Grateful Dead

Uncle Jon pm'd, he'll reseed in a week or so. Also pdave has responded, and he never recieved the More May '81 vine from arkdeadhead....

I just checked and I have 2 DVDs (flac/shn) labeled May '81 so that must be the May '81 vine I got. I would be willing to re-seed this in a week or 2. I always make copies of the DVD vines on DVDs as backups.

This is what i discovered. The following vines stalled with carolina boy-3-28-81 cole field house both died this spring the following vines died with deadhead33- pomo's 197 vine (after the 5th person) fall downunder vine both died in sept. '09 uptown '81 (or lady with a fan stalled this one) early fall 1981-demised with timgard1 (have pm'd 2x now) may 1981- died with lonestar darkstar flac me flac you- was last seen with markinthedark The following 1981 vines may be alive yet- cleveland rocks #2 - pm'd 1958 about it fall 1981 europe vine- unclejon (said 2 weeks ago he'd check into it) nye 71/81- pm'd ripple1974 on this fellow more may '81 vine- on this one i pm'd pdave about this to see if he ever got it from arkdeadhead, if not that is where it died So in essence 9 out of the 12 vines of 1981 are dead......... from 1981 I have 3-12-81 3-14-81 5-01-81 10-11-81 all in wav. the spring shows just smoke and are very high energy..... I agree with dstache, I would really love to see this complete year, but I would settle for whatever people are willing to share....thanks and let me know what I can do to help the cause

Here is all the 81 I have as far as dates. A lot of these have already been vined. 26-Feb 27-Feb 28-Feb 7-Mar 9-Mar 13-Mar 18-Mar 20-Mar 30-Apr 1-May 8-May 9-May 11-May 12-May 13-May 15-May 16-May 4-Jul 13-Jul 14-Jul 12-Aug 16-Aug 28-Aug 30-Aug 31-Aug 12-Sep 13-Sep 25-Sep 26-Sep 27-Sep 30-Sep 2-Oct 3-Oct 4-Oct 6-Oct 8-Oct 12-Oct 13-Oct 16-Oct 17-Oct 19-Oct 29-Nov 30-Nov 2-Dec 5-Dec 6-Dec 31-Dec "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Sounds good, jsfc. The 5/1 Miller is a remaster of the SBD I listed (I linked through deadlists, which doesn't list the Miller source for that show, rather than search on archive, that's why I missed that one). I thought the Vernon AUD sounded better for 3/20 but the SBD is fine too. I have 17 SHN/FLAC '81 shows, plus a few more from Oct that I haven't gotten to yet (probably from jsfc). Considering that I still have in my queue to listen to those fall 81 shows, 20 shows just acquired from unclejon (mostly 83 and 85), 15 more JGB 76 shows, all the 81 JGB on jsfc's vine, about 10 '90 shows from rmb, and, oh, probably another 40 shows (68, 70, 71), I cannot possibly recommend that we pool our resources and do a huge everything from 81 vine. Or can I?

From your list I have: 3/9 sbd.miller 3/13 all.aud.rolfe and a sbd for set 2 3/20 GEMS.sbd 5/1 sbd.miller And Maustin - I have started a few 81 vines (like 3 maybe?) in the past. Do you know if they are stalled or not? I guess I can do some searching and check on their status. I also have a bunch of stuff from the fall. "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Well, since you asked, here are the early 81 shows, and sources, that I would LOVE to see vined: If you can pick only 8: 3/9 Miller SBD 3/10 rolfe.miller.95276 and the set2 SBD 3/20 vernon,9198 3/21 sbd.clugston.6666 3/23 weiskircher.32145 3/24 weiskircher-vernon.10308 5/1 sbd.hinko.29087 5/5 mow.ford.28356 If you can do 8 more: 3/5 either the Wise or GEMS AUD and the set2 SBD 3/6 either the Wise or GEMS AUD and the set2 SBD 3/12 rolfe.miller.95259 3/13 wagner.miller.90455 3/14 rolfe.miller.95288 5/2 sbd.miller.30152 5/4 milner.ford.90454 5/17 either the Munder or mow.ford AUD These are all shows that I do not have. I selected the sources after taking a quick listen to various sources on archive. 81 isn't the best year for SBDs (I thought some of the AUDs definitely sounded better) but I went with the Miller SBD when available. Thanks guys if you have these shows and vine them, even if they aren't my preferred source (it was cursory research so I could be wrong, here and there at least) :)

Oh yeah I have a ton of 81. "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Tell me what '81 you want... and I'll do my best to get them out there.... Raymond

all you folks out there with some large collections, do you think we could see some 1981? There really isn't much still circulating here in the yard, and I just came across a couple high-energy shows from the spring '81 tour. ( I would like to get them out there in the yard, but need to check the Vinedex.)Just a thought if anyone out there has some, I'm for sure one interested person, either for vine or trade.....
