Banda norte-americana formada em 1965 em San Francisco - capital do movimento hippie - que ficou famosa pelo seu estilo único porém, eclético. Suas composições envolviam elementos do rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country, psicodélico e jazz.
A banda se apresentava em longos shows repletos de improvisação. 'A música deles alcança níveis que a maioria dos outros grupos sequer sabiam da existência.', escreveu Lenny Kaye, guitarrista de Patti Smith.

GCG Once upon a time there was an engineer GAD Drove a locomotive both far and near GC Accompanied by a monkey who would sit on a stool GADG Watchin' everything the engineer would move
One day the engineer wanted a bite to eat Left the monkey sittin' on the driver's seat The monkey pulled the draw the locomotive jumped the gun And did ninety miles an hour down the main line run
GCG Big locomotive right on time GAD Big locomotive comin' down the line GC Big locomotive number ninety-nine GADG Left the engineer with a worried mind
The engineer called up the dispatcher on the phone Tell him all about his locomotive was gone Get on the wire switch operator to write Cause the monkey's got the main line sewn up tight
Switch operator got the message in time Said There's a north bound livin' on the same main line Open up the switch I'm gonna let him through the hole Cause the monkey's got the locomotive under control
