Grateful Dead

FYI, playing 3/4&6 with the Q, and 13, 15&16 with others?
At the Capitol of course.

Unfortunately, I think your right about the game….

I fought the Law. Originally by the Crikets with Sonny Curtis after Buddy Holly died. The Bobby Fuller cover of the song became the first biggest hit of it.
I only know cause I’ve been looking it up and listening to different versions since it came up here lol.

I think that was an original by The Bobby Fuller Four, Jerry was a big fan, check him out, one of those rock mysteries that might never be solved.

I would not be surprised if people are stealing DaP’s as they pass through distribution centers.
Little white boxes that say Grateful Dead on them.
Box Sets are even easier to identify due to the artwork on the package. But harder to steal due to the size.

Same MO guys last couple years.
Gets to Denver lickety split via UPS, hands off, but USPS doesn’t scan to receive, probably on purpose, then instead of usually arriving in a few days per tracking, it disappears with no way to track? Fortunately, it’s alway showed up eventually. But why should loyal customers have to be stressed out about this?

I’d gladly pay extra for full UPS straight to our door…
EDIT: the Other One said they told her it’s because of contracts, Booooo!

Dark Star>Echoes>Dark Star.

Make it 60 minutes long.
Fun!

An unforgettable vocalist with Can.

As great as they are, You play the same songs 60-100 nights a year for thirty years, your gonna need something fun and different sometimes…
I know I needed em and I only saw them like 10 times a year!

EFFIN USPS! I hear ya guys, it’s complete BS. I bet they don’t do the handoff scan on purpose, for many reasons, paramount being that if they loose it, they don’t have to be accountable!

Due to the limited numbered BS, I bet somewhere, some POS is stealing…

Despite your incredible trials and tribulations I am encouraged.
Cheers

Hello 1stshow, oh man, I had a sinking feeling last week when you were posting about how your delivery of 49 kept being pushed back by one day. Because what you described is exactly what happened to me with my Vol 46. In short, UPS said it was handing the package to USPS, but USPS said they never got it. So the tracking went into a sort of idle/default mode, pushing the delivery date out each evening, and I sat there for a week thinking, "welp, tomorrow..."

But tomorrow never came. That package never arrived. I even went down to my local post office at UPS' suggestion. Then began lots of back-n-forth with dead dot net reps - I think Monique was one of them, and these folks are SLOW; getting a reply took a week typically. But I waited patiently, expecting they'd finally do right by me, and a few weeks later I finally got them to ship me a replacement package.

And then *the same thing happened again!* It got to the same UPS depot, in roughly the same time, and it vanished. At that point I concluded that someone was stealing these packages; I don't think it's possible for lightning to strike the same way twice.

Getting it fixed took a deus ex machina. I tried and tried but customer service just basically abandoned me (edit: or at least, that is what it felt like after 6-7 weeks of this.) Finally I managed to reach the good Mr. Lemieux, who made a call to Rhino. By this point what had begun in May had now reached the 4th of July weekend. But despite the holiday, later that same day I got an email from "Mac" at Warner Brothers. I don't recall his exact title but iirc he was basically head of customer support. He placed a copy into a brown bubble mailer and sent it to me personally. That's how this got resolved. He also refunded me. And someone at dead net comp'd me - I think they said "pick an item of similar value" so I picked a Bear's Choice t-shirt and gave it away as a gift.

It all worked out but I don't think I've ever had to send that many emails and DMs to get something delivered. I was on the verge of canceling my sub. But then Dave stated that #49 was to be from 1985, and he roped me right back in...
