Chronicles of Akasha

Heads might be interested in an online graphic novel called Chronicles of Akasha, which begins with Kesey and Cassady and the Merry Pranksters' bus ride across America in 1964. It's got a lot of other stuff as well, like time travel and alternate realities. The main heroes are a veteran of the MK-ULTRA experiments in Menlo Park and a Native American medicine man.

The best Rock songs of all times by Julian Jerman

Hi friends, Julian Jerman ( one of most impartial experts in contemporary music ) has published ( on its website jayinteractive.com ) the best Rock songs of all times in a list named "Classic-ALL-Ynspired" accessible from the link "Jay Radio player" in the main page. He selected there 10 songs for our Dead! His objectivity is exemplary considering that he admitted some sympathy for the Doors, Pink Floyd and Supertramp ( the songs included for these 3 bands are quantitatively lower than those of the Grateful Dead )

New series from Deadvids.com!

Hey kind folks! I wanted to let you all know about a new series you might want to check out. Each month, Deadvids.com hosts a series/show called My First Grateful Dead Show. I host the show and each month a member guest hosts with me and we listen to their very first Grateful Dead show that they attended, and I interview them with 20 questions. During the interview, others that are present can ask additional questions of the guest host. We've been doing this show since late July 2010, and it's been catching on as people get to understand what it's about. We've found it really interesting and inspiring to hear each person's unique journey into this community and how it has impacted their lives. The interview takes place in the Deadvids.com chat room and anyone can sit in, member or not. You don't need to be a member to log in as a guest for that evenings show. Since the series began in July, it's always been an American/US-based deadhead that is my guest host, but next month we will have our first "international" guest host - a deadhead from overseas. I can't tell you who, or what show (we try to keep those under wraps until show time), but I would like to invite all of you, US-based and those living outside the US, to please join us! FYI, our guest host will have to be up into the wee hours of their morning to do this show, so perhaps you guys overseas can make a party of it and get together and listen/participate in the discussion that evening, make an all-nighter of it... If you cannot make it, we post an archive on Deadvids.com of all the past shows so folks can see whose show it was and the link to archive.org for that show. You are all most welcome! Please stop by the Deadvids chat room to fully participate in the interview discussion. For more information, please check out info on the next show here: http://gdvodcast.ning.com/events/my-first-grateful-dead-show-5 And info on past show archives here: http://gdvodcast.ning.com/forum/topics/my-first-grateful-dead-show-1 Hope to see you all on November 17th! Tell your friends... ;)

DEADHOOK.COM

Deadhook has been around since the end of February, 2002 and is perhaps the friendliest site I've been to on the Web. I joined in May of '02 and I've had a lot of fun trading music, swapping stories, meeting up with folks at concerts, and learning about my fellow posters over the past 7 years. Please, wander by when you have a few minutes. It's a very nice community of folks and I think you'll enjoy it! You can access "The Dead Zone", which is Deadhook's most active forum by going to the URL listed here: http://www.deadhookforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12 There are plenty of other forums to visit at Deadhook, like "Trees & Vines" and "Shakedown Street", where you can look for recordings of shows you need or gear you'd like to own. Or, hit the "Show Reviews" archive and read about concerts that you may not have know much about. The link for the reviews forum is here: http://www.deadhookforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14 There are plenty of other forums at Deadhook, so I'm sure you'll find something there that'll interest you. See you at Deadhook! "When it comes to humility, I'm the greatest!" - Bullwinkle Moose

Grateful Dead News channel on Mattters

Just want to point out that we have a Grateful Dead News channel on Mattters. The full address is: http://grateful-dead.mattters.com/ This is our site. I've only been to a measly 9 shows or so [but I got plenty of olde bootleg LPs! Now you know how old I am :-)], but my wife/partner has been to several hundred - so hopefully we won't do anything too awfully stupid [I mean, more stupid than is normal fare for us, which, however, gives us really quite an amazing amount of lee way these days :-)]. If you feel motivated, stop by some time! Thanks, -Mike

Northwest / Oregon Dead

I haven't updated this site in quite awhile. However, there are a number of archive items that some folks might be interested in - scans of Oregon Dead pictures & collectibles, newspaper clippings from way back when, etc. Some nostalgia in the sense that it's a holdover from the days of tape trading when we had to find trading partners through the ads in Golden Road and Relix. http://home.earthlink.net/~deadtraders

New Dead Blog

I'd like to mention a blog I've been working on, called the Grateful Dead Guide, which is a series of (mostly long) articles about the early pre-'75 Dead.... There's different kinds of articles, analyzing songs or performances. For instance, in the last three articles: The Dead's 1966 Songs - a discussion of all the songs played in 1966. Early Thematic Jams - or, "Where Did I Hear That Before?" - a listing of the themed jams the Dead played in the early years (this one's been quite popular) December 1972 - a review of the shows played in Dec '72. Older articles include a breakdown of the 1975 Studio Rehearsals, listings of First Times Played and guest appearances, very long essays on the beginnings of Dark Star and the early acoustic sets, show reviews, song histories, and various topics, all packed with links so you can listen while you read. I can't post very frequently, but I think you'll find this is one of the most informative sites around. Take a look! http://deadessays.blogspot.com

Got one we should know about? Tell us about it here!

I hope you get some good responses from folks out there. You certainly put your finger on a huge problem out there, among many. The problem you have here is that this site is mainly commercial in nature and deadhead oriented second. That is, unless it sells something for Rhino/Warner Brothers/Dead.net there is not going to be a lot of time put into it, if any at all. So kudos to you for seeing a need and filling a hole. It's better than me bitching that we should have the vault indexed and graded, my pet peeve.

nedbase - live!

just an fyi... nedbase has gone live! Annotated Nedbase 1970 - 1975 Below are listed the performances, rehearsals, and recording sessions where Ned Lagin is known to have performed with the Grateful Dead, or with Phil Lesh, Jerry Garcia, and others. These occurred in the years between 1970 to 1975. This list is thought to be accurate but remains incomplete. http://nedbase.blogspot.com/ I-) ihor

How to lose hours, weeks, months, or even years on the net.

After exploring the net since seriously discovering the Dead almost 4 years ago, here is a list of at least some of my favorite sites in the ether. Note that a couple entries may simply link to a relevant article on an otherwise nonexclusive Dead site or a page on an exclusive Dead site the link for which can be trimmed back to the root for access to the main page and more resources therein. Certainly many will be well known to most, but you may yet find a few undiscovered gems.

Furman Sound and its Grateful Dead roots

Read the story of how I founded pro audio company Furman Sound with a helping hand from the Grateful Dead. It all began in 1970 when I was hired by Alembic as a guitar amp tech. I was the person who modified Jerry's Twin Reverbs, and all kinds of other guitar and bass amps belonging to the Dead and other San Francisco musicians of that era. Later on, I went on the road with the Dead to do live recording, along with Betty Cantor-Jackson and Wizard (Dennis Leonard). You can find my name on the Europe 72 recordings, the Sunshine Daydream movie, and other stuff from that time. After that... well, you can read the rest at http://furmanhistory.com/ Don't worry, it's not a book-length memoir. It's only got the good stuff. You can read the whole thing in 15 minutes.

cool!

Thanks Janet Furman!!

Furman's a good story

Thanks Janet for sharing all that stuff about the beginnings of sound reinforcement and how you were involved in inventing and tweaking the various electronic gizmo's that musicians use to craft the art of music. I learned a ton about the history of sound and the Bay Area from your unique point of view and enjoyed all the details about the family way-back-when. Best wishes for all good things!

Great Story Janet, successful company and time with my favorite band.Jim

ned lagin's spiritcats

http://spiritcats.com/ Spiritcats.com is the official website of Ned Lagin, his photography, art, writing, and music, including playing with the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia and others, his electronic music composition Seastones, and personal reflections on individual creativity, art, pictures, self portraits, erotica, and the natural history of electronic media world presence. ned has released two albums: 'cat dreams' in 2017 (http://spiritcats.com/catdreams.html) and a new 'seastones' in 2018 (http://spiritcats.com/seastones.html). both are available through the store at his web site.

cool!

I got to interview Ned Lagin once a thousand years ago. Very interesting guy. Thanks for the heads up.

Can anyone recommend any…

Can anyone recommend any European Deadhead sites?

language

Looking for Dead related sites that also support different languages. Using Google translate gives horrible results.

Song Singer List

Hello all, I'm a new GD fan and I was wondering is there a website/listing of songs where the singer is named. I know for pure Deadheads this is natural but for a newbie I get some of the other singers mixed up other than Jerry :). Thanks and sorry for the dumb question.

that's a great question!

I don't know the answer, though. Anybody?

Singer Song List

I suspect - at the very least - a latent hoarder in every Head; though in most cases it's patently obvious (the whole 'need more shows' meme is enduring because it's true!). So like any good fanatic I've stockpiled countless site links in a GoGD Favourites folder - a good 20%+ of which are probably now defunct. Actually, it's not 'countless', it's 42. I just checked. But among them I could not find (nor do I recall seeing) the isolated singer-song listing you requested.

Which doesn't mean you're out of luck. I don't listen to studio recordings (despite the obvious merit and popularity of Live/Dead, Workingmans & American Beauty), but the songs you hear in concert can - for the most part - be found with vocal credits there. Mucking about, I found the easiest way to locate this information is through the Wiki entries for each album. Start with the GD discography page and follow the studio release links to indiviual album pages where the singer(s) are identified.

Two caveats. First, there's an ocean of cover songs not attributed here, but as you become familiar with this list, you'll also become an Ace at identifying who's doing the singing in just about every tune you hear. Second, remember that personnel changes resulted in different singers for different songs in different lineups, though this is largely isolated to Bobby taking over Pig's role with respect to the Blues-y staples. Just ask if you have any questions.

One day you'll graduate to exploring the arsenal of equipment used by the band over time, and that's a whole 'nother universe of study (guitars are a particularly fascinating area)!

EDIT: Something else you can do is search utube for vids of a song to see who's singing; again, there were some rare changes in vocalists, but for the most part you can find answers this way.

Finally, I'll be releasing a bound, stocking-stuffer edition of this post in time for the Holidays!/K

Sort of Dead-related

Over at the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation, after many months of sporadic work by many folks, we have a searchable archive of (old) Fillmore, Fillmore West, and Winterland shows. We're still working on Fillmore East, and if you say, but...what about Days on the Green? you will not be the first. But in the meantime, have fun with it! https://billgrahamfoundation.org/shows/

Nice concert photos...

I was fortunate enough to have seen them ONCE. I snapped some nice shots of their 10-10-1981 show in Bremen (West) Germany. This is hopefully an effective way to share them.

I have a ticket page, an intro page and 4 pages of concert photos. (They played 4 hours, including the intermission!) The pictures can be accessed off the intro page, the second link below:

You'll find one page from a bit of a distance, and three pages from just right off front center!

Wanting to start a GD Podcast

Hey all,

Wanted to start my own GD Podcast, play snippets of shows and talk about it, maybe have interviews/comments from folks that went. Does anyone know what the official policy is on this or who in the Dead organization I could talk to about that so I don't violate anything or step on anyone's toes?
