Just curious... If someone wrote something about a show, say in 1984, would it get added to the Deadlist project? I was reading 1968, and was impressed with the level of detail, the stories and remembrances. I have been meticulously getting the shows I was at during my prime Dead time 82-87, when I was seeing the shows and becoming an active tape trader. This has brought up the need to keep handy, reference materials like Deadlists, Tapers Compendium, Dead base, etc, etc.
Well, if the living history of the 60's and 70's warrants all that extra commentary, analysis, etc...So do other eras of the Deads career. I would love to contribute stories, (remember Bobby climbing the PA stack at the Henry J, Fall 85, or the funeral like atmosphere onstage at 12/31/84, with Jerry, haggered, sweaty and all, belted out the line, "Forget about the Dead you have left, they will not follow you" in It's All Now, Baby Blue. I was right in front, between, Bobby and Jerry, the energy and the infinate sadness that radiated from Band and Crew during that song was palpatable. Flowers and wreaths were draping the stage. I didn't know what had happened (I was told later), but it blew me away, this was more than a hometown rock show, this was family celebrating and grieving together. Stuff like that. Just curious what process this goes through. Is it up to each individual years caretaker to decide what does or does not warrant inclusion? Robert
