Grateful Dead In Search of... Info

Forums

Trivia questions, who wrote that song, when was the last time the Dead played Deer Creek, etc.

I'm working on a project…

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.

Looking for a certain 1978 show with Sunrise > Estimated

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

May 22 1977

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.

I love that one. May have to sneak that in today too.

Does anyone have contact…

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!

30 Days of Dead archive

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

Uni Project

HI I'm Malena and i would like to know more about the deadhead culture for a college project. Feel free to answer as many of the following questions as you like I'm thankful for every answer :)
1. How would you describe the Deadhead-Communities philosophy and mindset?
2. What is your favorite memory of the community or the concerts?
3. How did the Grateful Dead and the community affect your life and does it still have an impact on you now?
4. What , in your opinion, caused scandals linked to violence or drug overdoses?
5. What would you recommend new Deadheads that would like to join the community? Is there something they should keep in mind?

I live in England, myself

So as far as I am concerned the Deadhead Community is exclusively an online thing, that started for me about 10 years ago. Consequently it hasn't changed my life at all, although it is very pleasurable exchanging views with other people who listen to The Dead.

Hi Hal, I got on board in the '90s and I highly recommend my first shows as a great example of later Dead - lots of great, jazzy playing and Bruce adds so much to these shows: http://www.archive.org/details/gd1992-03-20.fob.schoeps.gems.76478.sbeo… http://www.archive.org/details/gd1992-03-21.fob.schoeps.evens.gems.7648… Many people prefer the 1990 Hamilton Shows, but these have their special magic, with the Dead and mostly Jerry climaxing on every song - just brilliant playing overall. Enjoy, K

This guy wrote Bob Wire a blog asking what the deal is with the grateful dead. He doesn't get why people like them or what real contributions they provided the music world. He asking for people to enlighten him. http://www.newwest.net/topic/article/whats_the_deal_with_the_grateful_d… Can we all help him out?

re: truckin' up to buffalo

Here's a link that will give you some insight on the lyrics Scholar:http://arts.ucsc.edu/Gdead/AGDL/ --- They explain, in grate detail, many of the lyrical elements of the GD repertoire here. It's really an awesome reference, I use it almost everyday. You should know that many of the Dead's songs' meaning will always be open to interpretation though. One of the grate mysteries of life...

can't help with the lyric

but Jerry definitely did play trumpet from one of his guitars, the one called Rose I think, which had much MIDI capability. You can find a whole lot of info about all the instruments in Blair Jackson's Grateful Dead Gear book, whose name I fondly hope I am remembering correctly.

truckin' up to buffalo

In Truckin' up to Buffalo, the film of the 7/4/89 show at Rich Stadium, there is a trumpet sound during "I Will Take You Home," the Brent M. song. You don't see anyone playing a trumpet. You do see Jerry playing a Strat, the only time he uses it during the show. Does anyone know if the trumpet sound was from some kind of guitar/synth setup with the Strat? Also, there is a reference to a "shotgun ragtime band" in "Ramblin' Rose," from L.I.E. '72. Can anyone explain the "shotgun" part of that?

Thnx!

Thanks for replies... noonie, I'll PM you. I'm probably more interested in hearing a great 1990 show than 1980 at this point, since I feel modestly familiar with '80 via Dead Set & Reckoning and FM radio broadcasts I heard back then.
