    the other one in korea
    Hey ya'll, another fine feathered friend in Seoul. I got a message this morning that there is a rumoured dead cover band here, and I finally got a lock down on one of their shows. They play the rocky mountain tavern in Itaewon on December 8th. I'm normally not in for cover bands (DSO I love of course) but over here any kind of water is gonna taste like wine, so I'll be there for sure.If anyone's in Seoul and interested in going, hit me up with a message at barbareeman@gmail.com Peace!

    I recall the morning I was awoken by my mother calling from afar, I had just returned from Phish Tour recently and had a party at my parents house the night before and only fell asleep at about 7am and she called me at noon or somewhere around this time and told me to turn on the T.V. (I was 20 yrs old) She said that she was very sorry and she would call back later on. I said, ok why mom what's wrong? She said Greg please just turn on the T.V. and then I will call you back later on. I hung up the phone and immediately turned on CNN and found out that Jerry Died. I went through my process and continued to have a party at my house and broke every boundary and invited everyone I knew within the scene. This day lives with still today as it does you. Please check out this feed from YouTube. This is why I love Jerry as he was enjoying something that I am now just discovering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veMIlpyYoqc&mode=related&search=

    good to be in touch...
    Thanks marye, it's great that you're doing this here... E-mail sent to gespacho jones... Isn't it such a tragedy that the GD never came over for an Asian tour? Imagine, Tokyo Osaka Busan Seoul Beijing Xian Shanghai HongKong Bangkok Singapore... maybe more -- what a great tour to follow it would've been... at least Northeast Asia. And still now, neither 'The Dead' nor Ratdog nor Phil& will do it... don't know if they ever even consider it... I sure wish they would!

    Deadheads in Korea
    Hey Now -- are there any other kind-folk in Korea (south, of course) besides me? I'm originally from Michigan, but have been living over here for more than 20 years -- missed a lot of great late-era GD shows by doing so, but did make it back to San Francisco for a few, once in awhile -- and during all this time i did not neglect to build up my tape/CD collection -- could now be the biggest one in Asia except for (masonskids) in Singapore [hi, Tim!], for all i know... Anyway i'm hangin' in Seoul now, playing the Academic game... If there are any other Deadheads now in Korea, let's get together -- drop me a note at this login-name at yahoo-dot-com. And if any deadheads come over here for tourist or business visit, or a semester of study or tour of army duty, whatever, do get in touch and i'll be pleased to play "host" for you a little, give you some orientation.... Keep On Aikoin'!

    long after the band leaves the stage, the music played on. it's a delight to once again join the community that touches deep, even from Shanghai China. There ain't no boundaries 'xcept for the ones we place on ourselves. My interaction with the music and the community is sporadic and often unplanned in the post-performing years. Yet, when it happens, it's powerful and feels good. This is one of those.... Peace Love and Understanding jeffyd

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
