    Tie Dyed Mardi Gras shirt

    I'm trying to figure out if this shirt has any value.

    It's a blue tie dyed 1995 Oakland Mardi Gras shirt. I've found the white version of this online going for $200-250 but barely a mention of the tie dyed one.

    White version - https://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-90s-Grateful-Dead-Mardi-Gras-Oakland-Not-F…

    I inherited this one so I know nothing about it.

    Can anyone help? I can't post photos, can I?

    Sugar Magnolia - Pigpen version

    A very long time ago, I heard a bootleg copy of Pigpen singing Sugar Magnolia in a sort of reggae / rasta type feel. I was at a party of someone I didn't know, and didn't ask to find out what show it was from. I've been looking for it ever since. Anyone have any ideas?

    Althea - top 5 live versions?

    Looking for a general consensus of smoking hot live versions of Althea, say top 5 or so.
    Already listened to 5-16-81: Cornell (too slow, nothing special) / 3/20/92: Copps Coliseum, Hamilton, Ontario (OK ) /
    10/1/94: Boston Garden, Boston, MA ( Bob's over the top MIDI or whatever guitar effects way too annoying - IMO) /
    3/15/90: Capital Centre, Landover, MD (Will go with this for the playlist, but I know there's better one's out there.)
    PLEASE HELP! as always, eternally Grateful.

    St. James Infirmary

    Did the Grateful Dead ever record St. James Infirmary? Did they ever play it in concert? If so, is a recording online? So far haven't found any evidence. I like their "Deep Elem Blues" (acoustic version) so much and I'd love to hear Jerry singing St. James Infirmary.

    Hard to find video/film.

    I'm looking for a video of the 1972 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. I believe it was in June. I was there. Thanks.

    Deadlists has 32:49 listed; the copy I have clocks in at 34:15. Possibly 28:00 version is 'clipped' or from another show?

    Someplace to buy legit, good quality live downloads

    New to this forum, wandering around kinda glassy-eyed this New Year's Day. Looking for opinions about the best live versions of Dead songs, and a legal source for good downloads, for example: what's the best live version of "Althea", and where can I buy a legit download of that version? Thanks, and happy 2019 to all!

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.

They are incredibly knowledgeable.
Good luck and cheers

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?

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.
