    Request to the Dead.net store
    Although there is a plethora of everything imaginable (and some things that shouldn't be imagined), I am noticing the lack, Jack, of high quality tie-dyes except for the Dead 09 official tour shirt. Can't the store do a contest or something for some super spectacular designs of super good quality that we wouldn't mind shelling out the bucks for? Mine have worn out and I would easily buy 4 more so I could proudly fly colors again. I'm definitely talking the five-star, 2 screened screechers with all our favorite motifs. As they're being sold by the store nothing should be off-limits, right? Or maybe I'm the only one who wants the super-great stuff. It could be that time has passed me by, old codger that I am.

    Terrapin Station Street Sign
    I bought a Shakedown St sign at the Furthur show at the Mann Center in Philly back in 2010 from a couple who made street signs. They also had a red Terrapin Station sign that I would've bought if I'd had the money. Any chance you know where I can get one?

    I've seen some (the bit that's included with the GD Scrapbook). I have to admit, I've always steered away from this one 'cause of Jerry's bad vocal night. I'll give it another shot though on your recommendation. More pro video of this would be nice I guess. Wasn't this show a TV broadcast, or am I mistaken? Pretty sure it was a radio show at least.

    Deadbase says it was a simulcast.
    and Tapers Compendium said 11/24/78 was the 'For Deadheads Only' show.Jerry did have some voice issues and I think that during that era this show got discounted during those days when his voice was soooo on. Considering what his voice sounded like in some of those shows in the 90s (or even some 80s) was like, I would encourage you to give this another listen. On further (pun intended) thought, maybe I should give it another spin as well.

    Vault Minders-Aren't there any of the later Red Rocks video 'proshots' in the vault that we could have in DVD ? Pretty please? We will not complain or crab, I promise. Just to see an era of the GD at that site would be transportive.

    Have you seen the video from 11/24/78 @ Capitol Theatre?
    I have to say that is one of my very favorite video offerings from 1978.Of course, the video quality is not up to par but it is such a great show. The boys (and Donna) having a wonderful time. The Taping Compendium notes on this show 'Highlights: The entire show'. Haza el-Din is a special guest and when I listened to this on the radio 'back in the day', I loved it. That second set Estimated>Shakedown>jam>drums>Ollin Arageed>Fire>Sugar Magnolia is totally unique. Deadbase XI's account of 11/24/78 by David Greenbrug relates (in part) "Fire segues so seamlessly into Sugar Magnolia that it is easy to miss the transition entirely. It was practically choreographed! In one of the video's finest moments, Jerry, who seems to have instigated the segue, looks over at Weir with a proud stance, as if to say "Hey, wasn't that neat?" while Bob looks back with an utterly shocked espression. I think it took a few seconds for it to register with Bob that they weren't playing Fire anymore!" Anyway I found this video to be a delight even through the sketchy video. 11/24/1978 would be one for Rhino to put out on a DVD. Or give me video of the 1978 Winterland 'From Egypt with Love' shows (pick any of them). Or on second thought give me all of them in sharp DVD resolution. Is the Duke show, when Jerry actually plays drums? Is that the one?

    yeah, i guess you're right
    I could have consulted my taping compendium to see that the video from '78 is quite limited and does not include the July Red Rocks shows. The April Duke show piques my interest a little, but that's a show that doesn't imprint on my brain as much as the Red Rocks shows do.

I'm learning to play bass (lessons for about a year).Alas, I have been unable to find any books or sheet music that has any bass music for the Dead. Amazon seems to have nothing either. I can't even find much out there for PowerTabs or GuitarPro. I'm afraid my ear isn't trained well enough to pick out more than a few notes from a song. I realize Phil is very improvisational, but there are still key riffs, etc. that I could learn from sheet music. Does anyone know where I can get some of the Dead's basslines? I'm thinking something simple like Bertha to start with, then work up to GDTRFB, but I'd love to play any Dead. I just want to play it right. Thanks

This one falls under the "time flies when you're oblivious" category. Set the wayback machine, Sherman! Way, way back in 1983, on the way to the Ventura shows from Huntington Beach, my friends and I stopped at the MacDonald's on Kanan Rd in Agoura off the 101 Freeway for a quick bite. Somehow or another in the process of getting in and out of the car my Levi Jacket fell out, never to be seen again. I didn't notice it was missing until we got to the fairgrounds. I returned to MacDonald's in a frantic search but it was in vain as the jacket was gone and I ended up missing the first set. Didn't care about missing the show but the Jacket had sentimental value to me and couldn't be replaced. It was old and frayed and covered with Grateful Dead patches and buttons and had travelled all over the country with me for about 10 years. To this day I am saddened at losing that jacket so I thought that I would try a search here in case by some wierd coincidence someone out there found it. My only hope after losing it was that someone who was cold or really needed it found it. I refuse to think it was stolen, I know it was an accident and probably just fell out of the car. If someone out there has found it please, please let me know; it was a beloved friend and needs to come home. Thank You ............

The shirts sold out before the show started. I've inquired about getting more to no avail. I did see the posters for sale on ebay. If Obama gets the nomination, we'll be making steely/obama stickers and giving them out for free or self-addressed stamped envelope if mailing is required. We've secured financing to print them and cannot sell them due to copyright yada yada yada. I'll try and remember to post here when we get them.

hi - looking for an old photo of Jerry Garcia smiling in a kitchen, over a cup of coffee, i think. Not sure of the year (70's most likely), or the photographer - it was black and white, and I most likely found it in one of the many retrospective magazine articles in 1995 soon after he passed away. Not sure of much else, but if anyone has information on the photographer, or where I can purchase a print, I would be most grateful for any leads. I cut that one out of the magazine, framed it, and gave it to my friend Josh as a house-warming gift back in 96 or so, but would like to find another for my kitchen. Thanks.

I am hoping this might work... In 1994 I was filmed, with a bunch of cool heads, dancing at the Palace of Fine Arts. The video was edited into three different versions and played on the round screen above the band. One of the edits had me in it a lot. I saw myself a couple times Dec '04 in Oakland. It was amazing to see myself dacing behind the boys! I would absoultely be ecstatic if I could get my hands on a copy of the video tape. I believe I received a "Thank You" letter and sticker in the mail a couple of weeks later from office, I can't remember who signed it. What do you think, my friends, anyone know if I can get a copy? My best to you! Tricia

Hey Twisty - I just read your post. I'll see if I can find the pics I have with my best friend's psychedelic, SYF, homemade banner (which was stolen at Giants Stadium that same summer) hanging on my Caravan, down by that river. I also hung that banner off the Redskins "Ring of Fame", that same concert. Those were the old daze with film and paper pictures, so it may take some time to find but I'll do my best. Also, I'm not connected to time the way most folks are so don't despair if it appears I've abandoned the issue, that's why I don't do vines, fyi. I want that banner back from the clowns that stole it, so I really want to post that pic. Speaking of SYF, I thought everyone might like to see this one, the Mitchell-Hedges crystal skull. Enjoy!

I don't know if I'm in the right thread or not, but I have talked to the people at the store and they're telling me to just make this announcement in one of the Forums. So here goes, I just recently acquired a vast collection of Grateful Dead albums and 45's. I also have some autographed memorabilia. I tried putting a few things on EBAY where I have been selling for the past eight years, but that didn't seem to be the right marketplace for some of the stuff. And as many of you already know, if you want to sell on EBAY, you'd better be prepared to give the stuff away. Now, I'm not looking to make a fortune on this stuff, but I would like to recover at least my initial investment and possibly make a few bucks as an end result. So, if you're looking for any of the old wax or anything with signatures, give me a shout at bennyboop@hotmail.com and let me know what you're looking for. If I have it, we can talk price, if I don't have it...I'll let you know up front. Just a sample of the many things I do have are an autographed copy of the album Jerry Garcia by the great one himself, an autographed "Mars Hotel" cover with record, an autographed "Go To Heaven" album with record and an autographed album cover of "Anthem of the Sun" (I don't think the record is inside it though). All four of these items are nicely framed and ready to be shipped...I can furnish photos if you want a look-see. I also have some promotional "DeadHead" records and cover artwork,the super rare 1973 green vinyl LP "Flood Damaged" and a whole lot more. So if this interests anyone..holler at me and if I'm violating any of the rules of the website, please let me know.

The Obama shirts are for sale at phillesh.net. When I went over there to check the other day, I followed the link and there were no shirts, so I emailed JC Juanis over there and asked what was up. He says they're out of stock but will have more in a few days. So, go to Phil's site and all should be well.

I have this old GD t-shirt that was given to me by my father. It is a Liquid Blue shirt that on the front has the "Steal your face" Logo, with Paradise on top and Waits on the bottom. Below that are 5 skeletons dancing. On the back the words are "without love in the dream it will never come true" with the 5 skeletons below that. This was given to me by my dad almost 10 years ago, and I know he had it much longer than that. Considering it was from when he was about 50 pounds lighter. My issue is that the shirt is falling apart now, and I want to give my dad a present. I contacted liquidblue and they state that they never made this shirt. I suspect it is so old they just don't have the pattern anymore. I would like to somehow get this shirt remade and get 2 of them, one for me and one for my father. This statement on the back of the shirt has sort of become a personal motto for me, and I have my father to thank for that. So if anyone can help me, I would appreciate this.

Hey everyone... I'm hoping some more seasoned Dead collectors can help me out. There was a great little restaurant here in St. Louis that had a poster showing artists who influenced the GD. It featured Chuck Berry, Do Diddley, Bod Dylan, etc... I've been googling for days and I can't find it. If someone could just provide me the name of the piece I'm sure I could find it. Thanks in advance!
