    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.

    You'd want to talk to the folks in licensing. If you send me a PM with the particulars I'll try to find the right person.

    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.

Hi, I made a video to post ("High Time"), but YouTube has blocked it, saying it's copyrighted material. Is this something that comes up now and then? Any clues on how to keep a video from being blocked -- it must sound too much like the original. Thanks, -Rob

Disk one of Daves Picks won't play. My player shows the # of tracks and the total play time, but won't play. I tried it on multiple players. Just curious if anything can be done.
Thanks much!

I have had a great idea for quite some time about a merch product that I would love to see come to fruition.
I believe the only way to do it right would be through GDM, as it would be a Highly Iconic design or two, used in a 'NEW' way, it would be a very popular item GDM should maintain control of.
Please let me know whom to contact!
Thanks!

Here's one largely positive review from Brian Dyke, in Taping Compendium Vol. I: of Denver Coliseum, Nov 20 1973 - though some of the details of his description don't match what I hear, and he resorts in a couple of places to (mild) versions of his typical fault-casting (saying "the triad of 'Promised' > 'Bertha' > 'Greatest Story,' falls flat on its face" - which just isn't so, I think ["Promised Land" 's particularly rhythmically good, w/very spunky drumming; Jer flubs the 2nd verse of "Bertha," though]).

Hello. First time poster. I saw on Facebook someone posted about Dave's Picks Volume 40 at Deer Creek.

I understand it is sold out, but inside there is a letter from John Scher to Dave Lucas. That Dave Lucas was my father.
He and his partner built Deer Creek, and created the vision on how great it ended up being. I myself worked many summers doing the marketing for the shows at Deer Creek including all the Dead shows.

However, I would like to get a copy of that as a present for him and I have no idea where to find. Can anyone help? Looking for a miracle(many times I handed out extra tickets as miracles). I think he would find it very special.

Thank you in advance.

Hey, dude from India!!

So, you're a spammer, AND a Deadhead??? Interesting combination............

Ultimately, Captchas are useless for spam because they're designed to tell you if someone is 'human' or not, but not whether something is spam or not.........

Now it's not just the state, it's your nosy neighbor, your ex-spouse and people who want to spam you......

I received a brand new and sealed copy of Dave's Picks, Vol. 30 w/bonus disc for Christmas. I opened it up and to my surprise, I found my copy to be numbered 190/300. I've seen some unnumbered promo copies released for other volumes, and I know there was a run of 500 extra copies of Vol. 3 to replace some copies that disappeared, but I can't seem to find any information on Vol. 30. Does anybody out there have any idea of what I might have? Thanks.

Has anyone here recently worked out a licensing arrangement for imagery? News article indicate licensing moved to Rhino Records a couple years ago, but it's not evident from their site how to properly go about becoming a licensee. Please help a Head! Thanks all.

I did not receive DP 43. Post office said the Dead only made a tracking slip and did not give them the package to send. I emailed the Dead and only received an automated response with a ticket ID number. How can I get this resolved?

Did you get my PM yesterday? The site is a little confusing so I was not sure if I did it correctly. I am the person who did not get Dave's Picks 43. If you did not get it can you just email me at jcharney@kprs.com and I will reply with the information that you requested. Thanks.

My sister Jamie was an Avid Dead Head. She passed away 10 Years ago. Hanging out with the rest of the band in heaven.
She left me with four signed GD Posters. What would be their collecting status / value. Where would I look for info on this web site for interest?
Thanks, Luke

I'm trying to subscribe for 2023 and the site won't allow the final step - purchase. I click and my pointer goes to a null sign.
I have also tried to make a new account at the store, to no avail.
I've tried on several browsers and computers. Could use a bit of help.

Thanks!!

Hello, I think that I may be Michael from Brookfield CT that won on 11/18. I have not received any contact though. I understand there may be another Michael in my town but if I do happen to have been the winner I would love to have the calendar prize!

Has anyone else had difficulty downloading 2022 30 Days of Dead selections today to try to get days missed during November, 2022? Every time I download one of the seven days I missed (yeah, I know, DUH) I get an error message that the file is corrupted. So I went in to download all of 2022 30 Days, and got the 2021 30 Days! Anybody else, or am I just weird?
