    Do people still trade tapes?
    Not sure if tape trading is very active these days. Most of the better tapes have made their way to the Grateful Dead archives being digitized into FLAC's Oggs and MP3 VBR files. https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

    never played collection of tapes
    Hi,I just ran across a large collection of unplayed second generation dead tapes. my neighbor just collects things. he is not a fan of the dead but copied someones tape collection and then put them away and never played them. 119 cassette tapes he say's he copied from a guy that new the deads soundman. I have no idea what he has. the first tape I checked out is labeled shrine 11-09-1967 and is an excellent recording, sounds like a soundboard (I don't hear the audience). after looking on the internet I am confused. the dead.net site says they never played on that date. the internet archive has 7 songs from the next day 11-10-67. the first song on one side (not labeled with side one or two) is "the other one" and is not the version listed as unknown source on the internet archive from 11-10-67. so I have no idea what he has, or how to go about even figuring it out. but they are all unplayed so I thought they might be of interest to the community. let me know if this might be of any interest to anyone. thanks, clint bush I don't visit forums often so if interested just email me directly TennesseeJed12345@att.net

    even if the most recent batch has been taken, stick around, because now that folks know you're looking they can keep you in mind for future stuff too. Meanwhile, if you're set up to copy CDs and DVDs, look into the Vineyard, which has an amazing range of stuff from all eras. You sign up, copy the disc when it arrives, and send it to the next person on the list.

    A year or two ago I decided that my collection of over 450 tapes was taking up closet space that I wanted back. I had since downloaded digital copies of most of those amazing shows so I knew I would be OK. Dark Star Orchestra was coming to play an outdoor venue in our town and I new they would host a large number of heads at their show. I gathered most of these tapes(I had to keep a few of the most killer masters for me) and toted them to the show I set up around my car the wall cases of tapes with a sign that said FREE, but please be kind to others. Most folks could simply not believe it and repeatedly asked, 'are you sure?'. Many traded stuff for them and I felt real good passing along to the younger heads -their first tapes. Fun, Fun, Fun

    I was cleaning out a closet over the weekend
    and discovered boxes and boxes of tapes that had been thrown in there more or less at random a decade or so ago. It's going to take several bursts of energy to sort them all out. I also found two reels, which I have no idea why I have them, as I have never had a reel-to-reel. One of the Dead at the Hollywood Palladium, one of mixed Dead/Airplane stuff. The only thing I can think is I must have grabbed them at a yard sale, or someone else did thinking Hey, Mary Will Like This... I suspect there are still quite a few of us with tapes, even though we rarely play them. One thing that makes me really happy though is that the technology is now such that you can connect your cassette deck to your laptop with nothing fancier than a plain old patch cord and digitize your tapes. Whether it makes sense to do this with your music is debatable, as there are almost certainly better versions out there but hey, this is the one you imprinted on. But I've got a boatload of interviews that SERIOUSLY need this, painful as it is to hear myself sounding like a fool all the time. Usually the person I'm talking to doesn't.

I've decided to simplify my life further and I need to find a good home for my tapes. Mostly Grateful Dead, all kinds of gems - collected back in the early 90's. Lots of stuff - I have about 450-500 hours of Dead, plus probably 50-80 hours of Phish and a few other oddballs... any interest? No cost at all other than shipping - but given the physical size of these 400 tapes, picking them up from my house in B.C. would probably be easiest?? Hmm, perhaps we could figure out another plan. Please email me at davecox37@gmail.com -

i've got boxes and display cases full of quality bootleg tapes to trade for some quality cds, dvd's or to pass on to anyone that wants to listen to audiotapes. some of my favorite shows are Madison, wi 2.15.73 (phils bass solo into eyes is stamped in my mind as one of the best) and boston garden 9.26.91 second set ( a real mindbender very fluid and special)

OK, I am offering a MASSIVE hard drive burn for 1 (one) lucky head just in time for the holidays. What I am offering is a library of music that you will enjoy forever. I have over 350gb of high quality soundboards (and MANY other treats, believe me!) and video that I will burn to your blank external drive. The audio is mp3 at high bit rates from 128k to 320k. Yes, it is 'lossy' format, so picky audiophiles and FLACjunkies need not apply. All tracks are ID'd and ready for your iTunes or other digital library. A 500gb portable external is recommended for this high volume B&P. I have done this in past years for a few members. Ask members; redgrenadine, Brewster Boy or Long Rifle about the quality of my library or my trustworthiness in getting your materials back to you in a timely manner. The ideal candidate would be someone who does not have alot of stuff who is ready to explore and discover the music, and willing to share it with others freely. This collection includes Grateful Dead, Garcia stuff, Furthur, The Dead, Phil & Friends, etc... Just PM me and introduce yourself, I'll let it go for a few days and post the result here. Happy Holidays...

Hey Now,I am trying to find a home for some of my tapes. I know everyone has been on the digital side for many years including myself. I have also been matering and xfering to CD. I have a lot of early 90 tapes up for grabs. Probably about 300 or so. Most are sbds and a lot are AUD masters. I really hate to throw these in the local landfill. If anyone wants them they are yours! Shipping in large flate rate boxes for $20 ea. A box holds about 60 tapes. The other option is I am heading to Phili shows and Hampton if anyone wants them, I can bring them with me and drop off so there is no cost to you. Let me know! Let the music flow.... Deadtaper

I'm thinking Baldwin grand piano and Bruce Hornsby, K8, for your inquiry seeking a Shakedown with a classical touch. Vince Welnick also plays on the electric Hammond Xb2.Check the LMA (archive.org) for versions from Berlin, 10/19/90, thru 3/20/92, Hamilton, Ontario. FYI: I've read lately where Bruce now plays a Steinway...

I got the soundboard off the web before the site was closed down. Can we trade this stuff without goons (lawyers) coming after us???? I'd guess we could as long as the shows/tracks are not commercially available. For example, I think that April 26, 1972, Jahrhundert Halle, Frankfurt is sold on this site and should not be traded. 4/8/72 is the show they got Cumberland Blues for Europe 72. That track cannot be traded with the show. Once you get the show, you can stick it on your copy in sequence.

for those just joining us, yes, tape trading is allowed here. No, tape trading of copied commercial releases, including those out of print, is not allowed here. Hence, coming on here and asking people to copy the Fillmore 69 box set and send you the music is not okay and jeopardizes the tape trading scene. Thank you. ME the mod

I don't trade tapes anymore, but I wrote myself a plugin for Winamp that streams Dead shows from archive.org's collection of audience recordings. I wanted something that would let me listen to new shows while I work at my desk. I love it, so I figured I'd share it. If you have the latest version of Winamp, you can download my plugin here. http://www.winamp.com/plugin/deadhead/222488 If you don't have the latest version of Winamp, you can download it free here. http://www.winamp.com/ Enjoy. And if you end up using it, let me know what you think. A.Rod

Hi, I've got about 3-400 shows on tape that I'd like to unload. No trades necessary as I'm not a fan of the Dead. I just would prefer to not throw this huge pile in the trash so I'm hoping someone would like to come and pick these up--FREE. I can provide a list of the shows if you're interested. I'm in the Buffalo, NY area, FYI. Anyone interested?

Hey folks, Just wanted to say that if people are looking to give away there tapes I certainly would be interested in the J-cards. I'm part of the younger generation of Deadheads and I thought it would be neat to collect the artwork on the backs of them. I only have about 5 or so, but from the ones I have they're pretty cool. I plan on collecting a whole bunch and then making a collage out of all of them possibly. I see them as a art form! Best wishes to all, Nathan. Pretty much like these found here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.379006056358.158917.3030359263…

Hello All,I am an artist and deadhead working in Los Angeles (I know, kind of a brutal environment). I collect deadhead documentaries, and Dead audiocassettes. I have been hesitant to join the dead.net community and to post (I guess out of some form of weird intimidation), but the project I am working on needs some help, and I think this internet community can aid in its health. The project I am speaking of is a long term one. I am trying to collect every Grateful Dead show recorded on tape/audiocassette. It's a monumental aim, but I think it can be accomplished. For more precise information please look at the blog I have started that documents the progress of the project: www.deadtapecollector.tumblr.com Although I started this in the Fall of 2010 - it has taken me a while to get everything in order to prepare for the mammoth task. It is all in preparation for a well documented, and well taken care of preserve of information, imagery and sound thru physical object. Tapes are becoming harder and harder to find, and as a cultural object I feel should be preserved in some respective form or another. I am looking for any generous souls who would like to donate their tape, or tapes to this collection. It could be your worst recorded tape/s, or the best - quality is not important. What is essential is that it comes from you, a fan, and that it is charged with individual soul. I notice that there are others that have asked for substantial amounts of tapes in the past few months on this thread, I apologize for the echo. I am willing to pay for shipping, or if you are in California, to meet you and pick it up from you. I might also have something to trade, it will probably not be a tape though. I am more than happy to discuss and talk with you. You can contact me here, or from the email address on the website : deadtapecollector@gmail.com. THANKS for reading, and hope you are feeling and being 100%

Hi Everyone: Glad to be here but sad occasion. I've traveled to the White Mountains of eastern Arizona for over a decade; now they're burned to the ground. I'm contemplating a multi-media presentation with my photographs and would like to have a Morning (Mourning) Dew to go with. Who'd like to point me to the mellowest, most soulful, transcendent performance of that song? I'm pretty much a '70 - '74 kind of guy but my favorite show so far is 1976-07-18. I have 1974-10-18. If y'all could give me some suggestions, I could track-down the recordings. Sorry if this is the wrong forum. Thanks, BA

It's been a while since I've had a look at the download page, so I figured I'd take a peek, and was friggin' AMAZED to see 1500 folks have downloaded my Winamp plugin. For those who don't remember, this is a piece of software that lets Winamp play random Dead shows from the archive, one after another. I wrote it for myself to listen to the Dead while I work, and submitted it to Winamp in case anyone else was interested. No way in hell I would have thought 1500 people would download it. I seriously didn't think Winamp still had that many users! Anyway, if you're interested in checking it out, you can find it here: http://www.winamp.com/plugin/_/222488 A.Rod
