Dead&Company Nov 5 Wells Fargo

Excellent sounding show. But I have a complaint - our seats were the farthest away last row against the wall from the stage - the lights from the stage were pointed right at us. We were blinded almost the entire night. We couldn't even watch the screens for the lights. Is there a way to notify the people in charge of the lighting that they need to make sure they are not blinding anyone. I have already lost some of my hearing due to the amount of concerts (mostly GD), I really don't want to lose my eyesight due to them..... Other than that light issue - the sound was awesome, the fans were awesome, and the music was on point!

Show help

Hi all. i'm trying to find a show and set list from it, but I cant seem to find it in the show archives. It was my first Dead show and I LOVED it and have been a head ever since. I don't recall the exact date. What i do know is that it was roughly 1976-77. A warm beautiful June or July afternoon/night in a small outdoor stadium in New York(not the city). Like a college stadium with one cement level. The dead was the headline band with 2 other openers. One was the Good rats. I found a show in 1979, but i'm sure the show I saw was before that. If anyone can help me 'remember' that show I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks

a question from real life

"HEY, WHO WON THE WEED BOWL, MAN?" - a question shouted in my direction (from a vehicle) in July of this year whilst standing on a corner in Seattle, WA outside Uncle Ike's pot shop. The guy next to me was wearing a Weed Bowl 2014 t-shirt. Something in my mind tells me all the competitors were winners.

Reviving a question I asked about a year ago...

Surely someone in the world knows the answer, and I'm somewhat surprised that this information has been so difficult to locate. Here's what I posted last year: My question is about Sam Hughes and John Williams. Those are the two guys in the 1977 Dead movie who were filmed while arguing about the movie itself. Sam Hughes was claiming that it was too commercial and exploited the Dead fans for money. John argued that it wasn't, and that in a few years Sam would watch the movie and like it. They ended up making a bet. Does anyone know what the bet was, whether or not it was paid off by the loser and/or what ever became of Sam Hughes and John Williams? I've searched the Internet but only found references to the segment in the film. In a way I would think many people would have followed up on this since it was such a noticeable part of the film, but I haven't had any luck. Thanks.

Similar to the Road Trips, any chance Dave's Picks show up on ITunes? I'm late to the party. Hope to start with 24 and the subscription for 2018. Would love a chance to grab some of the previous releases. Same question regarding the 30 trips box. Would be great to have access to them as well. Thanks.

Archived Tapers Section access

I paged back within the Tapers Section this morning, looking for a features from October 2009: the chronological order goes wacky before 2011. Is there some way to find the older selections?I refererenced this index to find and listen to parts of the 10/19/80 show. https://archive.org/post/336569/deadnet-tapers-section-chronological-in…

this is a known issue

which is being addressed as time permits. I'll ask how it's going. Thanks!

How about a topic of Kindness?

Hey now, Just received the help needed.I asked for an act of Kindness, I lost my Dave's Picks 24, I request help, 2 members helped me out, and in return I helped them back. This is great, now would like to see a Pay It Forward, or an act of "Are You Kind" only topic.

we do have that, sorta

Try the Help on the Way thread: http://www.dead.net/forum/help-way And well done to helpful folks everywhere.

Are you Kind?

Marye, Help on the way ! Fantastic, I will do that right now,Thank you.

Suggestion for where to post

Hi there- New to Dead.net, got an idea how to navigate, but could use some assistance finding the best place to post a request for assistance on a project. I am producing a photo book on the closing of Winterland. I am seeking fellow Deadheads who were at the show to share their stories for inclusion in my book. Where might be the best place to get a request like that seen? I have an email account where people can reach me for more details and to communicate about the project. Thanks for your assistance. Jarid

this actually has pretty good visibility

but send me a PM if you don't hear from folks. I myself was not there so I have no tales!

yes, help please- where did…

yes, help please- where did the "my shows" tab go?
thanks Lance

My Shows

got derailed in the transition. We're aware of this and working on it. Thank you!

track function?

When you click on a user (by the way, clicking on user not functional from every thread as it had been on prior site), the track function is no longer available. Any thoughts about bringing this function back so we can track a user's posting activity history?

access to database

Hi,

I am a software engineer experimenting with some data visualization technics. I would love to get a copy of the show database to experiment with. This is not for any commercial purpose and I'm happy to open source any resulting visualizations.

Does anyone know where I might get a copy of the show DB?

thanks,
Joshua

I would suggest

contacting the DeadBase folks.

GD Covers Contest or Exposition

Hi Mary, I recently read about a contest or exposition of Grateful Dead covers by other bands. I couldn't find any detail anywhere. Nor can I find the original source. Have you heard anything? Was I just hallucinating?

Thanks! Jim G

Maybe the Dead Covers Project?

Which should be coming around again soonish, but meanwhile, here's the DCP from earlier this year: http://www.dead.net/features/dead-covers-project-2018/dead-covers-project-2018

My Shows

Still aware that it isn't here and still working on it? It's a shame that the new "crack team" of web designers were so easily outdone by their grandfathers.

Um, Can these possibly be replanted?

3/25/1972 setlist corrections

I have 2 corrections for 3/25/72

1. I've Seen Them All is in between I'm A Man and Jam - Dick's Picks #30

2. Following the Lovelight was a Casey Jones which ended the show - I was there. They launched into Casey Jones just as the final notes of Lovelight faded.

hi is it possible to search…

hi is it possible to search through registred users? to send a message to someone?

yes and no

There is no user search function. However, if you start a message and type in a likely name it will present you with a lot of options. This only helps if you sorta know the name they're going by. The flip side of this is getting friend requests on FB from people you have no idea who they are and they're all "Hey, it's me, HippyDude!"

Licensing images for use

Hi - Long time fan, first time caller. I am looking for direction. Specifically, I am building a boat, and I am planning on sailing it around the world. I'd like to use modified versions of GD iconography/images. I want to do it on the up & up- and would like to acquire rights to do so. Initially, I do not view this as a commercial endeavor, but eventually there may be some commercialization.

Does anyone have contact info for the licensing people that I would need to contact?

Sailing

let me see what I can find out.

Buying Digital Downloads From Amazon In Europe

Hi,
I dunno it this is the right place to post this.

I live in France. I want to buy Ladies & Gentlemen The Grateful Dead as a digital download. I look on Amazon France but they don't have it listed so I can't buy it there.

I go to Amazon UK, find it, put it in my basket & then try to buy it with my UK credit card. It is refused. I ask Amazon UK why, & they explain it's because my UK credit card has my French address.

OK, I talk to my daughter who has a credit card with an English address. She tries to order it, & on the product listing it says "This product is not available for your device" because her phone is in Beijing, though her bank is in UK.

So why do Amazon France sell some Dead recordings but not others which are readily available on Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain (I just checked) ? & how do I get a copy of Ladies & Gentlemen The Grateful Dead living in France?
