    yes, for whatever reason
    the Fan Pix upload is quite temperamental and your problem may well have nothing to do with your image per se. That said, the Web can only display 72 dpi, so uploading hi-res is asking for trouble. I would recommend keeping the image no more than about 400 pixels wide at 72 dpi, just because bigger than that starts doing weird things to the page layouts. Jpg is the most reliable format to use, although in theory gif and bmp work also. Tif definitely does not. Also, all pix go into a moderation queue where I look at 'em and mostly turn 'em loose. About half the time the uploads contain no image so there's nothing for me to turn loose (see above). Still, this info should help you avoid some of the known trouble vectors. Thanks! (And yeah, one of the reasons the uploads go to moderation is that we occasionally get spammers or others uploading porn and the like and that is so not happening here.)

    Submitting a Fan Photo
    Last week I stumbled across technical info about uploading photos and now I can not find it. FAQ & HELP links at the bottom of the page are about the store. When I do a search I get many results but unfortunately clicking on a result that is in the forum goes to the first page of that topic instead of the post with the info returned in the search :( Since it seemed I came across the info fairly easy I thought I could find it again fairly easily so I did not note the info but no such luck. When one goes to submit content I would think info/restrictions would be listed there but I did not see anything. It could be somewhere obvious that I overlooked but right now I am out of time to search and this appears to be the place to ask. My questions are: 1. What is the max file size to upload a photo? 2. What is the max size in pixels? Thanks

    for the info. Yesterday I did some more tests on material from Livedownloads and it seems to be the 100% the real deal, no sign of MP3s in there.

    okay, some answers
    1. The full show downloads are in the process of being re-loaded and will be back shortly. 2. Per the engineer: "all of the FLAC files are sourced from .wav files of the original masters and are not converted mp3s"

Not sure where the comment about torrents/stealing came from. For the record, I own several thousand recordings and have paid for every one. :) Still wondering about the Road Trips Full Show downloads - were they removed on purpose, and might they be made available again?

    Oooofff! Sure hope that isn't you! I don't have direct experience but I'd start with a round-the-world cruise if I could. Maybe change towns if I couldn't. Change of everything (except for work perhaps) for a while. Try to open my mind to new thoughts, new sights, new friends and realize that my load was 1/2 lighter because I didn't have to carry around the emotional baggage of the ex.. Maybe somebody else with direct experience can help more...

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!

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..
