Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

Last 2 set show w/o drums: Providence Civic Center, Providence RI; 1/18/793 shows with almost identical 2nd sets: Providence Civic Center 5/14/78 Campus Stadium, UCSB 6/4/78 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon 6/25/78 I haven't listened to the show, but was there really a Nobody's jam in the 6/4/78 show? If not, then the Dead played 2 completely identical second sets within three weeks of each other. Still not bad for a band that played for 30 years. It would seem almost impossible for it NOT to happen!!!

Can you name the last 2 set show, post 75, where there were no Drums in the 2nd set?All Dead shows were different but three second sets were almost exactly the same, can you name those three shows? There must be a taper or 2 out there who can answer w/o looking at the Base.

Well, as a semi-dinosaur here, new threads works out just grate nevertheless. Just pm marye for what you want, and she's ultra reactive with our reasonable thread requests. Think it helps alot this way, with keeping repeats and utter chaos to a minimum.********************************** It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

I think it was Kesey who said acid gives you a swisscheese aura. Because I know some of you are highly susceptible at this point, I beg you all to visit the following website and follow the instructions: http://zapatopi.net/afdb/

This is the oddest message board I have ever been on. No one can start new threads? Oh well...I got tickets to the April 19th show, Im happy!

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!

Gilmour paid tribute to Wright on Monday, saying his input was often forgotten. "He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognized Pink Floyd sound," he said. "I have never played with anyone quite like him." "Are you kind?"

Sad news indeed!!! Tragic!! PINK FLOYD KEYBOARDIST WRIGHT DIES ~ LONDON, England (AP) -- Richard Wright, a founding member of the rock group Pink Floyd, died Monday. He was 65. Pink Floyd's spokesman Doug Wright, who is not related to the artist, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He says the band member's family did not want to give more details about his death. Wright met Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason in college and joined their early band, Sigma 6. Along with the late Syd Barrett, the four formed Pink Floyd in 1965. The group's jazz-infused rock and drug-laced multimedia "happenings" made them darlings of the London psychedelic scene, and their 1967 album, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," was a hit. In the early days of Pink Floyd, Wright, along with Barrett, was seen as the group's dominant musical force. The London-born musician and son of a biochemist wrote songs and sang. The band released a series of commercially and critically successful albums including 1973's "Dark Side of the Moon," which has sold more than 40 million copies. Wright wrote "The Great Gig In The Sky" and "Us And Them" for that album, and later worked on the group's epic compositions such as "Atom Heart Mother," "Echoes" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." But tensions grew between Waters, Wright and fellow band member David Gilmour. The tensions came to a head during the making of "The Wall" when Waters insisted Wright be fired. As a result, Wright was relegated to the status of session musician on the tour of "The Wall," and did not perform on Pink Floyd's 1983 album "The Final Cut." Wright formed a new band Zee with Dave Harris, from the band Fashion, and released one album, "Identity," with Atlantic Records. Waters left Pink Floyd in 1985 and Wright began recording with Mason and Gilmour again, releasing the albums "The Division Bell" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" as Pink Floyd. Wright also released the solo albums "Wet Dream" (1978) and "Broken China" (1996). In July 2005, Wright, Waters, Mason and Gilmour reunited to perform at the "Live 8" charity concert in London -- the first time in 25 years they had been onstage together. Wright also worked on Gilmour's solo projects, most recently playing on the 2006 album "On An Island" and the accompanying world tour. "Are you kind?"
