    Taking the Dead Everywhere
    The world really is round and I keep going round and round it :) I install telephone systems for a living, great big expensive ones that takes months to install and I do it in such fun places as Lome Togo, Brazzaville Congo and Kathmandu Nepal (to name but a few). Everywhere I go I have my trusty MP3 player and speakers with me. More than a few times I have been working hard with a Dead concert playing at a suitable (LOUD) level, only to turn around and find quite a few of the local workers dancing away in the halls of the building I am working in. We even used a really good copy of 10/22/78 (Winterland after the Egypt trip) to test the outside speakers at the U.S. Embassy in Lome Togo. It was the only music played there that the neighbors did not complain about. In fact they asked for more!

    the natural sounds coming from the place. They will transport you to a different temporal rhythm which is ageless. You will never wish to leave due to your lack of gravitational positioning making you impervious to any sort of forward momentum.

    Dharamsala to Kathmandu
    From Dharamsala (Home of the exiled Dalai Lama in India) to Kathmandu, Nepal I've seen the influence of the Dead. The first time I saw the Dylan & The Dead cassette was in a tea shop in Dharamsala run by a young Tibetan. Kathamandu, a hippie mecca in the late 60s and 70s with it's Freak St. in the touristy area of Thamel, has it's shops with Dead T-shirts. By the Boudhanath Stupa there are a few places here and there where you will hear the music of the Dead. There is certain rock station there that plays a lot of Dead but don't know if they still do. I recommend both places to any heads traveling to that part of Asia.

    Japan rip off Dead festival ... Oshino Dead
    Here in japan there is a Dead meeting every year by the Mount Fuji. This year I have driven thru 3 states a full set PA for the second stage, but due to lack of decent organization I were rip off of the promissed travel expenses and rent cost, I realy wonder if the Oshino organization is linked officialy to the official Gratefull dead in any way and if so, why is such disonest person in charge of handling the Gratefull name in such ungratefull manner???

    Hi y'all, There are a couple of Grateful Dead tribute shows coming up next weekend - 24th and 25th of October in Seoul, South Korea. If you live in Korea, it'll give you a chance to meet the other Deadheads here and have a great weekend in the spirit. Both shows are in Hongdae district, 24th at Club Ta and 25th at Freebird. If you're on facebook, you can find the event page under name of "Spiritual Hustlers take Hongdae - Club Ta / Freebird." Hope to get some Deadheads filling those clubs. Oh, both shows are FREE by the way! All the Best, Zee P.S. If you're not on Facebook and want more info on those shows, please don't hesitate to e-mail me at vylabrie@gmail.com.

Good morning rockers!!!! As many of you may or may not know, I am a bit of a “1971 Dead fanatic”. I have taken on a slightly ambitious project, documenting all 1971 Dead shows, the end result of which I hope will combine numerous “facts/factoids” about shows with recollections of folks who actually attended Dead shows in 1971. In order to accomplish this, I need the help of the Dead fan community. ALL contributions will be properly and specifically credited. If you attended ANY shows in 1971 and have ANY recollections to share, PLEASE consider participating. Please PM me for details. While of course I’m happy to hear from anybody who attended “classic 71 shows” such as Port Chester, Fillmore East, Harding Theater, Felt Forum, etc., I’m particularly interested in hearing from folks who may have attended lesser known, “out of the way” shows, such as: 1/21/71 Davis 1/22/71 Lane Community College 3/5/71 Oakland 4/14/71 Bucknell 4/18/71 Cortland 6/21/71 Chateau d’Herouville 8/4/71 Terminal Island 10/19/71 Northrop Auditorium 11/11/71 Atlanta 11/17/71 Albuquerque In addition, if ANYBODY out there has “paper ephemera” related to 1971 shows, Please consider participating. I’m looking especially for: Newspaper/print media articles Show posters/handbills Ticket stubs Photographs Thanks in advance to all who participate and contribute! Rock on, Doc Gillespie

Greetings from KL. Four years in and as far as deadheads go feel like a stranger, there just an't any in this town who I've met. Live music scene is very quiet too, nothing like Jakarta or Beijing! If you're passing through or staying for a while PM me.

Well, it's been 7 years since I wrote this initial post looking for deadheads to hang with in Nagoya, Japan. While I've enjoyed venturing to such places as the Oshino Dead Festival near Mt Fuji in 2013, Yukotopia a few times( Hi Kuma) and the Happy Farm Music Festival near Nagano in 2016, I've been looking for someone I kind spend time with on weekends listening to tunes and exploring the area. Still hoping this can happen.

Dude, are you still in Nagoya? The whole current scene has turned me into even more of a recluse than I already was, but just so ya know, you ain't the only one. There are quite a few Japanese heads around this area, but it may not be so good for your visa status to get too close. :P

Hello,

My name in Kenjiro and I am a deadhead skier and musician living in Lake Tahoe.

A group of local Lake Tahoe Deadhead skiers and snowboard riders are coming to Japan with our guitars this winter (February or March) with hopes of meeting other deadhead Skiers and Riders in Japan. We want to ski, ride and play Grateful Dead songs with Japanese skiers and riders.

If you or anyone in your group is interested in joining, we would warmly welcome you.

If you know anyone else interested or can help us with meeting other deadheads in Japan, we would be very grateful.

We look forward to your reply.

Thank you,
Kenjiro "Willy" Green
