Grateful Dead

and checking out 3/19/77

Terrapin > Playin' > Samson > Playin' in the FIRST SET

and not rudimentary performances of these tunes. It's truly outstanding stuff.

Second set is five consecutive jammers with no Drums interlude.

Please please please check out this show.

"Yule" be glad you did.

I just had the waste taken out on mine, nothing worse than a restrictive, ill-fitting tunic.. My NRPS box set arrived yesterday and I think the New Garcia Live show arrives today. It just doesn't feel right opening these without my comfy, hole-ridden, cave mud stained beige tunic. In fact.. I am tossing my other clothes into the river to make room for the new box set.

As for Montana.. what a show and what a pick. Top shelf, but then again, I have not yet met a '74 show I did not like. Even Roanoke has it's moments.

Thanks for slapping us back to reality Jim. Time to put that tunic away for now....

Was listening to that wonderful Dave's Picks #9 recently from 5/14/74 MT. The show just before the 74 PNW shows. This show sounds better to me than the box set shows and I have no idea why, it just seems a notch above. And the PNW shows sound awesome, after you get past the first song on some of them.
Wait, maybe I need to get that tunic back!

Carlo, I only got the 10 disc version because I COULD NOT afford the 38 disc version. It filled in some holes for me (at least I now have SOMETHING from every artist). I fully enjoy listening to this set. I thought the price was fair (and I also discovered delivery to Amazon lockers!!). If you wish you had been there as I do, I believe you will be glad you got this set. Nice liner notes in the book also. What could go wrong??
Did anyone see my wife around here??????

Hey Carlo, no not number 12, nor 14, but lucky number 13. Hit me with an email dennis.wilmot@verizon.net, include a large subject like CARLO13 so I don't miss.

Where it really gets weird is when LMG tells you that he will only accept a money order to pay for the alleged goods that he is peddling. And then it gets weirder when items don’t show up as promised or are totally different from what was described in the first place. A Wolfe in sheep’s clothing if I’ve ever seen one. He collects his dues while we sing round the fire. Whether or not he is blind makes no difference. The fact of the matter is that he does not see. Glad others are starting to take notice! This wolf should prey on us no longer!!!

Be well all!

Winterland 77 Vinyl Box that would be worth $400.

What ya waiting for Rhino.

You said in a dead.net post yesterday that you sold two Winterland 77 box sets for $1000 total and have a third that you're asking $400 for.

When you advertise and sell CDs and other Grateful Dead merchandise on the dead.net message board, especially at these hugely inflated prices, you do so in vioalation of dead.net's Terms Of Use, which can be found in a link off the home page.

Here are the specific Terms Of Use you are in vioation of when you advertise and sell Winterland 1977 for 4-5 times its original value:

Rules Of Conduct section (the verbiage here is abbreviated, but no context is altered):

-- You will not use the Site to advertise or offer to sell any goods or services

I think that line is clear enough. But does dead.net really care if someone who doesn't like a particular Dave's Picks offers it up at face value? I doubt it.

But here is where things get complicated. This next Term Of Use you violated is detailed in the Usage Restrictions for Products section (the verbiage here is abbreviated, but the context is not altered):

-- All Products you purchase, obtain or access on or through the Site are solely for your personal, non-commercial use....you may not sell or exploit in any way, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the Products...

Not only does it repeat the statement that you can't use their website to sell, but it specifically states you can't EXPLOIT their products. "Exploit" is the key word in your situation, because to be exploitative is to make use of a situation that treats others unfairly for your own personal gain. In your case the situation you made use of is the status of the Winterland 1977 box set being out of print. This gave you the leverage to put a $500 price tag on dead.net's $99 product. In sum you exploited their product by capitalizing on it being out of print and taking in a 400% profit for yourself on each of the two box sets you sold for $500 each.

I brought this matter to your attention because dead.net is not your personal storefront and what you're doing is wrong. As for your finding these three difficult to obtain Winterland box sets in mint condition in your music room. That sounds like a completely unbelievable story to me. You already offered to sell Europe 72 CDs last year on dead.net, so I would think nothing is off limits. Then I wonder if the stuff you're selling at very high prices is coming into your possession as a result of this "insider" status you claim to have, where you know which concerts will be released before its announced, or like themultiple DaP 32 copies you told us you received several days before everyone else got theirs. And then coincidentally you have a DaP 2019 bundle for sale a month later.

I really am curious how you came into possession of not one but three of the most expensive box sets on the secondary market. All opened and in mint condition. What are the possibilities? And how does someone forget this? Did they fall off a truck? Were they promos from your inside connections? Did you buy three at $99 each to sell at a later date? (seems unlikely because you once said you don't have an ebay acct, and nobody foresaw this box set going into orbit once it sold out). Were they given to you by other deadheads who are aware of your financial challenges?
(Could be anyone in that category, really).

Anyone buy the 10 cd back to the garden box? I heard it's good. Wondering if it's worth the price.

Four from the vault is 17 y/o news. I'm buying new jimi Hendrix box. Can't beat the price.
