| This is going to seem like a VERY strange post for trades...but, I know there are a few Phishheads, and old time Deadheads who frequent the boards....
In my younger days I was really into collecting bootleg dead tapes....I probably have about 80, and I no longer even have a tape player...
Anyone interested in a tape for bait swap deal?

| Slam Diggity, what shows do you have for Phish? do you have Dayton, OH 1996 fall.
If you have a list of concerts, you can post here or email me at work, not my hotmail account.
Just so happens that Steve and I are both phish phans.
Do you have Phish singning Cracklin' Rose? email me, post here...i like tapes, i have lures...lots and lots of lures.
peace in the east

| No Phish boys....sorry, but only Dead, Jerry, Allmans, and I think I have a Pearl Jam bootleg of a Chicago concert.

| Thanks for thinking of me, Mike! Hey, I would be interested except it is doubtful SLAMR has any shows I want that I can't download onto a CD from the web. See, there's a site out there called "deadshows.com" (I think that's the exact name) where you can download entire shows for free and the audio quality is usually excellent.
SLAMR - I no longer collect shows like I use to, and I can't tolerate the poor sound quality of many of the tapes I have, but I can't give them up yet either. Say, if you were into the band, I bet you and I were at a few of the same shows through the years. I made it to most of the Chicago, Indy, St. Louis and Detroit shows in the 80's and early 90's. Good times[:devil:] . |

| OK, I'll bite. I have tape players in the vehicles (now, you do mean cassette and not 8-track, right???). I know a shop that deals in Hughes River stuff, if there's something I can get for ya e-mail me. I think my address is in my profile. Anything from Alpine would be cool. let me know, mm[:bigsmile:] |

| Mikie,
You have mail, yes I mean cassette tapes, and make sure to call me sometime after 7pm central at 847/989-9271.

| This thread is cracking me up. The only thing I have more of than muskie baits is Dead shows on tape and CD. Got a shoebox full of ticket stubbs and show memorabilia too. |
|
| |
|
| I think I lost my last few ticket stubs while moving a few times ago...always cracked me up trying to read the set lists that I tried to write down on the stubs...in the dark, under the influence, etc.

| Favorite Dead Show Moment:
1988 was the second-to-last Alpine Valley appearance--4 shows in 88 and 3 in 89--and the Dead played Mon-Tues, and Thurs-Fri, with The Who coming to town that Saturday.
We had the 24-ft UHaul 4 parking rows from the top gate. In the 80's they used to let you arrive around Noon the day of the first show, and they let you camp out until the morning after the last show.
It was f*ing really hot and dry. Dry is strange in Wisconsin in June/July. But everything was dust in the lot all week.
Since I lived nearby, many of my friends had caught on to the idea and most showed up for all or at least part of the 4 shows.
Anyway, the entire event is still my favorite run of shows I ever went to.
It was definitely the week that I became wholeheartedly a music freak (but I have to pick the last of the 4 as my favorite show that week):
06/23/88 (Thu) Alpine Valley Music Theatre - East Troy, WI
Set 1: Iko Iko, Minglewood Blues, It Must Have Been The Roses, Me & My Uncle > Mexicali Blues, Stagger Lee, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Bird Song, Promised Land
Set 2: Hey Pocky Way, Believe It Or Not, Women Are Smarter, He's Gone > Drums > Jam > I Need A Miracle > Gimme Some Lovin' > All Along The Watchtower > Morning Dew, E:Blackbird, E: Brokedown Palace
Later,
Papa Joe
Minneapolis

| So many great memories. That's the beauty of the music, you can relive some of the moments.
I'd have to do some digging, but I believe the last show I saw was in '93 or '94 at Richfield Coliseum (maybe?). I know the Stella Blue was an absolute tear-jerker. Jerry was wailing. It was replayed in the set that Gans put together for the Dead Hour the evening after Jerry died. To this day it gives me goose bumps.
I could go on for pages about show moments, but I think we all understand.
Moderator: We camped (in the VW bus, of course) at a lake in Georgia during spring tour somewhere along the way. That's fishing related, right? |

| Ah, good times. One of my favorites was a late 70's St. Louis show where we had seats in the center of about the 20th row on the floor. (Keil Auditorium) I was bringing 3 big beers back to the seats, standing in the aise trying to spot my peeps through exceptionally dialeted pupils, when the crowd decided to rush the stage. I was pushed along with the crowd, looking down and trying hard to hold on to those beers, and suddenly found myself immediately against the stage and right smack at Jerry's feet. I stayed for the rest of the set, of course.
Jamie - I spotted your Saint of Circumstance line quite a while ago and smiled. I think Punch and Judy (out east) are of the same mind, too. Mikie in Ohio is for sure. Didn't know about SLAMR until I saw this post. I wonder if we were ever all at one show at the same time.
Recent publications (books) by Dead family insiders sure paint a pathetic picture of Jerry toward the end of his life. If not for the Persian addiction, he would probably still be with us.[:blackeye:] |

| Ranger, I'm sure we were at many shows together. Do any of these places sound familiar:
Omni-Atlanta; Palace of Auburn Hills; Deer Creek; Buckeye Lake, OH; Bonner Springs, KS; Richfield Colliseum, OH; McNichols Arena, CO; World Amphitheatre, Tinley Park IL; Soldier Field;
Just to name a few off the top of my head.
My cousin and I actually got FRONT ROW seats (Phil's side) for the Palace Show in '92. What a great night that was. |

|
| Did the Tinley Park shows, and all the Soldier Field shows all but the last year. Ahh the stories I could tell...if there weren't people under the age of 18 reading this....And a nice little Bob Weir show at the old Poplar Creek, and Jerry at Allstate Arena and the Bradley Center (no smoking?).....

| Oh, yeah. I can't catch muskie, but I can talk Dead shows. Every one at Buckeye Lake, I thought I saw Jamie stepping over me!
Ranger, for shame. Jerry was clean when he went. That otta teach lessons: Sudden change is never good for the bod.
I do play dead cd's in the boat. Funny thing, once I put on a BB King selection and nailed three nice catfish in 6 casts. What species bites best on Ratdog, I wonder? m[:bigsmile:] |

| Jamie - 92 Palace?! At the first show I had a great big Steal Your Face flag and we were skipping around the lot and in the show asking people to sign it for us. Naturally, we chose those folks who were the absolute weirdest, plus spinners, bikers, totally tripped out fools, cops, vendors, the guys working the sound board, etc. Must have gathered about 400 signatures. At one point in the break we had our whole seating section chanting "Robert! Robert! Robert!" to an uptight security guard who refused to sign it. Don't ask me why, but on the second day many people thought we were charging for the priveldge to sign the flag. They would come up with cash in hand, "How much to sign the kind flag, duuuuude?" We put it away then. So, did you happen to sign a Dead flag at the 92 Palace shows?
Jamie, Mikie and SLAMR - we should have a "Too Many Dead Shows Survivors Outing". |

|
| Papa Joe is invited too, of course. |

|
| Wait, maybe we did the flag at the 94 Palace shows as opposed to 92. |
