No my manhattan time was 82-88
Ramones came around some but their heyday on the Bowery was over
I did go to CBGB....we saw some girls I can’t remember who...
I went to to the Ritz and saw Husker Dü and Julianna Hatfield and got in a fight with someone who groomed my almost by then wife....an orange headed Wall Street looking prepster.....
I went to the Cat Club and saw Iggy Pop too loaded to perform
Saw Jerry Jeff Walker at that Texas joint in the village...can’t remember the name now....looking it up...Lone Star Cafe
Dead played meadowlands all the time for 4-6 dates at a time...I never braved it
My apartment or coop was in the city but I was gone at least half the time...maybe more....we had an office there but my partners parents ran it mostly
I was literally all over the world
How about one weekend?

First night we were there, went to the fairgrounds bathroom and shower and it was co-ed — I said this is going to be a wild weekend.
One birth and one death.
When the Dead came to Syracuse it was like the circus came to town. About 4 days prior the Dead Heads would start showing up in their tie dyed t shirts and bell bottom jeans. They thought it was still the summer of love, Talkin about Jerry Man. They would be selling their beads and other crap. Some even still had old VW buses.
Hey dude, lets drop some acid and see the dead for the umteeth time. F&ckin Slackers
