if you go to Memphis

don't forget that Al Green has a church there, as I recall, and I've been told it's quite welcoming.

Planning a cross country trip in 2014 with my son.

My son turns 18 next summer and it has occurred to me that if we don't an "On the Road" type thing together soon we'll miss the opportunity. We will be leaving from Virginia and our ultimate western destination would be San Francisco. We would take the southern route out. One of my brothers lives in Las Vegas and we would spend a number of days there. I would like to spend a couple days in Memphis. Seems a logical stop for a music fan. Not that much interested in Graceland but would like to check out Beale St. and possibly Sun Records. Thought of stopping in Albuquerque on the way out and definitely want to see the Grand Canyon (but might do that while visiting my brother). Would like to stay at least three days in San Francisco. I'm not firm on the return route. The direct route would be through Utah and Colorado but have considered going up the coast as far as Oregon or maybe even Washington before coming home. Estimate we would have approximately 18 days to do the whole thing. Would appreciate any info/suggestions as to ways to do this on a very limited budget and as to what route to take and what to see. Any local knowledge would be appreciated. Peace.

box set

I see from the 1-19 Rolling Stone article from this year there'll be a multi disc box set released from several shows on one tour. Anyone catch wind of any other details on this? I was personally hoping for another Winterland box since there are several excellent runs that remain untapped. I was listening to the Feb. '74 2-22 Playing and the 2-23 Jam He's Gone>Truckin'>Other One>Eyes earlier today and it was fabulous. This run would comprise a great box set in my opinion. Bob Weir with the National this evening was pretty good. The interviews after were a nice touch as well.

Europe 72 complete box set

Anyone know where I can get this baby! Besides for the pirate prices on Amazon. $950. Yikes! I'm so upset I missed it. I'm on top of all emails from dead.net and that ONE day that ONE email went to spam and I saw it too late. No other dead.net emails have gone to spam. Must be a hint from the universe telling me not to spend that kind of dough on music! Don't I have enough Dead?! Ha! If I do get it, I want the whole box, not just the CD's. Unless the CD only set goes down in price some day. It's just not right to charge the same amount as the folks who were lucky enough to get the box set. UNFAIR! No matter how fair a deal the $450 is for so many CD's, the whole set has that AND a lot more stuff. So they should simply NOT be the same price. :P

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.

esarde

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.
