According to the below he managed Cheney's first electoral campaign. Crazy -- guessing they shared the same libertarian/anti-big goverment beliefs. Didn't know he was inolved with Burning Man, too. https://burners.me/tag/john-perry-barlow/

Parrish tells some nice stories about Barlow on the above radio show, too. I guess Barlow and John Kennedy were friends. Of all the people in the GD cirlce - I think Barlow has to be the most known and influential outside the Dead circle. Crazy that him and Weir got hooked up in their youth.
-
Great news about Malkmus -- plus he is playing Thalia Hall on June 3rd - definitely will catch that one. Must admit wasn't a huge fan of his last one. Bit too mellow.
-
Nice radio show from last night. McNally tells a nice story of Barlow working as the Dead's tour manager for the June '80 tour. https://kpfa.org/episode/dead-to-the-world-february-7-2018/

Definitely had a rough last couple of years. Was a very interesting, smart guy. Glad he was able to put up with Weir and write some great tunes. Message from his Electronic Frontier Foundation. http://electronic frontier foundation Definitely not a good way to start a new thread...

Starting with the 1st show with horns - 9.11.73. I am sure have listened to it before. Always enjoyed The Race is On - wonder why Weir dropped it, for the most part, after 74. It would have fit nicely during his cowboy segments of the 80s/90s. Always enjoyed Donna's vocals on the 73/74 versions.

What about horns with the Dead during Sept. 73 tour? Can't say I am too, too famillar with any of the shows. I don' think much or any from Sept. 73 has been offically released. http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2012/01/horn-tour-september-1973-tour-itinerary.html

La-La is pretty bad, the last few minutes or so of it are a bit interesting, but the rest goes nowhere.
-
1969 had Winona Ryder - of course it was great! I do remember that 'costumes' were a little too much 1969, though. It seemed like it was TV alot back then - I remember watching it a bit.
-
Never heard of it. Must have been piggy backing off of that 1969 movie - I do remember watching that one (Downey Jr., etc) - looks like they both came out in 88. Someone should have made it a trilogy with a '67.
-
From Jonathan Demme to Daryl Hannah. I always forget that Neil and Daryl are a thing.
-
I think Mickey hurt his collar bone in summer of 77 - car accident. Billy's wrist was in a cast while in Eygpt - 78.

With regards to the 'verge of falling apart' during the 11/6/77 show- I read that they partook in various substances/drink between sets, which is why the 1st set was a bit more tighter than the 2nd. It was the last show of the tour - so I guess they were enjoying themselves. At times, I like the 'loosness' of the Fall 77 shows. It depends on my mood on which I prefer. Who was Mickey's "coach"?
-
The Jan/Feb 2018 issue of The Atlantic has a great piece on Russia and their 2016 meddling - well worth the read.
-
Typically, I watch the State of Union addresses - definitely will be skipping tonight. Honestly, I don't think I could get through it. Watched his address to Congress for a few minutes last year, but couldn't get through it all.
-
Snug Harbor email me back stating they are booked. So it is will be same exact campsite that we stayed at 2 years ago.
-
I think the band use to stay at some resort on Lake Geneva when they were playing at Alpine, too.
-
I think he means security - could be wrong. Looks like we will be staying at the same exact campsite that we stayed when they played up there in 2016. Other than sleeping and eating breakfast -we never hang much at the camp-sight anyways. We are typically in the lot by late morning. Though over the years the time we hung around the site - we never had any issues.
-
We always stayed at Kettle Moraine in the past. Have an email into Snug Harbor.
-
We need to book camping, still. Definitely should to coordinate a meet-up. It will be the first back to back night " Dead" run for my wife and a buddy of ours - should be a hoot.
-
Did you end up getting tickets for both nights - Winston? Again going in, I figured lawn tickets would be available for a bit after the initial on sale time --- it is still kind of amazing the draw of this latest incarnation. Not that I don't think they warrant it, per se - it just surprises me.
-
Grabbed pavilion seats for Sat and Lawn for Fri at Alpine. I had pavilion seats in my Q for Friday, too - but tossed them back. Couldn't see spending the dough on those seats for both nights.
-
I tried on Monday and only Lawn tickets were popping up - gonna wait until Friday and see if i can find pavilion seats. If I do pull pavilion seats probably will back down when I see the total price and settle for lawn.

Having kids I think of the kid's tune 'Tiny Destroyer'.... Listening to Destroyer's Rubies now via Spotify - hopefully it erases the TIny Destroyer from my head.
