    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.

    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!

    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.

    Response to ----- Dave's Picks? Winterland Arena March 19 1977
    Hi jondflores, It's Playing in the Tower with Eyes of Fire in El Paso with a Cat here. I think you likely (and hope you do) have some Dick's Pick's discs. To be brief these are generally very good (I have never been disappointed). I got my first, Dick's Pick's Volume three----the Sugaree and Franklin's tower (My favourite - blew me away and I was seriously hooked). Anyway, for me 77' shows are amazing. Dick's Picks Volume 15 is a favourite of mine (another 77' show). Anyway if you can go see the Dead this spring. I only ever made it to one show, but I will never forget it. Anyway hope that helps. P.S. go to www.nugs.net and check out the free stash area for some great dead shows and other great bands (not the best quality recordings but a great collection over their incredible run. I really like the field trip - 1970, I believe). The El Paso and China Cat/You Know me Rider are awesome---actually the whole show is incredible----the music is out of this world and so is the vibe. All the best, Playing in the Tower with Eyes of Fire in El Paso with a Cat

    Global Drum Project, song "Baba"
    Is there a Yoruba / English translation available anywhere for Babatunde's vocals that were sampled onto the Global Drum Album for the song "Baba?" I've looked around but can't seem to find them anywhere. Any suggestions or ideas would be most gratefully appreciated. THANKS!!! :0) ~pamela

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
