    Looking for Dead Tapes
    I went to a Dead show in Atlanta, Ga sometime between 1969 & 1970 at a venue called The Sports Arena. There was a problem with the Dead's equipment & the Allman Bothers drove up from Macon & let them use theirs. Most of the show was Them with various members of the Allmans. Killer show as I remember & would love to find a tape of the show. I have lots to trade with anyone. George

    Fan photos....can't see them anymore..?
    I uploaded some photos of the May 11, 1979 show at the Billerica Forum (MA) a couple of years ago, but now I don't see them. Has something changed (a setting perhaps) or were they taken down?Thanks, Ken

    Looking for 90's? show 'Other One' version with donald duck voic
    There was this version of The Other One I heard on the grateful Dead Hour A long time ago, and I'm pretty sure it was from a 90's show, where the vocals sounded like donald/daffy duck... Does anyone know this show? Where I can find it again? I taped it on cassette and don't have it anymore, I think I also got a really good Standing On The Moon from the same Grateful Dead Hour... Other One with Donald duck vocals?? I really loved it.

    Suggestion for fuiture Dave's pick
    I have a suggestion for a future Dave's Pick,please don't laugh. Boise,Idaho-9/2/83.OK in the annuls of great GD shows it is not even ever considered.But it was a really good show.1st of all it was the ONLY TIME they played in Idaho.Most heads skipped this show to attend the Park West,Utah one a couple of days later so you might say it was an intimate setting by number of people that attended.And even though the Pavillion is not a very good place accoustically(finding a decent bootleg has been all but impossible)for a concert the Band responded and played a killer show for the few who attended.The 1st set was a pretty typicle "83" set - Wang Dang Doodle> Jack Straw, TLEO, Mama Tried> Big River, B. E. Women, Minglewood, Big RxR Blues, L. L. Rain> Deal.The Deal was exceptionally good,one of the ones where Jerry just does not want to end and keeps jamming,stretching it out.Overall a pretty good 1st set. But the 2nd set was the one of those killer 2nd sets that would make it a worthwhile Daves Pick - Help> Slipknot> Franklin's, Estimated> Eyes> Drumz> Throwing Stones> GDTRFB> Black Peter> Sugar Magnolia E: Baby Blue. It was the 1st Help>Slip>Franklins in 10 shows and 1 of only 16 played for that year out of 66 shows!As a matter of fact Estimated(16),Eyes(13),GDTRFB(10) and Black Peter(14) were all played sparingly that year. I suppose I may be biased about this show and would love to see it released for sentimental reasons(it was one of if not the best show I ever saw out of about 60) but I believe it is worthy of consideration. I know as I said before out of the thousands of shows the Dead played it probably would never be considered as one of their greatest shows but it's these types of shows that NEED to be considered for such a series of releases. Please check it out.I would be very interested in your opinion of the show and it's chances of consideration. Bill the Deadhead

    if you're on this site early on the East Coast it's just awash with spam. I know dead.net has been trying different things to stop it, all to no avail. Is there anything between the absolute freedom of being on here and getting people NOT to do just one simple thing? One suggestion: Higher a shift of 5 people to work from 1-6am wiping out spam. Clearly MaryE is overwhelmed, even wit Blair's help.

I think it could be done, though I tear my hair at the thought of retrofitting what's already up. It's a good idea, as we've been getting a lot more artwork from folks lately.

The package was up for pre-order for a few hours, including a new Road Trips volume (Winterland From Egypt with Love), then gone again. Very confusing.

What is this in the forumsI saw one about 1974 Miami show I assume that you sign up and someone mails you the CD and then you pass it on? Sorry I am not really uh knowledgeable about this. Planning a big party when i get the Pyramid shows. Thanks And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

It is indeed where people who sign up share shows by passing them along for the next person to copy the CDs and then send them on. There is a variety of Grateful Dead, Garcia, Ratdog, Phil & Friends and even other artists music to share. Click back to forums, then scroll down to the vineyard, click and browse.

Why does it always say "You are not allowed to post new forum topic"? Are we only allowed to respond to Admin. issued Topics on this board?

In short, yes. However, if there's a topic you'd like started, we're generally pretty responsive.

I have no idea. Delighted as I am to see you around these parts, it seems to me all the various Obama fundraiser topics are alive and well, other than the one with the original press release, which did get rather summarily removed as arrangements were not exactly firm at the time. If you want to PM me the particulars on this mystery please do!

There are more people who are willing to be Miss America! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

its because no-one pays attention to the independent candidates, most of us are just concerned with the two bloated bloodsucking political parties that have the most money (our money of course) that's all they see. you must look beyond these vampires....plenty of other candidates out there but it's harder for them to get on the ballot, because, again, money!!

Im so sad that all of the tickets are sold out for the Dead Heads For Obama Concert at the Warfield!!! You guys need to have another show so the rest of your fans can have a chance of seeing the greatest band ever supporting the best presidential candidate of our generation!! I would drive across oceans and fly through time and space for those tickets!! Please consider it, Morianna

I have a question: say I wanted to make sure dead.net folks were aware that HeadCount was auctioning off certain music-related items, like: 1. A Warren Haynes, custom Gibson Les Paul Guitar, signed by Warren himself 2. A Pearl Jam poster from their 2008 tour, signed by every band member 3. A Fender guitar signed by every member of the Allman Brothers Band and Bob Weir & RatDog 4. A guitar signed by every member of My Morning Jacket 5. A Rothbury poster signed by Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and three members of Phish 6. A Mile High Festival poster signed by Dave Matthews, John Mayer and 10 others 7. A pair of Congas played by Jay Lane of RatDog along side Bob Weir at a historic private performance in Washington D.C. on April 7th (signed by both) Where would I post something like that? (I get HeadCount emails, let me know if you want me to forward you the email with the auction link) ((Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and Phish - you know that's the after party to hit!))

I just wanted to post the auction list somewhere. The Ratdog/Allmans autographed guitar is still only $1000, and the Bob Weir autographed congas are an affordable $370. thanks, Mark
