    let's just say we are aware of most of this, some of it's actually getting worked on, some of it is being taken under advisement, and some of it can't be fixed. The last-post thing is something I would call a matter of screaming urgency, especially in topics with hundreds of responses. It's a work in progress, for sure, so thanks for your comments.

    I know a lot of work went
    I know a lot of work went into this site, but it seems awkward. First, you can't click on the last post of a thread. YOu have to open the thread then go to the last page then scroll down. Also you don't need the first post on each page. It also seems to be lacking structure for the main menu. The introductions should be at the top, then right below it "All Arond this world" and have some discription for what the topic is. Then have a group of "Personal Dead Head" stuff for family and dogs and jobs, instead of having everything all mixed up at the top. Perhaps you should be able to see all the sub topics on one page, then show the last post to click on, like other forums? I'm sorry but this isn't very user friendly at all and I don't think it's going to get much use. I'm not going to click three times and scroll down to read the last post, or search a long cryptic list like this either. thanks anyhow!

    A brief note to Izzie
    Actually, I was expecting what I received. A pat note thanking me for my interest and support. It would have been nice, however, to have gotten a short response detailing the reason for the change at the site. Just a couple of sentences. That's all. Not too much to ask.

    sorry....
    this is pretty hard on me too, and if I seemed to snark off, I apologize. Being upset because you didn't get a Feedback response with any details, discussion of the change or other personalization seems a little fetched to me. My hunch (and that's all it is you know) is that the folks who'd be reading those Feedbacks this week are kinda swamped right now. I do think that using the Feedback button is the most direct way to get your point across. I will most likely continue to think that, and to encourage the use of the Feedback button. and I will continue, as a user of this site too, to wait for some word about what's going on. In the mean time, there is a bunch of new content that I'm trying to enjoy!

    I'm curious too
    izzie,I'm curious as to what you expected when you suggested we use the feedback button. Did you know then that there would be no response? Did you know then that there would be no perceptable effect at all? Did you believe then, and/or do you believe now, that our feedback will have any impact on decision making at Rhino? I know this may sound as if I'm being confrontational, but please believe that is not my intent. I'm just trying to understand. Perhaps I have unrealistic expectations. It wouldn't be the first time. Peace, Richard

    A brief note from Rhino
    So I wrote to Rhino: "To: Dr Rhino Subject: "new" grateful dead tapers section Hey, how about trucking on over to the Rhino operated Grateful Dead site and checking out all of the comments about the new tapers section policy - streaming only, no downloading. We fans are all pretty ticked off by what we see as a surprise (and senseless) move. Especially those of us who have paid wads of cash for all Grateful Dead product, even the pedestrian recent Vault 3 release. CD sales have drastically declined in past years, and this has given many of us the incentive to stop buying any and all Rhino product. (And I was just about to buy the new Doors remasters and highly anticipated any upcoming Cure deluxe editions. Oh yeah, and that fantastic Rhino Handmade Little Richard set - care to buy it back from me?) Call me a former Rhino fan, A. Black" And here's their reply: "Dear Friend, Thanks for your recent input regarding dead.net. We truly appreciate your ongoing interest and support. The Dead.net Team" Not exactly the response I expected. I think a monkey might have typed it.

Same here - a balmy 37 degrees last I checked. Better that than the cold, ice and snow we had the prior 10 days. Kind of a warm-up actually...we were having weather portentous of an early start to winter. The cold will be back though. More snow and I think I'll be strapping on the snow shoes.

and they sent my Dave's 23 to the wrong address. As soon as I got the shipment confirmation email, I called and emailed with my change of address and was assured over the phone that it would arrive at my new address. As it turns out, they shipped it to my old address and now I have to track it down somehow at my old apartment building. It was probably placed in my old mailbox which is likely now someone else's mailbox. I changed my address with the U.S. Post Office well over a month ago, but I guess when UPS delivers through the USPS (as indicated by the tracking history) they don't pick up your address change? I emailed customer service today again and they said basically, "Sorry, your shipment is too far along in the order process to change or add." Too far along in the order process? Really? Do you think so? Oh yeah, you've already shipped to the wrong address this last Friday after I informed you immediately of my address change. Customer service also stated that if the package is sent back to them, they'll then forward it to me. So now I have to depend on the kindness of strangers to get my numbered edition that has since sold out? Um, thanks. Remember when they would confirm your subscription address? Why did they stop doing that? I've bought so much stuff from this site over the years. I'm a totally Dead-icated fan. I think a little more care and respect is in order here. At least enough to get my subscription to the right address. Thanks for reading my rant. Peace.

That does seem to have gone out a bit overenthusiastically. All should be good if you're logged in and posting, but if I hear otherwise I'll post it.

Hey Now! Went to download today's Jam Of The Week and the tile is gone, did you remove this feature? If so can I put in a vote to bring it back? I have been collecting these since you started and don't want to stop now. Please reconsider as this is my favorite part of the site!

Shorter than a Government Shutdown I see that the Jam of the Week is back - I feel so much better now and wondered why I didn't be like Alfred E. Neumann and say What Me Worry? It's just that the tile was gone too! And back it is with over an hour of '73 Dead from the Kiel Auditorium. Thanks, love these jams and look forward to them every week.

Hello,

This might seem like an odd question, but have you ever reconsidered listing Allen Ginsberg's site in the Family Links section in light of his association with NAMBLA?

In case you don't know, NAMBLA is a pedophile advocacy organization that has spent decades trying to repeal the age of consent and enable its members to victimize children. I'm not smearing them; they identify themselves as pedophiles.

Ginsberg openly supported this group for years, claiming to do in defense of free speech. I'd like to think that nowadays, we can perceive how disingenuous that excuse is. There's nothing democratic, liberal, progressive or anti-authoritarian about the sexual abuse of the most vulnerable members of society. And while Ginsberg is gone now, NAMBLA is still around and still using Ginsberg's membership to legitimize their abusive agenda.

I realize that Ginsberg's art has been important to a lot of people, but does that mean we need to immortalize him in perpetuity? Many people close to me have been victimized by people like Ginsberg, and it saddens me to see him posthumously propped up by the Dead organization.

I've heard rumblings that the GD and Nike have come together to design a shoe. Will this shoe be available for purchase on the website?

Is there anyway to stream without signing up with Apple, Spotify, Amazon or Pandora?

I was wondering the same thing as I am not a member of any of those services. Maybe they could stream it or offer it on the site. Perhaps there's some $ getting in the way? That's my guess because it's usually what gets in the way.

Or what remnant of it remains, and I guess principle are what it's about for me marye. It's seeming more and more pathetic by the day though. Maybe I should just give in so I can get more focused ads. :-)

I guess the term free is just relative now. Or, it still is relative. Oh well, I guess I will just listen to the reports of how it sounds. Enjoy streaming public! It is cool that it exists and I am happy for those folks that are grooving to it! :-P

Are you going to make more of the Dave's Picks limited edition poster? I am disappointed that long-time annual subscribers weren't notified of this, I've bought every Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks since they started. I've had the annual subscription as long as they've been offered. Would love to get one and frame it for my listening room. Any chance of that happening? On the secondary market they're priced at ~$900. C'mon...

Want to know how to make your dead freak friend happy? Gift them a grateful dead mask with the Skull and Roses Bertha skeleton displayed prominently all over it. Or, just create one for yourself!

Have a Grateful Day and make yourself happy! Shout out to my friend Mike for the stylish face covering! :-)

P.S. Got all the boats! Proving once again, me no roboto.

Hi ! For the past few years I periodically fill out the " who are you where are you ...?" yet have never received a single email from this site . Ill assume it's not just me ? Is there a way to actually get email notifications ? Also I hope to see the Advent calendar again in 2021 :)

Check your spam/junk box for the emails.

When you buy something from this site check the box at the bottom of the form that you want to receive emails.

Many Thanks,

Highly disappointed NFA 2024
by Vibe315 on 8/14/24Sphere - Las Vegas
The dead changed my life. I’d like to start off there if it wasn’t for them I can’t say where I’d be today I grew up kicked out on the streets at 14 and at 15 I was brought to my first hometown festival. Interactions with people like Zach deputy and Ryan Montheblu, ( sorry if I butchered the last name) showed me there’s a different way one full of love and family and respect. So as the years have gone by I got to be blessed to see Bob Weir and Rat Dogg with the Almond Brothers and Phil Lesh and Friends, Further, Mickey Heart and the Heartbreakers and Even the Bill Kreitzmen trio. And etc…. They all taught me something new and I’ve loved em all. Last year I was blessed as one of the 1400 civilians to get tickets to the May 8th show at Cornell I thank you guys for changing my life in a positive way and I’m sad to see if this really is the end. I couldn’t make the two of the last three shows but I made that Last Saturday night and im looking foreward to what’s to come the music will never die. I will have to say I was dissapointed the way your staff treated me when I purchased the foil weekend poster two Ralph Steadman tees a neglagine bottle and the varsity jacket after the show. Your staff told us we were the last ones there and we need to leave the premises immediately there was no kindness from the people working the booths and your security was extremely rude. I’ll miss you guys but your letting ignorant people ruin everything you build I worked hard to earn the money I spent at your merch table and I wish I could of returned it. NFA 2024 Family for Life
