    Garcia on Pedal Steel, With the Dead, Live

    I've never found anyone who could tell me about live Dead shows where Garcia plays pedal steel, and if any of those shows have been or are about to be released. I got a nibble of a clue that he played it at the '72 Tivoli show. True that?

    I'M LOOKING FOR PHOTOS AND OR VIDEOS FROM THE 1988 SHOW AT ALPINE VALLEY...MY FRIEND AND I (two college girls, blonde and brunette) WERE ON STAGE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND I'M TRYING TO FIND AN IMAGE OF IT. WE GOT LUCKY AND MY FRIEND MET ONE OF THE LIGHTING GUYS...IT WAS SURREAL....any help would be so appreciated!! Somebody decided they needed my backstage pass a few years later so I don't have anything other than the memory fading away.

    I can help with 12/10/71

    From your description of the intensity of the jam and the Other One and Sittin', I'm almost positive you're talking about 12/10/71. It's one of my old favorites, too. Indeed, I like it so much I happen to have an extra copy. Email me at scottshindell@gmail.com with your mailing address and it's yours.

    reminds me of the old CDead days with Jay Ashley and friends

    Hampton Terrapin

    Sunday on Sirius Dave Lemieux was talking about Hampton shows. He mentioned a must watch Terrapin where Jerry was 'animated'. Can someone tell me what show it was?

    Althea and the Guiro

    I've heard at least one version of Althea in which the guiro (presumably) ratchet-type sound is very distinct. I really like the sound and hope to find out which shows included that variant. Thanks!

    BREWGUYTY - Mason's Children Show

    Can't resist a challenge like this and I pretty sure I've got your answer. A Dick's Picks sampler 'A Glimpse of the Vault' was released back in 1996 and included one song from each of the first five Dick's Picks in order of release. Track 4, from Dick's Picks 4, was Mason's Children, which appeared on disc 3, all of which came from the Fillmore East show on February 14th 1970. Hope that gives you what you were looking for.

    Searching for Masons Children show

    A couple of decades ago I found a Grateful Dead sampler cd at Best Buy that was a free giveaway. I loved that album but unfortunately somebody else decided they wanted it more. This was before MP3s and ripping music from a cd. Anyways, there was a solid Masons Children from a show that I cannot find on the cd. If anybody happens to know what show that is from, I will be forever grateful. (Pun intended)

    ISO these shows for download?

    I am trying to track down the show I loved as a teen via cassette. It was 69, 70 or 71 and Sittin On Top of the World was at the height of the jam. It was part of a segue and I believe also included The Other One. VERY high intensity. From what I can find, it is probably one of these shows. But they most are not available for download from the Internet Archive. Is there another avenue to download these shows?

I'm working on a project where I want to attempt to archive Grateful Dead bootleg lot shirts. I would like to create a print publication as well as a website celebrating the lot bootleg shirt. I would also like to document the stories and lore behind the shirts. I would love to hear any stories about anyone funding their tour by selling shirts, stories from shirt creators, any crazy Dead bootleg story (favorite shirt, shirts tha led to introductions, crazy adventures, etc... Feel free to send me any pictures, stories, ideas, suggestions, etc.. Thanks! Peace.

A long, long time ago, when we listened to tapes, a friend of mine had this great show from (I think) May 1978. Here is what (I think) I remember:
Terrapin > Sunrise > Estimated, which were mind-blowing. Probably Donna's best Sunrise; will bring you to tears.
I'm fairly sure that Terrapin went straight in to Sunrise. But I'm sure that Sunrise went straight in to Estimated. I don't think it was edited that way.
They were playing these tunes a lot at that time, but I've combed through the archives and just can't locate a show with this sequence; my memories may be at fault.

Thanks!

In Deadbase X, the lists for all 30 Sunrises:
5-12-77 Estimated>Sunrise>Terrapin
5-22-77 Good Lovin'>Sunrise>Estimated
1-11-78 Samson>Sunrise>Terrapin
4-11-78 Fire>Sunrise>Terrapin
That's all that have either an Estimated or a Terrapin on either side.
So maybe that 5-12-77?
Cheers

Hey 1st Show!

Thanks for the assist; May 22 1977 is the one. Listening to it right now. You know what's wrong with that show? NOTHING! ;-) Many of the tunes played that night are easily top picks for me.

Does anyone have contact information for the photographer who was shooting family portraits at Laguna Seca in 1988? Today my daughter, who was three years old at those shows, mentioned that the post-show scene at those gigs is one of her earliest memories. I’d love to get a print of the photo that was taken by that photographer. Thanks!

When doing a data transfer I managed to lose all of the 30 Days music I'd collected over the years
I thought I once came across a site that allowed one to download previous years, but darned if I can find it again.
Anybody help me find it again, or something similar?
Thanks in advance.

Post over on the 30 days thread.
I'm sure someone there knows.
They are incredibly knowledgeable.
Good luck and cheers
