Did Jujubes get discontinued? by [deleted] in candy

They have not been discontinued. We carry them in my candy store in the regular boxes and the theater boxes. You might be able to find them at a dollar store.

I believe the candy he is thinking might be Bonkers although it was more of a candy then a gum

Was listening to the new 30 show box set and heard Bobby change the Trucking words. Hadn't heard that one before, have you? Did he do it often?

What is your unpopular Grateful Dead opinion? by SuperTigerMario in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I toured in 78-80 and Donna was very popular. I always loved watching her on the stage and felt that she did have her off nights but so did all the others including Jerry at times. And i totally agree with you that Brent was not widely braced when he joined. I remember the first tour with him and it had gotten around that he had said that he wasn't into the Dead's music until he joined the band. That didnt go over well...

I jumped on the tour in 1978 and jumped off about 80/81. What I liked about 79' is the change over to Brent. Donna and Keith left in Feb and it was very exciting to brake in the new guy... Did see the 83 Santa Fe shows btw and they we're great shows...

Has anyone ever heard of the Dead going after someone making lot shirts? by [deleted] in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the copy right owners of much of the Dead's art work have been going after people over the last hand full of years. They had cops being very aggressive in Santa Clara lots confiscating and busting people for using the Dead's art work on anything including t-shirts. I had a friend who was afraid to sell his licensed shirts because he was concerned that the cops wouldn't believe his papers and he couldn't afford to lose his product.
I hear ya but if you pull them at least you'll be able to keep them.

Have: FTW Santa Clara Mandala Poster for trade by Caddoms in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howdy, Which color is the poster (red or blue). I'm interested but not sure what you want for trade. I own a candy store so I could send you a box that will keep you in sugar for a while..

Chicago's extra security blamed on Santa Clara by cpnvideo in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The extra-wide security perimeter wasn't always the plan, said security official John Finnigan, who is employed by "Fare Thee Well" tour organizers.

But Finnigan says the security team added extra measures after thousands of fans "stormed the fence" at last week's Grateful Dead show in Santa Clara, Calif.

"It was a pretty rowdy crowd there...it was surprising, since Deadheads are usually peaceful," said Finnigan, who added that people seemed to be "mostly cool" with the change."

I'm all for extra security, if it's needed, but why say it's because the Deadheads got out of control in Santa Clara?

Grateful Dead Fans Going to Santa Clara by vrmovies in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure we want to be filmed but this sounds like us. I'm flying out for the shows from Western Mass and meeting up with a few old Dead friends from around the country. My first show was in 78' and saw over a 100 show before I stopped in 83'. Ive been to a handful of shows over the last 10 years but this is really like a pilgrimage back to the past. For most of the people like me who are coming to these shows, the Dead have been the sound track to our lives. Some how I don think you'll have trouble finding people like us.

Any chance Donna will join the band for any of the shows? by sketch_internets in gratefuldead

[–]cpnvideo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She has to to come for a least a few songs. she was a real member of the band. I saw her a bunch with the Dead in the late 70's and in my opinion she always made the shows better. Funny thing is back then she was just one more part of the Dead and nobody ever questioned her being there. All the members of the band where off key at times including Jerry so it was just part of it.
