Trivia questions, who wrote that song, when was the last time the Dead played Deer Creek, etc.

Opps

Sorry, wrong thread - I'll post in "Stuff" and maybe marye can nuke this one. "You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music."

Cosmicbadger - thanks! Lost Sailor found!

Cosmicbadger, thanks, I found the Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance I was looking for. I should have known it was one of the shows in my own back yard, The Spectrum in Philadelphia. I used setlists.net, searched all 145 instances of Lost Sailor and picked the shows that looked familiar. Wouldn't you know it was the last one? http://www.archive.org/details/gd86-03-24.naks.braverman.16746.sbeok.sh… Thanks again!

Dicks Picks 13 Info

the Scarlet Fire is from 11/1/79 Nassau Colisseum I find the best source for this kind of info to be http://www.thebestofwebsite.com/Bands/Grateful_Dead/Grateful_Dead_Live…

sorry for all the aggravation. I've attempted to clean it up, and Jonathan is aware of the situation.

In search of info re Bill Graham quote

somewhere on some tape, there is a classic Bill Graham moment in which he berates the howling-for-an-encore crowd about the fact that it is always about "Moooooorrre!" and never about "Thanks!" It has always been one of my favorite bits, to say nothing of words to live by, but I'm looking for the specific show and if possible the verbatim quote. I'm thinking East Coast, late '70s, but I'm guessing here. I got this tape when I only had a few, and now it's lost in the pile and I don't know which one it is. Many thanks!

hello!

Hello! Sounds like you guys are having fun. It's been years since I last heard one Grateful Dead song. So grateful I've dropped by. Have a nice day!__________________________________________ kristi Don't be a victim. Stop credit card debt now. We can help. http://www.stop-credit-card-debt.com>

marye

Have you found the quote/rant you were seeking? I know I've got it, just have to dig it out. I'll try and find it this evening. It is one of my favorites. The Zen of Uncle Bobo. . .

no, haven't found it

so would welcome the info if you find it!

man oh man

my moldy memory is getting worse. ) -; I have been knocking my head against the wall trying to remember which show that is from... I haven't actually done a tape 'review' yet, but for the life of me I totally spaced on what venue / date that was.

Uncle BoBo Quote

Here you go Marye,I knew Instantly what show you are talking about. It is the rant in between encores at FIllmore East 04-29-71 The crowd claps and chants MORE!... Bill Graham interrupts the crowd. "" Will you hold 1 second.. 1 second please. We don't know when were going to have the next opportunity for the people that work here. So for us to them we want to thank them. There is a question that I can't answer. Is there anyone really like the Grateful Dead? It's an amazing amazing group. I would like to give credit where credit is due. One of the ushers before I think wrapped it all up. You can use sentences and sentences. Someone was talking about music and this usher said, "The Grateful Deaad aren't just music, they are an environment!" which is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard! So if you want to...if you want....For 1 time if you want to applaud fine, but instead of yelling more and more. Why don't you try sometime, thinking the musicians are here and hanging out. Leave it up to them and don't be assholes all the time. Just let it hang. Leave it up to them. OKAY!.... more more more more. Just hang out!"" I had to listen to it a few times. I think I got all the words correct. enjoy! Let the music flow.... Deadtaper

Just found it myself

The Zen of Uncle Bobo.

cool, thank you!

and thank you Uncle Bobo!

Bill Graham was a wonderful

Bill Graham was a wonderful and visionary man. I was lucky enough be a blue coat for a time. He was alway's very aware what you were seeing was real history. Not just an event being seen for the moment ,but a life changing historical situation that would only grow stronger with time. Hence his frustration at times with those that he felt didn't see it at the time. He also knew you had to get into the moment for it to become history and sink deep into your soul. He knew there was a balance. I remember him talking with us before a day on the green show featuring some rather hard rock bands - who shall remain nameless - about respecting that the people that come to see the show deserve the utmost respect, that they are here because of the music and one should not prejudge them, but be diligent about making sure it was a good enviornment for them to enjoy - the music. It was very powerful coming from him and something I have never forgotten. He was and is a great man in every sense of the word and shall be missed by all who knew him and many more that did not. pk

Lookin for a Terrapin with an orchestra

Several months ago we heard a version of Terrapin on the Grateful Dead Channel on Sirius Radio. It was with a full (awesome) orchestra and a choir. Can anyone tell me what we heard? It was really amazing! Would love to hear this again......... Sorry if I'm writing this in the wrong place, I can't post in a new forum............whats up with that? Thanks much~

Lookin for a Terrapin with an orchestra

i suspect what you heard was from dark star orchestra but i dont know much else about them

petition the dead

not sure if the moderators will object but I'm trying to do my part to spread the word...please take 30 seconds to declare your support by signing this petition to raise the dead... http://www.petitionthedead.com/

mountain breeze

That's the studio version of Terrapin Station from the album 'Terrapin Station'. The producer was responsible for that one- trying to make it large and grandiose because it was considered such an 'epic' song. Just from the studio album in 1977. DSO isn't an orchestra. They simply reinact historical shows from the Grateful Dead repetoire. They don't have any means beyond what the Grateful Dead did making music on stage. I do recommend trying to see them when you can. They do a great job making the music, energy and dancin' live on. .......And there were days I know when all we ever wanted was to learn and love and grow.

Looking for set list for Old & in the way show

Please, please, please

Please tell me the Dead will be making at least one more tour as the Dead in the Pacific Northwest. My new daughter needs the experience before the experience "goes where no one may follow" so that she "may hold it dear as it were her own.". - I miss Jerry...

Recommendations

Not sure where to post this, but I'm looking for show recommendations from '81-'86 and '91-'95 as I have very little from these eras and would like to know about any gems from those years.

mike

you might ask about this over in the Vineyard, because I'm sure suggestions will abound.

4lp box set

i now know that this is a unlicensed bootleg I picked it up at yard sale, woundering if anyone has any other information on it. Also in one of the sleeves were a few old ticket stubs. The cover looks like this: [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/7374/img18…]

4lp box set

link to larger photo

here The liner notes say it was made in Venezuela and recorded at Rick's Cafe in Casablanca, which will probably come as a surprise to Deadbase. The song list is enough of a mishmash that it doesn't seem likely to be a full show per se. How does it sound?

Info on show in Boston 1969

My first show was in 1969 at a club, I think The Boston Tea Party (they changed names often in those days.) Opening act was Bonzo Dog Band, middle act was Doc Watson, then the Dead. Am I remembering this right? I've been googling, and find info on Bonzo and Dead but not Doc. A great show, if my wavering memory serves.

Thanx for the link Marye

Wow that is very interesting !! looks like collectors material .. would love to give it a listen .. where the ticket stubs from Rick`s cafe also ? that vinly may be worth some $$ to a big collector .. Don`t ebey it , music on ebey never sells for what it`s really worth ,, not that i would ever sell something like that .. Thank you for sharing that with us Mr.Soul ..

The song Eggshells

A friend sent me a song "Grateful Dead - Eggshells.mp3", its a live recording, and not that great quality recorded, i found the lyrics: http://vagalume.uol.com.ar/grateful-dead/eggshells.htmland here: http://moemoemoemoe.blogspot.com/#112925168409278437 but i cant find the song in the songlist on this site therefore i was wondering if anyone has some more information about it (is it really by the grateful dead, does it maybe have another name, where, when and with who is it recorded, and is it an "official" recording or recorded by someone from the audience) Any information is appreciated, thanks alot

well...

I've sure never heard of this song or those lyrics. They don't appear to be in the Annotated Lyrics. I'd be curious to learn more also.

Eggshells

Well, Wander, when I came up empty I decided to ask Alan Trist of Ice Nine, the Dead's publishing company. He searched his databases, he searched his memory, and he too says he's never encountered this before. So I think we know pretty definitively it's not a Grateful Dead song. Wonder whose it is?

Track lists of Closet Deadhead podcasts?

Anybody got the track lists of Sam Whitmore's Closet Deadhead podcasts?Thanks, Frank --- www.stash-radio.de

no...

but if you're talking to Sam tell him hi for me. I haven't seen him since Macworld Boston in about 1997...

Okay...

... I'll do that. He just answered my mail but can give me the track lists not before January. Never mind, I got time and I'm looking forward to them.Greetings to all of you! Frank --- www.stash-radio.de

Mr. Soul's 4lp boxed set

I have a copy of that 4 lp set "Good Lovin"...decent sound quality & probably recorded in the late 70s. Definitely a collector's item for lovers of vinyl & good old grateful dead! There are several other LP bootlegs from the 70s in my collection from the days before widely available tapes of live shows...how times have changed!Jay

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.
