Grateful Dead

Hey all.... Dstache.... you are amazing.... thanks. Just sent out many vines over the last several days.... some rather large.... and the nice woman at the post office told me about MEDIA MAIL.... which I knew nothing about. Books, CD's... DVD's.... all can go at a cheaper rate.... slower than first class too unfortuately... but a significant savings! Just need to designate on the package and request at the counter.... This was news to me.... Thanks. Raymond

Add the rest of 1973 to the list of things I am working on, as I should soon be getting everything from 9/24 on. I got the 1968 shows in and am working on them. CB volunteered to send me some "newer" sources and I should be getting them in a week or so. I will get the 2d part of the 1970 vine posted by this weekend.

I have nastalgia for more stuff from 1994 and 1995. I have the April Fools show (4/1/94--Atlanta, GA (Omni); digital soundboard; 3 CDs) that I can offer up if there is interest. But I was wondering if anyone had maybe a few more 94 & 95 to offer up, and I'll throw in the 4/1/94 show with it. These are the 94 & 95 shows that are already vined here (below). 3/21/94 Richfield, OH (Richfield Coliseum); soundboard; 3 CDs 3/30/94 Atlanta, GA (Omni); digital soundboard; 3 CDs 10/1/94 Boston, MA (Boston Garden); soundboard; 3 CDs 10/10//94 Landover, MD (USAir Arena); soundboard; 3 CDs 10/13/94 New York (Madison SQ Garden); soundboard; 3 CDs 10/14/94 New York (Madison SQ Garden); soundboard; 3 CDs 6/21/95 Albany, NY (Knickerbocker Arena); FOB audience recording; 3 CDs 6/25/95 Washington, DC (Robert F. Kennedy Stadium); digital soundboard; 2 CDs 7/9/95 Chicago, IL (Soldier Field); THE LAST SHOW; soundboard; 2 CDs

Does anybody have their performance from Rothbury July 5th?? I'd love to add it to my vine... "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

Thanks guys.... I do appreciate your feedback.... and all of those posts I made earlier are already back to page two!! Oh well... will keep trying.... and keep burning some great f#@%ing music!! Raymond

Anything from 69-79 flies off the shelf.....I had some 66' shows for 2 months before anyone signed up! "And I love the life I live And I'm gonna live the life I love"

It looks as if most of the vines you are holding are for post-'77 Dead and non-Dead shows (undead??). In my admittedly short time in the Vineyard those seem to be less popular than the vines with '67 to '77 Dead. Just an observation; ymmv. ~~~~~~~ "Goin' home, goin' home, by the waterside I will rest my bones; listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul" "I will walk alone by the black muddy river and sing me a song of my own"

Don't sweat it. It happens. I have been in the same situation. What I would do is once a week repost on the vine thread asking if anyone wants to partake. This helps because it moves the vine to front page and it is way more visible then if it's "buried" on page 6. People will eventually partake. Geoff "Say you'll come back when you can Whenever your airplane happens to land Maybe I'll be back here too It all depends on what's with you."

Two PMs to him in connection with the October 72 vine and no response; anybody know if he's still around? ~~~~~~~ "Goin' home, goin' home, by the waterside I will rest my bones; listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock my soul" "I will walk alone by the black muddy river and sing me a song of my own"

And some then seemingly die!! First off.... I can't thank all of you kind people enough for sharing this music we all love so passionately.... I have taken advantage of many of the offerings available in the Vineyard.... and I shall continue to..... But I am holding ten vines that no one else apparently wants.... I am the last name on the list for each.... I keep trying to bump them to the front to get some attention hoping someone will bite and take them off my hands.... Just did so with all ten.... but holding on to them makes me feel guilty! So I guess this is merely a time and place for me to vent. Again.... thanks to all for sharing.... and thank you Marye for all your work as well. Peace my friends.... Raymond.
