StoneMtn Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 StoneMtn was fortunate enough to be at the first Grateful Dead show to include a "Loose Lucy" since 1974?What show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 :thumbup: As an interesting tidbit of bonus trivia, I'll add that the following night was Phil's birthday, and marked the only show I was ever shut out of for being unable to get a ticket, and the only riot I've ever been in outside a show. (cops on horses, tazers, billy clubs, screaming, running...)Good times.BradM? Next question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 OK, here goes: What groundbreaking on-line community has been closely associated with DeadHeads? Bonus question: what does the community's name stand for?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 If I remember right from back then (and I never participated in it, I only heard about my friends using it at the time) I think it was called "The Well". People actually "broadcast" setlists right out of and during the shows, in like 1994 or so, which seemed like magic.I don't think I know what it stands for (or in fact that it stood for anything) but am I right about the first half of the question?

bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yup, so I'll give the second half: The WELL (note the capitals) stands for The Whole Earth 'lectronic Link. It was an offshoot of the Whole Earth Catalog. It dates back to the mid-1980s.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Okay...I don't know whether this happened more than one time on this holiday, or not, but:In celebration of which holiday, did the Grateful Dead open their show with the band members playing each others' (ie. the "wrong") instruments?

bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 The only one I can think of without looking it up would be...April Fool's Day (with which I have a strong association).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) OK, here's a personal one: I never saw The Grateful Dead. I did see The Other Ones, and in a fairly legendary venue for The Grateful Dead, except for it having been renamed after a corporation.The opening song, which I missed due to being delayed getting in by being too far back in line, was especially appropriate.Which (date and venue) show was it, and what was the opening song?Edit to add: I'm going to bed now, so I'll deal with the answers tomorrow morning.Aloha,Brad Edited June 12, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'll take a guess:McCaffy (formerly "Oakland") Coliseum; where the Grateful Dead played every legendary New Years run of shows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the song you missed was "Beat it on down the Line?" I think that was in 2002 or 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and it was like crazy freezing rain and really cold. i was gonna say that but reconsidered as Brad's post talked about being behin in "the line". always trust your first mind.Incidetally I think that was the best post-dead show I've seen with any line up of the original members. really hot jams...Wow...

Booche Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Incidetally I think that was the best post-dead show I've seen with any line up of the original members.I agree. That tour had some REALLY hot moments. Boston second night? dogatthestation would know for sure, but he played one for me that knocked my socks off. I have no idea why they changed the lineup after that. We were quite excited for the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Booche is correct, and I remember the (missed) opener as "Cold Rain And Snow", because we were actually out in the cold rain and snow while we waited in line.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Incidetally I think that was the best post-dead show I've seen with any line up of the original members. really hot jams...Wow...I think the highlight for me was the instrumental "Stella Blue"; Jimmy Herring's playing during that just about melted me.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) There is one Skank has made a direct song request of/to a member of the Dead at a Dead show and had that song played. Further, it was a show opener. Who was the Skank, which show (date & venue) was it, and what was the song?Aloha,Brad Edited June 12, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
