found this link the other day when i was doing some mindless surfing, it's an archive of several hundred grateful dead, phil lesh, and the others concerts. all live shows, some soundboard recordings, some fan recordings. they all stream, and some are downloadable, i need to find a way to download or save some of the streaming ones. right now i'm listening to a show that i saw in eugene in the early 90's. oh, and to keep this on subject, this is what i'll be listening to tomorrow night for the 'ganzaa.

One of my favorite sites...:thumbup:
 
Thanks for the link :D I'm not exactly a Dead Head but Jerry Garcia's the man. Sorry, WAS the man. :(
 
Very cool link. It has several shows I saw that for some reason I was never able to find. Thanks.
 
Saw the Jerry Garcia Band back in '75 or '76 at the Ohio Theatre here in town.

Saw the Dead once somewhere here locally, but danged if I can remember much....;) :cool: :thumbup:

"Please forget you knew my naaame, my darlin, Surgaree..."
 
Thanks for the link, many hours of good listening as I surf the Bladeforums:thumbup:
 
I've seen some shows over the years, here and in AZ. I was in Bozeman when I heard the news.

Saw "The Dead" a couple of years ago at Red Rocks, good show, not the same without Jerry. A big chunk of my Ipod are Dead tunes.

' in the shadow of the moon: Terrapin Station
and I know we'll be there soon ;)

Thanks for the link.
 
I've seen many hundreds of Dead shows, but, ironically, I was never a huge fan. I enjoyed their music, but I wouldn't place them anywhere on any list of my favorite bands. However, they sure threw a heck of a party.
 
The bus came by and I got on
That's when it all began
There was Boss Busse
At the wheel
Of a bus to INFI-ever land

Thanks for the link. I was able to find all of the shows I ever went to back in the 80's!
 
Never been a 'Deadhead' myself, but something some of you may find interesting. The father of one of my good friends was one of the main set and media designers on the original Monterey Jazz Festival and the original Monterey Folk Music Festival, in 1963 and while living in Haight-Ashbury. He left original contracts, hand-drawn stage sets, pieces of sets, hand written line-ups (w/ Bob Dylan playing 35 minutes), programs, etc., etc.. In the amassed remainders of a very successful hippies life, are several large boxes of handbills from just about every musical happening in San Francisco from the 60s. I have found many handprinted and machine produced handbills for the Grateful Dead and many 'Beins' that members were involved in(Amongst every other musical personality from that period). Tracing a bit of culture this way is very cool.

Just an interesting bit of history I thought I'd share as I sort much of it for auction and collections. Glad you folks who enjoy the Dead have found something to bring it home again.:thumbup:
 
Late eighties / early nineties I went to about twenty Dead shows. Awesome link for those who haven't seen it!

(The answer to your question is "yes." More Deadheads in the house. :))
 
While I sat here refreshing tonight I listened to the first show I saw (Foxboro 91). Thanks again for the great link.

On the surface it all seems unrelated, but does anyone remember what getting mail order tickets was like back then? It made tonights ganza look like nothing, right? Remeber that? You had to call in, get instructions, follow them to the letter (and we were all high as kites, mind you), get them post marked, and get them in. Then you found out a couple months later if you got them. If you did anything wrong you just didn't have tickets show up. Tough titty, right? Well I went to as many shows as I could back then. Now, I plan on sitting in on as many of these ganzas as I can, too. This is way way easier to participate in, and tons of fun.
 
Oh yeah, big time. Unfortunately I was a little too young to see them before Jerry left us. It's funny that this thread popped up. I mentioned in a thread the other day about the GW record keeping and it's similarity to Deadhead tracking of songs, shows, etc. See thread.

For those of you wishing to experience the Dead as good as it gets (aside from Phil and Friends) definitely see Dark Star Orchestra the next time they hit your area. They are incredible. Highly recommended.

I know right? That guy not only sounds like Bobby, he looks like him. And that guy who sings the Jerry songs sounds so much like him it's creepy.

If you haven't seen them, Dark Star is a cover band that reproduces dead shows from all three decades. Each show they do is a song for song "reinactment" of a show the dead did. They even bust out the same instruments that were timeframe appropriate. They are really talented. They got Bob Weir's stamp of approval in Rolling Stone. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Fantastic. Thanks.
My wife and I danced to "If I had the world to give" as our first song...so yeah, you could say we're fans.
 
Heck yeah! Only got to see the Dead a handful of times before Jerry had to go, but EVERY one was a positive experience! :thumbup: Me likey the Grateful Dead, thanks for the link, I will have to go find copies of my first show... the very LAST show ever at JFK Stadium, Philadelphia... The stadium got demo'd very shortly thereafter. I believe Bob Dylan played with them on that tour :thumbup: , 7/1987, wow nearly 20 yrs. ago... Holy ****, I'm gettin OLD!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

He sure does. Has the mannerisms down and everything. And Jerry would be proud to see his memory done so right. They've killed everytime I've seen them. They're not to be missed as they're doing their best to extend the long strange trip.
