Hi there!

I'd also like to know the story of this supercombo, and

I think theres a boot called "Blind Date Revisited" which was an upgrade on earlier versions and features the 2nd CNIB show in excellent soundboard quality
Mick didnt want to tour with the Stones in 1979, but Ronnie was putting a band together to promote "Gimme Some Neck", so - as Keith put it "well..the Stones arent going to tour, so where do I find the nearest band - ah..Ronnie's!"
Their first shows were the 2 CNIB benefits in Oshawa, near Toronto as part of Keith's 'sentence' following his trial in 1978. He was ordered to perform a concert for the blind within 6 months, and so put a band together to do the shows, with a couple of days to spare. The Stones' were actually surprise guests, and werent on the bill. Quite a surprise guest for sure. |

I was at the Blind Dates....Bought my tix for both shows from a blind guy..His mother had to be there for the exchange so I wouldnt palm him ones I guess!.Show starts and we move right up front...no one "saw" us...Stones werent much of a surprise as we knew they were in town.Sound on Revisited is quite good for the time.Key Largo is also good too at least the cd.The DVD I have is okay but certainly not better than 7/10. |

Woody's website offers some New Barbarian merch - t-shirts, mugs.
as for the band's story... well, here's some tidbits...
* they toured the country playing sold out stadiums in a private jet that they won from Led Zeppelin after a bet to see who could fuck more groupies in one night.
* since the jet had a giant Led Zeppelin logo on the side of it, they figured they were immune to being blamed for any illegal activity and decided to use the jet to go on drug runs to Columbia in between gigs.
* tickets for the tour were printed on packs of E-Z Wider. And were only available thru mail order.
* they hired The Who as an opening act. But immediately after being blown off the stage by The Barbarians on the opening night, The Who quit the tour, weeping in disgrace.
* every other act they booked also quit weeping. So they just decided to forego having an opening act and just came out and played 6 hour sets.
* The tour was sponsored by Jim Beam. After the 3rd week of the tour, Jim Beam withdrew its sponsorship because it they were on the verge of bankruptcy after their entire supply of bourbon was nearly consumed by the band.
* Ronnie & Keith had a custom 2-man mic stand built with attached ashtrays. The roadies got tired of having to empty the ashtray after every 3rd song, so the ashtray was replaced with a large troth.
* Jeff Beck was one of the roadies. Stevie Wonder was in charge of the lighting.
* Charlie's Angels became their groupies. Farrah quit the show because Bobby Keys knocked her up.
* Izzy Stradlin's mom had a three-way with Mac & Woody. DNA tests were never done and the father still remains a mystery.
* they were scheduled to play Saturday Night Live. The band spent 3 days leading up to the show rehearsing and partying with the SNL crew. Ronnie & Keith were even scheduled to appear in 3 comedy skit but the show was cancelled because 3/4ths of the SNL cast had been partying too hard with the Barbians and overdosed the night before show. Thus, the NB never made a TV performance.
* Allegedly they wrote, recorded and mixed an entire double album one night in less than 5 hours in the studio. Unfortunately, at the request of their good friend Bob Dylan, never released a studio album. Dylan begged them not to release the album because the lyrics were so amazing and ground breaking that Bob feared it would make his entire career seem "irrelevant" and "unimportant". In Bob's honor, the tapes were sealed in a vault and dropped into the sea.
* Despite the album never seeing the light of day, The Barbarians won 9 Grammy's that year. Still a record to this day.
* Jimmy Carter personally invited them to the White House. They blazed 3 pounds of kind in the Oval Office. Shot speedballs in the Lincoln Bedroom. Keith stabbed 4 Secret Service agents after a fight broke out during a game of billiards. At 11am the next day Keith & Ronnie were sworn in as honorary FBI agents.
* One night, after a gig in Detroit, The New Barbarians invented crack.
* On each Sunday night they performed secret gigs as the House Band at the Playboy Mansion inside "The Grotto"
* Jann Wenner sold his ownership of Rolling Stone magazine because the other share holders refused to change the name of the magazine to New Barbarians.
* One night after the show, while en route to the airport, their limo ran out of gas. Keith invented a concoction of crushed emphatamines, mandrax and Jack Daniels that doubled as motor oil and got them to the airport on time.
* Keith & Ronnie were the only 5-time winners on "Battle of The Network Stars".
* They were pictured on a box of Wheaties. It was only sold in Jamaica
* a copy of their Tour Rider Contract recently surfaced on the Smoking Gun website. The Rider stipulated that they were to be provided with a massage table, one dozen Geisha girls "with a morally casual attitude", 197 valium pills lined out on a silver tray in the form of the initials "N.B.", 6 cases of Jack Daniels, one large hunting knife for opening said bottles, 52 cases of Coors lager, horse tranquilizers, snooker table, 2 four-foot mirrors placed horizontal next to each other across a folding table, a jukebox loaded with the entire record library of Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Williams and Muddy Waters, The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, one kiddie pool filled with jello, one kiddie pool filled with honey, 8 tanks of nitrox oxide, balloons, straws ("lots of straws"), midgets, moonshine, lighter fluid, a 6-foot Hookah pipe, 7 briefcases filled with unmarked one hundred dollar bills, 36 rounds of ammo and 24 cartons of Marlboro Reds - individually emptied, dipped in fine Columbian and repacked.
* Muddy Waters once said "The blues had a baby. And they named it 'The New Barbarians'"
* John Lennon described them as "bigger than Jesus"

Any and all with an interest in the Barbarians should check out Dime for the audience shot DVD of one of the CNIB shows (not a full set, but in color), now being seeded |

For a "supergroup" I thought they sucked. But then again, I've never heard any soundboards from the tour. |

er ... it was Ronnie's band and tour, put together to promote Gimme Some Neck, and the timing just happened to be perfect for Keith's situation. the band was perfect too - they offer nothing more than ear-to-ear violence! just beautiful :E
i've tracked down something like 10 recordings of Barbarians shows, plus three rehearsal sessions - yes the Barbarians rehearsed! :E great great stuff ... as far as i know, there's footage from four shows in circulation: fragments of the CNIB and San Diego gigs (really poor quality, though!), Largo and Knebworth (both great!); and don't forget the CD and DVD of the 1974 Kilburn gig performed by what's fondly known in some circles as the Baby Barbarians - that is mighty mighty fine!
meanwhile, some good Barbarian photos and stories can be found here:

and one of my (many!) personal favourites:
- 1979, of course - don't know who took it
they appeared to be of human origin :E |
