Kevin:
Did he give you any idea how soon the exhibit will open?

Since the site is a living document, it can't be 100% all the time - there
will always be one more correction to make. That said, you can provide me
with set list updates directly - we're not dealing with song timings,
non-commercial recordings on archive.org or commentary (necessarily), so
keep that in mind.
Just started discussing the project with Howard today - will post to the
list what DeadList's contribution is once finalized.
Thanks
Kevin

Kevin,
Please keep us caretakers informed. I have a ton of corrections to make for
the years I'm caretaker for (pre-dead, 1965-1967), that I'd like to get just
right before Howard adds DeadList's to his "exhibition". Also, it would be
nice to have DeadList's contributors mentioned within this new "exhibition"
as we are devoted fans that volunteered communally over the years to get
DeadList's where it is today!
Regards,
Teddy Selby (aka GoodBear)

Happy to provide what you need. I use a script provided by archive.org to
update the links from DeadLists to the recordings on that site. It doesn't
get to song level, but does provide links to the different sources where
multiples exist.
Let's discuss further technical details privately.
Thanks
Kevin

Thanks for getting back to me. I am curating and developing a major
exhibition on the Grateful Dead that will open here in Cleveland next
April.
This project is being done will the full blessing of the band. One of the
elements that we'd like to develop is an interactive kiosk that surveys the
Grateful Dead as a live act. As I envision it, the kiosk will be have an
interactive touch screen where the visitor can search for any Grateful Dead
concert between 1965 and 1995 by date or location. Once they find a
particular date, the set list would show. Some of the shows will have a
single song from that specific show that they can listen to. The reason
I've
reached out to you is that I was hoping that you would be kind enough to
share your database with us. This is a very ambitious project and the task
of creating a kiosk like this from scratch would be nearly impossible.
The premise behind this exhibit is that Grateful Dead is as much a
community
as it is a band. I am relying on the community to contribute to this effort
and help create a great exhibit. Please let me know if you have any
questions. Please note that this exhibit is not public knowledge and I
greatly appreciate if you could keep this matter confidential. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Howard Kramer
