  • Jerry Garcia solo in studio. Working on some tunes for the album "workingman's dead" in 1970. Very stripped down, informal sound. Almost like he was playing for you in your living room.
    Note: This demo is audio that did not have any accompanying video. I edited snippet of Jerry playing "cold jordan" of roughly the same period and inserted some still photos to make the video portion.

    "You told me goodbye. How was I to know? You didn't mean goodye. You meant please, don't let me go." Some of the most powerful lyrics written... I always well up with tears at that when I'm really into this song. Love it.

    I was going to ask if this was from festival express but I read further and saw it was.
    If anybody reading this hasn't seen that movie and likes any kind of music that's ever been made I highly recommend seeking this film out and watching it over and over. That's all I'll say I don't want to give any more away.

    He's just trying to figure it out for the album. The chord changes are a little different. Jerry said "I failed on the song (High Time)" He felt it needed a "better singer" and it was out of Bob's range. I think he sounds great on it. But I would love for that vision to be heard.

    @slipnutt This vid clip is from the Fest Ex. I believe he's play Cold Jordan on the footage but he's not playing High Time on this train ride. Might As Well lyrics are from his experience from this train ride in CA. " One long party from front to end.. Choo Choo goes the whistle around the bend "

    No matter how much you might love Festival Express, and I do, we got gyped cause imagine just how much music and footage was recorded. They probably taped every performance at every stop en route. There should be a boxed set to represent at least every band and artist that came on board that train. Where is it? Probably sitting on someone's shelf never to be seen by the people who need to see it, like me!

    Not out of tune! I've seen a lot of people say that. I loved the song so much I REWROTE IT using different chords! And no I didn't use a capo. Jerry was a genius! I did the same for many other songs over the years. I rewrote a John Denver song 2 times over. Jerry Garcia was a genius and my other recent favorite theirs is BLACK PETER. Just like this, a lot of people don't understand the song write, but it is genius.
