Jerry Garcia Compositions

This page lists songs and jams composed or co-composed by Jerry Garcia. A number of the entries in the list are jams that were performed during shows or rehearsals that were subsequently given titles when released on recordings.

The columns to the left indicate broadly who has performed or recorded the song. For this list 'Jerry Garcia groups' includes all Garcia led or co-led groups such as JGB, Old & In The Way and Garcia/Grisman. The 'Other' column includes post-GD such as Furthur and The Dead as well as groups that are not directly connected to the Grateful Dead.

For detailed information about a particular song select the 'info' button for that song.

Jerry Garcia was a founder member of the Grateful Dead. The list includes songs and jams that are credited to the Grateful Dead rather than individual members of the group.

It is intended that this list will eventually be comprehensive but is probably falling short of this at present. Additions, corrections and comments are welcome
