On August 13, 1975, The Grateful Dead played a show at the ridiculously small and distinctively decorous Great American Music Hall (GAMH) in San Francisco. This was one of only four concerts the band played that year, all of them in San Francisco. The setlist was mostly comprised of songs from the album Blues for Allah, which had not yet been released. Many Deadheads revere the GAMH performance as an all-time favorite.

The ‘Days Between’ mark the nine days that separate Jerry Garcia’s birthday, August 1, and his death date, August 9. Doug Hagman, frontman for Terrapin Flyer, felt compelled earlier this year to do something to commemorate this special time. "I was in Italy, and I just had to play to celebrate," Hagman told me. "So I called up Martyrs and asked, 'What dates do you have open?'" And so, this year's celebration began to take shape.

On the occasion of Jerry Garcia's birthday, renowned musician David Grisman reflects on his late friend and musical collaborator. Grisman recalls Garcia as a uniquely talented musician, artist, and human being with a kind soul— and a great friend. Their friendship began 60 years ago at a Bill Monroe show at Sunset Park in West Grove, PA, where both traveled—Garcia, notably, from much farther—to see the Father of Bluegrass music. This meeting marked the start of a deep personal and musical relationship.
