    for the FLACless
    I was thinking that it would be easier and cheaper if, instead of the seeder burning WAV CD's for each show, that he/she (hey, Rider might seed something!) include the WAV files on the DVD. A show in both FLAC/SHN and WAV fits on a single DVD. I usually get 50 CD's for about $9 and 50 DVD's for $13, maybe a little cheaper, so it is actually cheaper to put the WAV files on 1 DVD rather than 3 CD's. This way, the FLACless can enjoy the vine too, and we don't have to pay the postage for a heavier package. Of course, the FLACless must have a DVD player so they can at least read the files. Any thoughts from the FLACless?

    Hampton Shows
    Received from Raymond--you are truly a kind Head-- and gave them a listen. They are both fine shows. I can definitely understand why a lot of people think very highly of these two nights, especially with the boys breaking out a lot of special material. I will listen to them again in the future. However, for my tastes I still prefer to listen to earlier eras. In my subjective view, the band --especially Jerry-- was tighter, more imaginative and energetic even in a mediocre show from 1977 or 1972 or 1968 or 73, etc. Well, you get the picture. That is even without considering the condition of Jerry's voice. Again, it is all a matter of taste and I think it is wonderful that many Heads love the later stuff.

    ...but I figured I'd ask my fellow viners and traders to let me know if you have an extra ticket for EITHER night of the Radio City shows. Why would you do this? You'll get face value, a good beer on me, AND you get to meet me in person! PM me if you have one. Thanks!

    89 cont
    Ok, I will post the 9/29, 9/30 and 10/1/89 shows next week (plus a bonus of 7/4). I think Marye needs a little break as she has posted a bunch of vines the last 2 days. We'll do this one in both SHN/FLAC and WAV, with me converting and burning to WAV 1 show, and each of the first 3 to sign up 1 as well. I am only missing 8 shows from summer/fall '89: 7/7, 7/9, 7/10, 7/12, 7/13, 7/15, 10/11 & 10/18. If anyone has SHN/FLAC versions and wants to start a vine, or trade, hey, let's do it!

    You know what, forget about that last post. Anyone think we need more 89 vined? I have June Shoreline, July Alpine Valley, August Berkeley and September Shoreline shows. One of the Alpine Valley shows has been vined, as have the 3 August Cal Expo shows. If anyone has the early July shows please let me know.

    later eras
    I think it helps when listening to shows from the later years if you take things with a grain of salt, recognize that Jerry is NOT the guitarist he once was, and compare shows in that era to one another, rather than to shows from other eras. As to denigrating, I was reading recently on Archive about some '85 show, and the reviewer said how he much preferred the exciting, fast-playing Jerry of '85 to the boring, slow-playing Jerry of '77. I said to myself, "That is the last review of yours I ever need to read as I clearly cannot rely on you for any information." And one more. I won't say the name of the reviewer; I'll let someone else guess who I am talking about. He reviewed shows in the Taping Compendium (not an editor). In one of his reviews of a spring '90 show, he says that that tour was perhaps the best tour since 1974. That is a lot of music to skip over. If he said it was the best tour since Fall 77 I might have said, ok, a little controversial, but reasonable. But to skip over ALL of 1977 and say spring 90 is better than 77, are you nuts?!?!?!? The guy drives me nuts for other reasons (he is so critical of every show, I wonder whether he even likes the band, and he's just pretentious). Anyone know, without looking at the Compendium, the reviewer to whom I am referring?

    Thanks Raymond
    I will listen to those shows with an open mind. Its not that I never listen to the later stuff, its just that I seem to enjoy the earlier Dead more. Also, I think the fact that I stopped attending shows after 1984 also affects my tastes. I would never think to denigrate anybody for loving the later stuff, as it is all a matter of taste. Besides, even the worst of the Dead is a hell of a lot better than most of the stuff I come across. I will let you guys know what I think of the Hampton shows. "That path is for, your steps alone."

Hey t140v77, Man if you want to make an additional copy that would go over seas that would be the best option in my opinion. I think we have done it both ways but a separate copy would cut the chances of it getting lost coming back over the pond greatly! Just my opinion.

I will post it this weekend. It will include 6 shows from 1990 (10/27, 10/30, 10/31, 12/3, 12/4 and 1 other) plus 2 from '95 (that were on my list of Compendium picks posted here a while back) to fill up the second disc. I'm listening to a hot Help > Slip > Franklin's to open 10/31 as I type this. I'll start working on reseeding the 77 Part 4 vine once I am done with this. On an unrelated note, if anyone here subscribes to Hotfile and has some time to download a couple of shows (Rush and Rolling stones '81) let me know. I've gotten monthly passes in the past for both Hotfile and Rapidshare but lately I've both been too busy and haven't found much on the blogs I go to to find shows from other artists. Thanks!

All, Just in case you are interested, the GD is e-mailing people that have a reservation for the "music only" Euro 72 package. The e-mail has a code to be used to upgrade to a "Big Box". Apparently some orders are being cancelled. It looks like alot of people (including myself) booked multiple orders because of the problems early in the ordering process. Best Wishes-Jimmy

Vine loving freaks (and I mean that in a good way), Following dstache's 'Compendium Picks' for the 1990's, I will be starting what looks to be 2 vines for 1992, about 5 DVD's total. Some notes: 1)From the Compendium 1992 list, regretfully, I only have a couple of the March shows and I don't have 12/5 which really bums me out because those Tempe shows were always quite good, and that show in particular brings back a lot of crazy memories for me =) 2)The 5/21 show is included in Cal Expo '92 Vine which is still alive so I won't include it here 3)The 6/25 show is included on New 1990's Part 6 Vine but that one may be in trouble so we'll wait and see on that one 4)Other than that, I have everything else from the list including the amazing Las Vegas May run.

Hey there,I have a few (4?) vines that I may have been holding on longer than I should.... I don't like to keep them more than a few days. I filled up my little hard drive with the few vines that I had already copied. I tried to delete out the junk I don't need but it didn't really help much. I just got back from my local Fry's and shoved a 1TB drive in the desktop....that should let me copy a couple more vines. I will be stopping by the post office tomorrow and will be updating the appropriate vines. I really don't know how you serious and long time viners store all the great music out there...thank goodness that storage is getting cheaper. Mike

Will hold a lot of vines my friend. Yeah I use ext HDs. I can get a 500GB Toshiba for about $50 at the local Sam's Club. I think that is a very reasonable price to pay to store 500-some shows, assuming 1 show is about 1GB in flac/shn format. "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Just an FYI, I saw that Target was running 1-TB and 2-TB external HD's for $85 each. Probably USB 2. Not bad for a 2-TB. This week only (February 20 thru 26) While supplies last! Best Wishes-Jimmy

I am back with it and want to send out the vines I have held up. pmail me please, I want to get things moving that were stuck with me. Thanks for your patience. I lost everyone's address in a computer crash so send them on to me. I am gone till Sunday but at that time will be putting a massive effort into mailing out vines.

Nice to see you, hope all is well with you and your family. Many of the vines vines may have been re-seeded, there has been a pretty large effort for that over the last few months. So we'll probably just play it by ear. Take care man! "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

This show (Fort Worth, TX) was vined with the Mixed Bag I think. Now I think I have listened to as many shows as the average viner here. Now let me tell you something. I have heard quite a few "other ones," but this "one" is totally and completely addictive. The mix is great. But there is something about the heavy sounding drums & bass and guitar. I have been listening to this (Set 2) non-stop for several weeks since I got it. I just can't put it down. The 'Me and My Uncle" fits perfectly in between. On a scale, this is the #1 "truckin'/other one" combo so far that I have heard. It's rare for me to react to a show like this. Crazy man! Set 2 truckin->drums->other one->me and my uncle->other one->wharf rat

that I am really excited how well the vineyard is doing. I haven't seen it like this in some time. So I just wanna say thanks to all the old timers for reseeding a lot of this music and all the new guys for keeping it moving. There is quite a lot of vines here so I wanna say thanks to cosmicbadger for the vindex to keep track of all of this. It definitely makes it easier.

Thanks Jake. ....listening to 11/14/71 Set 2 again today. I think I have it figured out. The Other One here conveys a "sense of urgency" not found in other versions I have heard. I find myself batting my head with Phil's bass line as if I am on some one-way mission to save the world. The sense of urgency here is overwhelming and a hair stand up on your back kinda thing....

earlier todayhe seems to be doing pretty good staying away from the computer for the most part, at least limiting how long he is in front of it... I assured him we're more concern about him than any vines but none the less will do his best to move them along real soon. so, hang in there Dave!
