4/25/09 MSG Tour Shirts

Hello Everyone, I was at the Garden this past Saturday night. (As I am sure you all know by now, it was amazing.) The blue tie dyes sold inside have a small "400" on the front and the back. These shirts are unique to the MSG show because it has the date and venue name. Does anyone know what the "400" means? Appreciate anything ideas on this one. Thanks.

Gold Skull & Bones watch

I am trying to authenticate that Jerry Garcia owned and wore a Gold Skull & Bones watch and chain that I have and that has been in my family’s possession for the last 35 years or so. If you have any photos, print descriptions or personal knowledge (friend, family, entourage, crew, or band members) of him wearing it, please contact me. Description: 10K gold Skulls & Bones chain with fob has a 1915 period pendent miniature watch in it. 10K gold watch chain made up of 6 small gold skulls connected with 8 gold bones with a large intricate gold skull containing a gold toned miniature watch - 14 inches - 129 grams in weight. A miniature of the original ones with a verge fusee watch made in the 1700’s. Very unusual! Exceptional workmanship! Thought to have been made for Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead fame by a jeweler that was a part of the drug culture celebrity scene circa early 1970’s. You can view the Gold Skull & Bones Watch at http://skullbonesgoldwatch.shutterfly.com/

Parking lot sales etiquette

After 30 years on the buying side, I'd like to hawk my wares at the Pepsi Center next month. I'd like to know: How do I find out where to set up? How early should I arrive? Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Fly-N-Eye said: "Hello, all. Can anyone tell me what dates(year-s) Bruce Hornsby played with the Dead ? I' d really love to hear him jam with them. Can someone suggest cd's or tapes? Thanx" As mentioned...you want to get the MSG/Boston Garden shows to really here some good Hornsby action. Excellent Hornsby/Garcia interaction for sure!!! Hornsby was by far my fave since Brent...hands down!!!

I'm Looking For...

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

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.

Looks like that chunk of 5/22 is Dicks 3

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.
