    Just another head saying hi
    Just another head saying hi from Korea. I came here in August 1 '95 in order to save $$$ to tour...guess we all know what happened next. Been here since then, going back for good sometime around March of next year; if the rumors are true, I just might get to hit a couple of shows for my welcome home. Hoping, hoping.

    and a side trip to Cambodia. What a blast! Stayed with my brother in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Took a weekend flight to Cambodia (Siem Reap) and explored the Angkor Wat temple ruins (and several others). Absolutely amazing. Hung out in the evenings at Sheridan's, a funky ex-pat pub in HCM City. Acoustic music (live) most nights. Mostly 60s/70s tunes on the sound system. Couple of Dead tunes floated by. Good times. Anyone gets the chance, check it out.

    who ever went there really loved it (subject to being prepared for the altitude and stuff) but I get the sense the situation there may be a bit complicated these days, so I'd be curious on the current info also.

    sorry could not stand seeing Jesus Christ as the last entry in Asia. Is Jesus Christ just a fictitiousctisous character anyway?

    Jesus here … I have a message for all of you from beyond your realm. This is a Message from Jerry, Pigpen, Brent, Keith, and Bill. To all you who have taken this site and made it about personally attacking one another; who have made a point to forget about the music completely, who have disregarded what this web site is all about. You all have disappointed us greatly. Remember it’s about the music and what it means to each and every one of you. Stop the personal attacks against one another. There is a lot going on in this world right now. And not everyone is going to agree with each other on what should be done. The end of days is near. We need to come together and be united. No I’m not from the Chinese government. I have nothing to do with any government. Nothing we say on these forums about the world is going to change anything. Pray to who or what you believe in. At this point unless you are going to the different places or raising money to help fund these causes; all you can do is pray. So QUIT your bickering it’s time to get along and enjoy the music while we still have the freedom to listen to it. And Remember why we are here on this site in the first place!!!!

Good morning rockers!!!! As many of you may or may not know, I am a bit of a “1971 Dead fanatic”. I have taken on a slightly ambitious project, documenting all 1971 Dead shows, the end result of which I hope will combine numerous “facts/factoids” about shows with recollections of folks who actually attended Dead shows in 1971. In order to accomplish this, I need the help of the Dead fan community. ALL contributions will be properly and specifically credited. If you attended ANY shows in 1971 and have ANY recollections to share, PLEASE consider participating. Please PM me for details. While of course I’m happy to hear from anybody who attended “classic 71 shows” such as Port Chester, Fillmore East, Harding Theater, Felt Forum, etc., I’m particularly interested in hearing from folks who may have attended lesser known, “out of the way” shows, such as: 1/21/71 Davis 1/22/71 Lane Community College 3/5/71 Oakland 4/14/71 Bucknell 4/18/71 Cortland 6/21/71 Chateau d’Herouville 8/4/71 Terminal Island 10/19/71 Northrop Auditorium 11/11/71 Atlanta 11/17/71 Albuquerque In addition, if ANYBODY out there has “paper ephemera” related to 1971 shows, Please consider participating. I’m looking especially for: Newspaper/print media articles Show posters/handbills Ticket stubs Photographs Thanks in advance to all who participate and contribute! Rock on, Doc Gillespie

Greetings from KL. Four years in and as far as deadheads go feel like a stranger, there just an't any in this town who I've met. Live music scene is very quiet too, nothing like Jakarta or Beijing! If you're passing through or staying for a while PM me.

Well, it's been 7 years since I wrote this initial post looking for deadheads to hang with in Nagoya, Japan. While I've enjoyed venturing to such places as the Oshino Dead Festival near Mt Fuji in 2013, Yukotopia a few times( Hi Kuma) and the Happy Farm Music Festival near Nagano in 2016, I've been looking for someone I kind spend time with on weekends listening to tunes and exploring the area. Still hoping this can happen.

Dude, are you still in Nagoya? The whole current scene has turned me into even more of a recluse than I already was, but just so ya know, you ain't the only one. There are quite a few Japanese heads around this area, but it may not be so good for your visa status to get too close. :P

Hello,

My name in Kenjiro and I am a deadhead skier and musician living in Lake Tahoe.

A group of local Lake Tahoe Deadhead skiers and snowboard riders are coming to Japan with our guitars this winter (February or March) with hopes of meeting other deadhead Skiers and Riders in Japan. We want to ski, ride and play Grateful Dead songs with Japanese skiers and riders.

If you or anyone in your group is interested in joining, we would warmly welcome you.

If you know anyone else interested or can help us with meeting other deadheads in Japan, we would be very grateful.

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you,
Kenjiro "Willy" Green

Hy! AM Mark.
New at Dead.net . Wanna enjoy like all of mu buddies are doing. Do not like to involve in communities. For living, am doing two different things.
One is start a blogging site and one is an e-commerce store.
I want to financially free as soon as possible to live my life as a deadhead. Working hard to reach this level.
