    I seem to be one of the ones where my own recent posts do NOT show on my profile page. Would really like to have this feature accessable when the powers that be figure out how to do this. Thanks!

    photo upload still broken/topic starting still not allowed
    Unkljohn, the photo upload got broken on a server migration a week or so back and is on the short list to be fixed. It's not you, TMOT. Chubbycat, the short version is that on this site only mods (i.e. izzie and me) can start topics. As to other sites, DNC works the same way, the Ratdog site lets you start topics to your heart's content, etc. We don't think this is the One True Path, but for the moment it's what fits the software limitations and other issues here. If you want a topic on a particular subject, you're heartily encouraged to post in the What Else Should We Be Talking About topic, or send a PM to izzie or me. We're generally pretty responsive, at least I hope we are. Thanks!

    purple, back to you
    Okay, the first paragraph in the current Tapers Section that has a link is this: "Our first selection is from 7/3/69 in Colorado Springs, and features the best He Was A Friend of Mine (MP3 18.41MB) these ears have ever heard. Please note that is drawn from the cassette master, as this tour was recorded only to cassette and not to reels, so it does sound a little hissy, but this rendition is so darn good, it’s easy to overlook the minor sound issues." In the actual text, "He Was A Friend of Mine" is a link. Position your cursor strategically on said link, hold down the control key, and hold down the mouse button. A pop-up menu will offer you various options, including Play Song in iTunes and Download Linked File. Choose the option you prefer. Should you choose iTunes, it will probably think about it for a bit and then start playing the tune. Should you choose Download, your download window will open and you should be able to monitor the file's progress and then play in in the app of your choice. Including iTunes. Hope this helps. If it doesn't, speak up!

If you do not know where you downloaded your file (it's the default place where ALL your downloads go if you didn't specify @ dload time)....I don't know if you have a MAC or WINBLOWS but just do a search for this~~~~> newspeedwayboogie Copy and paste that into your search and you will find the file...make sure that the date you put the file in was yesterday.

CC: thanx, I have Windows. Did the search, "no file found." I have just downloaded today's Dark Star, and did it differently, I hit 'Save' the file, yesterday I did 'Open.' I must not have the newspeedwayboogie saved anywhere. Any chance I can get another chance to download newspeedwayboogie? Appreciate the help. :-)))

I can't get registered here ... about to give up. I tried to register as marshallstax but it keeps saying my email is already in use... it might be because due to getting replys in my spam folder I also registered as mstax. I WANT TO REGISTER AS MARSHALLSTAX NOT MSTAX!! Much more of your catch-22 games and I'll just give up... life's too short for the hassle just to get registered here!

Click the Grateful Dead bar at the top of the page to get back to the homepage. Click the 30 Days of Dead link to get to today's page. Scroll down the page to the track of the day. Click Listen to stream and click Download to download. It seems to be working fine now; it may have been acting up when you tried earlier, so please try it again. Thanks.

I don't know if this question is in the right place but would it be possible to have back covers with track listings available for downloads also a track list of the show when you click on it before deciding to purchase would be a great help.

Where are the links to downloads?Make it a sticky at the top of the page so others can find them too- Many are asking this same question.

how much stickier you can get than a big honking link smack dab in the middle of the homepage... Now it is possible that something may not be working properly, but it's not like the page is invisible. I've noticed some issues this morning myself, and reported them.

Hi folks--

We knew you were going to love 30 Days of Dead. We may have underestimated how much.

The original plan, as we said in the beginning, was that each day's stream and download would only be available for that day. Well, demand was so high that many folks had trouble connecting and downloading, so we've kept each day's files available short-term while we addressed the technical issues.

Once we've got those issues resolved and the downloads are going smoothly, we'll be removing the archive of previous days' files. We will give an advance warning before we do this. Meanwhile, here's a list of links to date  so you can download what you may have missed. Thanks!

since I just clicked the Chinacat link in the post above and it is downloading as we speak... It doesn't load a page, it just starts the download. Check your download folder; you may actually have the file already.

I had an uncle who was kind of a hippie, and he took me to a free concert in Piedmont Park in Atlanta GA in July of 1973, right before my 13th birthday. I never remembered the name of the band, but I was drawn to the Dead as a college kid and saw them 126 times before Jerry passed. Well, a couple months ago, one of the shows played on the xm radio noon concert was from 7-7-1973, Atl GA. This show is not listed on the website, but I could swear that this was the show my uncle took me to. The story the dj on xm said was that the free concert happened the day after a really hot Allman Bros show and had something to do with the promoter showing his appreciation to the city's music fans. Can someone out there verify that show happened, and if so, how can I get a copy? Nothin' left to do but smile, smile, smile!

I would try buying what you need else where.. If you order here you will probably only get a partial order and be waiting for a response from the $$$ hungry people here.. I am still waiting to hear back about the missing CD from my order of Jerry's new album releases.. Ordered the bundle and only get one CD.. Now thats how a company can make $$$ only ship half the order.. Good luck to those who order from this sight..

please send me a PM with the details and I'll try to get it straightened out. built, as I understand it it's no longer necessary to have a separate account for the Store, but let me verify that. It's a holiday weekend, so I may not hear back on this till Monday. Thanks.
