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.

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.

yo...jimmy row

Got me humming the tune to Row Jimmy now... "Julie catch a rabbit by his hair.... Come back steppin like to walk on air..." Thank you, RH ! I was at the Market Square 10/1/76 show. Frankly, I hardly remember the venue but sure did love the show. There is a terrific recording available on www.archive.org, an audience job, done by the late Jerry Moore. Fast forward to 1981. There is a vine circulating in the Vinyard (Downunder 1981?) with the 12/5 show. It's an outstanding show, too. Venture back into 1973 to hear the 10/27 State Fairground show, when you get the time, too.

try the Tape Trading topic. Also look in the Vindex topic (the most recent list posted in the comments) to see if this show is part of an existing vine.

Las Vegas 1992 show

A relative of mine was at this show. Don't know the exact date, but I was wondering how I might be able to get a recording of this show for him. Thanks.

Market Square Arena 10/1/76, 2/3/79, 12/5/81

Was anyone at these shows? What did you think of the place? The sound? The vibe? Where was shakedown? How was it? I've read the setlists but was just wondering how people felt about the venue. I loved that venue for shows but unfortunately did not see the GD there due to being only 4 years old the last time they played the place. Any info would be much appreciated!

Richard-for copying DVD

You need a device capable of burning dvd's, but such a device is in most newer computers. And if your computer has a dvd burner, it should also have the software to do so. Older cd burners can NOT copy dvd's, unfortunately.********************************** Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

Need Help from you Dead Heads!

Hello,I need some help with finding the name of the Font type used in the wording of the band name “Grateful Dead” off the “Steal your face” album. I just got a new boat, I would like to use that exact font for the lettering in the name of the boat “Ship of fools” to be installed on the back transom. Also part of the plan is to omit the “O” in the “OF” part in the name “Ship Of Fools” and replace it with a SYF Sticker. The lettering colors will also be Blue and Red exactly like the sticker! I got the plan, just need the help to execute it…Can anyone help??? Thank you http://public.fotki.com/araslich/concerts/

do you have

any local lawyer group that does pro bono assistance for tenants? Judging by the propane tank, you're in the country, so I dunno. Since lawyers around here cost upwards of $200 an hour, going that route might not be cost-effective, so I'd look hard for your local legal aid.
