In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, founding member [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bill Kreutzmann[/lastfm] explained…
Bill says [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]The Grateful Dead[/lastfm] seemed to have one foot in the grave as a band even before the passing of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Jerry Garcia[/lastfm] in 1995.
The drummer said, “I think that Jerry had gotten kind of bored with the Grateful Dead, and it was sort of like a marriage that had maybe gone on too long. I’m pretty sure Jerry would have stopped playing in the Grateful Dead. He was a true artist and I can tell you he wasn’t really happy playing in the Grateful Dead at the end. I hate to say that.”
Here’s a treat: vintage live footage of The Grateful Dead with Jerry performing “TRUCKIN’”. ~JZ.
