the wole's in the middle..." (Herb Caen). The recording was made at the San
Francisco State College "Acid Test" of October 1 to 2, 1966. It includes the
Grateful Dead playing in background as Ken Kesey and other talk about various
things. The tracks are: (side one) Ken Kesey interviewed by Frank Frey; Ken
Babbs and Harmonica; Take Two - Ken Kesey; Bull; Peggy The Pistol; (side two)
One Way Ticket (a classic!); Bells & Fairies; Levitation; Trip "X"; The End.
Printed on the label is: "The Acid Test - a sound city production - as
photographed and shown in "Look" magazine - Recorded from 14 hours of the
actual Trip." On the cover is a small photo of Jerry Garcia, playing guitar
in studio, while Ken Kesey is on the microphone. The album had only a black
and white cover pasted on the front, and no back cover.
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test - var. (United Fan Club Society, Goteborg,
Sweden, Stellar Music Special, Series 1, Show 1, SMS001-1) A record (in all
likelihood a bootleg) from the San Francisco State College "Acid Test" of
October 1 and 2, 1966. It is mostly Ken Babbs (?) talking in the college
radio station's studio, interspersed with a few seconds of what could be
Garcia on guitar, as well as parts of the Garcia, Kesey, et al interviews on
NBC's "Tomorrow" show of May 7, 1981. Released in March, 1988.
The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. W 1689) Their first LP. This
was released in mono. The original releases are on the gold Warner Brothers
label. Released on March 17, 1967. The cryptic lettering above the words
"Grateful Dead" reads: "In the land of the dark, the ship of the sun is driven
by the Grateful Dead". Most of the tracks were recorded in a span of five days
(Monday night through Friday night, mixed on Saturday afternoon) at RCA
Studio A in Hollywood, CA, and produced by Dave Hassinger, a Warner Brothers
staff production engineer. "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" was
recorded later at Coast Recorders, at 960 Bush Street in San Francisco. This
tune had about 60 takes; the album version includes an overdub of Bill
Kreutzmann drumming on the strings of Garcia's guitar while Garcia is
fingering the chords. "The Golden Road" was the working title for this album,
but was changed. The founders of the Grateful Dead's Fan Club, "The Golden
Road To Unlimited Devotion", were Sue Swanson, Connie Furtado, and Bob
Matthews. Matthews later engineered and produced a number of the band's live
and studio releases. The Fan Club sold posters, buttons, and Pigpen t-shirts
for $2.50. "Alice D. Millionaire" (about Augustus Stanley Owsley) and
"Tastebud", a blues number featuring Pigpen on vocals, were probably recorded
for the album but were not released. "McGannahan Skjellyfetti" was the
pseudonym used by the band as the author's name for the group compositions
("The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" and "Cream Puff War"). "McGannahan
Skjellyfetti" was based on a character, "Skujellifeddy McGranehan", the
protagonist's 'literary agent', in Kenneth Patchen's "Memoirs Of A Shy
Pornographer", published in 1945: "May I call you Skujellifeddy? Mr.
McGranehan's sort of awkward." According to Garcia, "Good Morning, Little
Schoolgirl" came from the public domain. "Cold Rain And Snow" comes from a
fragment that Garcia learned from banjo player Obray Ramsey. "Viola Lee
Blues" is adapted from the Noah Lewis version; the Jim Kweskin Jug Band had
released a version that is closer to the Noah Lewis version. "Viola Lee
Blues" is an "11 1/2 bar blues" in that the Dead's version, throughout, adds
or removes bars from the "standard" 12 bar blues form.
The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1689) Their first LP.
This was also released in stereo. The original releases are on the gold
Warner Brothers label. Released on March 17, 1967.
The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Edsel ED 221 (Edsel Records, Division of
Demon Records, Brentford, Middlesex, UK)) A 1990 British release of the first
record. On the front cover, the Warner Brothers catalog number has been
replaced by the Edsel catalog number. The back cover artwork is slightly
larger than on the original US release, the photos are poorly reproduced, and
instead of the Fan Club info, it contains record company info.

1987.
The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Rhino) This remastered version of the
album, taken from the 12 CD box set, was released on CD in October, 2002.
Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane (RCA LSP-3766) Jerry Garcia is listed
on the back cover as "musical and spiritual director" and plays high electric
lead on "Today" (recorded November 2, 1966), and flat top acoustic guitar on
"Plastic Fantastic Lover", "My Best Friend", and "Comin' Back To Me". Garcia
also rearranged "Somebody To Love". Garcia may have played the rhythm "chocks"
on "3/5ths Of A Mile". Most of the recording sessions for this album took
place in November, 1966.
Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1749) The original mix is
out of print. Released on July 18, 1968. Some of the early pressings of the
album include the phrase 'the faster we go, the rounder we get' pressed in the
vinyl around the center. The basic music ("Alligator", "A Cryptical
Envelopment", "The Other One") for the album was taken from the Dead's
performance on St. Valentine's Day, 1968, at the Carousel Ballroom, in San
Francisco. Phil Lesh plays the eight bar trumpet solo (based on Miles Davis'
"Sketches Of Spain") during the "...from time to time..." chorus on "Born
Cross-Eyed". "Alligator" was written by Robert Hunter while he was working as
a portrait artist in New Mexico, in February, 1966. Over the years, the album
been released many times, and the cover colors can range from a deep
purplish-blue to a deep bluish purple. The songs are: "That's It For The
Other One" (7:41) (includes "Cryptical Envelopment", "Quadlibet For Tender
Feet", "The Faster We Go, The Rounder We Get", "We Leave The Castle"), "New
Potato Caboose" (8:25), "Born Cross-Eyed" (2:06); "Alligator" (11:20),

Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Purple Fridge Communications,
http://www.classicalbums.com) a CD-ROM version of the "Anthem Of The Sun"
album, including multi-tracks of the first sixteen minutes of the album,
allowing the user to remix the album. Planned for release in March, 2000,
but still not released as of June 27, 2001.
Aoxomoxoa - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1790) The original mix is out of
print. Released on June 20, 1969, and possibly as early as May, 1969. Peter
Grant plays pedal steel on "Doin' That Rag". "The Eleven" was recorded for
the album, to be linked with "St. Stephen", but was not included. "Barbed
Wire Whipping Party", by Robert Hunter, is one of the outtakes from the
sessions for this album. Other studio outtakes from these September, 1968 to
early 1969 sessions include "St. Stephen" with a cello and "The Eleven" with
bagpipes. The lyrics to "St. Stephen" and "China Cat Sunflower" were written
by Robert Hunter when he was in New Mexico in February, 1966, working as a
portrait artist. Hunter had been working on "St. Stephen" before going to New
Mexico. The word AOXOMOXOA is a palindrome thought up by artist Rick
Griffin. One of the working titles for the album was "Earthquake Country".
This was also the first recording ever made using sixteen-track tape, an Ampex
deck at Alembic studios. According to Robert Hunter, "Cosmic Charlie" is not
based on Charles "Cosmic Charlie" Bosch, one of the characters on the scene in
the Haight, who was 'so cosmic'. "Calico" is supposedly based on one of the
Hog Farmers. The characters and themes in "St. Stephen" do not appear to be
based on any real person of the Sixties; they may all come from Hunter's deep
appreciation of English poetry and imagery.
The Anniversary Album (Warner Bros. PRO 289) ???
The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show (Warner Bros. PRO 336) This two record
sampler of Warner Brothers artists was advertised on the inner sleeve of

Live/Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. 2WS 1830) Released on November 10,
1969. The original release had a four page song book enclosed with the
album. "Dark Star" and "St. Stephen" are from February 27, 1969 at the
Fillmore West; "The Eleven" and "Turn On Your Lovelight" are from January 26,
1969 at the Avalon; "Death Don't Have No Mercy", "Feedback", and "We Bid You
Goodnight" are from March 2, 1969 at the Fillmore West. According to Bear,
the tapes were recorded "on a sixteen track Ampex MM-1000 2-inch professional
recorder, with a split of the on stage mics going directly into the preamps of
the tape machine, not through any mixing desk. This was my idea to reduce the
amount of amplifiers the signal went through before being placed on tape. We
had special preamps made for the machine to allow enough gain. This was
arranged by Ron Wickersham who had worked for the professional audio recorder
division of Ampex before becoming involved with the band in mid '68." The
"Eight sided whispering..." vocals are the last eight lines from the original
version of Hunter's "China Cat Sunflower". Mickey Hart plays guiro, scrapers,
and gongs, among other percussion instruments, on "Dark Star". According to
Bob Matthews, "Dark Star" is one take from the Avalon Ballroom; the album was
recorded and mixed to simulate the sound presence of the Avalon Ballroom.
Live/Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WB 7599-27181-1) A two record album
released in Germany. The words "The Grateful Dead" have been added to the
left side of the front cover.
Live/Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. P-5014/5W) A Japanese pressing. The
front cover has some Japanese writing along the inside right bottom edge. The
four page song book is replaced by a four page lyric sheet: page 1 contains
the song listing with a photo; page 2 contains the lyrics in Japanese; pages
3 and 4 contain the lyrics in English (including full lyrics to "Turn On Your
Lovelight". The lyrics suffer through a translation (e.g. "St. Stephen"):
"High green surely winds and windy
Wings and loops around the twining
Shots of lavender are crawling
(more)
To the sun
Wonder who will water
All the children's of the garden
When they're sad
About the barren lack of rain
And troops beneath the sky
Underfoot the ground is patched
With climbing arms
Of ivy wrapped around
The mexanni of sharp and
Shiney in the breeze
William Tell has attacked his boat
Bit it was back by burning moat
And Lord it was a crying shame
That nothing could before"
The Big Ball (Warner Bros. PRO-358) This 1970 two-record Warner Brothers
sampler has an edited (6:30) version of "Turn On Your Lovelight" from the

Workingman's Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WB 1869) Released on June 14,
1970. Robert Hunter appears in the drawing on the front cover of this album.
The back cover is upside down on the original releases. Stanley Mouse took
the cover photograph and did all the graphics, including the charcoal sketches
for the back cover. In the back cover sketch, take a close look at Garcia's
right hand. The front cover photograph was taken near the rendering plants by
Barney's Beanery in San Francisco on a very hot, almost 100 degree, day. The
album was recorded and mixed in a nine day period. "Mason's Children" was
recorded for this album but never released. "Uncle John's Band" contains a
fragment of a Bulgarian tune, music to which Garcia was listening at the
time. The "...please, don't murder me..." lines in "Dire Wolf" were inspired
by the "Zodiac Killer", who murdered over a score of people in San Francisco
between 1968 and 1978. The songs used for the album were rehearsed in one to
two days, the songs were then re-arranged to have a beginning of Side 1, end
of Side 1, a beginning of Side 2, and a finale, and the album was recorded in
early February, 1970. "Truckin'" was recorded at Wally Heider Studio C. The

"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" (4:50), "Dancing In The Street" (7:55); "In The
Midnight Hour" (18:23). The poster, used for the cover of this album, came
from the Dead's concert at the Avalon on September 16 and 17, 1966. The
"skull and roses" image used for the poster was originally a black and white
illustration by Edmund Sullivan which appeared in a 19th century edition of
"The Rubiyat Of Omar Khayyam". Anton Kelly and Stanley Mouse adapted it for
the poster, adding colors and lettering.
American Beauty - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1893) Early releases of
this record had a "Grateful Dead" sticker on the shrink-wrap. Released in
November, 1970. Parts of "Friend Of The Devil" were written at Rock Scully's
house in Kentfield, CA: Robert Hunter brought over the beginning words and
John "Marmaduke" Dawson provided the "set out running but I take my time, a
friend of the Devil is a friend of mine" line. "Truckin'" was started by
Robert Hunter in San Francisco, and finished while touring with the Dead in
Florida. The death of Garcia's mother was the inspiration for "Brokedown
Palace". "Box Of Rain" was written for Phil Lesh's father, who was dying.
The "...ripples in still waters..." refrain in "Ripple" is a 17 syllable
haiku; the song was written in England. David Grisman plays mandolin on
"Ripple" and "Friend Of The Devil". This is the first album with Ned
Lagin. Also recording at Wally Heider's (located at Hyde and Turk) at this
time were the Jefferson Airplane and David Crosby, recording his first solo
album. The title of the album can be read off the front cover artwork, by
some use of imagination, as "American Reality". "To Lay Me Down" was
rehearsed and recorded, but was not included on the album. Frankie Weir is
the subject of "Sugar Magnolia". Jerry Garcia plays pedal steel guitar on
"Sugar Magnolia". The vocals on "Attics Of My Life" are double-tracked.

Saunders on organ. The onstage equipment setup was duplicated in the studio,
to preserve the ambience, and used for the overdubs. A number of recording
defects are present on the album. During the third chorus of "Ramble On Rose",
as Garcia sings "...name was Ramble...", a whistling sound is heard. On "Jack
Straw", one of the band members yells out. (Note: the 'original' Jack Straw,
along with Wat Tyler, led a peasant rebellion, which failed, against the
English King Richard II (circa 1381). The term "Jack Straw" has, consequently,
been used to describe a person who has no property, influence, or worth.)
Several of the songs on this album ("He's Gone", "Jack Straw", "Brown Eyed
Women", "Ramble On Rose", "Mr. Charlie", "Tennessee Jed", etc.) had been
intended for a third studio album which was to be a follow-on of the sentiments

Bobby & The Midnites - Bob Weir (Arista AL 9568) A pre-Grateful Dead Brent
Mydland appears on this October 21, 1981 release. Some albums also released
as ALB6-8367 and AL5-8148 and as 8558. The cover features a black cat.
"Midnite the Cat" was on a TV show called "Andy's Gang", which Weir had watched
as a small child. Weir sketched the cat, and Victor Moscoso made the drawing
on the album cover. "Haze" (5:08) was written, more or less, as a eulogy for
Weir's friend Bruce Baxter. "Too Many Losers" (3:50) had several working
titles, including "F*ckin' With Fire" and "Stokin' With Fire", but Weir was
told by Clive Davis, of Arista Records, to tone down the title. It was written
for a couple of Weir's friends. "Far Away" (3:34) was developed over a
Matthew Kelly riff, played around with by Weir and Bobby Cochran. "Book Of
Rules" (3:31) was previously recorded by The Heptones, and that version appears
to be based on a poem "A Bag Of Tools" by R. L. Sharp. The lyrics to "Me
Without You" (3:12) were originally written by Alphonso Johnson, then rewritten
by Bob Weir, and finally by Barlow. As originally written by Bob Weir,
"Josephine" (6:11) has more verses than were recorded. "(I Want To) Fly Away"
(3:55) was written with Bob Marley in mind. "Carry Me" (4:27) is a simple love
letter. "Festival" (4:59) was written over a span of several years.

originally planned as a 15 CD boxed set (three CDs per jewel case per show) of

that many songs were unusable. When the Dead were making "Skull And Roses",
songs from this series of shows were considered for that album. These songs
were physically removed from the master reels and placed on individual tape
reels. The individual reels were then used for overdubs, etc. This resulted
in several songs being partially overdubbed and not completed (i.e. the vocals
may have been erased and not re-dubbed, etc. Additionally, several songs that
appear on "Skull And Roses" ("Wharf Rat" from April 28, 1971, "The Other One"
from April 28, 1971, and others) could not be used for this album. Of the 128
songs that were available, 41 appear on this album. From April 25, 1971:
"Next Time You See Me", "Beat It On Down The Line", "Second That Emotion",
"Good Loving", "Sugar Magnolia", "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider",
and "Sing Me Back Home". No songs are from April 26, 1971. From April 27,
1971: "Casey Jones", "Uncle John's Band", "Turn On Your Lovelight". From
April 28, 1971: "Me And My Uncle", "Cumberland Blues", "Me And Bobby McGee",
"Bird Song", "I'm A King Bee", "Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)", "Loser", "El Paso",
"Dark Star" > "St. Stephen" > "Not Fade Away" > "Going Down The Road Feeling
Bad" > "Not Fade Away", and "Wharf Rat". From April 29, 1971: "Trucking",

In the history of recorded sound, many formats have been used: wax cylinders,
78 rpm records, 45 rpm records (in mono and stereo), 33 1/3 rpm records (in
mono, stereo, CD-4, QS, and SQ), reel-to-reel tape (in stereo and four track),
eight track tape, cassette, CD, DAT, DCC, MD, and DVD among them. Some never
have become popular, some have disappeared from popular usage, and some are
still with us. Many of the earliest recordings listed here were originally
released on the 33 1/3 revolutions per minute long playing record format, and
I have used that to list the catalog numbers in this discography. Where there
are differences, I have included other formats. In particular, this applies
to CDs, which often include new or additional material not available on the
records, and to cassettes, which sometimes are the only other format, besides
CD, being presently used to release material. In many cases, material is only
being released on CDs. I have tried to be thorough, but ...
... well that's about it! Send all corrections, additions, updates, etc. to:
