A rare interview with Jerry Garcia and Chicago broadcasting legend Studs Terkel has surfaced thanks to a new project cataloguing Terkel’s old recordings, Rolling Stone reports.

The interview took place in 1979 and also featured Rolling Stone / Chicago Sun-Times writer Abe Peck, who was brought in due to Terkel’s lack of rock-and-roll expertise. The three men discuss everything from the changing music scene and the birth of rock-and-roll to violence in the rock music of the day and the Grateful Dead’s experience performing in Egypt. Garcia even speaks on the rise of Bruce Springsteen, whose music he says was “very local.” “What Bruce Springsteen had to say to the kids of New Jersey didn’t apply to the kids in California,” Garcia says. Listen to the full interview below.

The recording is one of a mass of other interviews Terkel conducted on his show from 1952 to 1997. A Kickstarter campaign has been launched for The Studs Terkel Radio Archive Online, an effort to catalogue, transcribe and share 1000 of the best interviews. The campaign’s video calls Terkel one of the “forefathers of today’s podcast scene and radio storytelling revolution.”
