    you'll probably have better luck in the Tape Trading Topic. You might also check the Vineyard to see if it's being vined.

    Wow?
    Thanks. The strange thing is I don't recall ever having a Dead or JGB album or tape called Reflections. Hmmm??? Uh-Oh ... Could I be having another 1 of them senior moments? LOL Well now ya all know I'm 1 of them older Dead Heads. Too much weed. LOL I need to see the cover of Reflections. Is it on this site some where? Probably, yes? I just need to learn how to find it. Well ... I found it. It still isn't making any major bells go off. However, all the other song titles look familiar too. In fact I was wondering about many of those other songs too. But I just can't remember having this. But I must have had it. Well, once again, thanks much.

    Keith's first show was 10/19/71 which also featured a few other firsts, like Tennessee Jed, Jack Straw, Mexicali Blues, Comes A Time, One More Saturday Night and Ramble On Rose. Donna's "official" first show was 3/25/72. Keith and Donna's last show was 02/17/79. At least according to deadbase, anyway. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    congrats, obviously you made a post! "I'll Take a Melody" is on Reflections. It was written by the great Allen Toussaint, who may have written a bad song sometime in his life but if so I never heard it.

    NotDeadYet-John, But I believe the Keith and Donna era was from the Fall of 1971 to Winter of 1979. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

    How to post New Post
    Hey, I want to make a new post, but don't see how to do it? If I could do it, I wanted to ask a few questions. 1. On which albums did Jerry do the studio version of "I'll Take a Melody"? I know I once had it, but I can't remember which album it was on. Can anyone tell me? 2. I want to know which years did Keith and Donna Godchaux play with the band?

    Thanx, Marye, for all your research. I finally got in touch with some friends who were also there and they told me the show was Dec 8, 1973. Amazing how 30 some odd years can mess with your memory.

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

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?

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.
