Sitting On Top

I was wondering, this show is listed on the archive: http://www.archive.org/details/gd71-12-10.sbd.yerys.1311.sbeok.shnf But there does not appear to be a downloadable version/lossless? Is that right,only streamable? Someone mentions in the posts about downloading, but I do not see any files available other than the streams? Is there another source I can look up? Thank

The Archive

There's a lot of history and bad feelings and misunderstandings and water under the bridge over this issue, but the short version is that soundboard recordings are only streamable on the Archive. It looks like several versions of this show circulate, however. You might try asking around here, in appropriate places, if anyone has this show and would be willing to share. "A well put together unreality is pretty hard to beat." --Mark Twain

you might

check the Vindex topic in the Tapers Section to see if it's already being vined here. There are at this point literally hundreds of vines here.

Need specific Iko

Howdy, I heard a smokin' Iko Iko last November on the XM Dead Channel but cannot figure out where it's from. I've emailed them a few times with no response. It was played on 11/12 at 9:40 a.m. and I MUST have it! Any suggestions on how to figure it out? Many thanks....

Iko choices

I've always spelled it "Aiko"...anyway, Donna shared vocals from May 1977 thru 2/4/79. Did the XM Iko feature Jerry with Donna or Brent on vocals? Was it an opening song or in a sandwich? I'm particularly fond of this show from 5/15/77 >> http://www.archive.org/details/gd1977-05-15.mtx.sirmick.91911.sbeok.fla…

Dylan covers

Is there any one show (GD) with the most Dylan covers? In case of multiple ties, which were the best shows en toto and which show had the best and most Dylan covers? Thanks!

Iko-Aiko on and on ande

Way back before God gave us internets I was hard pressed to find the origins of Iko-Iko, having danced myself Rumplestiltskin style right into middle earth the first time I heard it live, and agian when I heard it sandwiched w/ Brother John and Man/Woman Smart. Like, what the f is a spy boy, flag boy, what's with the setting of stuff on fire in such a joyous song???I already had a decent background in Nawlin's music but only in the tunes not the history. Prof Longhair, Dr. John, The Nevilles, Toussaint, Beausoleil, All manner of Zydecos, but the Dixie cups had a killer Iko-Iko. Anyhow with the wealth of info at our fingertips we can wiki up info (true & false!) about Jocamo and feeno etc ad infinitum. The HBO show Treme has featured a lot of music I have heard from the speaker stacks at Dead shows and I LOVE it. I feel like an old hand. The Dead took me so many places around the world and up the backroads down the mountain trails and through the swamps of our own musical country I owe them and thank them so so much. Thank YOU......... for real good time as well as a great musical education. uh, this starteed as a suggestion to enjoy Treme where you will hear a bunch of good music! peace!

Stanford Concert late 70s?

Hiya — I've run across some reels labeled "Dead Stanford." The first number is "Alabama Getaway." From the context, I believe the recording was made between 1976 and 1978. Can someone enlighten me with details? I tried searching by location but dead.net just throws darts at me. ;)

1982 or 1983

Interestingly, Alabama Getaway segued into Greatest Story on 10/9/82 and again on 8/20/83, both times at Frost Amphitheater, in Palo Alto. The song was first performed in late 1979.

Alabama Getaway

Yeah, it is definitely not 76-79 as the Dead didn't play there those years, and as Ted says, Alabama Getaway was not performed until 1979.

kind music in DFW?

been in Dallas area bout 1 year. can't find cool tunes anywhere. can anyone help? dead covers great; good RnR, acoustic; any kind music, kind folks would be great. thank you

Deadhead Friendly Campground near Saratoga?

Hello friends! To the best of my recollection, this is my first forum post.I was wondering if anyone could recommend a deadhead friendly campground in the Saratoga Springs, NY area. Thank you very much! Please don't be sad if it was a straight line you had We wouldn't have known you all these years

Can anyone identify this CD????????

I have a CD with a blueish green background a silver squiggly line all over it and the number 6 (or maybe 9?) in a small box. I bought a CD collection from a guy and there is more dead stuff than I ever could have imagined, but try as I can I can't put my fingers on what this CD is. It doesn't sound live. The first song is Ripple, followed by Cumberland Blues and the 4th song is Eyes of the World. I'd insert a picture if i could.

Searching for date of Fillmore East Uncle John's Band

All I know is that the ending segment is this massive thing, and it was recorded at one of the last Fillmore East shows. Can anyone help me find this one? Cheers.

Wake of the flood album

I have noticed that i have a wake of the flood album that is misprinted. the track list on the album says Mississippi half step, sing your blues away, row jimmy, and Stella bluebut when the album is played Stella blue is before Row jimmy. Does anybody know of any information on misprints for this album because i have checked out a couple other wake of the flood albums and can't seem to find any like mine. any information would be great! Thanks.

Wake of the Flood album

Borncrosseyed - I may be wrong, but I'm sure that there were some Wake of the Flood albums produced illegally, and distributed through record stores. And the GD or the official distribution company, or label, called in the FBI to put a stop to the forgeries! I could be wrong, but I'm sure I've read this somewhere. So: to be outside the law, you must be honest! And there will be another sunrise

lost my iphone

I left my iphone in the back of a kid named erin's (I think) truck at the show in columbus on July 2. I would really, really like to get it back. Please contact me at locked4life@gmail.com if anybody can help me out. Namaste

interview

I am currently writing a paper for school on the Deadhead subculture. In order to complete this I project I need to interview someone within the subculture. Would anyone on these boards be interested in being interviewed? If so I would greatly appreciate it. We can do the interview over the phone, through email, or any way you please.Thank you for your time, Sam Starks

Small sign on station of Terrapin Station

I'm planning to ask a friend of mine to do a painting of the front of the Terrapin Station album cover. Does anyone know what the wording is on the small white sign on the right side (left front corner) of the train station? I've expanded the pic in Word, but can't make out what the sign says. Thank you, Steven

Cornell / May 8th, 1977

I'm just in the very beginning stages/brainstorming a book on the concert from 5.8.77. Widely considered to be the best show the band ever played, I'm hoping to gather enough photographs, recollections and other assorted information to turn the book into an oral biography. But of a show, not a person. If you were there and would like to tell me about the show/what you recall/what you saw please be in touch. No memory is too small! Feel free to email me at cornell5877@gmail.com. Thanks. Jawal Nga

Fire on the Mountain without Scarlet - GD

Can anyone help answer this - 1st show was Capitol '78 DeadHead invite show - Fire was played standalone. Loved Scarlet/Fire but it took like 40 shows before I actually heard it live - very weird! Anyway - none of my crew ever saw Fire by itself and I know I saw it again in later years - like between 84-89. When was it - does anyone know? Thanks :)

Fire without Scarlet

Did happen, but not very often. Here's what I could cull out of Deadbase: 9/16/78 7/13/85 6/22/86 7/4/86 9/8/87 9/24/87 5/27/89 9/20/91 - Help/Slip/Fire There's one you don't see every day! 5/27/93 7/3/94 Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I'm looking for information

I'm looking for information on Jerry Garcia's equipment during Filmore West '69 I'd like to know what effects he used.

where oh where ...

Does anyone into torrenting know where gdvault.com has scampered off to?

HIGH TIME in Vegas!!

I was at the vegas show (i think it was '91??) when they broke out "HIGH TIME". What was the date of this show and when was the last time "HIGH TIME" was played?? I know for a fact this was a ridiculously sick show. Please Help...lost in time!!

Fried head question

Please help. Last night on NPR I heard a fabulous GD version of a Rolling Stones song (or original of a RS cover of a GD song), but have no idea of the name. I would really like to have it, but need help. It was played immediately following a story on the passing of Owsley "Bear". Anyone, please?

recording shows

hey so i have been thinking about recording shows but have no idea where to start..like which mic's to use what kinda of recorder to buy ...etc... .any certain book to explain all the technical stuff.. do i need my own mixing board... my wife is part of the local music scene i realy what to record her jaming out. any info on where to start is highly appreciated.

head over to the Technical Discussion topic

which is here, and post your question, and I'm sure the kind folks will have all manner of advice for you!

So, new to the site, perhaps

So, new to the site, perhaps you uber experts can help: I'm certain I heard an instrumental version of Mickey Hart's The Pump Song a few years back on the radio. Now all I can find is the version with the layover of Greatest Story on it. I believe the version on Rolling Thunder has the lyrics attached to it too, but I'm not certain, as I haven't found a copy as yet. I would love to get the instrumental version, or, am I trippin? No such instrumental recorded? Thanks.

pummmpp

Hey Now: Don't know the answer to yer question teach. Maybe this site'll help?: http://deaddisc.com/GDFD_Mickey_Hart.htm

Thanks Wilfredtjones, I'm

Thanks Wilfredtjones, I'm looking into it.

2 questions

Hi! Has there been any official mention of setlists from the 1968 shows that were found in the vault for Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 2? Also, I was wondering if anyone can shed light on any of the "pitch" inperfections that have been discovered on official releases... I know that I have noticed some on the FILLMORE 69 patches and the "Alligator" on the RTV2N2 patch...

When, where, and how many times.....

Hello, sorry if this has already been answered. I tried searching, but kept getting the unable to display page. Anyway, I'm looking for some form of database that shows when and where, as well as the total number of times each song was played I'm looking for different versions of different songs to learn Phil's parts from (I know, daunting task trying to emulate such a rare talent). I have a fairly large collection of shows in digital format, and looking at each setlist is getting to be a bit tedious. Thanks in advance for the help, Rex PS, since I'm posting in a trivia section, I may as well ask; are there are electric versions of Deep Elem Blues or New Speedway Boogie? (Performed by GD of course)

when where etc

I find setlists.net the easiest to use. Good luck

Rhunter08: yes, excellent

Rhunter08: yes, excellent live versions of New Speedway Boogie from the early 90's. Years tend to blend together but I want to say '91 is when they broke it out. Deer Creek if my memory serves me correctly (not when they broke it out- when I saw it). i saw it on the west coast too that fall, I'm pretty sure. But yes, NSB was played electric, usually into Drums. J.T. Gossard http://thehallucinogenicbible.blogspot.com/

You all are great!

cosmicbadger, you are my hero! This is just what I was looking for, thank you so much! J.T. I appreciate the info. Thank you!

Las Vegas Shows

William Letizia The Dead played 14 shows in Vegas from 1991-1995. Where can I obtain copies of these shows, especially the May 30th, 1992 show? Any information would be appreicated. I am new to this site. Thank you.

Vegas 5/30/92 and Deep Elem question

bt.etree.org and www.archive.org both have the Las Vegas show. It is not in the Vindex, surprisingly, here on dead.net. Deep Elem was performed electrically after the October 1980 acoustic runs from San Francisco to New York. The 2 nights in New Orleans did not have a Deep Elem!! Check Lakeland FL from 11/28/80 sounds great. GD archivist David LeMieux just featured parts of the Glen Falls 4-14-82 show: Deep Elem is played here too. Use deadlists.com to search for the show, or the song, of your choice. New Speedway Boogie indeed was brought back in 1991!! 2/19/91, at first, with several more dates to follow, including Deer Creek and the Palace. I heard one in Salt Lake in 1995.

flubbed lyrics

I have had cause to wonder from time to time which song Bobby flubbed the lyrics on the most times. From a very uninformed position I'd take a guess at Truckin'. I'll bet someone out there knows which song and how many times.

shows attended

I'm trying to piece together some of the shows I've been to. Anyone know the dates when Led Zepplin was playing Winterland and the Dead were playing the old Fillmore? How about the date for the Winterland show that Wavy Gravy announced from stage that refreshments were being passed around "take a sip and pass it on." I don't think a lot of people heard the "sip" part :-O!!!! Seems to me Mr. Gravy may have been in a bodycast, but then my vision was fluctuating somewhat. That show might have been the Indians on Alcatraz Benefit. Any help appreciated!

Tour Rout Maps

Does anyone have or make tour rout maps? Of which shows they went to, when and where? Or does there exist a map of the GD's tours? By year?

Des Moines, Iowa Fairgrounds 06-16-74 Concert

I attended and have a copy of this concert from the archives sound board but the first tune, Bertha, only has half the instruments and no vocals. Does anyone have a clean copy of Bertha, the first tune??? If so, you can contact me at: w.antonelli@sbcglobal.net Thanks BillyA52

SiriusXM Top 30 Concerts: April 2025

Hey folks - I don't supposed anyone is tracking this and knows what #30, #29 and #28 from April 1-3...? I have the rest logged so far down to yesterday's 6/17/91East Rutherford show at Giants Stadium.

I listen to these daily but sometimes I miss Rob's preamble so it took a few days for me to clue in that this month would be a countdown...I am dialed-in now though and looking forward to catching the rest!

Thanks and have a peaceful day.

I live in England, myself

So as far as I am concerned the Deadhead Community is exclusively an online thing, that started for me about 10 years ago. Consequently it hasn't changed my life at all, although it is very pleasurable exchanging views with other people who listen to The Dead.

HI I'm Malena and i would like to know more about the deadhead culture for a college project. Feel free to answer as many of the following questions as you like I'm thankful for every answer :)
1. How would you describe the Deadhead-Communities philosophy and mindset?
2. What is your favorite memory of the community or the concerts?
3. How did the Grateful Dead and the community affect your life and does it still have an impact on you now?
4. What , in your opinion, caused scandals linked to violence or drug overdoses?
5. What would you recommend new Deadheads that would like to join the community? Is there something they should keep in mind?

30 Days of Dead archive

When doing a data transfer I managed to lose all of the 30 Days music I'd collected over the years
I thought I once came across a site that allowed one to download previous years, but darned if I can find it again.
Anybody help me find it again, or something similar?
Thanks in advance.
