Goodbye, Jerry
Here’s another clip I found on an old VHS after cleaning out the garage: A music video tribute to the late Jerry Garcia I edited for director Wayne Wang.
I had just moved to San Francisco when Jerry Garcia died in the summer of 1995. Wang had recently directed Smoke and his improv follow-up Blue In The Face, and Garcia had done music for the films. When Garcia passed away, Wang conceived this tribute from footage of an incomplete video he directed at the time. This piece ended up playing in theaters before Blue In The Face.
I have fond memories putting this together and love the last image we found of Garcia in a private moment, when he didn’t realize the camera was rolling.
