SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- An amazing set of handwritten working lyrics for the Grateful Dead's Doin' That Rag from their 1969 third studio album, Aoxomoxoa, have surfaced for the first time for public sale. Penned collaboratively by the band's creative brain trust of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, and gifted by Garcia to the band's former publicist, this remains, to date, the only known set of lyrics to a published Grateful Dead song written in the hands of both Garcia and Hunter.
"Handwritten lyrics are some of the most coveted relics by collectors," said Jeff Woolf, President of Iconic Auctions. "It's a true honor to be able to represent something of this nature that was used by a legendary duo like Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter to create an original Grateful Dead song. It's the first time that published lyrics from this iconic duo have ever come to the market, and early interest in this piece has been overwhelming. We are expecting an exciting response from the collecting community on auction day."
The lyrics stand as the marquee item in Iconic Auctions' online-only Fall Feature Auction of Autographs & Memorabilia.
