Robi! Hey Hey Monterrey!

Go to Furthur.net, click on Furthur Announces West Coast Tour, click on Monterrey Fair Grounds, click on Directions. Just a reminder, The Dead toured in 03 & 09. This band contains Weir & Lesh, Kadlicek (From Dark Star Orchestra) on lead & Chimenti on keyboards, Russo & Lane on drums & backup singers. The play mostly Grateful Dead songs. The Dead are buried and the crypt is sealed. Thank God! No more vampires & zombies around... See you at the show! ~ Wherever you go, there you are ~ (Buckaroo Bonzai)

I don't know whether it will have shipped by then. It would be best to contact Customer Service and explain the situation to them. Send me a PM if you need help doing this.

Missing PHISH shows Taped

Hi, I know this may have been addressed before, but I'm going to try it. For those of us out there who are Phish fans too, Kevin Hoy REALLY needs help to complete the Phish "Spreadsheet". It's a phenomenal site and the goal is to get all the shows. I'm hoping some vet. tapers out there may have some that he needs. The site can be found here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjeIQ6qQvexzcDhXS2… And please e-mail him if you have a show he's missing. No matter what the quality, or if it's a partial, or anything. I'll help to convert it for the spreadsheet any way I can. He really needs more eyes out there lookingh for the missing shows. Please help us all, because he's doing this for all of us. I'd also like to know if someone has a similar site for the Dead as well, so I can find those shows that I am missing (which is WAY too many). Thank You. Ty

Date of A Pig Pen Good Lovin'

Okay folks, this has been turning around in my brain since, well, since St. Patrick's Day. Was listening to XM Dead Channel and Pig Pen singing Good Lovin' came on. Now this version had a unique rap. It had all the elements of horseback riding, but the rap of the bakery and the cherry pie was unique. I have been searching all the shows from 70-72 for this version and have yet to find it. Any ideas out there folks? Yup, tried writing the dead channel several times with complete time and date, but now answer--so after four tries there, I thought I would sign up and see if the good folks here had any idea. btw, greetings and thanks in advance. regards, peacefarmer

yeah, the band was thinking

yeah, the band was thinking of getting rid of Bob because they felt his guitar playing wasn't keeping up with the band innovating itself. The band was trying to become more progressive in its musical style and felt that Bob, because of his young age, wasn't picking it up. That's just what I've read in several GD books I picked up over the years... is it the real reason? we'll never know haha

I'm Looking For...

Trivia questions, who wrote that song, when was the last time the Dead played Deer Creek, etc.

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.

esarde

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.
