    Full Show Downloads?
    In response to the below, I've checked back a few times but I couldn't find the downloads. Help...? THanks, dajokr okay, some answers On July 15th, 2010 marye said: 1. The full show downloads are in the process of being re-loaded and will be back shortly. 2. Per the engineer: "all of the FLAC files are sourced from .wav files of the original masters and are not converted mp3s"

    Looking for a VW ad from Rolling Stone magazine
    Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Looking to purchase a copy of the VW ad from Rolling Stone shortly after Jerry died. I believe it was a VW bus and the copy said something to the effect of, “thanks for the long strange trip.” Thanks in advance for your help.

    taxes paying for archive
    A recent op-ed piece by Brian Riedl (Heritage Foundation) alleges that $600 million taxpayer dollars are going toward the Grateful Dead Archives. While I'd gladly contribute $2 bucks (my share) towards this endeavor, I wonder if there is truth to this?Peace, Fred

    OY!
    I am waiting on someone and figured I'd kill some time trying a bit more. ---I kinda ran on here, have that tendency, so maybe just scan it and I'll try one last thing later and make a more concise summery report--- There seems to be no pattern, hit & miss. One image I never get the scaled pic even at 72 dpi. It is the largest physical size pic as it is an 8x10 photo scanned in, cropped and resized to the 600x400 limit but as you lower the res the physical size, if printed, grows and maybe that has something to do with it??? But shouldn't since it is only 63 KB. When I upload the one and only that has worked so far it worked again & I see the scaled pic. Try another and maybe, the one again and no, yet another n maybe... I don't freakin' get it. I did one I don't care about at 72 dpi and saw the scaled image after upload, hit preview, did not see it other than the scaled, clicked submit and it was there like it is supposed to be. Tried doing what I did for the first and only successful one so far and it did not work this time with another pic at 200, 100 or 72 dpi, same pic at the different res. I deleted that one, tried a few others with clicking on submit, 72 & 100 dpi and they only gave me the scaled image after uploading and nothing when I submitted, I deleted those too. I just did one with uploading the very first taper's tic again, upload, saw scale, upped a different one also at 200 dpi, saw scaled, submitted and I see it like it is supposed to work. I stopped since it appeared to work, left that window open and came back here. Still have not learned anything really definitive other than possibly flaky system never showing in preview, sometimes showing the scaled image after uploading and sometimes showing correctly after submitting. I'm thinking if it does not show after submitting it did not make it to your queue, can't be published and it does not matter if it was the first normal attempt of my goofiness. (Addition after “ending” before posting of course is I think maybe an extra long file name does not work, one had 43 characters and no go, and that ‘ in the file name is ok but not & because when I changed & to _ and shortened as I say somewhere here it seemed to work. Also I tried adding “&” in an already short file name and it would not show the scaled image after uploading before submitting nor show after submitting). Before posting this I tried to do another one and now no matter what no scaled image after uploading, tried a few over and over but never submitted. Kept at it cause nothing else to do right, hello buddy where are you LOL, and going around trying to up 4 different ones, including the one that has worked, one that appears to have worked and 2 others and never had one pic show in scaled and when I got one of the 2 I'm trying to submit to show scaled after uploading I submitted but then it did not show so I deleted it. Sorry this got a bit long going round in circles adding more notes as I went trying to figure this out without success while still waiting on someone after WOW I did not realize it has been 2.5 hours since your post above Mary. Went to the topics page of this part of the forum to see since it shows time since last post. It would be nice if there were timestamps next to the posting date. This is getting nerve racking and this sort of thing is part of my job. I am really thinking there is something flaky with the system as that would explain why the same pic would work one time, not another, then yes... and also possibly partly why the no image in the queue is not uncommon. I stepped away from this for a bit and tried the one that never showed a scaled image after uploading. It was a kinda long file name although I have seen longer here before but that could be before image limits, pixels, res & size might have changed. I shortened and still no go. It had an "&" in the name and when I change it to a hyphen I saw the scaled image. Could be coincidence but I tried replacing the & with _ in the long file name and no go but first try with _ instead of & with shorter file name and I saw the scaled image. It did not preview, no surprise there since none have yet, and it did not show when I submitted. I tried the first "trick" from a few days ago and no then around an around I went again and now I see it after submitting. Ooops this grew some more while experimenting, getting a little frustrated but persevering and noting since brain death occurred a little bit ago and I'm not totally remembering all I did so I'll refer back to this later. Hopefully the two I think worked today, one right after your last post Mary and the 2nd just a little bit ago, that I see correctly after submitting is in the queue and you only see those 2 not all the other attempts that I deleted too. Ahh finally the call I've been waiting for, time to chill and officially start the weekend :)

probably best to start with an email to drrhino at rhino.com and explain what you have in mind so he can send you to the right folks.

Almost every time I visit Dead.net I get into technical problems. Need to hire a techie maybe? <grin>
I can't order Dave's Picks 2020. The field that says "delivery option" is blank. No choices are listed. So it won't let me continue to the "billing" section. What's up?

I have been a huge fan of the Dead since I heard St Stephen for the first time in 1988 (getting stoned before a Mountain Bike trail ride). Well, I have been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on tool restorations for the past couple of years and have decided to hopefully start making some of my own. Knowing the Dead has been into the free sharing of their live performances, I figured their music would be a better fit than all the royalty-free music that everyone uses. (My account on there is even The Dead Rabbit) . But before I just go and start using their music I thought I would look into if they had a problem with use of that nature. This website seemed like the most logical place to start! Thank you for your time John M. Albert "Rabbit"

I’m not a lawyer, but sometimes I play one on the internet.
They own a copyright on all their music.
But, if it’s playing in the background while you repair a tool, and you don’t receive any revenue from the video, then they probably won’t harass you.
I suggest that you hang a steal your face in the background to promote the band, and maybe even indicate the artist and song that are playing in the background.
Maybe you’ll convert a few tool heads to dead heads.

I think I found the Lawyer for their licensing email and basically copy and pasted my post to them with a little rewording. Thanks for the input, however, I am betting converting these guys will be a challenge. Most of them are around the age of the big bang I mean big band swing music era! LOL ..and carving a SYF is a planned project if I ever get the time!

What is wrong with the distribution of Dave's Picks Vol. 32? Mine was supposed to be delivered nearly a month ago. Tracking shows it got to my city, then it went to several other locations and eventually ended up in Franklin, Indiana, where it was "delivered." I live in Ohio. Emails and a phone call have produced lots of apologies but no correction and everything has been silence for well over a week. The impression I'm given is this is a problem affecting many, but I see no word of it here. Any helpful information?

Sorry to bug you guys here but there are no other answers available within Dead.net ...

My handle is BrooklynJed and I won the US Blues clue on November 22. I would love to claim my calendar prize and savor the victory during the coming year.

Can you please advise how 30 Days winners can claim their calendars or refer me in the right direction?

Hello Marye
Hoping you can point me in the right direction on this. I live in Canada and received a shipping invoice related to DaP 31. I emailed Dr. Rhino 3 times in August but no answer. UPS told me it was resolved when I called them in September, but then I just received a collection notice. I've emailed UPS again and Dr. Rhino again, but anything you can do to help would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you!

Marye, I am not sure you can help but I really need someone who can communicate with Dr. Rhino. I ordered the Giants Stadium Digital Box set download before it was on sale. The email I initially received only had a link to download the 6/17/91 show. I have emailed and customer services more than 10 times over the last two months to try and resolve the issue. I have received two emails from Dr. Rhino which were supposed to address my problem but they only resent me the original link to the June 17, 1991 and nothing else. This has been going on more than 2 months now. It is becoming absurd. How can I get someone to understand my problem and to address it? Thank you.

Hello??? I'm not sure what else I can do to get attention on my order. I've emailed numerous times, only to get an auto reply and a ticket number. Received no response to date (order placed Nov 30th!), at all!
Incredibly lame. I feel ripped off and want a refund at this point.

I ordered the 50th Anniversary cd dvd box on Nov. 8. Today is January 24, and it has not arrived. Worse yet, it is shown on deadnets data as not having been shipped. I contacted PayPal and today, a day later, got a message from Deadnet saying the box is on the way. So far all turned out ok and there is nothing for you to do.

In Europe there was a couple of years ago a spectacular bankruptcy of a sister company, Spincd. Lots of customers lost many lots of money. People trusted delayed shipments would arrive because the staff was cool and knowledgeable, but they also behaved fraudulently., and then bankruptcy ended all hope, and all payments went to preferred creditors. Now comes the work for you, Mary.

I wonder why nothing happened with that cd dvd box for 55 days, but it got sent as soon as Paypal came on board. My emails to deadnet were ignored, no answer, so maybe status matters even in deadworld. What do you think? A second issue is why deadnet does not give info about delays. If there are agency or economic problems, it must be better to tell customers instead of being silent and covering everything up, which gives rise to anxiety and a focus on contacting the credit card companies before their individual time bars for helping expire. What do you think and can attitudes be changed?

Regarding yr message of Jan. 24, I cannot find a reply. The issue was non-delivery of an order 137400000224956 and particularly why it was not shipped for at least 60 days. The staff over at deadnet do not answer though I have got a new report from them about ten days ago that it has at that time been sent. My concern is some kind of problem which could result in future problems in ordering. Are you geting a run-around from the shipping dept. Why would shipping of a paid for order be delayed 60 days? Well one possibility is some kind of financial iliquidity.

for international shipments, why not take directly the customs fees, and allow us a shipment other than the standard one.

I still buy your CDs but I would love to have digital copies too. Why are there not packages where we can buy the CD box like the new 1976 box that includes the ability to download the digital files for an additional fee? The current pricing structure is almost as much again to get the digital files too.

is go to eBay and look for comparables, i.e. what the tie is going for from other sellers. Keep in mind that the asking price and what people are willing to pay are often very different.

OK so I appreciate that the world is kind of turned inside out right now but a small plea nonetheless - I can only assume that my copy of DP33 has got lost on its journey across the water - no sign of it here, there is just a FAINT chance of course that it might by RTS via the courier service but owing to the fact that I never even received an email advising of shipment I cannot check on this, I tried contacting you via the central email but simply got bounced back....please... is there ANY chance of my actually receiving my order, even if not before the (hopeful) arrival of DP34... sorry if this sounds like a rant, it isnt, and I totally appreciate the great stuff that you do but.....
