Thanks for clearing that "BOHICA" thing up. Very appropriate for this thread. One more computer geek/chat term I can add to my meager arsenal. Now "can of worms," that's one of my all-time favorite expressions. Also very appropriate. "You hit the nail on the head." ------------------ |

I believe it's a very valid question. Does such a list exist? I'd like to see it. |

Well, there's a pretty extensive discography posted here. If you follow the links to the specific releases you'll find that many of them features the instrumentation of each track. Steinar ------------------ |

C'mon Charlie, we all knew that one, Love Song, wasn't it? I'm stretching back a few years, but I clearly remember that...buxom girl- I recall that she was described as"zaftig" at the time. Crikey! TW3! |

Someone could compile such a list from the GD dicography by entering the following into Goggle's search box: "Jerry Garcia pedal steel" site:www.deaddisc.com The search yields 47 pages, 1 for each album he played on. ------------------ [This message was edited by b0b on 18 October 2005 at 04:46 PM.] |

"Change Partners" is a favorite of mine. JG and Steven Stills, a very cool time signature change, diatonic harmonies walked up from the 1(A), BC pedals I'm pretty sure. Anyone else know of it? JP |

YES but he does NOT play PSG on the Zabriskie Point soundtrack! That is just two overdubbed electrics... He told Antonioni he wanted to do another take, but Antonioni was too pleased with the first one to alllow it... |

Change Partners is a GREAT piece of steel work by Jerry.. VERY musical.. Its amazing how SO many steel players think Jerry couldn't play the steel well, yet some of the most highly talented singers and musicians of the day sought HIS sound out for thier albums, when their labels probably would have gotten them any steel player they wanted for the session... no Jerry was NOT a technician on the steel, but he WAS a musician on it.... bob |

They didn't and don't need Jerry Garcia to get high. If you have money, high will find you. Jerry had a soulful feeling in his playing. It's hard to teach that to a musician (or your Children!) |

I found a bunch of live Jerry on the steel here at http://www.archive.org/audio/etree.php If you search for 'Jerry pedal steel' you'll find several live cuts of varying quality. Most of are from '69 - '72. There are several versions of Dire Wolf with Bobby singing and, what I assume to be, a bunch of country classics that a young-er Yank like myself was unfamilar with. There is also a couple of sets of the fat man with NRPS. If you just search 'pedal steel' you'll get some Robert Randolph and the forums very own John Graboff with Ryan Adams. Rocco |

Andy, my point is that the young, hip musicians of that era probably weren't all that comfortable with the steel players who frequented the Palomino club. Two very different scenes. Jerry was someone they could feel comfortable with. |

San Francisco just name a city park amphitheater after Jerry. Here's the news article. There's no mention of the "world's greatest pedal steel guitarist" plaque.  |

I happened to go to the city park (JG Ampitheater) dedication this last past Saturday. Band by name of Grapefruit Ed played with a very good steel player- I did not get his name however- if anyone on forum knows it? Same band played there last year and had a piano/keyboard player in his place- they did a set HEAVY on Dylan covers which they handled quite well. Also the Little Wheels Band with a pedal steel player out of Austin TX (did not catch HIS name, either, but that was due to other noises around me at the time)-it was nice to see pedal steel players at the event in any case, & what was good about Little Wheels is, they had the guts to play their OWN tunes, not just to try out covers... BTW this is a GEM of a place to place music... |

The jam band scene is going to be the next big source of new steel players! |

Jerry also played steel on Brewer and Shipley's song "Oh, Mommy" which was the flip side to "One Toke Over the Line." I once talked to Jerry about pedal steel guitars. He didn't think he was that hot either. ;-) |

"He didn't think he was that hot either. ;-)" A sign of a "name" musician with some class - not hyping his own talents. Some pretty good lists have been presented - I'll have to dig some of those up myself. While I agree Garcia wasn't the world's greatest steel player, he had a recognizable style and a unique "snap" to his playing that makes for fun listening. If we all only listened to the 10 greatest steel players on earth it'd get pretty boring eventually. And nobody would agree about that list either.... |
