bachsteady Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 For anyone interested, I found it interesting looking at some of the keyboards for sale that were associated with Jerry Garcia and the dead. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/from-the-vault-property-from-the-grateful-dead-and-friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane hugo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 [font:Verdana]random musings as I peruse the inventory... Cheapest price for a Prophet-10 I've seen in a while. Still, considering that the auction's still 4 days away, it's gonna get crazy. bidding's already up to $8,500 for Jerry's Mu-Tron BiPhase. $8,500... ð² Wouldn't mind having that GS-1, tho $6,500 for Dylan's harmonica and holder that he used on that '80s tour with the Dead Crazy seeing what those guitar amps are going for. I thought the harmonica price was out of hand... Weir's rosewood Tele - that current high bid's a bit low. Rather have that '98 Modulus, tho I'm in love with that 2005 Ibanez. ðððð [/font] Quote http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0Ampy0o Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 All those boxes and cabinets and cases. Reminds me of the SNL bit, "and it's a good place to hide your weed" Just buy the cheapest thing "Used on stage with the Dead" as it is eternally infused with pot smoke and you need only be in the same room with it to get high.

cphollis Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Actually, the posters did it for me. They looked great to my eyes -- love the style -- but $5k for a nice, printed piece of paper? Nahhhh .... signed artwork maybe. I grew up in the SF bay area, and went to all sorts of Dead shows when younger, did lots of NYE shows, even followed the band around for a while as there was this girl. My university time was set to a soundtrack, and it was the Dead playing. Not to mention the Dead cover bands I played in, since it was UC Santa Cruz. To be fair, there was this other cool punkish band we tried to see often, Green Day. The other band we'd always go make an effort to see was Dixie Dregs. Later on, I was in a band and we opened for an unknown act with the craziest name: Red Hot Chili Peppers. I mean, really? I play the music now, and it does almost nothing for me. Looking through the auction inventory, I felt almost zero nostalgia. It was certainly a time and place, since moved on. But if you've gotta have that ratty looking speaker cab, have at it!

KuruPrionz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I wonder where all the Alembic guitars and basses got to? I saw the Dead back when Pigpen was in the band. That's just about all I remember about the show. Aum opened for them, I thought they were pretty good. Listened to Workingman's Dead and America Beauty a fair bit. That was it for me, no more Dead. The start price on the Hofner Verythin guitar Bob Weir owned seems somewhat reasonable... Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.

Marzzz Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I am not a fan of the Dead (hoo-boy, but my brother is!) but I am pretty impressed with how well their auction seems to be going. I guess Deadheads don't mind parting with thousands of dollars? In comparison, the Zappa estate did an auction some years back, and I don't remember many items even getting bids.

Item #28 is a leslie pre-amp. They were looking for $300-500. The current bid is $1100. WTF? There is the same model on Reverb for $199. Why would I pay an additional $900, so I could say "it belonged to someone in the Dead"?

HammondDave Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I could care less about the music stuff... how about some leftovers from the after-parties? Maybe a few elderly groupies? I heard that the Mudfish from the Zappa auction went for $10,000...

That may not be worth $900 to you, but, like, have you MET Grateful Dead fans? Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.

Morrissey Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The CP70 caught my eye. The auction price is much more reasonable than some other items. Then I realized why. It is just HALF of the CP70 (no harp!). https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2021/from-the-vault-property-from-the-grateful-dead-and-friends/keith-godchaux-cp70b-used-on-tour-with-the-dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I wonder where all the Alembic guitars and basses got to? This auction has a lot of fun Dead memorabilia but it is not the "creme de la creme" of Dead gear. E.g., Jerry's most famous guitars were auctioned off about 20 years ago: https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Garcia-s-guitars-fetch-record-Wolf-Tiger-2839686.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outkaster Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I don't I see that stuff on Facebook. I don't think it would be a big deal unless the instrument is rare.
