Jerry Garcia afternoon of March 28, 1981 hotel room, Essen, Germany This is a 48-minute recording of an informal conversation between Jerry Garcia and Ayatolla Hübsch (?), held at Garcia's hotel room in the afternoon before the Rockpalast show. Topics include Illuminati books, islam and the Sikhs. Somewhere in the middle the telephone rings. Jerry picks up and talks to Brent for a moment. At the end Hübsch starts singing a song to Jerry, who then accompanies him on an acoustic guitar. This recording saw minimal circulation when it was reportedly sold in Germany in the 80s. Many thanks are due to Tilli for obtaining a copy of the master cassette. I applied some denoising in SoundForge; the sound is not optimal but still listenable. I don't know much about Hübsch (who contributes at least as much to the conversation as Garcia) except that he was a writer and "beat poet" and he converted to islam in the late seventies.
