"... We borrowed it all from Coltrane. I started encouraging everybody in the band to listen to John Coltrane - 'Check it out, see what these guys do.' They take one chord, the tonic chord, and just play all over it. 'We can do that too!'

I shouldn't say 'I,' though - Jerry Garcia was behind it the whole way."
