Moby Grape Co-founder and Guitarist Jerry Miller Dies at 81

Moby Grape co-founder, guitarist and songwriter Jerry Miller has died at 81.

Miller died July 20 at his home in Washington state, according to media reports. No cause was given.

“He will be missed,” said a post on Country Joe & the Fish’s Facebook page.

Moby Grape released four influential albums during its initial 1966-’69 run and reunited occasionally over the ensuing decades. The first album, in particular, was “no joke, one strong track after another,” Tom Constanten said.

“I have only the most wonderful memories of Jerry Miller, both as a person and as a musician,” the former Grateful Dead keyboardist said. “He was thoughtful and supportive, onstage and off. It was not just the way he played, he was just as good as a listener.”

Miller went on to session work and became a local legend in Washington where he played regular, outdoor gigs with his eponymous Trio at Acorn Brewing during the pandemic.

“Honestly, the crowd they drew here got us through the worst of it, and we will forever be grateful,” the venue said of “one of the greatest guitarists of all time.”

Miller contributed to Bill Cutler’s 2008 album Crossing the Line, years after inspiring the musician with such Grape compositions as “8:05.”

“He was one of the greatest lead guitarists in rock,” Cutler said. “Jerry had a unique style and rich tone that was unforgettable, and he wrote some classic songs. … I will miss him for the rest of my days.“

Country Joe & The Fish ~ Vietnam song

Well, come on all of you, big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again He's got himself in a terrible jam Way down yonder in Vietnam So put down your books and pick up a gun We're gonna have a whole lotta fun

And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Come on Wall Street, don't be slow Why man, this is war au-go-go There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb They drop it on the Viet Cong

And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Well, come on generals, let's move fast Your big chance has come at last Now you can go out and get those reds 'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead And you know that peace can only be won When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come

And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die

Come on mothers throughout the land Pack your boys off to Vietnam Come on fathers, and don't hesitate To send your sons off before it's too late And you can be the first ones in your block To have your boy come home in a box

And it's one, two, three What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn Next stop is Vietnam And it's five, six, seven Open up the pearly gates Well there ain't no time to wonder why Whoopee! we're all gonna die
