We have here the complete 3 night run from Cal Expo August 4th, 5th, and 6th, 1989.
Very nice shows. Opening night saw 21 songs performed and an 11-song 1st set- I haven't checked the statistics, but that's rare for 1989 !

6 discs in FLAC format.

All files have been Charlie Millerized, which means they are good. Thank you Charlie. I don't know you, but I am your brother.

Hey Oroboros

I can help you with FLAC. Several pages back on this vine I posted a few paragraphs on how to FLAC, and I'm PM'ing you my digits in case you need one-on-one help. This was the first vine I started, and at the time I just assumed that, as with downloading and bit torrenting, FLAC and SHN would be the universal language. I was really surprised to find out how many people are trading without them, because they make things soooo much easier ! For example, the April 1971 vine contains every single Grateful Dead concert from the entire month, and I had it back in the envelope and ready to forward less than a half hour after I opened it ! Also, CD's that have been burned on a computer are not permanent- they go bad after a few years, so having your master files on your computer (and backed up) makes good sense. FLAC and SHN files are full CD quality, along with text files for every show, in just over half the file size of CD audio, and giant hard drives are very cheap these days. For the techno-challenged, most of the external drives currently available are plug and play- just plug them in, let your computer automatically find and install it, and off you go ! Anyway, I will make sure anyone who needs help with this FLAC-only vine succeeds, just let me know. -Tommo

arkdeadhead you are awesome

thanks so much would love to talk to you i have some stuff i would love to give for all your help .. do you like ZERO ? have tons of sbd's from merl and zero in the early 1990 ? and would love to send you a couple of pic's will send mondaypeace steve

???

I just received the first 2 nights in CD format from Pappy. There are 3 problems: (1) I already have these shows (received the vine the FIRST time in Dec): (2) there are only 2 of 3 nights; and (3) there is no information as to why I received there in this forum page. Any help as to what is going on and what I should do would be appreciated

Here's my theory:

Somebody f*cked up. Are you sure it came from Pappy? Looks like the vine has been through several people since Pappy had it. Wolff had it last and should have sent it to gratefulmikes, but the postings aren't clear if it was ever mailed. Go figure. I think Pappy got backed up due to equipment problems recently, maybe he just got some discs mixed up and sent to the wrong people. It's happened to a couple of viners here lately. Cheers, MarkintheDark ********************************************* **************This space for rent***************** *********************************************

mark

It says it is from "Pappy" in PA and the postage stamp is from PA and dated 2 days ago.

update

Pappy responded to my PM. He said that he only received the first 2 shows then, just the other day, received the 3d show mixed in with another vine. People here need to figure out who is supposed to get these shows next. I'll have Pappy send me the 3d night then I will pass on the entire vine once someone lets me know who to send it to. It looks like either Wolf or gratefulmikes should be next, but who knows.

These might cause a flashback for me....

On the 6th I accidentally absorbed approx 110 hits worth of Owsley crystal (pre-liquid). CRAZY night, but I remember it. Even stopped by a cop for jaywalking! Thank god I was a veteran or who knows.... whew! Ahhh, the comfort of the Red Lion.... 23. Arkdeadhead (pwyatt30@yahoo.com) 24. Wolff 25. gratefulmikes 26. fluffhead420 27. dead man telling tales 26.

Hey dstache...

Send it to gratefulmikes, looks like arkdeadhead sent wolff copies of the CDs. Some of these posts make no sense, Dead Man Telling Tales has a post ("send them on, fluff") and he wasn't even on the list at that point. I think he posted in the wrong forum. Anyway it doesn't look like gratefulmikes ever got the vine so I'm guessing he's next. Besides, it's already so confusing it's like you said: who'll know?

originals 89 cal expo

hey gang i thought i asked for help on this arkdeadhead was kind enough to send me audio cds i SCREWED up so i got the audio cds and the flac so someone tell me where to send and i will so sorry thank you to all of ya steve walker

Wolf

I think they go to gratefulmikes next. You should PM him and confirm. It seems like there are a few copies of this vine going around.

Wolff has the original flac discs

I just got a PM repeating what he said in his post above. The signup list got screwed up a few pages back, changes being made without the list getting updated. Arkdeadhead made an audio set for wolff, somehow those got copied and entered into circulation w/out the originals? The original vine was flac only, hopefully the original discs will be the ones that circulate. I suspect some people aren't as organized as they could be. dstache, you're hang onto the set you have, reduce the confusion a little?

got it SAT...

It's still in FLAC format...if i can acquire a program i'll get it converted to audio CD's and mailed as soon as i get "dead man telling tales" address...I just sent him a PMpeace "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

need dead man telling tales address....

got it saturday...sent 'dead man telling tales' an address request....it's in FLAC...will convert if i can acquire a converter...will mail as soon as i have an address. "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

I have this and am just about finished converting

I ran into a problem with this file: gd89-08-06d3t01 (man smart...) My computer cannot handle it. It will not convert - it will not even copy onto my computer. I will send this off to OneGratefulDad as soon as I get his addy, but I would like to get the missing file somehow. If someone could send it to me, or post a place where I can download it that would be great. I can handle almost any file format except mp3. PM me if you need my email address. DMTT

All set here

I took the disc to a windows machine and was able to put the file on a flash drive. This vine is now on its way to Grateful Dad. Cheers all

I have this vine

Just got this today. Will post when they are ready. Have a grate weekend folks! "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"

To sweetthang. Whew! I had to drive through a blizzard to get to the post office... "When the smoke has cleared she said, that's what she said to me. You're gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy"
