dredly.com

I've just launched a new comedy story website http://www.dredly.com 2 Deadheads go on a quest to rid the world of evil and find comfortable footwear... But mainly to find comfortable footwear. On the way they take on psychotic moustaches, shape-shifting polar bears, Swiss killer gnomes, evil children’s entertainers and surveillance pigeons. And don't worry, this isn't a bit of clever corporate viral marketing, just me and my illustrator, so if you want trippy laughs, go to http://www.dredly.com Hope to see you there... And if you like it, tell everyone you know!! Please. Pigeons work in pairs!

The Dead Live in Second Life..The Music Really Never Stops..ever

You should check out the wonderful 3-D simulated shrine to Everything Dead in Second Life (secondlife.com) There is a sim called Darkstar, a loving tribute to the Grateful Dead that features an amphitheater complete with the "wall of sound", a parking lot with Further style buses, surrounding the Mars Hotel. There is also the beautiful Terrapin Station dancehall, modeled after the building from the Terrapin Station Limited Edition release. The island streams GDRadio 24/7 except during events such as special archival streams and live streaming performances by many of the musically talented residents. It is the most loving tribute to the legacy of the Grateful Dead I have ever seen. With Darkstar Deadheads have an opportunity to spend time in a virtual 3-D universe where the tour never ends and the lot never closes, where there is always another show, another drum circle, where the music TRULY never stops. Ever!

Grateful Dead photos and more...

Hello everyone, I've just launched a new website to display live concert photos I've taken over the past 30+ years. Although the site is still under construction, with lots more photos to come, I thought I'd invite everyone here at Dead.net to take an early look around. There's several Grateful Dead shows from the '70's already uploaded, with photos from Red Rocks and Telluride in the '80s to come. There's also some Phil and Bob solo shows and lots more. To take a look, point your browser to http://www.billallenphotos.com. Enter the site, click on Gallery, then click on Music and scroll down to the Grateful Dead links. Enjoy!!

Got one we should know about? Tell us about it here!

I hope you get some good responses from folks out there. You certainly put your finger on a huge problem out there, among many. The problem you have here is that this site is mainly commercial in nature and deadhead oriented second. That is, unless it sells something for Rhino/Warner Brothers/Dead.net there is not going to be a lot of time put into it, if any at all. So kudos to you for seeing a need and filling a hole. It's better than me bitching that we should have the vault indexed and graded, my pet peeve.

A remarkably intuitive and helpful site; I just searched out one of my favourite unrealeased shows (RFK 6/10/73)and jumped immediately to a Miller/Tobin SBD on AO, thanks!/kate

nedbase - live!

just an fyi... nedbase has gone live! Annotated Nedbase 1970 - 1975 Below are listed the performances, rehearsals, and recording sessions where Ned Lagin is known to have performed with the Grateful Dead, or with Phil Lesh, Jerry Garcia, and others. These occurred in the years between 1970 to 1975. This list is thought to be accurate but remains incomplete. http://nedbase.blogspot.com/ I-) ihor

How to lose hours, weeks, months, or even years on the net.

After exploring the net since seriously discovering the Dead almost 4 years ago, here is a list of at least some of my favorite sites in the ether. Note that a couple entries may simply link to a relevant article on an otherwise nonexclusive Dead site or a page on an exclusive Dead site the link for which can be trimmed back to the root for access to the main page and more resources therein. Certainly many will be well known to most, but you may yet find a few undiscovered gems. Enjoy!/K (sorry for the internal spacing, but in yet another flaw, these boards don't seem to recognize a hard "return" - thus, lists otherwise become a compressed mess) http://deadessays.blogspot.com http://www.gratefuldeadprojects.com http://www.darkstarpalace.com http://deadthinking.blogspot.com http://headyversion.com/ http://www.relix.com/articles/detail/whats_become_of_the_bettys http://www.deaddisc.com http://www.dharmarose.com/deadbase/dbsearch.html http://www.levity.com/orfeo/index.part1.html http://www.live-grateful-dead-music.com/free-grateful-dead-music.html http://www.gdao.org/items/show/396130 http://jerrygarciasbrokendownpalaces.blogspot.com/ http://thoughtsonthedead.wordpress.com/ http://agitators.com/gd/dick_1972.html http://www.dicklatvala.com/notebooks.htm http://www.gdradio.net/ http://www.deadlistening.com/ http://artsites.ucsc.edu/GDead/agdl/ http://www.andrewgeller.me/other-audio/musicologist-david-malvinni-on-t… https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

Furman Sound and its Grateful Dead roots

Read the story of how I founded pro audio company Furman Sound with a helping hand from the Grateful Dead. It all began in 1970 when I was hired by Alembic as a guitar amp tech. I was the person who modified Jerry's Twin Reverbs, and all kinds of other guitar and bass amps belonging to the Dead and other San Francisco musicians of that era. Later on, I went on the road with the Dead to do live recording, along with Betty Cantor-Jackson and Wizard (Dennis Leonard). You can find my name on the Europe 72 recordings, the Sunshine Daydream movie, and other stuff from that time. After that... well, you can read the rest at http://furmanhistory.com/ Don't worry, it's not a book-length memoir. It's only got the good stuff. You can read the whole thing in 15 minutes.

cool!

Thanks Janet Furman!!

Furman's a good story

Thanks Janet for sharing all that stuff about the beginnings of sound reinforcement and how you were involved in inventing and tweaking the various electronic gizmo's that musicians use to craft the art of music. I learned a ton about the history of sound and the Bay Area from your unique point of view and enjoyed all the details about the family way-back-when. Best wishes for all good things!

Furman Sound

Great Story Janet, successful company and time with my favorite band.Jim

TRUCKIN WITH THE DEAD - Radnomy Internet Radio

Unique mix spinning around the Music of the Grateful Dead in all its shades and incarnations along with other Jam Bands, Rock"n"Roll, Folk Rock, Electric Blues and other Music that fits into our universe. Mostly live Deadhead friendly this is NOT a "classic rock" station. No same old stuff or hairband noise anywhere. http://truckin-withthedead.playtheradio.com

Dear weirfreakin

Thank for the bobsessed list. It helps me a lot !

TipJar Mag

Just wanted to share my blog/site for anyone interested in reading about artists and subjects related to the Grateful Dead (and roots-related music in general). Feel free to contact me through the site! here's a recent interview with Steve Kimock that might be of interest: http://www.tipjarmag.com/2017/12/steve-kimock-blasts-off-satellite-city… the site home page is www.tipjarmag.com cheers!

ned lagin's spiritcats

http://spiritcats.com/ Spiritcats.com is the official website of Ned Lagin, his photography, art, writing, and music, including playing with the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia and others, his electronic music composition Seastones, and personal reflections on individual creativity, art, pictures, self portraits, erotica, and the natural history of electronic media world presence. ned has released two albums: 'cat dreams' in 2017 (http://spiritcats.com/catdreams.html) and a new 'seastones' in 2018 (http://spiritcats.com/seastones.html). both are available through the store at his web site.

cool!

I got to interview Ned Lagin once a thousand years ago. Very interesting guy. Thanks for the heads up.

Can anyone recommend any…

Can anyone recommend any European Deadhead sites?

language

Looking for Dead related sites that also support different languages. Using Google translate gives horrible results.

Song Singer List

Hello all, I'm a new GD fan and I was wondering is there a website/listing of songs where the singer is named. I know for pure Deadheads this is natural but for a newbie I get some of the other singers mixed up other than Jerry :). Thanks and sorry for the dumb question.

that's a great question!

I don't know the answer, though. Anybody?

Singer Song List

I suspect - at the very least - a latent hoarder in every Head; though in most cases it's patently obvious (the whole 'need more shows' meme is enduring because it's true!). So like any good fanatic I've stockpiled countless site links in a GoGD Favourites folder - a good 20%+ of which are probably now defunct. Actually, it's not 'countless', it's 42. I just checked. But among them I could not find (nor do I recall seeing) the isolated singer-song listing you requested.

Which doesn't mean you're out of luck. I don't listen to studio recordings (despite the obvious merit and popularity of Live/Dead, Workingmans & American Beauty), but the songs you hear in concert can - for the most part - be found with vocal credits there. Mucking about, I found the easiest way to locate this information is through the Wiki entries for each album. Start with the GD discography page and follow the studio release links to indiviual album pages where the singer(s) are identified.

Two caveats. First, there's an ocean of cover songs not attributed here, but as you become familiar with this list, you'll also become an Ace at identifying who's doing the singing in just about every tune you hear. Second, remember that personnel changes resulted in different singers for different songs in different lineups, though this is largely isolated to Bobby taking over Pig's role with respect to the Blues-y staples. Just ask if you have any questions.

One day you'll graduate to exploring the arsenal of equipment used by the band over time, and that's a whole 'nother universe of study (guitars are a particularly fascinating area)!

EDIT: Something else you can do is search utube for vids of a song to see who's singing; again, there were some rare changes in vocalists, but for the most part you can find answers this way.

Finally, I'll be releasing a bound, stocking-stuffer edition of this post in time for the Holidays!/K

Sort of Dead-related

Over at the Bill Graham Memorial Foundation, after many months of sporadic work by many folks, we have a searchable archive of (old) Fillmore, Fillmore West, and Winterland shows. We're still working on Fillmore East, and if you say, but...what about Days on the Green? you will not be the first. But in the meantime, have fun with it! https://billgrahamfoundation.org/shows/

Nice concert photos...

I was fortunate enough to have seen them ONCE. I snapped some nice shots of their 10-10-1981 show in Bremen (West) Germany. This is hopefully an effective way to share them.

I have a ticket page, an intro page and 4 pages of concert photos. (They played 4 hours, including the intermission!) The pictures can be accessed off the intro page, the second link below:

www.syntheory.com/policult/concerts/index.html

www.syntheory.com/policult/concerts/gdead/index.html

You'll find one page from a bit of a distance, and three pages from just right off front center!

Lol this cool paper model of Terrapin Station

If anyone is into model trains. Great paper HO scale model for Terrapin Station.

Wanting to start a GD Podcast

Hey all,

Wanted to start my own GD Podcast, play snippets of shows and talk about it, maybe have interviews/comments from folks that went. Does anyone know what the official policy is on this or who in the Dead organization I could talk to about that so I don't violate anything or step on anyone's toes?
