    Lost Levi Jacket
    This one falls under the "time flies when you're oblivious" category. Set the wayback machine, Sherman! Way, way back in 1983, on the way to the Ventura shows from Huntington Beach, my friends and I stopped at the MacDonald's on Kanan Rd in Agoura off the 101 Freeway for a quick bite. Somehow or another in the process of getting in and out of the car my Levi Jacket fell out, never to be seen again. I didn't notice it was missing until we got to the fairgrounds. I returned to MacDonald's in a frantic search but it was in vain as the jacket was gone and I ended up missing the first set. Didn't care about missing the show but the Jacket had sentimental value to me and couldn't be replaced. It was old and frayed and covered with Grateful Dead patches and buttons and had travelled all over the country with me for about 10 years. To this day I am saddened at losing that jacket so I thought that I would try a search here in case by some wierd coincidence someone out there found it. My only hope after losing it was that someone who was cold or really needed it found it. I refuse to think it was stolen, I know it was an accident and probably just fell out of the car. If someone out there has found it please, please let me know; it was a beloved friend and needs to come home. Thank You ............

    Bass Sheet Music
    I'm learning to play bass (lessons for about a year).Alas, I have been unable to find any books or sheet music that has any bass music for the Dead. Amazon seems to have nothing either. I can't even find much out there for PowerTabs or GuitarPro. I'm afraid my ear isn't trained well enough to pick out more than a few notes from a song. I realize Phil is very improvisational, but there are still key riffs, etc. that I could learn from sheet music. Does anyone know where I can get some of the Dead's basslines? I'm thinking something simple like Bertha to start with, then work up to GDTRFB, but I'd love to play any Dead. I just want to play it right. Thanks

    Concert for my sister;s death
    Hello, I do not want to ruin everything, but I had a sister than went to this concert when I was 6 years old and a drunk driver killed her after this show. This was the last time any of my family would see her. I was hoping you or someone else had a copy of Grateful Dead Live at Deer Creek Music Center on 1990-07-18 in good quality or anything from that show would mean a lot to me. Email me back at indyrdc@yahoo.com Thanks

Thanks so much for the link! I wasn't looking for GD Converse shoe because I didn't realize they existed! I checked out the link and found some cool shoes. We're doing back to school shopping for my 14 year old who also loves the Dead. May order shoes for both of us!

Hi folks, I'm looking for the vendor who sold beautiful coloured tiles with Dead-inspired imagery in the Furthur lot this summer. Saw them in Rochester and came to Lewiston ready to buy but, woes me, they weren't at that show =( If you know who I'm talking about could you please send me a link or a contact? Would love to decorate our kitchen with a little Dead. Thanks! K

peter, I went back and forth on just nuking that post, but to reiterate, don't go soliciting illegal items on this site. For one thing everyone in the world, including the DEA, can read it. For another, it is not cool here. And being coy doesn't really change anything, as just about every cop I've ever encountered is pretty darn familiar with the term 420, and I bet it's true in Cape Cod too.

Haha, I happen to have exactly the same problem as Candyman_Chris above. Northern NJ as well. I plan on dressing like Jerry circa 1970. The problem is that all the places I've searched either have long, straight hippie style hair or these ridiculous looking afros. Nothing that really looks like Jerry. So, like Chris, I'd appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. Either online or in the Northern NJ area. Thanks.

I've exhausted every source at my disposal in an attempt to find a few items as part of my collection from shows I've attended... In specific: A used, but near-mint - mint ticket from Phil's 70th birthday show not to long ago (I had an E-ticket that was lost...) A New Years' poster from 2010 in mint condition (Furthur). A ticket from Saturday Furthur from the last 3 day run at Red Rocks. A (from the sound-board 500 limited release) copy of the LA Forum Dead '09 show w/ Warren Haynes (I got one CD from each show w/ the wristband setup but somehow lost that one as part of my collection). I have many many many things to trade, including signed work, Ipod Nanos with pre-loaded music and tons of extra posters from the past 5 years. Please, if you know where I can come across any of these items or know of a good (better) site that is checked more often by DeadHeads for trading purposes...email me. Dcarter99@aol.com I'm not sure if they have a reply system setup on here that would notify my email box, so please email me after you respond to this post so I can act on it quickly. I must fix the voids in my collection !! =) Cheers, ~d

Check out this site for some pics of some of the ticket stubs of shows you listed that your boyfriend saw. My guess it you could put several of those onto your slideshow. http://www.loathemegacorp.com/deadpieshop/ You might find more pictures or other info on the phillesh website for the other Dead shows you listed. Check your pm for some additional info. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

My first show was ventura july 30 1983. While I had come across some of the shows I had attended back when I was in a position to collect tapes I never came across this show. I've always wonderd if there were any good audience or soundbourd recordings around. Maybe someone knows of a web sight where I can hear my first show.

Hi all, I've been scouring the internet for a certain GD shirt that I once had in college and has since gone missing (well, not really "missing"...according to my dad, my beloved shirt was retired to dust rag status many years ago. Eeek!). It's got the skeleton, the bear, and the turtle playing baseball, and on the back reads "Steal Your Base". If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know! The only one I've been able to find online is on eBay, for $90. Thanks in advance! Cheers, jre7007

Really strange request, but does anyone have the box for the above. Mine got really damaged when renovation work was getting done to our house a couple of years ago, although contents were thankfully intact. I know this request is weird but perhaps someone has transferred all the music to digital and doesn't need the box anymore. I will of course reimburse any expense incurred. Thanks John

I know it's a long shot, but is anyone willing to part with their Fillmore Box Set and Bonus Disc for a reasonable price? These knuckleheads on Ebay and Amazon are way out of line. I understand basic economics of supply and demand and I acknowledge that I won't pay $79.95 like the original purchasers, but $750-$2000? Unfortunately, I wasn't on the bus yet, so I missed out and it is the only official release I do not own. Let me know!

Hello. Please could someone tell me if these are officially licensed merchandise or not please? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230580505731&ssPag… The plastic is thinner than a real pick and the edges are not rounded but sharp and wobbly with nicks as if they had been cut out after printing by hand, or just badly. I don't believe they actually are picks as described, but just printed-on bits of plastic badly cut into a pick shape. The graphics of the 'Anthem of the Sun' and 'Very Best of' ones are not centred like in the auction photo, but to the side and cropped off on one edge. Just wanted to make sure they weren't officially licenced before asking for a refund, to avoid accusing anyone unjustly. Thanks.
