SYF legal help

Is it legal to use the SYF image in a sculpture? I made a cast aluminum wall hanging last week for myself (something I have wanted for a long time) and was wondering how legal it is to sell these things on lot? What if any are the copyright laws with the SYF logo? My piece is a original sculpture made by me molded by me and cast in alum. by me. I posted a photo of it on the fan photos page under fan art.

last straw!!

i am so pissed. who ever runs that dead.net site is wacked in the head. my 3rd disk dont play, and supervisor at 877-dead.net she told me i got to REBUY it. i paid good hard cash for my show CD at the show. and was told, i had to repay to get my disc. this is after losing me to a phone line that cuts me off. (22 minutes, 3rd call, it cuts me off, i had to call back a 4th time) well, why do i need to REBUY a broken item i BOUGHT already!?? i was told i could "hear" the show 15 minutes after the show, i am still waiting, 5 days later. the phonelines didnt work all weekend, then, i get "we dont handle Concert CD's here, you have TO REBUY it, so we can download it in your puter!!" well, thats all good'n fine, but i bought a CD, not a download!! and the only contact number on the CD is dead.net, if you contact them, as it is stated on package, and they dont handle the CD's sold at show time, how to i get this 3rd disc replaced without spending more then the show ticket? i have never felt so used and dirty dealing with a grateful dead vendor, as i did with dead.net. and i still didnt get an answer. i was told by manegment, that they will take a report, and take it to upper management, and i will get a call back within 3 to 5 days! thats over a WEEK AFTER THE SHOW, and bad CD. do you wait a week, to get the steak replaced that was over cooked in a restaurant? well, why should i wait aweek, to talk to manegment about a CD i bought, that just displays "read error" no 3rd CD, only 1st song after drums, no last half of set, no encore. i spent a lot of this same time frame of the show in RockMed, now i missed the show 2x. after all this negitive Karma with dead.net, i dont feel i will even listen to the show, can i sell my flawed faulty CD back to the dead please?

reasoning

on a lighter note, when rockmed people asked if i know why my wife got this bad, i told them she was too sick for raise the flag tour, now once again, she was sick, but we felt she was well enough, but we guessed wrong as it seams. then i told him it was the bands fault, if they did shoreline 2 times a year, 2 or 3 nights in a row, i could of taken her when she was feeling better. this 3 shows in 13 years at shoreline just isnt enough. we just had to go, we never know when they tour together again, like all outdoor venues, rain or shine, the show must go on. tix was bought, with no foreseen time of a return, we risked it. in truth, it was worth it, a bit scarry there, on the encore, i couldnt fight the crowd on the lawn, to try to find her, and if i left in the encore, i would of had to leave her alone, in a panic. i had to wait for lights to come on, to get help for her, without leaving her side. RockMed is the best. i wont get a lawn t9icket again, if they return, i like lawn at shoreline, but the wife is too ill. i sit in lines for hours'n hours, to get tix the day they come out, (now it is prebuy online, as a fanclub member, same thing) but the dead, shoreline, the lawn is where it is at, you cant dance in the seats. i miss the old cal-expo shows, with the open area in front of stage and the seating in the back. i always felt that the dance floor should be in front.

The Wristband CD

this was a great surprise, to find i could get the show, clearer, and better quality recording, then the old taper recordings i use to hunt down. i too had my wife taken away in an ambulance, at shoreline 5-14-09. it was asthma related, but my wife lost half a lung about 5 months ago to pneumonia, and has a tumor low on her back pushing into her spinal cord, and cuts off leg movement sometimes. the attack ,the crowds, and all got too her we figure. RockMed are the best. they was right there, on the ball, and got my wife off the lawn at shoreline, with my wife in a wheel chair, had an O2 tank ready for her not 2 minutes after reporting my wifes position on the lawn Thank You RockMed. now the question. the wristband CD had 3 discs, my disc three wont play any track after the 1st track on my car CD player. in my home CD player, a bit better quality wont play track 3-5-6 it shows "read error" the way it is, i only really get to listen to my car CD player. so i only get 1st track on 3rd disc!! i lose all but 1 song after drums/space. this disc is the same time frame my wife was having problems. i spent most of the last part of concert calming her down, and hunting down RockMed, and sitting in RockMed office with my wife. i dont want to lose last half of 2nd set again. who do i contact about this? you can ask RockMed at shoreline, the got a full report from me and wife there on file.

Hey there Y'all -

Thanks

Almanac archives

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.

30 days download info prob

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, Max Wishbone

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.

30 days download info prob

Thanks, thats what I did. I missed yestereday :( but today the info was in Japanese or something.
Peace.

9/24/94 (Phil & Friends at Berkeley Community Theatre)

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!

Been waiting 31 days for 2 shirts and a pair of socks...
Order not even shipped yet; is this normal?

Does anyone know how many…

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.

DMCA

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!

30 days of dead

Hey there.. I was really excited to win the 30 days of dead daily contest and haven’t received any contact and have looked everywhere to try and find Out who to contact or whatever so I don’t miss out.. any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

Taper's section

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

ADEADHEADINCHILE

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.

Merch licensing

Who do I contact to obtain merchandise licensing? Thanks!

30 Days of Dead

it was never revealed to us the Date and Venue of yesterdays 11/30/20 version of "Brokedown Palace" from which show and where did it spring forth????? Thanks

Magnificent Poster

Been a while ... just wondering why the photo of my pristine poster from 11/23/70, Anderson Theater, is no longer in the archive for that show.
Did you change the software or sumptin?

Zig

Several times, re site updates. Welcome back!

Two quick things if i may

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.

May 1977: Get Shown The Light (All Music Edition)

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
friscokid77

Shall we assume that All The…

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

Friscokid

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.
