Dedicated to John Perry Barlow
| Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band with Eric Krasno |
| Thursday February 8, 2018 |
Terrapin Crossroads, San Rafael CA
The show opened with a beautiful Attics Of My Life, Phil Lesh, Alex Koford, Grahame Lesh – with Grahame’s guitar the sole instrument. Phil then spoke, a brief and beautiful eulogy to Grateful Dead lyricist John Perry Barlow. He said that tonight’s performance would be dedicated to Barlow, and the show included some of his songs, as well as plenty of songs that JPB would love to dance too. We mourn his loss, and celebrate his spirit. And we keep on dancing. On the original setlist, they were going to play “He Was A Friend of Mine”, which many of us in the room could say… the show ran long, and they kept the encore to one song, Box of Rain. Such a long long time to be gone, and a short time to be… to be…
We love you John – safe passage to the next adventure. And Thank you Phil Lesh, for your eloquent words, beautiful music, and the love you bring. We are truly blessed to be part of this Terrapin Nation.
Always grateful,
Happycat!

(the following was copied from JPB on Facebook and Twitter)
I realized at about 6:00 Tuesday afternoon that the unthinkable was becoming real and started tweeting about it. But Twitter releases everything “upside-down” and requires severe brevity.
So I’ve decided to reassemble them into something like prose, yielding this micromanifesto:
For the first time ever,I am truly ashamed of my country. I thought of Americans as kind, decent, generous, fair, rational… Guess not. This is a terrible time for me to consider exile. But I don’t want to share the American Dream with those who are tone-deaf to its melody.
My family has been in America for 400 years on each side. But now it feels as if I’m being chased out newcomers who think they own the place. My first reaction has been to haul out my list of escape hatches from previous near lunges (Viet Nam, Reagan, both Bushes, etc.): Vancouver, Rio, Michoacán, St. Barthe’s, Provence, Laos, Belize, Hong Kong, but…
I find people turning to me for reassurance and advice. And hell, I’m American as it gets, and I realize this may actually provide an opportunity to restore America to greatness in *my* sense of the term: to show the world that we *are* as generally decent as we’re thought to be, that America *is* as dedicated to its founding principles as ever, perhaps more so.
Despite our elevation of a thorough creep to *lead* us, we can be guided by our “better angels.” We can isolate this toxic asshole and prevent his hatreds, arrogance, bigotry, fear, and ignorance from defining our National Character in the eyes of the world.
No! Now is the time to dig in, stand tall, and be *real* American patriots.

Members of Grateful Dead, RatDog, K I M O C K, String Cheese Incident, Talking Heads, Dark Star Orchestra, and Sean Lennon, Les Claypool, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and more perform a benefit for John Perry Barlow at the Sweetwater. The show was streamed to Barlow who was not there. The money raised is to support John’s ongoing health and support. More information:
There we’re so many great things going on this evening musically, as we all gathered in Mill Valley to support and raise money for the great magical wizard of a man John Perry Barlow. I borrow that description for Michael Kang, of The String Cheese Incident ho was one of the many musicians there giving tributes and performing songs of John Perry Barlow, for the people who bought some very expensive tickets to support the cause of helping him with his health care and recovery. As is often the case I was the benefactor someone’s else’s generosity, and very grateful to be there. I took a few pictures and shot a few videos which will be up later, and of course our ace setlists reporter Bob Scalcione was there on the scene taking notes and staying up till 3:30 in the morning so that I could post this at 111am… Thanks Bob! Sorry it took me so long!!!
LENNON NEVER KNOWS
There were some performances of historic importance, such as a version of the John Lennon Beatles psychedelic classic Tomorrow Never Knows, performed by his son Sean Lennon, who doesn’t often do his dad’s songs… Sean also played a song of his own, co-written with Charlotte Kemp Muhl, from their band Ghost Of a Sabre Toothed Tiger, and shared how Barlow (friend of both) didn’t like the chorus when the song was first debuted for his ears only,which was the part written by Sean. But they kept it in the song anyway. Sean is also in a band with Les Claypool of Priimus, who joined them on bass for these two. Les and Sean quipped their band was named “Scorpions” and they mostly did Boz Scaggs covers.
BOB AND JERRY
|Another real big highlight of the show was Jerry Harrison, keyboardist of the Talking Heads, who spoke of his friendship with Barlow, and also got all choked up as he mentioned what rough year it has been, with the passing of Bernie Worrell – the great keyboardist who played with the TH aas well as many bands with many of themusiicians on stage, as well as Prince and David Bowie… Opening his set with the Talking Hhads song Heaven, sang by his own daughter, Aishlin Harrison. Followed by a performance of Take Me to the River, the Al Greene classic that was also a standard for the Talking Heads. Bob Weir joined in on TMTTR ~ this was a song that the Grateful Dead also performed a few times in their later years. Jerry moved to guitar, and did a song from his pre Heads band Modern Lovers, She Cracked, segued into his tribute Lou Reed’s Velvet Undergound rocker “White Light/White Heat” done in the style of David Bowie.
Michael Kang, Jason Hann and Michael Travis did a couple String Cheese Incident songs co penned by John Perry Barlow, with Bob Weir joining in near the end.
Rob Eaton and Rob Barraco of the Dark Star Orchestra did a killer Mexicali Blues, another Barlow classic, as well as a Robert Hunter tune, Jack Straw, for good measure. Rather uniquely Eaton sang most of the lyrics the song usually being a conversation between two voices.
Bob was in and out of every set, and Lukas Nelson also made many appearances throughout. There was an opening set for the VIP big donors, with Weir, Lukas Nelson, and others, that we did not get the details on… Most sets were only 2 or 3 songs, and the Barlow Band, Steve Kimock, Jeff Chimenti, Wally Ingram and Leslie Mendelson backed up as needed, and detailed in the setlist below…
