See, there's only two theaters, man that are set up pretty groovy all around for music and for smooth stage changes, good lighting and all that - the Fillmore and The Capitol Theatre. And those are the only two in the whole country.

More quotes by Jerry Garcia
This virtual reality stuff is the technological equivalent, really, of psychedelics.
Jerry Garcia
I'm shopping around for something to do that no one will like.
Jerry Garcia
What we need is something, a definition of a human, starting from the ground up, so that the suitable moral structure that goes around it makes sense. The context has to come from the human first, rather than bits and pieces of fragments of old religion and all of the old moral superstructure, whatever it used to be.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
Jerry Garcia
We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.
Jerry Garcia
The world has to tell us. In other words, we don't have an agenda or a battle plan or a map or a direction or anything. We're just going along, and our world is telling us.
Jerry Garcia
Listening. That's what music is about. You hear it. And I'd listen to it and something would move me one way or another and I would try and play it.
Jerry Garcia
I think that America is in danger of losing its adventurous spirit in the cause of some kind of illusion of safety, or substitute of law and order there.
Jerry Garcia
Sometimes you have to be clever.
Jerry Garcia
What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
Jerry Garcia
Whistle through your teeth and spit cuz, it's Alright
Jerry Garcia
We didn't invent the Grateful Dead, the crowd invented the Grateful Dead. We were just in line to see what was going to happen.
Jerry Garcia
I am not a keyboard person. The mouse is better.
Jerry Garcia
Stuff that's hidden and murky and ambiguous is scary because you don't know what it does.
Jerry Garcia
We were very fortunate to have a a little time in history when LSD was still legal and were able to experiment with drugs just like we were doing with music.
Jerry Garcia
I like all the kinds of music I've been into. I'm certainly not a purist in that I will only play country licks in a country song or blues licks in blues stuff. The thing I would like to be able to do is to make the music sound right no matter what it is. If somebody else wants to have a label for it, then that's their business.
Jerry Garcia
It's a joke. Greed and the desire to take drugs are two separate things. If you want to separate the two, the thing you do is make drugs legal. Accept the reality that people do want to change their consciousness, and make an effort to make safer, healthier drugs.
Jerry Garcia
It's odd that there is a high level of appreciation of nature. There is the aesthetic side that really loves nature and beauty.
Jerry Garcia
You have to be ready, and also you have to discard notions that are fondly held by a lot of musicians, about sequences and notes and about scales and musical systems as a whole. If you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
Jerry Garcia
If something doesn't work, it becomes obvious immediately. This just isn't going to work.
Jerry Garcia
