    is jam of the week discontinued? there is a post for this week, though it comes up as page not found just like last week...I will wait & see what happens. The mic on GDHour does not show when I try to share GDHour 760; & we all know the GDHour ONTHEAIR mic makes the post look great. The same problem has come up with taper's section quite often, maybe because multiple thumbs have been offered...I dunno'.

    Are there going to be any special events marking the 5th Anniversary of the new deadnet? I think there should be! I wonder if Marye can be persuaded to write a piece for us on her experiences as our heroic moderator over the years. I am sure there are many untold stories she can share with us (amended to protect the innocent and guilty of course). How about it Marye :-)

    you might be interested in purchasing, INSTEAD of a mini billboard of a 'related product' obscuring the view (picture) of what you might be wanting to buy. This is a bizarre way to try and sell stuff. To hide what you want the customer to see, behind a picture of group of 'related products'. Or the even more strange when you hide the product the customer wants to see behind a BLANK 'related product' cutain which obscures the product the customer was attempting to view. So the idea is that every purchase should a mystery (grab bag?) at the GD store? "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it's what you know for sure that ain't so." M. Twain.

    Is there a way I can hide the product threads? It's bothering me to have to wade through so many of them to find the threads I want to read. OR how about one catalog thread-showing all of the products in there. I guess they are what fund this site, but...to me it feels like the community feeling is tipping over into sales only.

I'd say contact customer service: Customerservice@dead.net with the details. But feel free to send me a PM with the same information (what address it's now going to, etc.) and I'll pass it along. Thanks.

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..
