Kaiser, Oakland I Will Take You Home - Built to Last Bonnie Simmons: For one reason or another we seem to have gotten off on "Victim or the Crime" - Lesh: Gotten off on it? Simmons: Can you tell me your version of how "Victim or the Crime" came about? Garcia: Well, I think the first time Weir showed it to me was when we played with Joan Baez at an AIDS thing in the city, and he - I listened in amazement and said, "God, that's got pretty angular changes, doesn't it?" It's fascinating because it defies, almost, any effort to play freely through it. You can't do it. You have to know it, it's that simple. It has changes in it, and they're very strict, and they have lots of real dissonant moments. So the angularity of it was fascinating to me, the tonality was, because it's one of those things where you really have to stretch to figure out something appropriate to play to add to the tonal mood of the tune. The text of it - I don't believe I've ever actually listened to all the words to it. Ever. I have the gist of it; by now I probably could recite it if I really had to, but the text of it is more of the same in a way: it doesn't have a whole lot of light in it. It's very dense, and it's angst-ridden to boot. Weir: "Victim or the Crime" I wrote with Gerrit Graham. The chorus came to me one night, and I sat on it for a couple weeks, looking at it, and I was down visiting Gerrit - he lives in LA - and I showed it to him and he said, "Hey, listen, can I run off with this for a night? I'll be right back with it." He came back the next day, and he had two verses and a bridge fleshed out from that chorus, and we did a little bit of hammering on it - hardly any - and then I put music to it, and that happened, though the music was really pretty damn complicated, it happened real fast. It happened inside of two hours, I think. Then we started trying to soften up some of the stuff that we knew we were going to encounter resistance with, like the J-word. We tried to come up with stuff like "Patience runs out on the monkey," or then we tried to take it all the way that direction - "Patience runs out on the bunny." But none of that worked. Then the whole rest of the song just wouldn't stand up, because it has an integrity about it that's - you know, you can't dick with it. Garcia: It seemed to me when we were starting to record it, in order to save it from an effort to make it more attractive, I thought that what would work with the song would be to just go with it, to go with the angularity and the sort of asymmetrical way it's structured, and play to expose that. An early possibility that occurred to me was that this would be an interesting song to do something really strange with. And this is where Mickey, of course, comes into the picture, 'cause he's one of the guys that holds down the strangeness corner, and he's always a willing accomplice in these ideas. So I thought the Beam, which is an instrument that people feel about about the way they feel about "Victim or the Crime," the tune - I thought, let's take two of the things that really have a huge potential for really upsetting people - Simmons: A polarization tool - Garcia: Absolutely! - and let's combine them in a happy marriage. Something that will be a real horror show. And it's turned out to be strangely beautiful. I really enjoy it, now. Garcia: When me and Mickey started working on the ending, I was sitting there listening and I said, "You know, I may be going crazy, but I'm starting to like this..." Simmons: I am too. (laughs) Initially I thought it was one of the oddest things I could ever imagine. Garcia: Well, it certainly is strange. It's one of Weir's stunningly odd compositions, but it's also very adventurous. It's uncompromising; it's what it is, and the challenge of coming up with stuff to play that sounds intelligent in the context has been incredible, but also appropriately gnarly. I think we've done a nice job on the record with it. It works. Whatever it is, it works! I'm real happy with it because it was one of those things that was like "What are we going to do with this?" It's like having a monster brother that you lock in the attic. It's like a relative that you - "God, I hope nobody comes over when he's eating"... Simmons: I think you put it in a perfect place. Garcia: It's something like that... That's one of the things that makes the Grateful Dead fun. Phil Lesh: I didn't particularly care for the song for the attitude of the song when I first heard it, and I was kind of wishing that Bob had written something new, frankly, for the album. But I have to admit it's grown on me. It's grown on me, and I've found things to play in it, whereas first it was a just question of going boom-boom-boom-boom. I'm beginning to hear the music in it now. So I don't really dislike the song. I don't quite understand why Bob feels he has to sing this song - but I'll defend to the death his right to sing it. And to have us play it, too. If he can make it stick. Bob Weir: There is a ponderosity about it that a lot of people consider pompous, and perhaps it is pompous. There's that part of all of us. The questions posed in this song are not unique to this boy. If being pompous is what it takes to actually express this sort of thing - and you know, it's something I feel and it's something that I kind of want to take a peek at. It's, as far as I can see, human nature, and I don't think I'm doing anything intensely meaningful here, but I'm at least trying to get to something that's maybe a little knottier than Sugar Magnolia. Garcia: We've got a handle on it, I think, now, and there's also places for us to take it. So I think it may open up into something truly monstrous. It may turn into something truly monstrous in the future, and certainly the recorded version works.

Who thought it up? Garcia: I thought it up; it's the first time I've ever had any record cover thoughts, ever... Bonnie Simmons: Did you sit up in bed and go "Oh my God, I'm having record cover thoughts! What does this mean?" Garcia: Well, sorta like that. I didn't really think it was a record cover thought, I thought it was more of a joke, really. It's the idea of "built to last" - kind of pretentious. I wanted to kind of let some of the air out of that idea. So the house of cards, that's the joke. The setup is pretty much exactly the way I imagined it; I just talked it down to the photographer, Ken Friedman, who's a very nice guy and very patient. He set up all of the lighting and so forth, and as it developed I gave him more input. I think looking at it now I would have done it slightly differently, but next time I'll know better. I really wanted the house to loom a little larger and the band to be a little smaller, but because he's a portrait photographer, I had to fight with him on that. He wanted a portrait of the band, I didn't want a portrait of the band. I wanted the band to be insubstantial, shadowy figures in the background, and I wanted the house of cards to be the star of the picture. Annabelle [Garcia, Jerry's daughter] and her friends made the house of cards, did a great job. And Kelley did the lettering, and basically it just kind of fell together at the last minute like it usually does. I'm not totally happy with it, but it came out pretty good. *** Garcia: Well, the world out there, it looks as lame as it ever has, and my own personal world is looking pretty good. Bonnie Simmons: ...scuba diving? Garcia: Yeah, I like to do that. It's fun for me. The music things that I've been doing have been interesting, and ... I wish I had more time to do everything. That would make me real happy, if somehow I could extend - so I could dive in the morning, and record in the afternoon, and go out and play at night. Something like that would be perfect. And I kind of didn't have anything to do in the meantime and didn't have to sleep. And then I could work on my paintings and my graphic art work stuff, and also write that book I've been thinking about, too. Not to mention taking on things like movie soundtracks which I'd like to do, and I'd also like to direct a movie, too. I've got a screenplay - I mean, where you want to go? My life is mostly stuff that I wish I could do and I'm not going to get around to or I'm not going to get time to or I'm not going to get an opportunity to, and that's mostly what it's like, really. And the rest of it is fight to get stuff done, and then on to the next thing, is kind of what it kind of boils down to. And I love it that way, I hope it never changes. But I also hope that I get time, eventually, to concentrate the way I want to on each project. The way I like to work is, I like to exclude everything else when I'm doing something. I don't like to be really working on two things at once. I like to do something, and I do that, and I don't deal with anything else, just that. And I like to do that on every level of my life . It works. Bonnie Simmons: So does this mean that you have excluded other projects while you've been working on the record? Garcia: I'm doing that constantly. You have to exclude stuff because you only have so many life-hours. That's it. I say yes to a lot of things and then don't get a chance to get around to them. There's a lot of things - I'd like to produce more records. I'd like to produce records for other people, that'd be fun for me. There's lots of things that I can do and that I'm good at, relatively, good enough to get myself off, you know what I mean? And things have been working out pretty well. I certainly don't have any complaints.

Notes: The second half of this week's program comes from a concert dubbed "The Sound Test," where the Dead introduced the "Wall of Sound" PA system with which they toured throughout 1974. In a column titled "Quiet! The Dead is playing," San Francisco Chronicle critic John L. Wasserman described it as "clear without being loud, loud without being distorted and as clean as a wax job everywhere in the huge arena. Every note played by each instrument was detectable and definable." Bassist Lesh hit a note in the instrumental bridge of "China Cat Sunflower" that rattled the entire Cow Palace. I felt it all the way across the room, where my friends and I stood awestruck by the Dead's phenomenally clear and articulate new sound system. At the start of "Deal" Bob Weir says, "You can sure tell the ones who won their tickets over the radio," in response to a fan climbing on stage to shake Jerry Garcia's hand. This "Cassidy" was the first live performance of the song and the only one using the arrangement from Bob Weir's 1972 solo album Ace. After this show the song wasn't heard again until the band returned from hiatus in 1976; they played it in the first set of their first "comeback" show (Portland 6/3/76) and it's been a mainstay of the live repertoire ever since. "China Cat Sunflower" and the jam into "I Know You Rider," always a powerful pairing for the Dead, took on some extra juice in '74 with the addition of a chord progression some listeners thought reminiscent of "Uncle John's Band." This performance is a fine example of this wonderful set piece. - D.G.
