The Dead played Black-Throated Wind frequently 1972-1974 before dropping it for for 16 years, when it returned in March 1990 and would stick around until 1995.

    Me Three

    Definitely not complaining about free music! I believe I got this too, but the online and download lengths aren't jiving. And as Poneill378 said, it doesn't quite match with the Archive version I guessed. It's almost like one of the versions has been "speed corrected." I'm not that much of an audiophile, but maybe one of the experts here can weigh in.
    Or, never trust a Prankster...

    Strange bit-rate and properties

    Something really odd about these mp3 files, apart from not being 320kbps. Once downloaded the properties come up as 124kbps which is completely non-standard - mp3 files are normally a multiple of 32kbps - and the track lengths don't agree - BTW shows up as 7.07 on-line but 7.19 once downloaded. Days 1 and 2 show the same variation, about 3percent longer (or could this be 4/128 longer). Someone who's into pitch correction might be able to compare the online playback with the download playback.

    Weird files

    Agree with the comments about the files being weird. 99.9% sure I got this Black Throated Wind correct, but the speed is off from the Archive version by just the tiniest bit. Every time I had them synched up, one would start to fall behind the other. Maybe I’m just wrong lol

I received an e-mail from Rhino on 12/4 last year indicating I was the "grand prize" winner (and asking for my address "so we can ship out your copy of HERE COMES SUNSHINE"). Address sent, but nothing ever received. No biggie as I'm really here for the challenge and enjoyment. C’est la vie. Cheers and best of luck to all.

Yowza! I’m mostly chill/easygoing but I’d be one squeaky wheel if that happened to me. Especially last year when I waited too long and couldn’t get the HCS box before it sold out.

Not one of my favorite songs, but I really like this version--and Phil sounds great on it, RIP.
I admit I was off substantially at first but once I got there it synched up nicely and sounded great. Good fun search and I discovered a couple new shows I need to check out more thoroughly. Love November!!

Yeah, I'd noticed it as a repeat from 2016 and 2021. But usually no one would reveal it because it would give it away, or give too much of a hint.

First, a monster Dark Star, and then they updated the previous files to .wav. I don't recall ever getting .wav files since this started in 2010. Happy Monday!

Why isn't the start page working properly. How hard can it be to link this page to the one on the start page?
