interview conclusion
Jerry Garcia Interview by Randy Groenke and Mike Cramer. Date of early March 1967 is inferred from comments about the imminent release of the GD's first album. Blair Jackson wrote the following about this interview: "This interview was done at 710 Ashbury in February or March of 1967 ... Randy Groenke, the principal interviewer, had been a banjo student of Garcia's in the early 60s when they both lived in the South Bay. He and his friend Mike Cramer simply called Jerry up and arranged to do the interview, friend to friend."
"One Afternoon Long Ago ... An Interview with Jerry Garcia, 1967," by Randy Groenke and Mike Cramer. First published in The Golden Road magazine and reprinted in Herb Greene, Dead Days: A Grateful Dead Illustrated History (Petaluma, CA: Acid Test Productions, 1997).

KMPX Radio Show
April - XX - 1967
Here is a description of this show I found on the internet:
THE CELESTIAL JUKEBOX (Special Radio Flashback Edition "The Phil 'n' Jerry Show" April 1967)
A long, long time ago -- before many of you were born -- there was a wondrous thing called "progressive" or "free-form" radio. These were the days when rock radio stations were programmed by people who actually knew and loved music, rather than the accountants and marketing analysts who now control the airwaves. During this time it was possible to hear, in a single program, music by artists as diverse as the Beatles, Ravi Shankar and Miles Davis, to name but a few, picked and played by DJs who spoke to, rather than at, their audience. One of the pioneering stations in this adventurous era of radio was KMPX-FM in San Francisco, which was instrumental in letting the world know about the explosion of great music in the Bay Area in the late 60s.
One fine April evening in 1967, the station's co-founder, the legendary Tom "Big Daddy" Donahue, invited Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia to play guest DJ on his nightly KMPX show. Phil and Jerry discussed the Grateful Dead's then-brand-new debut album (they promised the next one would be much better!), as well as such arcane topics as a top-secret military project to develop a "sound gun" that could kill or maim everyone for miles around with super-low-frequencies. Best of all, they brought along some of their favorite records to play on the air. As you might expect, it was a most unpredictable batch of tunes indeed.
The following is a playlist from Phil and Jerry's guest DJ shift, as broadcast on KMPX-FM in San Francisco, sometime during the last week of April, 1967.

Interview/Other: Jerry Garcia
Unlike the better sounding recording that is part of the Acid Test Compilation set, this is a complete copy of this interview. It was taped from an FM radio broadcast in NYC in the mid 90s.
Jerry Garcia & Co. at 710 Ashbury in Spring 1967. (Interview w/out any music)
ALL from Richard Starlight's Radio Effluvia.
This has no SHN ID, it prob never will. Some "portions" of it do as they are from the Acid Tests recordings. Those are fully documented in the db data base.
To all db Admin, please DO NOT MERGE this with anything, thanks.

From It was a dark and stormy night at the Matrix in '67 ... Jerry, Jorma,
Jack, Pig, Unknown drummer - Kidd Candelario supposedly said it's Mickey
Hart; or maybe it's Spencer Dryden. We know it's Tuesday as the one
dose (oops - I meant disc) has the title 'Tuesday Night Jam'. But we
don't know a whole lot else. Wholly molly, Batman (or insert apropos
superhero character nom-de-plume here)!@#$%&!!! - is this oldie but
goodie 33 years on? To listen to this disc you wouldn't know it. Except
that it's great. And that you get to be *almost* the first person on
your block to own this recently circulated gem.
This is something resembling a setlist:
Tuesday Night Jam at the Matrix - 1967
Total time: 53:55
SBD> MR> DAT> CDR
Caveat emptor: The disc isn't perfect. It's a 33-year-old performance,
for crying out loud ;-)
There are tape flips and cuts.
