    Well, the short version is that at the moment you can't, because we turned off that function because it was creating some really bizarre side effects. I'd suggest doing what they do on Freecycle (and if you don't know about Freecycle, it's the best!), and just make a new post that the tapes are taken. I could go back and manually delete it if you're still getting deluged with hopeful emails, though. Just lemme know. This does point to an interesting problem; if I delete it it might throw off subsequent conversation, and if I don't delete it somebody comes along six months from now and in a wild burst of optimism thinks the tapes are still there... Hm.

    Hi, guess I'm pretty dumb, BUT, how do I delete a message I have posted? I posted a msg for free tapes, now, the tapes have found a new home, & we don't need to leave that msg posted any longer...Thanx, Timmy

    I'm using Firefox too, but on a Mac. I've had the occasional weirdness, but never black boxes... TigerLilly, next time this happens, can you do a screen shot and email it to us so we can pass it to the techs? The problem may not be on this end, but at least they can check it out.

    the black box
    I'm using Firefox - latest release - tigerlily, and have had the same thing a few times. I have no idea what's causing it, but it happens on other pages for me,too. Not as often as you're describing though.

    I am using Mozilla as a browser. Whole column under the cursive text "dead community" is just a black box. Can see no individual text in the box, other than the who's online text. Also cannot click on anything in this black field. Happens about 30% of the times that I log in. Also happens that if I log out, close Mozilla, and then log back in, all text and functions are back. Seems to be a temporary black hole or something-I have no clue what it could be. Was wondering if I were the only one with this, as I took my own advice and looked for someone else asking about this before I posted ;-)

    Sometimes when I log in, the whole section under "dead community" on the left is all black, and sometimes I can see "All recent posts, Member map, Members, Who's online" etc. Does anybody else have this phenomena? Does anybody know why it happens?

    Would probably help if people read through the posts in the sections about technical problems BEFORE they post new complaints. If problem has already been brought up, then would be kinder NOT to be repetitive and post, or if the person absolutely can't help themselves, then to say something very mild like: "XYZ problem, ditto" or "me too". izzie and Marye have said they will keep us informed on fixes and updates, and they WILL. They are doing a great job, with a monumental task, and no need to stress them with the s.o.s. over and over.

    Here's a question for members
    ...shall we go, you and I while we can... This place has been here for six weeks or so and I'm seeing the complaints outweighing the compliments about two to one . Izzie and Marye got tossed into a definite work in progress. They were honest about that from day one. Look, If the Grateful Dead experienced that much negativity at the beginning when things didn't work right, the music was sloppy, the venue sucked,, we wouldn't be hear today, 'cause the band would have called it quits. The initial scene thrived on what was going right and how to build on it.Let's try that here. See 'cause how many times do people need to hear that the store isn't fully connected with the site, that opening new topics isn't gonna happen in the forums,etc. There's a lot of arch tone and unnecessary sarcasm that's well, frankly juvenile. Wheather it was Watkins Glen Or the Berkely Community center, Woodstock or Anchorage, Alaska, I always saw the faithful in the audience adapt to the situation with the same smile, ,cause they knew something great was about to happen. The same thing can be true here. After all, what do we really want, lindley Meadows or Altamont??? Give it some thought,and sure if you got a gripe, you can always express it in a pleasent manner. Be sure to say something nice along the way as well, it will come back to you.

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.

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!

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..
