    i was a part of the late eighties, early nineties tour scene spending most time off in the Haight, Santa Cruz and Humboldt areas. I'm just looking for some folk I used to hang and travel with. I've been living back in Canada for the past 10 yrs, so I've fallen out of touch with just about everyone. Drop me a line if you might remember me. thanx.

    Was in a band way back there in1972. We were bored kids in the neighborhood...and we started a little garage band that grew out of some bongos a mic and a tape recorder...an old guitar and a basement piano. We got focused and scraped up some bucks with odd jobs, paper routes and allowances. Before long, we built us a little PA, upgraded to "big" amps and a few Shure mics. I added a 2nd hand pearl drum kit to my bongo jams and off we went. A strobe light and our own patch-it- together lights and we got us a few gigs at party's and the school dance. Never had so much fun in my life. We called ourselves Spectrum and or Freight Train...There was another local band that was called Earth Spirit...We made all of $75 for the dance but after the split it worked out to $11 and change and it was worth every penny to see those people dancin'. Jim Moore on keyboard, Andy Ferretti and Rick Blais on guitar. Mark Izard on Bass...Jeff Mantooth singin' his heart out and I rolled the sticks. Some of the set included; Revival, Down By The River, Walk Away, It Don't Come Easy, Are You Ready, Guitar Gently Weeps....the rest will come to me as I let the memory return through the years. If you guys are out there touch base please. It would be a trip. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land" Robert Hunter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Oakland 93, I GAVE you a backstage pass during the show
    I'm looking for that guy I met at the Chinese New Year's shows in Oakland, '93. My first show, and this guy showed me the ropes, introduced me to the love of the scene and I was amazed, overwhelmed, lost, and tripping hard all at the same time. Can't remember his name, but I can quote him. It was set break. and I asked if that was it....did I miss a lot? He says "Is it over? You thought that was the end of the show? Hell no, it ain't over yet, that was just the first set! Stick around brother." I gave him a backstage pass I had acquired cuz I was so happy just to be where I was at. Skipped the chance to meet Jerry so an old fan that was just so kind to me could realize a dream. What a way to meet the Grateful Dead, huh!?!? I'm also looking for Almish Nelterson, or a copy of his book, "WOW". It should be bright orange, with big letters say WoW. This book was being distributed at the Shoreline shows in '94. I also want to say hi to Teach, Shaggy from Oklahoma, everyone in Vegas, Tulsa, Reno, Montreal, and Susanville that still search for the sound. @DarkStarGazer@ wishes all well and good.

Searching for that young woman who I miracled into the show back in the 90's. Not much going on here just another late night thinking about the project ahead of me! Yawn. Where did all those people go? Well, I must be getting older. Time for some ZZZZZ's.

Yeah, I might have to make a internet show of photos the way things are going these days.

Hello! I’m the daughter of Perry Green. She passed when I was 5 so I’m trying to dig through her history in hopes of learning more about her. I’d assume she traveled throughout California shows in the late 70s- early 80s. She was beautiful, kind and had a great laugh :)

We connected after I left FL. I posted a " missed connection" on CL and a friend told you about it. Since then, you have disappeared; someone told you to "break ties with your past" Well, I disagree! ( for what that's worth.) I told you I think of you when I see Orion in the Eastern Sky. He rises in the winter when we met at the " Warf" where Crazy Fingers would play on Thursdays. I hope you or a friend sees this and asks you to reach out. I sure miss you.
sincerely
Ruddy

My lovely wife Sue worked for Emily K in Santa Barbara around 1980, and she had a coworker named Karen Mariott, who was from Ventura, Ca. We became friends with Karen and husband Bill, who lived in Ventura. I last saw Bill in Ojai in 1985.
They went to shows with the Beanie Copter Crew, in CalTrans orange.
Karen used to bake goodies for Harry Popick, who mixed stage monitors
We lost track of them many years ago, and hope to reconnect..

Hi! I am trying to find Marcus, the shakedown street vendor artist who creates the soft black Tshirts screen printing a white pirate stealie with swords on the front. I would like to support this artist by purchasing 4 shirts from him as I did not have the money while at the last two shows - in NY and in PA. Thank you so much!!!

Looking for an old friend from the early 80s's. His name was Skip, and attended many shows in that period, selling shirts and other things he made. He also had a store selling his dead shirts and other similar items in Queens, NY in 1983, when i knew him. Any one know who i am talking about and any idea if he is still with him and how to contact him?

It's been 30 years now since we last hitchhiked across across the land from sea to sea to sea over mountains across endless plains through National parks and forests through a desert or two north south east west whichever way the flip of a lucky quarter directed us to go . It's been 15 years or so since we last kicked around a hackysack somewhere near Dayton Ohio . You met and married your wife there and had started a family . We lost contact after that day . Never thought that as I drove away it would be the last time we would see or talk to each other. I tried to get in touch with you through Willie a couple years ago only to find that he had passed away ( my condolences he was a good friend and brother ) . I know this is a long shot since you have no presence anywhere on the net that I can find which is not a surprise considering where and how you were living and I assume still are . If by chance you should come across this message just know that your legend lives forever in memories with kind smiles . Peace be the journey and blessed be thy thumb . Hope you are well and that we will meet again if not in this lifetime then in the next .

It just makes me a bit sad that so many people are looking for folks that made an indelible impression on them. Do they find each other and reunite? Could they use this site to do that? I want to see a success story! Please! Here Comes Sunshine…!

We attended some shows together and parted ways, and lost each other for 19 years

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny!!!!! I know you!! I don't actually. I know of you because back somewhere between 95-98, I was in Santa Cruz when my friend Paul Rush rode his motorcycle all the way from Delaware to hopefully meet up with me. Unfortunately I had left to go back to PA three days before his arrival. We wrote many letters back and forth, and Paul wrote about you, and how you had helped him when he first got to Santa Cruz. I'm hoping you know of some way to reach him because somehow we lost touch and I've been looking for him for many many years. My name is Tarah Smith- aka Cordy. My email address is autodidact43@outlook.com

Hey now!

Anyone know how to find the person or people in charge of licensing for Dead-related stuff?

I'm trying to navigate through Rhino and the only licensing stuff I can find seems to be about music. What about gear?

Thanks in advance for any help or answers provided!

Anyone know this lady Deadhead? She made these beautiful hand-painted parking lot shirts in 1980. I bought one. They were a limited edition of 100. I just wonder if she is still around. Thanks.

Looking for Cindy Wright. Bay Area deadhead who used to work at BASS tickets and who was seeing the Dead since her first show at the closing of the Fillmore West in July 1971. She lived in Oakland or Alameda but was originally from Modesto or some other Central Valley time. Message me on twitter at @DrBeechwood if you have any info!

Tobin and I attended July 10th 1987 Dylan/Dead show in Philly together and he got lost en route to the venue! We also went to the same high school, Bullis, in Potomac, MD circa 86-87. I'd love to run into him again and catch up.
I knew Domo from school too. Good times.
Is anybody else out there a dead head from Bullis HS in the late 80's? Did you attend our little Trips festival we had in Fall '86 at school during 'Recreation Day' or some such thing?

I'm Joe. I live in the west of Ireland.

I am looking for a pen pal to write real pen and paper letters... share memories of the Grateful Dead, and stories about Ireland.

I write poetry and shun technology. I have no email... a friend Dave is posting on my behalf. I am 74 years old. Let me know if you would like me to write a real old snal mail ;-)
