    sounds like a bootleg of a Jerry Band show from the setlist. If you were to post in the Tapers section or the Vineyard, someone could probably tell you the exact show based on the setlist and the month.

    Unicorn dream
    I once heard an audio recording of a Robert Hunter poem (I think the title was Unicorn Dream). .....the tree of letters, and the blood of poets drying on the steps. ....a knowing that you know, do you know it? And what is it that you know? I've really searched hard on the web and cannot find it. Can you help. Thanks, Anarchist

    Ultra-rare Vinyl LP?
    I'm looking to get more info about an LP i have in my collection, i can't seem to find evidence of it's official existence anywhere online. It's a 2 record LP, front cover is labelled "Uncle John's Band, Orpheum Theater, Boston, Mass." back shows "Uncle John's Band featuring Jerry G. Orpheum Theater, Boston Mass. Dec. 1976" track listing: side one: how sweet it is to be loved by you, they loved each other. side two: that is what love will make you do, simple twist of fate. side three: i second that emotion, gommorah side four: the harder they come. I'm curious just how rare this print is, if it's a bootleg, who did the cover art, etc. Basically anything i can find out about it.

    I have heard (read) posts that
    contend that Phil & Bobby will link up along with John Kadlichek (guitar), Joe Russo (drums) ,and Melvin Seals (keys) for several shows. I don't know if this is accurate or not. Just a (ugly) rumor at this point. ;o} The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

    Info on rumor?
    A little birdie told me that Bob and Phil are getting together with a new line up, also it might be Sept 18 thru the 20th somewhere in San francisco. Any one confirm? or heard the same thing?

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.
