Grateful Dead In Search of... Info

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.

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.

Deadhead vs Quilters: it could get ugly...

Hi! The Dead shows in Worcester are April 18th and 19th at the DCU Center. Y'all knew that already. This overlaps a day with the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo, which is also at the DCU Center on April 16th, 17th and 18th.

I know you rider

Hello All, I am wondering where I can find a version of I know you rider that I heard on XM the other day. It was a really early version with a faster beat, it almost had a 60's beach scene beat. Thanks in advance.

Hey econ_grad, part two...

Deadbase suggests 131 shows from 1994 through the end of the database (and the "Grateful Dead", as the rest of the guys don't use the name since Jerry's passing) @ 1995. My copy of the Cosmicbadger SuperGroovy Holistic Spreadsheet shows 129 shows, not sure where the difference is vs Deadbase but regardless the number of shows is substantially more than "none". Send me a PM with an email address and I can forward you a listing, or you can noodle around Deadbase and get the listings you need.

I am a Economics graduate student and a professor of mine is having me gather data about GD. I am looking for the dates and locations of any and all GD concerts from '94-'06. I didn't think there were any, but if you know of any I would love the help! Or maybe where to find this info, thanks!

U No GD History?

2 Qs:When/where was the last 2 set GD show (post 75) without Drums? All GD shows were different, but three 2nd sets came very close to being the same, 2 in particular were almost identical, within a space of 6 weeks. Which 3 shows were they? I put these questions in another topic, sorry. Correct answers get a prize!
