Desert RatDog .. is as

Desert RatDog .. is as serious as it should be at a time where everything else is becoming a joke! the question is what kind of budget they require? I personally do not have the slightest idea. I'm commited to contacting the local sponsors and organizers and intiate the event actual mainifistation once a budget is determined. Peace.

Reigning Rats and Dogs

Yikes! It was actually supposed to be just a condensation of Ratdog in the Desert, not a suggestion for a new moniker, but if it works for you and you want to run with it, more power to you brother! Hopefully stuman's contact will pan out into something. Anyway, they have a couple of sites, the official www.rat-dog.com, and (the I guess unofficial) www.ratdog.org. If you can find a way to pull this together, then I'll have no excuse for not coming. I'll just have to take care not to step on any doobies on the way there! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Yeah it is an amazing...well

Yeah it is an amazing...well magical place. It is worth the visit. Really bug Jazz scene actually. Plus lots of east- west music coming through.

Hello Marye (and anyone who can read this), how are you? I became a Dead fan after my first show in March1992 (@ The Omni in Atlanta). I am American, but I moved to Egypt about 6+ years ago. I didn’t have the pleasure of seeing the Dead when they played @ the Pyramids, but I have the CD/DVD that came out in 2008. (If you have seen it, I love the extra footage of some of them climbing one of the pyramids ;) ) Do you know (currently) any “heads” in the Middle East or Egypt? I am doing my best to make it to the upcoming 'Fare Thee Well' shows. Are you coming? (I know, that may be a silly question ;) )

1971 RESEARCH PROJECT

Good morning rockers!!!! As many of you may or may not know, I am a bit of a “1971 Dead fanatic”. I have taken on a slightly ambitious project, documenting all 1971 Dead shows, the end result of which I hope will combine numerous “facts/factoids” about shows with recollections of folks who actually attended Dead shows in 1971. In order to accomplish this, I need the help of the Dead fan community. ALL contributions will be properly and specifically credited. If you attended ANY shows in 1971 and have ANY recollections to share, PLEASE consider participating. Please PM me for details. While of course I’m happy to hear from anybody who attended “classic 71 shows” such as Port Chester, Fillmore East, Harding Theater, Felt Forum, etc., I’m particularly interested in hearing from folks who may have attended lesser known, “out of the way” shows, such as: 1/21/71 Davis 1/22/71 Lane Community College 3/5/71 Oakland 4/14/71 Bucknell 4/18/71 Cortland 6/21/71 Chateau d’Herouville 8/4/71 Terminal Island 10/19/71 Northrop Auditorium 11/11/71 Atlanta 11/17/71 Albuquerque In addition, if ANYBODY out there has “paper ephemera” related to 1971 shows, Please consider participating. I’m looking especially for: Newspaper/print media articles Show posters/handbills Ticket stubs Photographs Thanks in advance to all who participate and contribute! Rock on, Doc Gillespie
