A fascinating conversation with Captain Trips himself. watch
When he was onstage with the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia let his music do the talking. But here is a Deadhead's dream: a rare, extended conversation with Garcia and NBC's Rona Elliott from 1987, the year the Dead released "In the Dark." It's Garcia at his best: smart, funny, engaging and enthusiastic. Drummer Mickey Hart joins in halfway through the interview. Also included here: Garcia on the Today show in 1981, talking with Gene Shalit. watch
