Mickey Hart Interviews

Forums:

I posted a two Mickey Hart interviews (1981 & 1982) inconveniently broken into three parts, twice on YouTube

Enjoy them. Mickey Hart is National Treasure. I think. Guy cracks me up.

 

Mickey Hart discusses the power of voting and such prior to the Grateful Dead & Joan Baez show in San Mateo 12/12/1981 at the Fiesta Hall, San Mateo County Fairgrounds.

I have a highly coveted Mickey Hart trading card I'm willing to sell to the highest bidder, it looks like this-

Probably out of my price range. But very cool to own.  I wouldn't sell it.

I guess, I'll make those YouTubes into 2 links now that I have the editing software at the end of the week

My nephew gave me Billy K's new book for XMAS.

Bluelight I liked Deal a lot. Good book and much better than Searching For The Sound. 

Anyone who does audio books should get Jerry on Jerry, awesome unreleased interviews w Jerry. I like the Audio book on this one cause I'd rather hear the Jerry Interviews than read them. 

Yeah,  I look forward to it.

I didn't purchase Jerry on Jerry, because I didn't want to find out that my sole source 1983 interview with Jerry Garcia was used with out any acknowledgement, I would be pissed if it was.

The only thing worse than hearing Mickey's drumming is listening to him talk about drumming.

He's talking about Apple computers, not drumming.

OK I combined all these Mickey Hart YouTube videos in to two respective interviews. I edited out any discursions of drumming for 73guy.

Plus, for extra credit I edited & liberated a short new cool Bill Kreutzmann interview & just posted it up on YouTube.

Mickey is as interesting to listen to in an interview as any of them, and his drumming pre-85 was fucking great.

That little San Mateo show in December of '81 was damn cool. The Grateful Dead were not on the bill, it was only advertised as Mickey's band High Noon & Joan Baez & Friends Acoustic with Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir & Phil Lesh. The GD playing an electric set was unexpected which made it greater than it already was.

As I always did in those days I took photos, but that was one of THOSE nights so these are the only shots that came out from that show. I still love all three...

Thanks Lance, I was actually I was trying to clean this up to make to more comprehendible; knowing that you went to this show & could help me out.

Tonight, I am going to re-edit & update the Billy & Mickey interviews original "billed as" with that information.

Great photographs!

Thank you.
