    my thoughts
    We've vined more than a 1/3 of the Dead's catalogue, including most of the shows from what may be considered the "better" years. Sure, there are some holes that could be filled in, such as the second half of 1969, a little bit of Europe or Fall 72, and definitely the early 80's, but there can't be any denying that the essentials have already been vined. There isn't much Dead left for me to acquire. And at least for me, there is some interest in live music from other bands. And, as someone here quoted Homer Simpson [from the Simpsons and not Day of the Locust] as saying, rock music peaked in 1975, a sentiment I agree with, and so I'm interested in "classic rock" bands at their performing peak. Finally, the Dan Lampinski recordings we are talking about have only recently been unearthed. They weren't really circulated until the last couple of years. And compared to many AUDs from the 70's, these sound very good. Mike Millard's Led Zeppelin recordings have been out there for a while, but his other stuff (Yes, Kansas) hasn't.

    You can take the Dylan Manchester '65 vine off my hands. When I get home tonight I'll post all the vines that have no homes and are sitting on my desk. The Dylan show is one of them.

    This is the meta data thread so if it's gonna be discussed, here is probably the best place I guess. There are quite a few "off-topic" vines already in circulation if you go through each vine page and see. I can't answer your question about Dylan. I would pass on it if it were vined. I would like to see some Kingfish. Not to poke too much fun at you but once you have been here for awhile, you tend to get a little crazy or shall I say, "odd." I am just plain nuts.

    Prog rock?/Dylan!
    Not that I don't love Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis and the like, but I find all this convo about prog rock vines to be slightly odd. On a related note, have no Dylan vines ever been offered here? My search pulls up a big blank.

    My wife hates Rush (and all the music I like). Some people are just not into music. I made a huge mistake of taking her to the 2002 Vapor Trails show. She complained about Geddy's squeaky voice and "was ready to go home" during the middle of the 2nd set. I had to hear "Working Man," from the parking lot going to our car. :-( She was left at home in 2007 at the Snakes & Arrows show. :-)

    I just found a Copenhagen YES show from 11-13-77 that is exquisite - I don't believe it is a soundboard - but rather a very high quality AUD - I give it a solid A - instrumentation and vocals are all clear and up front - no annoying buzz - a small amount of hiss - no big deal though. I'm sending that along too. "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door"

    Thanks Stuman! I'm most impressed that 'straw's wife likes Rush. My wife doesn't. I'd say that most rock bands garner a mostly male fan base. I would have guessed that Rush's fan base was almost exclusively male.

as posted, the vindex is missing CB's latest update. The search box is turning up no results for a lot of things. I use that to track down vines (easier than thumbing through all the listings and pages). Also my 1969 Lossless Part 5 thread is unable to be found. I posted a lil over a week ago if there was no movement on that then I would reseed it. I guess I'll let things settle for little while longer and hope it all works out. Btw I copied CB's vindex and have it saved as a txt file if anyone needs that since he may be busy to repost it.

I suppose an update is needed already due to the massive amount of new vines that have been started since summer (including a nearly complete 1982 year and a nice healthy dose of 1976)

The bicentennial grateful dead vine won't allow me to post. I received it yday. I've been working like crazy lately (11pm last night) but will be able to start ripping it tomorrow. Will update, hopefully on the thread, when it is ready to go.

Now the Vindex is getting so huge and seems to have been eliminated from this site, I am planning a new way of sharing it, which is intended to be easier for me, easier for folks to scan and analyse and that will not clog up the site. I am posting a link to a place where you can read a simple spreadsheet online with the VIndex on it. It includes a whole lot more useful info too, including a list of all the shows the GD ever played and dates of all official releases. The link is here. Please tell me if it works OK https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApYQXLRMperodHNXcXhNYjdpWH… thanks CB

we are having some site weirdness, which I've reported to Darren. Strangely enough, the Vindex is perfectly visible in the editor, but everything I've tried to make it visible in real life has failed. Including posting it as a new comment. We're working on this, but in the meantime, it is a good thing that another solution exists. Sorry for the trouble.

I did not mean to suggest that these two vines are physically lost 1969 Lossless Part 5 Bi-Centennial Grateful Dead Vine it's just that the pages that feature them here have disappeared (at least that was the case yesterday) . All part of the weirdness being investigated by MaryE.

Maybe I'm slow ... I don't know, but maybe there are others who don't know this: If you PM'd someone and you're not sure if they've read your message yet, go to your "sent" folder. If they haven't opened your message yet, the word "new" will appear in red in the subject line (just like when you go to your inbox and you have new messages). Kida like getting a read receipt. OK, maybe this doesn't seem like a big deal, BUT it does tell you if someone is no longer active in the Vineyard, which could stop vines from dying. For example: there is someone who hasn't opened ANY of my messages since February. If he follows me on the list, I know not to send him the vine. Make sense? New to the 21st century, Chris

I'm posting my thoughts regarding each show in the respective threads (go to "Shows & Lyrics" on the left, just under "Features") if anyone is interested. I've listened to the first 3 nights, grading 4/7 & 4/8 as 8.5 out of 10 overall, and 4/11 as 9 out of 10. I'm not a musician so my musical vocabulary is pretty limited, though as you all know I've listened to my fair share of Dead shows.

and actually arriving on people's doorsteps, I have retired the vines containing material from the Europe 72 tour. In some cases this is a matter of a single show and the vine could be re-seeded without the show in question. EXCEPT. I have not retired the videos for the time being. Had there been video in the box set, this would have been another story, but for the moment, there doesn't seem to be a compelling issue. Feel free to play it with the relevant CD from the box set cranked up...

In my opinion the vine should keep going. Some of us couldn't get the box set because dead.net can't figure out how to transcribe credit card and address info. Or how to save it to their database. I didn't sign up for that vine because I stupidly assumed I would be getting the box. "I won't take your life won't even take a limb just unload my shotgun and take a little skin"

the deal with tape trading (and its digital counterpart) being allowed on this site is that once something is in commercial release, it stops being traded here. The All The Music set is in commercial release and not in limited edition, therefore the Europe 72 set is off limits. I am sorry for your order hassles. I am doing what I can to help you with them. But it was not exactly a slam dunk to have tape trading allowed on this site at all, and this is a very bright line governing its being allowed. Thank you.

that are only in the Vineyard? (for example) that seems pretty straightforward to me. What am I missing? There are a number of new capabilities, and I'm trying to figure out if some of the old ones exist at all or in somewhat different forms, but topic selection seems to be okay. Topic EXCLUSION seems to be slightly more problematical and I'm still looking into that one... Also the mysterious disappearance of New Decade, New Vines, but hey, failing all else we can always start a new one for that; I don't think we had any new vines pending because of all the upheaval anyway. And if we did, You Know Who You Are.

But I don't see where you can sort the forums into the vineyard only. The 'sort window thing' used to be on the top of the page and I don't see it anymore. I could be as sharp as a marble or just blind.
