jeez, im never buying Cherry Garcia ice cream now. Why is One Toke Over The Line in this movie? It isn't a Dead song. Plus why do they have Golden Road like 9 diff times? They seriously couldn't find a diff GD song? They had maybe the largest musical repertoir of any rock band in history
4:14 I have one of those, but I never thought of it as a spawn of this evil gold digging parasite known as Deborah Garcia... No, I don't think it's Garcia, she doesn't deserve to be associated with such a great man.
Anybody who has spent time with hippies won't be surprised by any of this shit, quite honestly. There is no real brotherhood there. It's about being a good-time-Charlie , out for your kicks and your own pleasure. When it comes down to it.
But the Dead aren't the only ones. All those era bands have sold out to get even MORE money, selling their songs for car commercials, software commercials, and whatever. Even the guys from the Doors were suing eachother over some bullshit.
Jeez, Debra manages to come across as crass and vindictive whenever she talks on camera. Not to mention some of the cheesy ass merchandise she's pedaling. Thankfully our memories of Jerry are independent of her.
when I was growing up I got used to a phrase 'where there is a will there are relatives, and I still hold to that I think that whatever will Jerry might have made it would have been fought over.
i was pissed at the band for trying to keep the guitars, but i live in cleveland and i see rosebud and wolf jr. in the rock hall 4 times year and his guitars are seen. so the band did right. its so cool to see rosebud anytime i want up close inches from my face.

The sale of the guitars was probably exactly what the band was trying to avoid. I believe Jerry left them to him in the name of sentimentality. Almost makes me wonder how much of her greed was a factor in the decision not to continue the name of the band. I for one will not ever buy any "licensed" Garcia merchandise. I may buy my Furthur shirts at the kiosk....but any GD items will come from the parking lot!
What a shame about the guitars. I cannot believe how the band and Koons were and still are such money grubbing scum. Jerry must be rolling over in his grave(figuratively).
I really liked Jerry's ties when he was alive. It will be a cold day in hell that I would ever buy one now!
doug irwin is a dick for selling those guitars like that. if one of my friends died and gave me one of his guitars i wouldn't sell it no matter how much it is worth...even if i couldn't play them.
@phuketdoidoi Well given that The Grateful Dead by their own admission 'never made money on their studio recordings' and the money was made by going out on the road, the live recordings released later were a secondary way of making some money. How do you expect Deborah to reverse the loss making on studio recordings? I wish Jerry lived longer, and made his money, for the alimony, and led a quieter life, disentangling himself from the loop of touring/drugs/stressed relationships. He wanted that.
I really want a Tie or two, but it seems all merch money just goes directly to Deborah? It seems she really whores out anything she can and that quote about how the ice cream and ties makes more income than the music...kinda takes alot of spirit away from the great things Jerry did in his lifetime...does anyone know if any of his money was given out to charities or anything? like rehabilitation based ones or anything like that.
Jerry would be embarrassed by those who profitted in such greedy little ways from his death. I appologize Jerry. You were a great and generous spirit.
Just goes to show that money will rot your brain and dilute your ethics faster than any drug......the most important lessons and memories are the ones you carry in your heart.
Does anyone else think that its fucked up that his closest friends and family used his death to turn a profit? what a way to pay respects to a great man who didn't give a shit about money.
Aww it really makes me sad to hear that the band did this, I mean of course they are his guitars, they were even made to his specs, I would not feel like I would have to question the legality of this at all. So sad. At least Jerry is happy now up in heaven away from all this garbage.
@snoopval In his autobiography, Phil Lesh states unequivocably that he went against other band members when he supported Garcia's wishes that the guitars go to Irwin.
@Lisica2008 aw, I hope so, perhaps it's naive of me but I kind of like to think that hippies are/were unspoiled by money and all the politics that occur in daily life but I guess that is not completly true.
money makes people fucking nuts. it will distroy everything around it. i never new adout the estate battle but it dose not suprise me. im sad for his 1st wife see was in his life for so long and this gold digger desides that a agreement that they made was now no good and spreding his ashes in india what the fuck. and not letting the 1st wife go to spred the rest of his ashs what a shame
One of the best doc films ever made. ... about jerry, the band, and their followers, who re-created woodstock 1, all over again, at every concert, wherever they went. . Wish I had gone to one.
Love annabelle. ... and I think she's got the secret, underground, money-vault that no one's talking about. (?) (ha, ha, I hope so)
I'd like to ask doug irwin about those double-outputs at 1:05, or 5:03.
So Jerry has been gone for almost 16 years and everyone of the people in this film ... in his circle of family and friends are all human beings. they all have had this time to look back at what they did and what was right and what was wrong. So have all of us Deadheads had time to reflect. I am going to ask everyone who reaches this point in the youtube experience to just forgive and forget. No one is worth hating, none of us are angels. Debra is just another human so is Doug, let it go.
@lumanation4u2 ...amen. understanding and forgiveness, its as easy as that.. we all make mistakes. be straight and don't bring your perceptions of anyone or anything down to the gutters, keep all clean. were apart of life on earth to learn...and grow back to oneness and away from some individual separation. i hope The Widow with Mountain Girl and Doug with The Dead get a chance to communicate straight during their lives, because its their lives, thats it. hopefully become companions. i mean love
@lumanation4u2 I respect your intentions, but Deborah's behavior was abominable and she still profits off it in the public domain, so people are justified in voicing their disagreement with her.
thank you for posting this I for one will never ever buy any jerry merch after seeing this also the band should be ashamed of themselves for acting the way they did after his death
So let me see if I've got this right, Dead Heads, you folks see nothing wrong with the rest of this hippie band picking over the guy's guitars after his death, like scavengers chewing a bone? That's groovy, right?
But when his widow makes some cash off of licenses (which he gave his permission for while still alive), that's the evilest thing you can imagine.
You guys are a bunch of star fucking love children, with one standard for your heroes and another for everyone else.
Let's flip this and make it a positive. I used to sell my own unofficial Grateful Dead/Jerry t-shirts, but quit because I felt bad for making a couple bucks off of somebody else's name.
After watching this, though, I realize at least my couple shirts have integrity, heart. I wasn't thinking about money the whole time.
So whether I was in the right or in the wrong I still dunno, but at least I can say I handled things better than Koons.
Dumb bitch. I read an interview where Jerry said he was not comfortable with the "rock star" idol thing. This is making me sick and I think Ill go to bed.
was it DK or the band saying that the guitars didn't belong to Jerry? According to this documentary, it seems that both Deborah and the GD became somewhat mercenary after Jerry's death.
"This is one thing I did... because I figured that Jerry was a Rock star." Just In the way she says that, you can tell she didn't get why he was so special. It's amazing that you can be married to someone and not truly understand the beauty of that person's individuality.
RIP Jerry Garcia, RIP John Lennon, and rest in peace all of the other great music makers that have ever blessed the face of the earth........Deborah Koons i hope the higher power, or whoever made us all will kill you slowly :)
I guess I kinda feel like it doesn't do him justice for all of this shit to happen. It just belittles everything that Jerry Garcia stood for. I'm not a dead head and I'm kinda young compared to most Grateful Dead fans, but after watching the documentary and listening to the music it doesn't seem fitting for things to transpire the way they did.
I hope Deborah reads this....you are sooo fake. Please give at least a good amount to the people who deserve it. What a horrible lady, and by the way, Jerry probably just married you when he was sick and high. So..ha!
It would have been nice for the guitars to be given to an up and coming kid who was inspired by Jerry or something else cool like that instead where they are now, what happened to the ones that were given back to the boys?
money hungry ppl garcia's just laughin at all this greed i wouldv donated one of the guitars to either family or museum fuck sellin either of the guitars thats crazy
What about the dipshits in the Dead that first off put his ashes in India and then sued Doug Irwin for Jerry's guitars. I'll never go see bobby and friends either. At least Cherry Garcia leaves a good taste in your mouth!
Irwin was in a hit and run accident (the victim) and lost everything. He sold Jerrys guitars to start up a new company, which he did, and is now making guitars for people like Jerry. I dont think Jerry would mind that.
she's like a money-hungry stock broker. "hmm what else can i mass market and pass off as "jerry" merchandise to try and make a little more money off him?" who would buy that crap? she said herself that her little business is doing better than the music selling... i feel bad for his daughter.
yeah i agree he should have kept the guitars or atleast one of them, jerry wanted him to have the guitars he made for him, forget the money, well atleast he shouldnt have sold them right away i say..oh well i guess theyll get what they deserve eventually if thats what u wanna believe...furthermore things should have been left in better hands with the people that cared about him , not the ones that market off him, shit atleast the band should get more they experienced the most with him!
this debra lady is a real gold digger...doug irwin should've kept those guitars...his daughter seems like the most level headed person out of this whole thing
I will never eat cherry garcia again and am sick to know that a gift we recieved of the Jerry rock star rift thing in her hand was made by his widow!!!!! UGH!!!!! Mountain Girl rocks and so does his daughter. If they weren't such wonderful people they should punch d.koons in the face!!!!!!! She is a gold digger!!!!!!! His wishes should be honored and screw you dk!!!!!!
I'm sure Jerry enjoyed the money, but what you have to remember is that many people relied on the Grateful Dead financially. Not only was the band supporting themselves but many others relied on them for cash flow; either working directly for them or not. People's livelihood was at stake if they quit touring. John Kahn referred to it as the Grateful Dead tit. Many suckled from the Grateful Dead tit and I think that was the biggest reason they kept touring after the thrill was gone.
Oh and if Jerry handed Irwin cash for the guitars, the guitars should have gone to Jerry's wife or kids. I don't really understand the "Deborah cashed in out of nowhere" rant. I don't like her but they were married at the time of his death, therefore she was the next of kin. In a normal court of law, everything would go to wife and kids.
What's particularly offensive about Deborah's behavior is that she reportedly tried to break the divorce settlement between Jerry and MG after Jerry died--even though Jerry apparently entered into the agreement willingly and in fact abided by its terms while he was alive. But Deborah decided that she knew better and tried to break it. Deborah was in line to inherit a third of Jerry's estate, so she had plenty of incentive to fight off claims.
Listening to those degenerates berate Irwin for selling Jerry's guitars was laughable. At least he earned it for god's sake. Deborah just cashed in out of nowhere and got millions for NOTHING.
Jerry Garcia might have been a good person, I'm sure he was a very nice man, but the last 10 years of his life, he was only playing with the Grateful Dead for the money. The Dead were one of the top grossing bands for about a decade from the early and mid 80's until he died. His daughter is stating the truth, he wanted to stop, but the money was too good. She even says he hated doing it. The Dead were a marketing machine, so I don't think that Garcia would mind the store.
I wonder how Jerry would have felt about that kitschy statue that Deborah is so proud of . And somehow, her description of him as a "rock star" doesn't quite capture his legacy.
She is certainly a classless, unethincal whore. I'm sure Jerry, who was worth millions, was really thanking god for that 60k from ice cream. What in god's name is this woman even talking about?
jerry was such a good guy. he treated everybody with equal respect. people should not fight over his belongings, but remember all the times they had with im. you can recreate jerry through material possesions, but you sure can with your memories and love for him. respect the dead and what they have done for you. they could end up saving you in the long run. how dare the widow not let mountain girl spread his ashes too. she had a child with him and deserves it more than anyone does. love you jer
Speaking as someone who has been an executor of an estate...it ain't easy. I get the soap opera aspect of the interest in this stuff...but it doesn't matter in the grand scheme. Jerry rocks!
Jerry must have been very good-natured to put up with everyone hanging on him, literally and figuratively. Look how he politelyy he brushed off the groupie at 1:59.
His daughter is such a saint. But I hate how his death was treated as who could get the most money out of it. God, Jerry wouldn't have liked to see it end like this.
I know what you mean, but greedy people like Deborah are usually never satisfied and keep asking for more and more. One thing's certain: I'll never buy the Cherry Garcia ice cream and other stuff merchandised as Garcia products, knowing that Deborah gets the proceeds.
I know it's been a long time and we should let it go...but I still wish Jerry would've just stood up for himself and said "I don't want to tour so much" or "I don't owe you guys...(supporting everyone)." He probably wouldn't have ended up so burnt.
jeez, im never buying Cherry Garcia ice cream now. Why is One Toke Over The Line in this movie? It isn't a Dead song. Plus why do they have Golden Road like 9 diff times? They seriously couldn't find a diff GD song? They had maybe the largest musical repertoir of any rock band in history

I guess I kinda feel like it doesn't do him justice for all of this shit to happen. It just belittles everything that Jerry Garcia stood for. I'm not a dead head and I'm kinda young compared to most Grateful Dead fans, but after watching the documentary and listening to the music it doesn't seem fitting for things to transpire the way they did.

I hope Deborah reads this....you are sooo fake. Please give at least a good amount to the people who deserve it. What a horrible lady, and by the way, Jerry probably just married you when he was sick and high. So..ha!

It would have been nice for the guitars to be given to an up and coming kid who was inspired by Jerry or something else cool like that instead where they are now, what happened to the ones that were given back to the boys?

Irwin was in a hit and run accident (the victim) and lost everything. He sold Jerrys guitars to start up a new company, which he did, and is now making guitars for people like Jerry. I dont think Jerry would mind that.

jimmorrisonmylove 2 years ago 2
I'm sure Jerry enjoyed the money, but what you have to remember is that many people relied on the Grateful Dead financially. Not only was the band supporting themselves but many others relied on them for cash flow; either working directly for them or not. People's livelihood was at stake if they quit touring. John Kahn referred to it as the Grateful Dead tit. Many suckled from the Grateful Dead tit and I think that was the biggest reason they kept touring after the thrill was gone.
yohan00420 2 years ago
Oh and if Jerry handed Irwin cash for the guitars, the guitars should have gone to Jerry's wife or kids. I don't really understand the "Deborah cashed in out of nowhere" rant. I don't like her but they were married at the time of his death, therefore she was the next of kin. In a normal court of law, everything would go to wife and kids.
yohan00420 2 years ago
What's particularly offensive about Deborah's behavior is that she reportedly tried to break the divorce settlement between Jerry and MG after Jerry died--even though Jerry apparently entered into the agreement willingly and in fact abided by its terms while he was alive. But Deborah decided that she knew better and tried to break it. Deborah was in line to inherit a third of Jerry's estate, so she had plenty of incentive to fight off claims.
Lisica2008 2 years ago
Listening to those degenerates berate Irwin for selling Jerry's guitars was laughable. At least he earned it for god's sake. Deborah just cashed in out of nowhere and got millions for NOTHING.

Jerry Garcia might have been a good person, I'm sure he was a very nice man, but the last 10 years of his life, he was only playing with the Grateful Dead for the money. The Dead were one of the top grossing bands for about a decade from the early and mid 80's until he died. His daughter is stating the truth, he wanted to stop, but the money was too good. She even says he hated doing it. The Dead were a marketing machine, so I don't think that Garcia would mind the store.
jjevans2009 2 years ago
I think he really enjoyed playing with jerry garcia band and david grisman, he seemed more joyful than he did with the dead during that time.

I wonder how Jerry would have felt about that kitschy statue that Deborah is so proud of . And somehow, her description of him as a "rock star" doesn't quite capture his legacy.
Lisica2008 2 years ago 5
She is certainly a classless, unethincal whore. I'm sure Jerry, who was worth millions, was really thanking god for that 60k from ice cream. What in god's name is this woman even talking about?

jerry was such a good guy. he treated everybody with equal respect. people should not fight over his belongings, but remember all the times they had with im. you can recreate jerry through material possesions, but you sure can with your memories and love for him. respect the dead and what they have done for you. they could end up saving you in the long run. how dare the widow not let mountain girl spread his ashes too. she had a child with him and deserves it more than anyone does. love you jer

I know what you mean, but greedy people like Deborah are usually never satisfied and keep asking for more and more. One thing's certain: I'll never buy the Cherry Garcia ice cream and other stuff merchandised as Garcia products, knowing that Deborah gets the proceeds.
Lisica2008 2 years ago 25
@Lisica2008 - she doesn't get proceeds from Cherry Garcia...she gets a flat licensing fee, whether you buy the product or not.

@pbl1 I wonder how long Deborah will be paid the licensing fee if they discontinue the flavor due to lack of sales.

I know it's been a long time and we should let it go...but I still wish Jerry would've just stood up for himself and said "I don't want to tour so much" or "I don't owe you guys...(supporting everyone)." He probably wouldn't have ended up so burnt.
