Looking for June 25, 1995 RFK

I have the live show recorded from June 25, 1995 minus Lucy in the Sky at the very end...does anyone have this? Also, Dylan played Everybody Must get Stoned as the last song of his set that night and I don't have that either. Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

CDs need a new home...

Hello folks, I have been a lurker off and on here for years, can't remember the last time I posted anything. anyway, I have about 1600 Phish discs and about 700 Grateful Dead discs that need a new home. Most of them have been in storage in spindles for a few years, some have been listened often. Most phish are from schoeps (often FOBs) sources and the dead shows are mostly from charlie miller. My wife and I have a baby on the way (due in early november) and I want to clear out some space and trade for some essentials. let me know, I'll send you the lists. I am looking to trade for at least 50 discs at a time, but prefer 100. Antonio

FREE Grateful Dead tapes,....and others....

Greetings. I have a giant crate full of bootleg concert cassette tapes by the Grateful dead as well as Weir, Garcia, and several other none-related artists (Bob Dylan, Moody Blues, Jefferson Airplane, New Bohemians, tons more...) The tapes belonged to my Dad, whom left them with me after he passes away. If I know my Dad, I know that he would want these tapes to be owned and cherrished by unique individuals out there that shared the same passion he did. I know that tapes are becoming obsolete with the turn of the technology age, but still, I have no use for these tapes and I want them to go to a new home. I don't care about making any sort of a profit off of these tapes,....all I ask is to maybe cover some of the shipping charges. I'm willing to stretch 25 cents a tape, and will send bundles of tapes at a time upon request. Only downside is, I do NOT have a list,....and no I honestly do not feel like typing up a giant list. Basically, just I'm just wanting to send out random surprise tapes like a grab-bag deal. If you specify Grateful Dead ONLY, than I can make sure that only Grateful Dead tapes will be sent,.... My Dad was a huge Dead-head so that does make up most of the collection. However, if you're up to receieve any other artists mentioned above I can throw those in as well. Most of the tapes come with handwritten track listings and some even have bootleg artwork. Here are 2 photo links to my dad's collection... (pics are slightly blurry but you get the idea). http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c82/AtTheGates2099/?action=view&curre… http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c82/AtTheGates2099/?action=view&curre… That's not even a 5th of his collection,...much more, I just didn't want to dig them all out of the box. Again, they're basically FREE,...a minor donation for shipping would be appreciated... No list availible. Randomly sent. Anyone interested, please message me. Thanks!

highvibe

I agree with badger. Your offer is very kind but for the work and time that is required to get your recordings going, I could downlload 3 x as many shows from the net or sign up for vines and all I have to do is go to my mailbox and grab them. What I am getting at is that it is really easy to obtain shows in this day and age with minimal effort. What I am interested in is getting set up to do my own taping. I'd love to get some advice on how to get started... "The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire"

highvibe and paisley

Highvide your offer is kind, but I think most people here are now getting all the shows they need digitally as auds from Archive.org and as Soundboards from one or two well known well known torrent sites. Alternatively they are getting them from the the Vineyard on this site. Just about every show ever recorded by anyone is out there now.. You might get more interest if you publish a list of the shows you have..if some of them are new sources someone might take up your offer. Paisley..why dont you join the vineyard on this site to help rebuild your collection. Or go to some of the well known on line places to torrent or downlaod the shows you need. Good luck to both of you CB

Wow! Any tapers left out there???

I am thinking this thread might be somewhat Dead (^_^) or even worst - buried! Posted my offer 2 weeks ago (see below) and haven't gotten any responses or even see any signs of life on here! Offer still stands as of today (and indefinitely until I post here other wise!) Let's get on with the show.... Brother "A"

Dead Discs

Although I have nothing to offer in trade except good karma, I'm asking if anyone's willing to send me some shows. I lost my considerable collection of all things Dead during the summer of 2008. While I was hospitalized for depression after my wife's death, I was evicted from my apartment, and lost everything. While I'm rebuilding the rest of my life, it would be great to be able to listen to some music, if you've got the time and inclination. Thanks to the community for being here! ...all the years combine...

Big Beat Acid Test Recording 12-18-1965 (?)

A tape exists of this vintage show in Palo Alto: I used to own it. I can not find even a set list existing online. Hi Heeled Sneakers was played for sure... The date has been variably listed as 12-11-1965 or 12-18-1965, depending on when the Muir Beach Acid Test actually took place. Someone out there has a copy! Where are you? Greg Tyler Allison

uh, yeah

I seem to recall that there's at least one Queen vine in the Vineyard already. Nowhere is it written that Deadheads can't like other music. Quite the reverse. Put me down as a fan of Freddie's power pipes, though I never really followed the band. Wotta voice that guy had.

Let me know, but I am not very tech savvy, (it was hard for me to even get to where I could post this), so please be patient.

Vintage Tape Decks need a good home

Long time taper here thru the 70s and 80s. I have several tape decks that could use a good home. Nakamichi 1000 and a Tandberg TCD330 that need work. Also a Teac 2300SD Reel to Reel that works fine but could prob use a little tune up. before putting on ebay or FB, wanted to put it our to our community. Anyone out there that knows how to repair or tune up? I am in New Jersey.

Looking for Tapes

Hello there,

I am new to the dead.net forum and am struggling with the private message function - I keep getting an Access Denied error.

I would be interested in any tapes that someone may be looking to re-home and would be more than happy to pay any costs to ship them to me.

I’m a “new” dead head (born in 1990 so I have no choice but to be I suppose). I grew up on American Beauty and Workingmans, picked up guitar in the 90s with heavy GD influence on songs, and got to see Dead & Co at Alpine in 2016.

I have a bunch of old school music equipment both for listening and recording, and want to add some tapes to my collection. Getting harder now it feels like as everything GD is mainstream again (post Sphere even more so?) I snagged a box of reel to reel live recordings for $40 back in 2020; not sure you could find a single reel for that on the internet now.

Im just looking to have these for my collection and experience the music as it’s been experienced over the years without overpaying someone who is just out to make money off something.

Anyhow, appreciate your time, and if anyone happens to have any tapes around still, I’d be honored to add them to my collection.

Thank you,

Gayl from Wisconsin
