Listen "Barton Hall Echoes: Deadhead Stories with Seth"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when two old friends return to Ithaca, New York, to sneak into Barton Hall — the site of the Grateful Dead’s legendary May 8, 1977 show? In this episode, I sit down with my college friend Seth in the bleachers of Barton Hall and reflect on the music that drew us back. We talk about the Dead’s history at Cornell, the lore of 5/8/77, and how Seth’s journey later intersected with the band when his company designed posters and t-shirts for a fundraiser featuring Bob Weir and Mickey Hart. From campus mischief to behind-the-scenes connections, this conversation blends memory, music, and the enduring pull of the Grateful Dead.
