    Jedi, if you don't mind streaming off the internet... take a look at archive.org they got thousands of soundboards available for free streaming. I plug my home theater thing into the 'puter, or use ear bud ear phones, and it sounds grate. they got audience recordings available for free downloads, but I never learnt how to do that. peace.

    well, Jedi
    I suggest you take yourself over to the Vineyard and sign up for a few vines. Don't sign up for all 300 of them at once or your mail carrier will hate you and you'll be spending all your time copying and mailing. But it's a great resource.

    How do I get Dead Shows off the Internet?
    Hi, I am 26 and really love Jerry. He is my idol. A lot of people say that I am too young to love this music. But I disagree. I am looking to build a really strong collection of Dead music. I used to trade tapes for a while but I figure with the internet there should be databases of music at my fingertips. Is there anyone out there that can help me out? I have been to sugarmegs but the shows do not have track breaks in them. So If I wanted to burn them on cd or put them on an mp3 player I would have to listen to the whole show. I have also tried to get the program furthurnet to work but I am no computer genius and I cant get it to work right. Please help me out.

    live at keystone second guitar player
    ok so there's clearly a second guitar player on the Live At Keystone Vol. 1 Disc, especially the tune 'Positively 4th Street'. He/She/It even takes a solo around the 5 minute mark. who the heck is it?

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

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?

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.
