DeadBase Needs Your Help!
Posted: February 8, 2010 - 5:59pm
Just got this from Stu Nixon, who asks me to pass it on to the Dead.net community:
DeadBase Returns! And we’re looking for a little help from our friends…
We're back! Or at least we're thinking about it... By popular demand we are in the process of determining the feasibility of publishing a new edition of DeadBase and are looking for some help. While a totally revised DBXII is still a possibility for the future, right now we are considering putting out a reprint of DBXI with an appendix of corrections and additions to the setlists. While we are looking into the logistics of printing and distribution (can you say Amazon?) we are putting the word out to gather missing data.
That’s where you come in. We know that folks have found errors in the setlists since the last version of DeadBase came out in 1999, and we want to include a list of corrections in the new book. All proposed changes will be reviewed and evaluated, and contributors will be acknowledged in the new edition.
Please send corrections along with rationale / justification to:
deadbasecorrections@comcast.net
Thank you!

I'd love to see a new edition! Would it include more recent bands like Furthur and The Dead? and Garciabase!? Anyway, I'd buy sevral copies for friends who missed the boat when it was being published before.
its all about the music this band was all about originality liberalism as its finest most bands would of went about the gran this band wouldn't do it keep it real people screw it up sometimes keep it real..

Hey there,
Saw a post in the Dead.net forum about a possible DeadBase revival. I have never owned a copy, but I would certainly love to see it revived again. How's the plan been working out?
Anything I can do to help!

Hello Nathan,
It's a long, slow process but we're moving forward on the new book step by step.
Stay tuned, and thanks for your interest.

Great to see that the plan is slowly coming together!
My tattered DeadBase VI is long overdo a replacement. A nice.new, updated hard copy would be sweeeet. I will spread the word and help in any way possible. - Boog
My copy of DEADBASE VI is pretty rough with a cracked spine and all pencil marked up with my notes. A new edition is in order. My favorite section apart from the set lists themselves is the review section near the back of the book. John, Stu, Mike and others give a fly on the wall view of many classic and obscure shows. I spent many hours pouring over this book, often while recording shows off the radio (manly WNEW and WBAI both in NYC)-you can identify just about any Dead show as long as you have a few songs in a row with this book. An amazing resource! Thanks guys.

I had my DB XI stolen(I'd also owned X) and when I attempted to replace it the only ones I could find were upwards of $300-$500!!!
Please make an updated Edition
Thank You,
