    Fire on the Mountain without Scarlet - GD
    Can anyone help answer this - 1st show was Capitol '78 DeadHead invite show - Fire was played standalone. Loved Scarlet/Fire but it took like 40 shows before I actually heard it live - very weird! Anyway - none of my crew ever saw Fire by itself and I know I saw it again in later years - like between 84-89. When was it - does anyone know? Thanks :)

    Cornell / May 8th, 1977
    I'm just in the very beginning stages/brainstorming a book on the concert from 5.8.77. Widely considered to be the best show the band ever played, I'm hoping to gather enough photographs, recollections and other assorted information to turn the book into an oral biography. But of a show, not a person. If you were there and would like to tell me about the show/what you recall/what you saw please be in touch. No memory is too small! Feel free to email me at cornell5877@gmail.com. Thanks. Jawal Nga

    Small sign on station of Terrapin Station
    I'm planning to ask a friend of mine to do a painting of the front of the Terrapin Station album cover. Does anyone know what the wording is on the small white sign on the right side (left front corner) of the train station? I've expanded the pic in Word, but can't make out what the sign says. Thank you, Steven

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.

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

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.

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!

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
