In part one of this two-part (online) interview, Grateful Dead Historian Dennis McNally discusses Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead for Jerry Week 2015. Dennis sets the stage for the further exploration of the music of Jerry Garcia and a more in-depth discussion of the Grateful Dead.

As Dennis mentioned, Jerry Garcia was just trying to "stand up there and play in tune."
