Trivia questions, who wrote that song, when was the last time the Dead played Deer Creek, etc.
yo...jimmy row
Got me humming the tune to Row Jimmy now... "Julie catch a rabbit by his hair.... Come back steppin like to walk on air..." Thank you, RH !
I was at the Market Square 10/1/76 show. Frankly, I hardly remember the venue but sure did love the show. There is a terrific recording available on www.archive.org, an audience job, done by the late Jerry Moore.
Fast forward to 1981. There is a vine circulating in the Vinyard (Downunder 1981?) with the 12/5 show. It's an outstanding show, too.
Venture back into 1973 to hear the 10/27 State Fairground show, when you get the time, too.
album artwork?
Hello everyone.
Hoping I can get pointed in the right direction here. I am looking for a site were I can download artwork for my shows. I used to go to http://www.gdcdcovers.com but it looks like that site no longer exists. Specifically looking for Buffalo 92 art.
Thanks

Looking for second encore at Soldiers and Sailors Hall, KC, KS
I am almost POSITIVE the Dead played a second encore after Casey Jones on 10/28/77. It was my first Casey, AMAZING, and I recall the Dead left the stage, the roadies started breaking it down, but the fans were going wild! We would not leave. The Dead finally came back out and played another. That is how is remember it to this day. But I can't find any evidence to back it up, as all tapes/recordings from that show say Casey was only encore. Anyone share my memory??? Was it a dream, or another show, or ???Thanks.
Make Believe Ballroom
In the late seventies (I think!) I got a tape called Make Believe Ballroom.It was very good, and had a lot of Blues for Allah material.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a Dick's Pick or Download?
Thanks
deniscompton
that would be the fisrt "One From The Vault". I have that vinyl bootleg too, and it was such an exciting time after the Dead's 'vacation' to hear that new material and how excited the band was to showcase it for us.
The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

Warlocks in Richmond VA?
I have always heard the tale that after the Grateful Dead were banned from Richmond that they came back one more time as the Warlocks, but have never seen any setlists or dates that would show this to be true. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?
Thanks!!!!
Need your favorite tour moment
Hey all! I am giving an informative speech in a communications class about the tour experience from a fan's perspective. I toured for a short time, but I missed the 80's. I am looking for your best tour moment. Either on the lot, at the campground, or in the show. Godd, bad, ugly, anything. My speech is in 2 weeks. Any help is much appreciated!
San Francisco Live CD
Demon50 I have a CD titled, SAN FRANCISCO LIVE, consisting of live tracks which "were made at concert performances on US college campus, and for US college radio during the late 60's and early 70's." Two of the tracks are by The Dead. The first being, Morning Dew, clocking in at 8:37. The second is, Turn On Your Lovelight, which runs 10:36 and features vocals by Pig and Janis Joplin.
Does anyone know where and when the Lovelight track was recorded?
Thanks. Tony
Lovelight
Per the Grateful Dead Lyric and Song Finder, 7 June 1969.
"A well put together unreality is pretty hard to beat."

Lovelight, part 2
The only other Lovelight with Joplin that I know of is 7-16-70, Euphoria Ballroom, San Raphael, CA.

Lovelight
Thanks for your reply, blue.jay.way. Given a choice between the two suggestions you offered, I believe it to be the June 7, 1969 concert at the Fillmore West. I have a partial of the Euphoria Ballroom show that includes Turn On Your Lovelight with Joplin singing and the version on SAN FRANCISCO LIVE is completely different as well as being about eight minutes shorter.
Mystery solved.
BlueJayWay & Anttheknee....
Today, I just found the handbill from the Euphoria Ballroom shows .....the shows were quite fun I might add
I was listening to ''wake of
I was listening to ''wake of the flood'' on vinyl and realized that on my copy the songs list Mississippi half step, Let me sing your blues away, Row Jimmy, then Stella Blue. but when you play the album Stella blue comes before Row jimmy. i looked at a different copy of the album that my friend owns and his plays the way the label is displayed. I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about the album or if anyone has an album like this one?
sounds like...
...a mistake in the pressing. Put it on "Antiques Roadshow".
jazz for allah
I have an original copy of Jazz for Allah, a wonderful album but can find absolutely no information about it, it says smoking crocodile and smoke 1 on the album that is it, has anybody seen or heard this?
Jazz for Allah
Perhaps related to Joe Gallant's Blues for Allah Project?

Jerry in Nudie suit
does anyone have a photo print of Jerry wearing the Nudie suit? I have looked all over photo sites and search engines on the internet and have come up zip. I have a large photo(in a book I own) of Bobby and Billy in their Nudies-were Phil or Mickey ever photographed wearing theirs? I know Jerry's had skeletons on it-was black with lots of rhinestones. Thanx to anyone who might respond-have a peaceful day
Steve Reich/TC/Dark Star
I've been listening to Dark Star from Two From The Vault. TC plays a repetitive figure that works really well, and reminds me of Steve Reich and of Terry Riley. I'm sure that Reich lived in, or near, Haight around the time that the Dead lived there. I hope I'm not imagining this!Terrific Dark Star, anyway...
Steve Reich
Captainbrearly, I knew that Reich and Phil Lesh had been classmates--looking for a citation, I found this extract from a larger work, detailing Reich's connections with the SF scene, including TC. Thanks for asking the question, I wouldn't have found this otherwise.

Steve Reich
And thank you, bluejay, for the answer. I especially liked the bit describing how Terry Rileywalked out of Reich's concert, and then turned up to introduce himself !
And another book is added to the captain's I Want list.
A well put-together unreality? Mercedes Benz are good at putting things together. Maybe I'll
call them...
Thanks again, mate! I appreciate the time and effort.
First touch
Not a pain at all
First performance was the encore at Capital Centre - Landover, MD 09/15/82
http://www.setlists.net/?show_id=1429
first performance I'm aware of by Hunter
was 10/9/81 at what I believe was still the Boarding House (it was Wolfgang's later), but it was my first Hunter show and there may be an earlier version. Judging by the exuberance of the delivery, I think it was the first though!
Hunter's First Touch
Well, Mary, you got me to looking (I love looking up stuff), and the earliest "Touch of Grey" I could find was, according to Setlist.com, 8-21-80, early show, Other End Cafe, NYC. Unfortunately, db.etree doesn't list it, which probably means no recording circulates. Darn it.

there is a tape of 10/9/81
I got one from Ron Marcus, I think, maybe 20 years and a couple of house moves ago.
Let us just say I was stunned and here I still am.
Opened with Touch of Darkness.
I can't get this song out of my head, but...
I can't get this song out of my head, but... I can't find it on any of my CD's.
I'm thinking Bobby & the Midnites, or Kingfish, even possibly The Dead.
Weir sings:
"something
something
She's got some kind of hold on me.."
Chorus:
"Far Away
GOT TO Get Away"
Help, please! What is this song? What CD is it on? Thank you. pzahutt@yahoo.com
Far Away
Grateful Dead Lyric & Song Finder
Far Away
Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Cochran, Kelly, Weir
Played by Bob Weir with Bobby & The Midnites, and once with Kingfish
You ask why I'm desparate and worried
And hid out down in Mexico
See, there's a woman I left in a hurry
And there's more if you'd like to know
She appeared to me straight out of nowhere
We made magic like some lovers can
But that magic turned black as a nightmare
So I packed up what's left of my sanity and ran
Far away
Get away
Far far away
So far away
Far away
Far away
Got to get away
I suppose I could just have surrendered
Would have been easy to do
Would have been one dizzy bender
She's a sweet little sorceress too
But she'll find me down here, ah, so easy
Some special sense that she's got
God, she's so witchy, so crazy
Yeah, she's got a talent for stirring up the pot
Far away
Trying to get away
Far far away
Run away, run away
Far away
Got to get away
Far away
Got to get away
Far far away
Far away
Got to get away
She might find me tonight, got a feeling she might
She's got some kind of hold on me
I'd try to escape, but still there's a part of me
Want's to just let it be
Yeah we might meet tonight, with a fire so bright
Tomorrow'd be easy to see
A smoking crater, some broken hearts
And some amazing memories
Far away
It's suicide to stay
Far far away
Far away
Got to get away
Get away
Far away
Far away
Far far away
Far away
Got no reason to stay
Got to get away
[etc]

I tried that search engine but obviously I didn't use a suitable search term/phrase.
Thank you VERY much for your assistance. Now I can let something else drive me nutz!

Can someone tell me if ther eis a difinitive source for this show? Is the one on Internet Archive a good one, or even the best avialable?

I'm probably not the best equipped to answer, since I don't have this show in any form, but I'd hazard a guess that the official release of Dick's Picks 15 is gonna be the one to go for. I'd think the Archive version you reference, since it's a Rob Berger transfer, is pretty good, too, but obviously not a sbd.

1970 SOTOTW?
OK,
I had a tape way back in high school, it was of a Dead show that was from 1970 or 1971. On it was the most blistering, energy driven version of "sittin on top of the world" I have ever heard. It was part of a segue, from what and into what I do not remember.
I would love to find that show again, it was through the roof.
TIA,
Henry

12/10/71: Truckin' [7:59] > Drums [3:26] > The Other One [13:35] > Sittin' On Top Of The World [2:53] > The Other One [6:02] > Not Fade Away [6:01] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [6:18] > Not Fade Away [1:00#]
12/5/71: Dark Star [8:27] > Me And My Uncle [2:31] > Dark Star [12:23] > Sittin' On Top Of The World [4:16]
10/21/71: Dark Star (1) [15:09] > Sittin' On Top Of The World [3:16] > Dark Star [2:03] > Me And Bobby McGee [5:56]
