    Not a very inventive user name but a deadhead nonetheless. Fan since they were the Warlocks. I've never used a chatroom and figured this would be a good start.

    11/1978 cancelled show in New Haven, CT
    i need help with some brief details about a show that I went to in New Haven, CT. I believe that it was in November, 1978. Everybody had gotten inside and we were waiting for the show to start. After a while, somebody came out on stage and said that we all had to leave and go home be cause Jerry got sick. That's all that I can remember. Can someone with a clear memory of what happened write me at halloweendeadhead@yahoo.com and let me knoe anything more? Date? Time passage from start-time to announcement? Who announced? Did we all hang-out or just leave in an orderly fashion? What went on in the parking lot afterward? I would really appreciate the feedback. Thank You, Jane H.

    I have alot of stuff I've bought in the lot...each one holds a memory, and I really LIKE grilled cheese, but yeah, greed moved in, and people just there for the buck without any thought for the music. Some kind folk made a passable living moving from show to show, " follow the circus!!" but not everyone was kind.......and yes, it IS still America!!

    Self Regulation is the only way
    If you choose not to regulate your self.their are plenty waiting and wanting to make more laws. And to regulate you. I my self thought Shake down was a Joke How many times do ya need to be Written by the Band Not to and Beware of what ya do. The Band and Friends caught the wrath . Because a few thought its more important for them to make money etc etc etc I went for the show I guess im one in 10,000. The parking lot after 85 was a joke prior just friends,and the lint ball rolled and grabbed many strange and selfish things. Self Regulation is the only way. Well time to Rake the colorful leaves up . Blessings to all. Enjoy the NOW Peace Smiley D Do For Other's you Will Feel Better!!! Guaranteed

I just asked Mr Pid the following question 'You at work?' instantly the chatroom window went blank and I got this message 'You have been kicked out. Further abuse will result in permanent banning.' had to log back into the chatroom. Promise not to mention work again!

I hope Badger's experience wasn't because of anything I said. I did respond to the question, even though it was just to say I had to go, because of that dreaded four letter word... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

It's been taken offline for the moment to see if it's related to some technical problems elsewhere on the site, it being one of relatively few new things that may have been a factor. More as I know it...

the chat room's down, so let me use this forum. first off, I am new at this on-line stuff and since my work just gave me a lovely Macbook, I feel the need to sit in bed and use it. I am searching for some specific older shows from my way back machine days. My tapes are shot and I have no where else to turn (heavy sigh). Anyone have a decent copy of Penn State 1980? It's my favorite China-Rider. My tape wasn't great and had my friend constantly looking for a lighter or bumping into the mike stand.... Anybody have a copy?

well in a way I feel the same, but then there do seem to be a whole lot of new folks appearing here too which is great to see...we used to be a little gang and now we are a big community here which must be good...but I think that is showing up some weaknesses in the site design..it is getting harder and harder to keep up and still very slow to explore a forum....maybe a shake up would shake us up too. The chat room was a really welcome addition.though may it come back soon!

I think it's safe to say that a lot of technical issues are being scrutinized, especially as things like listening parties and chat rooms get added to the mix. I share your pain about the system performance issues; I trust that they are temporary, but I understand the aggravation. It's always something! Thank you for your patience...

I am looking forward to re-introduction of the Chat Room. Think of it like this, there were many songs that the band stopped playing, but they came back. Dark Star (7/13/84 to 10/8/89), Black Throated Wind ('74 to '90), Casey Jones (84 to 92), Loose Lucy (74 to 90), etc. Just like the songs continue playing ... Ok lost my train of thought on this ... All good things, in all good time.

sorry, posted to soon. I enjoy getting in touch with heads all around. Immediate satisfaction is something that chatrooms give. A good conversation was also one of the reasons I loved the shows. The chat, kind of resembles the lots...etc.

I share cosmicbadger's concern for potential problems here, but have somewhat mixed emotions. We were always free to attempt to strike up random conversations in the lot or the show without identifying ourselves, and while the chatroom context is similar (to me,) it does lack the physical proximity/available security dimension of an in person encounter. Perhaps a solution might be to require that a virtual token be delivered via email and re-presented to the site for anyone desiring to post in the chatroom anonymously. That would create some semblance of accountability at least. It's hard to imagine any possible problem caused by someone who merely wanted to eavesdrop, but not actively participate. It's not like there can be any assumption of privacy in what is effectively a public space. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I have a feeling this is a leftover fro the KPFA chat, but also I think it's worth letting it run a bit and see what happens. We can always turn it off later, I would guess.
