    On this site, where's the best way to reach as many D'heads as possible with a text? Thanks 🕉

    Were the CD’s stored in your house or car?
    A hot car will ruin CDs.
    Make CD-R backups to listen to, and store a copy, or 2,3,4,5, or more, on multiple hard drives. Safety in numbers.

    Pooh, political views

    In the interviews I’ve seen with Jerry he always claimed that the band was not about politics, nor did he try to tell people what to think or do. This is discussed in the Long Strange Trip Movie.
    So don’t try to claim that you know what Jerry would want.
    But, I understand your point.

    Im working on a comedy/ rockumentary

    Im looking for information on what I would need to do to get permission to use GD music to do a rockumentary about 13 Shakedown comics on tour, selling their wares from town to town to see Jehova's Favorite Choir, and entertain a Gamily of Strangers, relying on nothing but GD family, to see us through. Any Ideas?⚡🌹🐢💀

    Political Views?

    I've noticed a lot of people I know as true Dead Heads who are Trump supporters. This truly confuses me. To me it goes against everything that we stand for. I don't think if Jerry were alive that he would agree with it either. What are your thoughts?

    The obvious advice would be to back up your physical discs with lossless digital before the problem exacerbates. No doubt, skipping discs are frustrating.

    Deteriorating Cd's

    Recently, I have noticed that some of my favorite GD CDs are developing skips and other sound anomalies that previously didn't exist. It has happened on DP vol 2, Road trips Boston Music Hall 1976, and GD Movie Soundtrack. Has this ever happened to you? Is it just that the discs are poor quality? Heartbreaking when it is sometimes hard to find a replacement. Any answers? Thanks in advance.

    New releases/Limited production

    Just got the notification for Dave's Picks vol 29 and was very excited to purchase only to find the release already sold out. This has happened a number of times......the 77 Colgate University Show was another I missed out on. Is there any possibility at some point these shows will get released again. Any possibility increasing the release production to 40,000 instead of 20,000. I know the standard solution is to subscribe to the series but I can't afford to do that. Sad to be missing out.

Is the old site still running? There is still guest access and it looks like there are recent posts, but requests to reset my password go unanswered.

Hey there Y'all -
My Daughter was sorting through my records lately and found two unusual records (seem to be from a radio broadcast in 1981 on the NBC young adults network). If these are of value to the archive I would be glad to send them to the right person.
Thanks

They still exist, but I don't think they're active. I think technology may have overtaken it all to some extent; it pretty much comes down to whether people still want to do things that way. It was fun to get those DVDs in the mail...

I have an idea for an art project and I am wondering where is the best place to ask for tape covers with hand written set lists and / or cool drawings that aren't being used. I would 100% pay for shipping.

Hello. I was hoping that 30 Days of Dead 2020 will be coming our way in 2 weeks or so. Will there be an email announcement or banner on the main page? Thank you.

I just got a notice on the 2020 Almanac being available and I downloaded it to my Apple Books. This got me thinking- I collected all my hard copies back in the day and would like to download and add the ones I see here going back to 2013. All of the available links go to 2020. Any way to access the Almanac Archive? Always Grateful for your help.

i have been enjoying the 30 days feature. Problem is i downloaded Ship of Fools and the album info was from some band 'Bennie K' and their picture. Anybody else experience this? Wondering what i did. I am so not tech savy.
Thanks

Fatdag101, Re: Parish's B-Day, maybe it's in his book, Home Before Daylight.

Max Wishbone, wouldn't get too worried about the false cover art. You'd probably have to re-tag the files yourself but I don't want to get too technical here.

Hi MaryE!
I was just going through the archives marking all my shows and am surprised not to see 9/24/94 included. I understand it was billed as Phil & Friends (and no drummers), but wasn't that just a sleight of hand,( a la Hampton VA Warlocks) under the radar ticket sales at the time? I worked at the Warfield/Fillmore at the time and was fortunate enough to purchase tickets. Amazing :)
Thanks for everything!

Does anyone know how many tickets were generally sold as "mailorder" tickets directly from the Dead? As a percentage of total tickets sold.

Specifically, I am trying to figure out how many mailiorder tickets there were sold for the last show on 7.9.95

Lastly does anyone have any idea of the value of a used stub (ticket was used and half missing).

It has the hollogram (sp?)dancing bear , Grateful Dead, and 2 security strips. I also have the "This darkness got to give" letter that was handed out at these last shows, after the Deer Creek debacle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings all. I was wondering how to contact the label to request permission to use some Dead music on my stream. Unsure if I even need to honestly based on their overall bootleg policy as a band. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi and hope all is well from Talagante, Chile.
I have a file on my hard drive and it has many MP3's that say in the detail section "Tapers section" these files go back many years to 2008. My question is. at one time did the "tapers section" allow downloads ? I ask because these files were with my "30 days of dead" and I don't want to make extra work for myself while organizing. Thanks very much. Joe

Yep, selections from Taper's Section were downloadable for a good while, maybe a couple years. In fact, it created a little hubbub when downloading was made more difficult. Back in the day the selections were a little more eclectic with single tracks sprinkled in with longer clips. Taper's Section has since moved to a pretty much 3 streamable segments per week joint for quite a few years now.

I am fairly confident i am in the wrong place to ask these questions, so here we go.
1.) How does one go about claiming a calendar won during the recent 30 days contest?
B.) Does there exist anywhere a studio recording of He's Gone?
3.) If you happen to be the woman spinning on the hill at Buckeye Lake in '94 wearing a white sundress, get a hold of
me please. Your name has unfortunately slipped my mind.

Does anyone know if the digi-packs that hold the CD's for the ALL MUSIC EDITION of this box set
(and for that matter, the box that holds the digi-packs and booklet) are the same bulky size as the
NON-ALL MUSIC EDITION, or are they possibly about the same size as a Dave's Picks CD that will fit
comfortably on my CD rack. It's hard to tell from the picture in the Store.
Love the collectable box sets, but I'm running out of room for bulky boxes, and would love to keep
my music on the shelf.
Thanks for any answers/Feedback > Goodnight

Shall we assume that All The Years Live is dead/caput? Seems to have been removed from the site as of 2/14/2021...

It’s larger than a normal CD, and as such won’t fit conveniently on a shelf with other CDs, definitely won’t fit on a CD rack. I don’t have my copy in front of me but if I had to ballpark it I would say it’s about 10”x10” square maybe. But it’s damn near tiny compared to the PNW box haha.
