Someone send that link to Ron Bennington ASAP.

He's been battling insomnia for some time now.

<p>I wish I was a headlight - on a northbound train. </p><p>I love the grateful dead but havent listened to them since Jerry passed.&nbsp; Followed them in the late 80s. </p><p>This was very cool thanks for posting it. Garcia is just so funny to listen to - </p><p>Hippys aint so bad. They got their scene and don't really bother anyone. </p>

[Furtherman]

<p>As cool as Hef is... he really just comes off as a clueless shmuck in that clip.</p><p>No matter..&nbsp; awesome clip though.</p>

Weather you like the Dead or not, It's never a bad thing to see Barbie Benton.

Holy crap.&nbsp; Mucky Pup!&nbsp; I remember them.&nbsp; I think I still have a tape of theirs.

[stinkbud]

<p>Very nice!!! I don't think I have ever seen Jerry Garcia so animated on any stage.</p><p>Also, gotta love the mutton chops being sported by Phil Lesh.&nbsp;</p>

<p>i caught part of a documentary and there were a bunch of bands touring and using a train to travel around. janis joplin was sitting there singing along with a couple other musicians on the train and jerry was one of the guitar players... it was pretty damn cool to catch that footage</p><p>EDIT: I found some info on this documentary</p><p><img height="1" alt="" src="http://www.ronfez.net/shared/spacer.gif" width="450" border="0" /><br /><span class="contentHeadline"><a href="http://hartfordadvocate.com/gbase/Film/content?oid=oid:79860" target="_self">All aboard the ghost train</a></span><br /></p><p>Bob Smeaton's <!-- End --><strong><em>Festival Express </em></strong><!-- Begin -->is built around long-lost footage of a booze-fueled 1970 chartered train ride across Canada. Performances by and candid glimpses of Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, the Band, the Buddy Guy Blues Band, Ian and Sylvia's Great Speckled Bird, the Flying Burrito Brothers are on the menu. Hopefully the eventual DVD will include plenty more of the stunning concert footage from festivals in Toronto</p>

That's a movie entitled "Festival Express" . The Dead, Band Janis and a bunch of other bands..really good stuff. The part with Janis and Danko singing totally drunk as hell is worth the price of the DVD.

I've still got two tickets to the Sept. 17, 2000 Phish show at Merriweather Post Pavillion. I'll let them go cheap. You'll have to provide your own time machine.
