    I'm looking for infos about the lighting rig they used on the last tour. How many projectors, how many moving lights, what kind of dimmers, etc. If you know a link, please PM me. Share the Love. Richard.

    it is not necessary to post the info about the tapes you're trying to unload in multiple topics. Tape Trading, where you posted, is a fine place for it.

    glitter and New Riders
    I'm looking for someone with a better memory than mine...I'm pretty sure it was Roosevelt Stadium 72 but I can find nothing that tells me my memory was correct in that the New Riders opened (Jerry on pedal steel) and the boys came out with these costumes. They were glitter cowboy suits and the trails off the rhinestones were phenominal. Then there were fireworks that said everyones name at the top of the stadium, like attached. I can still see that as if it was emblazen on my brain. Anyone remember or know someone that does?

    First Aid Bus
    Does anyone know who the folks are who operate the red and gold first aid bus that I have been seeing at East Coast shows. They say "We know the way, we will take you home" on the back of the busses. I have always been fascinated by those busses. My fascination was rekindled last week in Philly.

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.

Post over on the 30 days thread.
I'm sure someone there knows.
They are incredibly knowledgeable.
Good luck and cheers
