But she must not have been there, because I remember a lot of times driving through France in these two buses, with 52 hippies… it'd be 4:00 in the afternoon, and we’d be really hungry. One of the things that I just remember… Rosie wasn't there, because Rosie speaks French-born in Paris, speaks fluent French.
JON McINTIRE : W e had two buses - like 52 people. īOB WEIR : W e'd hit multiple and varied truckstops to the amazement and consternation of the locals. This next bit of Bob Weir comes from David and Marty Martinez’s 1995 interview with him, and it’s followed by an interview David did with the Dead’s late manager Jon McIntire. As always, we’re standing on the shoulders of heads, and specifically David Gans. JESSE: The Bozo bus and the Bolo bus took the two-day overland route from Hamburg to Paris with an overnight stop in Konigswinter. A lot more.ĪUDIO: “China Cat Sunflower” (0:00-0:13). But, to paraphrase the great music documentarian Marty DiBergi, they got more. That would change significantly when they got to Paris, where-in the comfortable confines of the Olympia Theatre -they found a welcoming crowd of heads and captured more than twice that: 5 live Dead recordings that virtually every head knows. But in the course of the tour’s first 10 performances, they’d only caught two songs that would make it to the original Europe ‘72 triple-LP. They had been in Europe for exactly a month and had plenty of adventures and made some fantastic music. JESSE: Late on May Day 1972, the Grateful Dead arrived in France.
