Private Show in Monte Rio

Post by **phjim** » August 1, 2006 8:32 pm

Jimmy did a private show in Monte Rio, California with Mickey Hart on the weekend of July 22nd and 23rd.

From Matt: Jimmy was out in Sonoma County for the Bohemian Club's annual meeting at the Bohemian Grove. A friend of mine is part of the wait staff out there, and he pulled all of the staff together and played for them for a couple of hours.

Bohemian Grove is a 2700-acre (11 km²) campground located at 20601 Bohemian Ave, Monte Rio, California 95462[1] belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's fine arts club known as the Bohemian Club. Every year (since 1899) Bohemian Grove is the location of a two-week (covering three weekends) encampment, beginning in the middle of July, of some of the most powerful men in the world.

The Bohemian Club's membership includes many artists, particularly musicians, as well as many high-ranking business leaders, government officials (including some US Presidents) and senior media executives. As a measure of the Club's exclusivity, it is reported the waiting list for membership is from 15 to 20 years, though a fast-track, 3 year membership process is possible. A prospective member must be sponsored by two current members.

After 40 years of membership the men earn "Old Guard" status, giving them reserved seating at the Grove's daily talks, as well as other perks. Members may also invite guests to the Grove, who are subject to a rigorous screening procedure. These guests come from across America and overseas. Californian guests are generally limited to attendance at the "Spring Jinks", in June, preceding the main July encampment.

The Grove motto is "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here", which implies that outside concerns and business deals are to be left outside. However, there is demonstrable evidence of political and business deals having been developed at the Grove. The Grove is particularly famous for a Manhattan Project planning meeting that took place there in September of 1942, which subsequently led to the atomic bomb. Those attending, apart from Ernest Lawrence and military officials, included the president of Harvard and representatives of Standard Oil and General Electric. Grove members take particular pride in this event and often relate the story to new attendees.[2]

Does anyone remember during the "Salty piece of land" reading/concert (that was broadcast through movie theatres nationwide around Christmas 2 years ago), JB announced that he and some of the Dead band members had been discussing a possible show together?
I haven't heard any more talks about this possible dream show, but the mention of Mickey and Jimmy doing a show together got me thinking about it. Could this exclusive show have been the dream dead/parrott concert menitoned by Jimmy?
I hope not,

pretty scary "old-boys" club. I doubt the "leave your weavings outside the grove" is iron-clad.

and maybe it's me, but why do I get a picture of these guys showing up in Airstream RVs with mahogany/teak interiors rather than being out in pup tents under the stars?
