I walked past Garcia at the Keystone Berkeley during the late 70's. He was headed to the dressing room for a break, when I stood next to him to congratulate his performance with a "real high," high-five. Reaching in the air as high as I could, (I'm 6'4"), Jerry gave me the "eye" and said, "yeah sure!" I then lowered my hand to about eye level and said, "let's shoot for a midrange-five." He winked, laughed and said, "yeahhhh, that's clever!"
He looked about 5'9" or 5'10" at that time. glenn says on 30/May/08
6ft is a little extreme.sure it wasnt heels? cause in photos i have in cd booklets he does look one the shorter members,and about 5-10.

I remember standing next to Jerry back in the 60's. I'm 5'10" and he was taller than I. I'd say he was closer to 6ft. Weir and Kreutzman were the same height as Jerry. Phil was about 6ft.2 and the other drummer was my height. glenn says on 23/Feb/08
he was a great guy too. nate says on 22/Feb/08
glenn, thats awesome how you met Garcia... Glenn says on 12/Nov/06
I couldnt get that sick image out of my head Sf! J-I buy more cds than anything in the last 7 years,but still do get vinyl.lastest-Country Mikes greatests Hits(Beastie Boys,rare),Bad English Backlash(kinda rare),Bloody Panda/Kayo Dot(split),New York Dolls new LP and thats about it I think.and you? sf says on 12/Nov/06
no, no - just kidding!! Making fun of how Nugent used to wear loin cloths on stage, swing around stage, and shoot flaming bows and arrows! J. says on 11/Nov/06
Yes, Glenn! We're both serious vinyl collectors and music obsessives so we know the deal! LOL. On The Long Run, 'The Disco Strangler' and especially the dark atmosphmere piece 'King of Hollywood' rang as some of the Eagles best material. The goofy Jimmy Buffett song is the only mishap on the record. What are were some of your latest vinyl purchases? Glenn says on 11/Nov/06
Still trying to picture that.my fave dead lps,cds are Aoxomoxoa and Infrared Roses. Glenn says on 11/Nov/06
Garcia wore a loincloth? sf says on 11/Nov/06
I'm not a huge Dead fan - got a few cd's and have a listen every now and then, but I know their place in rock history and I know no one can compare Nugent to the Dead. Although I did see Garcia once, wearing a loin cloth on stage, but, sadly, didn't shoot a guitar with a flaming bow and arrow. Glenn says on 10/Nov/06
J-your my man! Long Run is my favorite! and the first 2.glad for once someone spoke up on how corny hits are. J. says on 10/Nov/06
I agree, Glenn. With most legendary artists, it's the non-hits and album tracks that are their real gems. With the Eagles, I think thier 'The Long Run' LP is the best and accidentically, it's probably the one most of their hardcore fans dislike the most! Glenn says on 9/Nov/06
I used to hate names like the Dead,Dylan,Eagles when I was young.now,whilst Im not the biggest fan,theyre all important in music history.its always the hits and radio songs I hate on a hundred artists at least. its the album tracks and less known songs that have me going,wow the Eagles are good.the hits are either stupid and or played out. sf says on 9/Nov/06
What did Nugent say? How can you deny Garcia and what the Grateful Dead are, even if you don't like them? As much as I like Nugent, he'll never be classified in the same league as the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia. Garcia looks easily 5'10" there. Middle-sized Cat says on 8/Nov/06
Great musician, despite what Ted Nugent (so brave that he slags off dead people!) said. (Glenn, when did you have long hair?) Glenn says on 25/Jan/06
he looked more 5-8 to me. Eggplant says on 25/Jan/06
At Madame Tussaud's he looks 5'10 - 5'11 (prime). |
