Since 2013, Terrapin has performed over 160 shows, live! Each show presents an original interpretation of songs that many have loved and listened to for decades. So the singer is basically sidelined, where the end result is an Estimated Prophet.Terrapin is the ultimate Grateful Dead experience playing an authentic mix of Grateful Dead and other vintage jam-centric music. So either life post-nirvana is scary once the third eye is revealed or the quest turned bad and what he experiences at Terrapin Station is not at all what s/he expected.Ī siding at a station is extra tracks on the side that allow faster trains to move ahead- so either the final destination was a disappointment, or the person on the quest for terrapin makes the station but ends up on the side track not the main track (and they tend to be poorly maintained). I assume At a Siding is where the narrator on this quest to reach cathartic release ends up- it's dark, shadowy, scary, with almost Arabic modal work, and Garcia's guitar lines are not what one would expect at all for someone who's been to nirvana. But what happens after we reach that place? The Dead take a very dark and scary form in At A Siding. What happens once you reach heaven? I think many writers, especially a rock band's approach to it, would end with some hippy-dippy happy "nirvana and bliss and magnificence" music. I think what sets Terrapin suite apart from other hippy-dippy takes on nirvana is what follows after Terrapin Station: At a siding.
terrapin!"īut sometimes I just think Garcia is trying to express what a good hit of heroin is like. He brings us to our personal catharsis and the result expressed in the song is the lead up to the end "and the whistle is screaming. So the song is about a storyteller who does that- his job is to shed light, but not to master. But King Lear's catharsis leads him to blind himself. Every tragic figure- from early Greek plays to Shakespeare to Death of a Salesman- have the tragic figure experience a realization (release of emotions) of what they did that took them off their path- and without that release tragedy would be boring. Catharsis is a greek term- "the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions"- which is inherent in greek tragedy. But I think Hunter/Garcia's take on Terrapin Station is the reaching a moment of catharsis or sacred space. Terrapin is a complex concept because turtles have a long list of symbolic meaning (it is both water/earth elements, the earth sits on a turtle that sits on an infinity number of turtles).
