    Found a cool link...
    Here's a link to a site where there are many shows posted for free download. Sound quality is pretty awesome and he adds stuff all the time. His list includes most of the 'Hunter's Trix' series of matrix shows currently making the rounds via bit torrent at etree. It would be a good place to check out if you are starting a collection, or even enhancing one. http://rapid.org/board/showthread.php?t=266944 Cheers... His job is to shed light, not to master...

    Hey, all. I don't have tapes to trade... but there is a show I would love to see one more time in this life and it is the 3rd show at Alpine Valley, July, 1989. Best concert I ever saw and my first Dead Show. I have the recording but to actually see it again.... how could I explain? I was 19. I know there is a full vid of this show in existence. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Y ~ C*

    Great advice...
    Like IRSampson, I also had a couple hundred Maxell and TDK gems in my collection. I went digital a couple years ago and would put any of the digital stuff I have against any of my old tapes quality-wise. There is not one drawback that I can think of, it's just that first step that is the hardest. Storage is a GREAT benefit. 1 hard drive can store an entire collection, while you can rotate stuff on your iPod. Luckily, there are folks on these boards and others who are happy to guide you through the process. The vines here helped point me in the right direction. I finally completed my leap into the digital age by dragging my cassette collection to the Chicago stop on the band's '09 Spring Tour and just handed them out. I've recently been posting shows here that I have uploaded to Rapidshare. These are clean downloads, free to those who wish them. Just copy the link to your browser, and your in business. I'm also willing to share my list with anyone who's looking - just PM me.

    a word of encouragement in transitioning from your tapes...
    I too am one of the Old School heads who was reluctant to move into the digital realm. And I'm a techie! What forced the issue was that I also found fewer people interested in trading tapes. So I did the homework and got advice from others and haven't look back since. I still have about 200 of the 850 or so tapes I had, giving the others away to those in need. But you don't need to convert what you have. Most of it is available out there and will sound better. The easiest way to download is using a torrent app like UTorrent or others, where you add a download by clicking on the torrent link. The bt.etree.org site has tons of great quality shows and enough seeds to allow for reasonably fast downloads. Get the free application "Traders Little Helper", which will easily convert the various compressed file formats (shn, flac, etc.) to WAV (where you can burn to CD if your burner software can't decode the compressed formats), or there are plenty of others that will get you to MP3Pro or similar formats suitable for your iPod. The archive.org site primarily offers audience recordings available for download, but you can also stream the soundboard stuff and capture it with an audio program like CoolEdit Pro, etc. The learning curve isn't bad and once you do, you'll discover the bliss you found when first collecting those crispy XLII-S copies. And nearly everything can be done for free, except maybe the cost of the CD's - which are a hell of a lot cheaper than tapes :) I know have replaced most of all my favorite shows and have added tons more. My 80 GB iPod is stuffed with a couple hundred shows as well. Technology is our friend, just as it was the band's! Enjoy your eargasms!!

    I am almost POSITIVE the Dead played a second encore after Casey Jones on 10/28/77. It was my first Casey, AMAZING, and I recall the Dead left the stage, the roadies started breaking it down, but the fans were going wild! We would not leave. The Dead finally came back out and played another. That is how I remember it to this day. But I can't find any evidence to back it up, as all tapes/recordings from that show say Casey was only encore. Anyone share my memory??? Was it a dream, or another show, or ??? Anyone with a tape to back me up?Thanks.

    I heard this show the othere day on XM and Archive only has an audience of it....The show was one of the last recorded on reel to reel, as this practic ended in 1981 in favor of cassette masters....my question is does anyone have a low gen SDBD of this show I could burn? It is such a crisp sounding show, but (no offense to any tapers) the Aud tapes don't do it justice in my humble opinion. thanks! My email is afidelman@gmail.com

Hi there, I don't know if this is the right place for this question but figured someone here would know the answer... I am wondering what the best source for complete Grateful Dead set lists is? A friend used to have the entire Deadbase memorized. It was amazing, you could test him!! I see there is Taper's Compendium as well (volumes 1-3???), and my friend said this is more complete? What say youz? Thanks guys!

Try the Shows & Lyrics section on this page (Look Up). Float your cursor over it, then go to 'Shows by Year', pick a year, then a show. The set list is usually integrated into that show page, or someone has kindly placed it in the comments (thanks hockey_john).

The Deadlist project is also a great resource - posters, handbills and tickets for almost every show as well as setlists...they are amazing there.

As much as the digital age has allowed the old tapes to be cleaned up and made to sound better on cd or through a computer, it does not sound right until it is put onto tape and played through a vintage system with old cabinet speakers. At least that is my preference. That said, I resurrected my tape collection and have been able to acquire a ton of killer tapes. I am looking for blank/templets for j-card inserts. I have hundreds of tapes that need them so I am open to any designs or leads. Thank you, Steve

I also am looking to aquired Jcards so that I can clean up my collection of GD tapes. Does anybody have any info on the JCards that seemed to be mass produced specifically for Dead tapes? They often had "Live Dead" or some variation of that, printed on the spine and a stock photo of either Jerry, Bobby, or Phil on the front. Any info on these types of Jcards, or any other mass produced GD J cards would be very much appreciated.

I would spin them, but the tapes seem to have been lost to the ether! I just checked and I don't have them anymore :-( I have a bunch of other 1993 shows, but that one is missing!

My husband told me to check out a user named brianhahne in order to find old releases at decent prices. There are a couple of Dick's Picks I still need to find (3, 4, 24, 28), as well as the Bay Area Pure Jerry - but not if it costs $300+. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looking for a resource for trading CD-R. Have done the Vines but I remember a vibrant tape trading network back in the day and want to rebuild my collection. Enjoying 6-20-74 on archive.org right now but the streaming doesn't help in my car or out by the pool. Any help much appreciated. Will trade what I have as well as postage, blanks, etc.

I am desperately trying to get a hold of some dead tapes someone else has made. I know I could go on archive.org and make my own but I really am looking for someone to guide me by sending me tapes of their favorite shows. I'm willing to send blanks and pay postage. I have tremendous respect for the tapers who was there and am asking if anyone would be open to sending me some tapes. It would mean the world to me. Thanks in advance for reading this and considering it. Please PM me if this is something you would be open to.

I am seeking a good quality recording of the 11/30/79 show, Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh. It was a first date with a life partner and would like to make a Christmas present of it. Archive.org has several SBDs and an great sounding Matrix - for streaming only, of course. I'd like to have a CD copy to give as a gift. Lots to trade if that needs to be part of the deal. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,My close friend, my girlfriend, and I have all become deadheads within the past year. We continue to go deeper and deeper each passing month. I have gotten to point where I am hoping to get some tapes to listen to. If anyone has extra tapes they would like to pass on to a new deadhead to experience please message me. For faster/more convenient response email me at gulatherogress@gmail.com We can work out the arrangements. Thank you very much for your time.

My young daughter has followed her parents’ footsteps and become very into the Dead. She doesn’t have her own computer to throw on shows so tapes would be great for her - I passed on my collection of 400 before she was born. We’d especially love anything with fun fan art / crazy cases / etc. All eras more than welcome! Thanks.

I have at least 400 cassette tapes in my storage unit that I would like to give away for free. They are a combination of soundboards and audience recordings. All periods but heaviest concentration is from the 80's. They are in a state of utter chaos, in a very large and quite heavy plastic storage container. This is way too heavy to ship, so must pickup in person. I live in Big Sur, CA and the storage unit is next to the Monterey Airport. There are certainly a number of excellent audience recordings made by a friend and those are not in circulation. The tapes cases are fun, many decorated, harking back to that time when I was young in the 80's and had loads of time on my hands. PM me if you are interested.
