Those same folks, when asked what their favourite song from the group is, will often tell you something along the lines of: it\u2019s all one big song, man.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the jam band is infamous for its raucous, elongated, trippy shows and its fans who travel around the country taking part.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the band\u2019s actual name? And were they always known as The Grateful Dead? Well, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll investigate here. So, without further ado, let\u2019s dive into the world of the band\u2014along with one of their more popular tunes below.<\/p>\n<p>The band was formed (under a different name) in 1965 in Northern California in the city of Palo Alto. Blending rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, and more genres, the band\u2019s brand of psychedelic music has become the stuff that legend is made of\u2014especially via the band\u2019s live shows, which often include lengthy jams that can last 10, 20, 30 or more minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9935 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Today, the band\u2019s fans\u00a0 <em><strong>(right)<\/strong> <\/em>are known as Deadheads, both for their appreciation of the band and for their penchant to trip out with psychedelic drugs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9936 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"174\" height=\"217\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Born in the Bay Area, where counter-culture in America was taking off in the 1960s, the band\u2019s founding members include lead guitarist and vocalist Jerry Garcia <em><strong>(left)<\/strong><\/em>, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, keyboardist Ron McKernan, bassist Phil Lesh, and drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Together, they created a group that will live in infamy.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the band was known as the Warlocks. Members of that early outfit had played together in various San Francisco groups, including the traditional jug band Mother McCree\u2019s Uptown Jug Champions. Lesh was the final member to join the Warlocks before the group changed its name officially to the Grateful Dead.<\/p>\n<p>The band\u2019s first show was at Magoo\u2019s Pizza Parlor, which was located at 639 Santa Cruz Avenue in suburban Menlo Park. It took place on May 5, 1965. The location is now a furniture store.<\/p>\n<p>The band continued its gigs, playing bar shows like Frenchy\u2019s Bikini-A-Go-Go. They also played a regular gig that included five sets a night, five nights a week for six weeks at the In Room in Belmont.<\/p>\n<p>The band ended up changing its name from The Warlocks after finding out that another group was known by that same moniker. In addition, The Velvet Underground had also been known as The Warlocks but had musicians later landed on the name The Grateful Dead. According to legend, that name was chosen from a dictionary. Said Lesh, Jerry Garcia picked up an old Britannica World Language Dictionary \u2026 [and] \u2026 In that silvery elf-voice he said to me, \u2018Hey, man, how about the Grateful Dead?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The definition of the moniker was \u201cthe soul of a dead person, or his angel, showing gratitude to someone who, as an act of charity, arranged their burial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9937 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"178\" height=\"283\" \/> And according to Alan Trist, the director of the band\u2019s music publishing company, Ice Nine, Garcia found the name in the Funk &amp; Wagnalls Folklore Dictionary when his finger landed on that phrase while playing a game of \u201cFictionary.\u201d In Garcia\u2019s biography Captain Trips <em><strong>(right),<\/strong><\/em> the author Sandy Troy said that the group was smoking the psychedelic drug DMT at the time.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cgrateful dead\u201d also appears in a number of folktales from various cultures.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9938 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/5-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Grateful Dead\u2019s first show was in San Jose on December 4, 1965, at one of Ken Kesey\u2019s Acid Tests. Kesey <em><strong>(left)<\/strong><\/em> was an author (not least of One Flew Over The Cuckoo\u00b4s Nest9 and psychedelic drug proponent.<\/p>\n<p>While some early demo tapes have survived, the first of some 2,000 concerts known to have been recorded by the band\u2019s fans came from a gig at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on January 8, 1966. And later that month, the group played at the Trips Festival, which was a three-day psychedelic rock weekend party produced by Kesey and others. Hippies unite!<br \/>\nAfter Garcia died in 1995, former members of the band, along with other musicians, toured as the Other Ones in 1998, 2000, and 2002. Later, they toured as the Dead in 2003, 2004, and 2009.<br \/>\nIn 2015, the four surviving band members marked the group\u2019s 50th anniversary in a series of shows that were billed as their last performances together. Since then there have been other groups born from those players, including Dead &amp; Company, Further, the Rhythm Devils, Phil Lesh and Friends, and more.<\/p>\n<p>If I seemed to be damning The Grateful Dead with faint praise in my introduction on our front page I can assure you that is not a true reflection of my true estimation of them. They might not have been a band I really \u00b4listened\u00b4 to in the way I would hang on the lyrics of Townes Van Zandt or Tom Waits or the folk-rock of John Stewart but I would often put on a Grateful Dead album simply to feel the groove.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9939 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7.jpg 225w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-7-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Compelled, now, to refresh my memory with some research I now realise that the Andrew Lloyd Webber song I referred to earlier was Any Dream Will Do <em><strong>(right)<\/strong><\/em>, that was released for public consumption in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>The Grateful Dead song I likened it to, \u2026or likened to it,\u2026 was Ripple off the gorgeous, laid back American Beauty album released in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>So, although I am notoriously known as being tone deaf, those two songs that seem to me so much alike (in melody, in arrangement and in the message the tune carries) were actually created only eighteen months or two years apart, a time span that only fuels my suspicions. Nevertheless, the respected music journo Jim Beviglia delivered a fairly exhaustive history of the Grateful Dead song riplle and in his American Songwriter article made no reference to its similarlity to any other song, living or dead !<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9940 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/7-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"198\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a result of their well-deserved reputation as the preeminent live act of their era, it\u2019s understandable that the studio recordings of The Grateful Dead can be somewhat overshadowed. Along those same lines, the song-writing prowess of the band, which often boiled down to the music of Jerry Garcia and the lyrics of Robert Hunter <em><strong>(left)<\/strong><\/em>, doesn\u2019t always get the credit it deserves.<\/p>\n<p>Yet in 1970, the Dead released a pair of studio albums within months of each other that seemed to both capture the unease of an entire generation unmoored from their ideals and act as a balm to soothe those disappointments. Workingman\u2019s Dead was quickly followed by American Beauty, and from that latter album came \u201cRipple,\u201d perhaps the quintessence of both the band\u2019s delicate studio magic and the Garcia\/Hunter partnership<\/p>\n<p>Hunter certainly seems to think he was firing on all cylinders for the song. When asked by Rolling Stone earlier this year to name a certain lyric of which he was particularly proud, he responded, \u201cLet it be known there is a fountain\/ That was not made by the hands of men,\u201d a line from \u201cRipple.\u201d That\u2019s pretty much my favourite line I ever wrote, that\u2019s ever popped into my head. And I believe it, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lines like that were tailor-made for Garcia because he could deliver heady profundities like that with a twinkle in his voice, keeping them grounded when they easily could have floated off into the ether. For \u201cRipple,\u201d Garcia constructed a melody that was pure and humble, tinged with a bit of sadness. Hunter recalled to Rolling Stone when his old friend came up with the music to match his lyrics: \u201cWe were in Canada on that train trip [the Festival Express, 1970] and one morning the train stopped and Jerry was sitting out on the tracks not too far off, in the sunrise, setting \u201cRipple\u201d to music. That\u2019s a good memory\u00b4<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9941 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/8-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"196\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the studio, the band caressed the song with the gentleness of a lover. Garcia\u2019s acoustic guitar is the song\u2019s tender heart, while the rhythm section of Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann nudge the song forward. By the time they got to \u201cRipple\u201d on American Beauty <em><strong>(right)<\/strong><\/em>, the Dead had darn near perfected the harmonies they used heavily on Workingman\u2019s Dead. The ensemble voices on \u201cRipple\u201d provide comfort when the words evoke hardship.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter delivers lyrics that evoke cosmic wisdom and serenity without ignoring the darkness on the fringes of even the most blessed lives. The song nods at different religions and philosophies, from the Christian overtones of the lines about cups both empty and filled, which recall the 23rd Psalm, to the Buddhist koan feel of the refrain.<\/p>\n<p>The chorus even breaks off from the relatively straightforward rhyme scheme of the verses to form a haiku, another example of East meeting West in the song.<\/p>\n<p>The song opens up with Garcia opining on the power of music, or perhaps it\u2019s better to say the lack thereof. Even if his words glowed and were majestically propelled through the air on a \u201charp unstrung,\u201d he has no certainty that they\u2019ll have any positive impact on the listener.<\/p>\n<p>Still, ineffectuality aside, he also concedes that the world is better for having music: \u201cI don\u2019t know, don\u2019t really care\/ Let there be songs to fill the air.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the second verse, things turn much more somber, as the narrator, after wishing good tidings and full cups on his audience courtesy of that magical fountain, warns of a \u201croad, no simple highway\/ Between the dawn and the dark of night.\u201d On this path the traveller will enjoy no company: \u201cThat path is for your steps alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9942 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/9-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"252\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With these unanswerable mysteries still lingering, the chorus interrupts and the mandolin played by David Grisman <em><strong>(left)<\/strong><\/em> seems to suspend the song in mid-air so Garcia can deliver the hauntingly lovely imagery of the chorus: \u201cRipple in still water\/ When there is no pebble tossed\/ Nor wind to blow.\u201d We can envisage those lines, their inherent contradictions no match for the music\u2019s ability to put them across.<\/p>\n<p>The final verse returns to again strike a somewhat ominous tone, but the last line offers some consolation. \u201cIf I knew the way, I would take you home,\u201d Garcia sings. That the narrator would offer assistance if he could is all the succor he can give to his companion, and somehow it\u2019s enough. In this hard world, it has to be. And if you do have to go it alone, there\u2019s always music to bring along as company, which is what the final \u201cla-da\u201d singalong seems to suggest. The Grateful Dead played \u201cRipple\u201d in their recent Fare Thee Well shows, and although they essayed it nicely, it could never have quite matched up with that original version on American Beauty.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that\u2019s because Jerry Garcia was only at those shows in spirit. Or maybe it was just that the studio perfection of \u201cRipple\u201d couldn\u2019t be improved upon, even by the world\u2019s most renowned live band.<\/p>\n<p>So, as has so happened so often over the past four years I have been writing these daily blogs, my memories have failed to queue in a chronological order, forcing me to dive into some research to prove (or, more often, disprove my points). In doing that I have excellent essays by a couple of great journalists and what makes them great is that they write in such enthusiastic manner that they persuade me to revise some of my long held prides and prejudices.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst reading messrs Iotto and Beviglia I have been a soundtrack that has brought me songs like Touch Of Grey, Hell In A Bucket, Ripple, Uncle John\u00b4s Band,\u2026\u2026.they were pretty good The Grateful Dead, I should have remembered that more often.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9944 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aata.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/note-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"282\" height=\"185\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>The primary source for this article was\u00a0 a piece in American Songwriter, who are an excellent and positive information stream on the origins and meanings of all things music..\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In our occasional re-postings Sidetracks And Detours are confident that we are not only sharing with our readers excellent articles written by experts but are also pointing to informed and informative sites readers will re-visit time and again.
