Lookin' For an Old Deadhead Boyfriend

I'm looking for an old friend/boyfriend from back in the day. For the sake of privacy, I'll just say that his name is Ed or Eddie O. Went to graduate school at the University of Hawaii and the East-West Center circa 1982 - 1984. At that time, he had about 400 cassettes of the Grateful Dead, a Nakamichi deck, some awesome Klipsch speakers and had seen The Grateful Dead all over the world, at least 300+ times. Anyone at The East-West Center at the time would remember him 'cause he used to blast The Grateful Dead outta those Klipsch speakers for all to hear, day or night 'cause going to class was not his strong suit. :-). Just curious to see where he's at after 25 years of long strange trips. Thanks, all.

Hey Fly-N-EyeYou can start

Hey Fly-N-Eye You can start by picking up Dick's Picks 9, Bruce at Madison Square Garden. Maybe not the best show ever but a great Jerry-Bruce riff on Tenessee Jed and a really fun Bruce/Vince/Phil jam going into drums. Fun Iko, as well. I don't now the dates but Bruce tended to show up at the summer shows at RFK stadium in DC (he apparently lives in Virginia) during the last years.

The Angel Orensanz Foundation show

I scored tickes for the Dead show tomorrow at The Angel Orensan Foundation and am I pumped! But I could use some advice on navigating, parking and dining the area. I will be driving down from NH and I have never been to Manhatten.

I am curious Bob....

What Show featured the most Dylan tunes and if the amount of tunes is tied for a number of shows, then length of song times would be tie breaker. Thanks!

Daves Picks????

Near as I can tell there is no Dicks Picks volume for 3-19-77. Shame on this guy Dave. Not what we do round here. That entire show is available @ archive.org, the kind way.

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.

5/22/77

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.
