    1994 GMC Vandura Camper Van

    I bought an RV from a family in Penn who said the camper made the entire last tour. It has some Memorabilia glued inside like the coin, and stickers, so I believe them but they had no further info or pictures. Looking here and asking if anyone remembers who had it, or if anyone has pictures of it. Would like to confirm my RV has a good history. It is a Coachmen, 1994 GMC Camper Van, white with blue trim. Love to have an old picture at a concert of it.

    Not sure if either of these refer to you song. You said it was an instrumental, did it have horns? Piano? Jazzy? Bluesey? Rap? Was there an accordian in there anywhere? Oboe? Check these out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeway_(song) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h17u4Ihs-RE [Chet Baker Freeway The Definitive Chet Baker 2002 - YouTube] the 1st link doesn't want to be a hot link, but if you cut and paste it, maybe it'll work.

    GREATFUL DEAD SNOWBOARD?
    As I understand it, somewhere around 1985, Jerry Garcia decided a Grateful Dead snowboard would be a great idea. A graphics company was commissioned to design one, and my late wife Sue Hill, a GD staffer in those days, was the point of contact. Sooz never mentioned whether the thing ever went into production, but the prototype of Jerry's snowboard is still here in the basement. Can anyone tell me any more about the history of this project? It needs to find a good home. A few pictures: Snowboard http://oi59.tinypic.com/111l6dk.jpg Closeup (This photo is not out of focus, it's actually broken up like that on the prototype) http://oi60.tinypic.com/2cfv4nr.jpg Lunatic Fringe http://oi60.tinypic.com/ak9ah0.jpg Thickness http://oi57.tinypic.com/j96f61.jpg Sue Hill, circa 1985: http://oi61.tinypic.com/207ap9z.jpg

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!
