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.
Cheers

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.

A recommendation...

Hey there, I'm hoping that some one(s) with superior Dead knowledge to me can recommend me some albums similar in sound to Bear's Choice, and in particular the acoustic section of this album. I don't necessarily want complete shows, as I already have a few from through out the career of the grateful dead, and have found that sound and atmosphere prevalent on the first half of the above album most to my liking.

Dave's Picks? Winterland Arena March 19 1977

I am just a neophyte folks..not a 'true' deadhead... I bought a CD recently it has Daves Picks on the cover, and, "Winterland Arena San Francisco, CA 19 March 1977," on the back. It's a two cd set. What is this? Somekind of bootleg? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hard Too Handle

My all time favorite Dead jamming vehicle. I've heard maybe half that are listed in the base but I would like to know what folks who also like this tune believe is the best JAMMED version. For the record, my vote goes to RI Auditorium, Providence RI 4/71 Don't decide till you hear that one, there are some killer soundboards out there. Jerry does some AMAZING things during the jam, easily equal to the DEW at Barton Hall.

Thanks Mr. Pid...

I will definitely check it out once I"m at home and can turn my volume up. I wish I would have written the info down while it was playing, I can hear it in my head, but every version I've heard during my search is the regular, slower version...and I want the groovy one :o)! Thanks again!!~Tam

Hey Tam

Maybe it's the TUIB clip posted by ccJoe on this page. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

you might try asking this in the Sirius topic because I think David Gans does read it from time to time, and he'd probably know.

Looking for a version of Tangled Up IN Blue...

I heard it on Sirius the other day...it's Jerry doing Tangled Up In Blue but it's super groovy and much faster than the standard way he usually does the song. Not sure if it's Jerry solo or JGB, but in the chorus the girls are singing "tangled up in Blue yeah, tangled up in blue" - that standard version usually doesn't have the "yeah" in the chorus. Anyhoo...if anyone knows this version and where I can find it I'd be super grateful!!! THanks!~Tam
