I got a hold of a tape of 3-1-69 when I was a teenager. Blew my mind.

Do you know the Bobby /climbing history? Did you ever hear of Johnny, Les and Ryan DeVoe ?
Well I did not think so. Some time back, I mean way way back '63or '64. The story goes that two of Bobby's good friend's got the chop climbing at different places in Cali. on the same weekend. (Maybe one got badly hurt or one died?)
Both had wanted Bob to join them, so as to not have to pick, he said no to both and went and saw that ugly fat guy in some band. When neither buddy was in school the next Monday Bob Weir stopped being a budding rock climber, turned to singing and the guitar, joined The band, and the rest you know.
The DeVoe family was Bobs mothers' brother. Uncle and cousins, and his adopted very well healed east cost family from where he gets his interest in property ownership and there is nothing wrong with owning real estate. Ryan the oldest, was a climber. All three were touring heads, "family" from the late '70s, thru the juveniles & junkie days of the early '90s. After much long strange tripping, Johnny, the youngest, died of an overdose, just a few years before the fat man went down that road.
I met Ryan in the Gunks , stayed at the DeVoe home in Rhode Island, climbed and saw shows around the country (never toured the world the way Les and Johnny did) we would go to 'Will Call at venue ticket booths and get set up with very special 'all arena' passes that let us go front to back stage and also in Philly. and Buffalo to the Stones shows. . AIKO AIKO `/;.D

1979,The Mason Jar,Henrietta,New York,One great room/bar.
I was a barback/tender.Max Creek,a regional Dead like band was playing and they where/are still good.
The owner of the bar,John Burdock,was good friends with Hunter.They had traveled together.John had a cottage on Honeoye Lake.The Grateful Dead would stay there over the years ,in summer,then play Ithaca,Rochester,Buffalo,Syracuse ,Toronto,etal in late summer shows.
It must have been pretty cool to see one of them water skiing .[friends say they have]
So,Max Creek,was jamming,the 150 or so in the room where content.Burdock comes in and tells me and Toby ,the REAL bartender, to take care of these two guys ,all night.
They drank Alabama Slammers ,by the picture.Where very wide eyed and Cool.
It was Mickey Hart and Phil Lesh.
The real funny part about it was me and Toby were the only people in a crowd that knew,and none of them caught on.
Was lucky to party with them after.
