Grateful Dead In Search of... Info

Forums

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.

Looks like that chunk of 5/22 is Dicks 3

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.

I appreciate your research.

I appreciate your research. Can't argue w/ facts, and indeed '75 was when they took time out. (No wonder only 4 shows were listed!) Must have been earlier that school year, which would be '74. Sometime between late August and December. Kinda hard to remember lots of details from 35 years ago, but it was a good show. One of our friends was from Durham and her mom was connected to Duke somehow. She got tickets for our whole gang. Even offered to put us up for the evening, too. I guess the "Beardless Jerry" creates the proper time line.

it has been pointed out

that #1 is probably a mistyping on David's part, and he meant '75, the hiatus year. This may well be the case. The salient fact seems to be Jerry's beardless status, which places the show firmly in '74.

so bux

I asked Blair Jackson and David Gans about this, and to summarize what they had to say: 1. The GD did not tour in 1974. 2. Jerry was beardless in some of '74, bearded in '75. 3. They think what you saw was Jerry with one of his side bands. Hope this helps.

Thanx, Marye. Already looked

Thanx, Marye. Already looked there. Only 4 shows are listed for 1975: all in San Fran. I went back year by year and definitely narrowed it down to Spring '75. I was living in an apartment that year and remember for sure leaving the parking lot with our friends as we drove to Durham for the show. I went to Guilford College in G'boro, NC and it was about an hour and a half ride to Duke. Seems like I remember Jerry was beardless at the time. Couldn't tell you anything else about the show other than it was the cleanest sounding concert I have ever been to.

you might want to look at the shows listings (Shows & Lyrics link, upper left corner of the screen) and see if any of the listed shows rings a bell.

Duke University-Spring Semester 1975

Looking for info about this show. I may be mistaken about the date, but I know it was my junior year in college so it had to be sometime between Fall 1974 and Spring 1975. Pretty sure it was in the Spring. Any info would be appreciated.

I believe the show you heard with the Eyes > Dancing > Wharf > Franklin's sequence was 3/19/77. Best site for stuff like this is deadlists.com. Go to search and enter 3 songs and "and" after the first two and you'll come up with every show that in which all those songs were played. It looked like a 77 or 78 sequence to me so I only to look at a few of the 15 shows that came up. Very Good show IMO. 3/19/77 One Bertha [6:30] ; Mama Tried [2:40] ; Loser [7:49] ; Big River [6:38] ; They Love Each Other [7:01] ; Looks Like Rain [8:14] ; Tennessee Jed [8:24] ; Estimated Prophet [8:23] ; Terrapin Station [10:20] > Playing In The Band [12:32] > Samson And Delilah [7:08] > Playing In The Band [11:18] Two Eyes Of The World [12:21] > Space [2:43] > Dancing In The Street [10:45] > Wharf Rat [10:00] > Franklin's Tower [13:56] > Sugar Magnolia [9:16] Encore One More Saturday Night [4:59] ; Uncle John's Band [9:01]
