Grateful Dead

....trade? Every concert is collectible to me. We agree to disagree. On the other foot, yes, I would most likely be more perturbed if every other release was shit. Just lucky I guess. Ever talk about the songs that don't skip though? (edit. I tried to make this post as least offensive as I could. Don't throw stuff at me.) That's sarcasm btw. Dirty word these days. Haha.

You are talking about a hypothetical Live concert and a PA system. That's not a Limited (numbered) Edition Collectable. And trust me, if the shoe were on your foot, you would be perturbed too.

....you forgot the third group. The group that is thankful that these releases are even coming out to begin with. If you're at a live concert, and the PA system drops during a song for, let's say, thirty seconds, do you storm out demanding a refund or wanting to speak to the soundboard director? Of course you don't. And if you do, well, try to remember to keep that glass half full.

I am very supportive of those that have discs that don't play so good. It's an injustice and until Rhino makes good, they have every right to speak out.

I get it..

Until they make things right, comments will rumble over to these threads. I am completely supportive and I hope everyone is made whole.

Fix the problems and the rumbling will go away. I'd rather pay an extra couple bucks to have the highest quality CDs than have to endure this every few months, but then again.. I bet the cost of creating a product with defects outweighs the cost of doing it right in the first place.

One other point, several of the folks trying to better understand the need to complain have had bad discs/box cutter issues in the past. I don't think trading discs would help, that's an oversimplification. Both sides have valid points. I would rather talk about the mind bending properties of GD music instead of product defects though.. as soon as I get my corrected disc 3 I intend to do just that.

One group says they want no more skipping CDs, so they are making their voices loud and raw to rock the boat.
One group says they want no more loud, angry voices rocking the boat.
Many of the latter group note that THEIR CDs don't skip.
How about this?:
Members of the second group trade CDs with members of the first group.
Each release, this process can be repeated as needed.
Keeps the various parties satisfied without bothering our corporate benefactors, right ;)?

....misinterpretion of ones wording in this day and age is a common issue. The internet has changed society immensely. For good and ill....just try and stay positive. #1 Life Tip I can give you at this time. The Grateful Dead help me with that....unless there's a skip, then all bets are off. 😶

I mostly read these threads because:
a) I learn something
b) It cracks me up
c) I'm stoned and bored
d) I'm just a Russian Bot trying to learn English

Today the answer is (b) , It cracks me up. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, I heard from a reliable source Bolo is part of the latest caravan heading through Mexico towards the border, somewhat scarcely clad . Apparently he narrowly escaped the Saudi Embassy in Turkey only to fall into the hands of a long-lost, politically estranged Saudi Shaman. He was left naked, strung out on Ayahuasca, superglued 100 feet in the air to palm tree nuts in the most hostile part of Nicaragua, sans passports.

I am confident he will return one day, hopefully regaining most of his faculties..

....jrf68 got his volume 28 over a month later than 97.2% of the rest of us but never bitched about it! He even said thank you. But does Let It Grow skip? Was his made in Mexico? Those are hot topics to some, Apparently 😉

Whew. Received 28 yesterday. Thank you.
:O)

....the only complaint I have about Dave's Picks is that they should be released monthly, not quarterly. Then again, I have had only one issue with a Dave's, and that was the Row Jimmy on the Fresno pick. And I didn't follow up with a replacement, because
a) I was lazy
b) I have a lot of awesome Row Jimmy's
c) My glass is half full
d) I was lazy
.....hint. There is no wrong answer. One wrong answer, imo, is grabbing up the pitchforks and torches and forming some sort of online mob. Leave that to the '95 Deer Creek gatecrashers. The darkness has got to give.
....and for one to say they go all caps is because a some of the heads here are 70 and can't see shit is bullshit. Funny, yet bullshit all the same. There's a thing called enlarging the font that trumps that theory. I've had to make mine bigger, and I'm only 50. Old man take a look at you now, you're a lot like me.
