Space Jams

Well a lot of your descriptions are subjective to the listener. So, with that being said some of my suggestions might not be exactly what you are looking for but here you go: 1. 2-14-70 Dick's Pick TOO and Dark Star are absolutely killer and spacey as hell. 2. the Field Trip 8-27-72. For me this show is a melding of their really psychedelic stuff and the jazzy influence of '73, but there is some great psych-rock here. 3. Fillmore West 1969: the Complete Recordings. If you can get your hands on this box set, you will be set because this is their pinnacle of acid rock and killer stuff. In my opinion 68-through really '71 is the height of their acid era. So if that is what you really want then you can't miss. Once you branch out into late 70's and all the way until the end, you will find a much varied band that can rock-out on any tune on any given night. Not to say they weren't great in the 60's and early 70's (my second favorite year is 1970, after '77), they were--just different and in a good way. Happy hunting!!

Psychedelic Space Jams

I am a young Deadhead and I have been absorbing every dead show I can get my hands on. Right now I've been borrowing all the live Dead I can from my limited resources, but my hunger is insatiable and growing still. I am looking for suggestions of shows that are extremely spacey/psychedelic/out there. Jams that stretch on and on and take you to another planet, primarily through the instruments and not so much through vocals. Shows that just bleed electric acid vibes through your body and mind and leave you changed. Can anyone give suggestions of particular shows I should seek out?

always looking to trade

Wanted: reliable person with copious quality shows (preferably without gaps) on CD who wants to trade. I have a pretty extensive collection, mostly from 70's era, but am always looking to fill some holes (right now the Northwestern 11/1/73 is much desired) and acquire more Brent era Dead. PM with your email and we can exchange lists.

Cornell University 5-8-77

I am looking for a great sound board copy of this great show. The "Dew" is absolutly amazing--worth while on its own. I have about 250 shows on tape but most don't want tape and I don't have a digital converter (yet). So I guess I will have to do a B&P. If someone is interested, you can contact me at pwyatt30@yahoo.com. Take Care!

B&P Hard Drive

Instead of sending a b&p with blank cds they should just send a blank hard drive.

Please Help me

Hi, I would really like to make a serious Dead and JGB collection. I have started about 8 years ago when I was in high school. Yes I am young I am 26. Some people think I am too young to be a Dead Head. But Jerry has really inspired me and made me the man I am today. What I really want is to find a really big database of music I can put on my computer and convert to mp3s or burn to cds.. Youd think that with computers and fast download speeds you could just download gigabites of shows... Archive.org the only thing you can download are audience recordings. I really like sugarmegs but its hard to put in all the tracks for each show. I am using nero and thats not really working well... Does anyone have any ideas?? I would really appreciate. tphuber@gmail.com

Anyone want my cassettes?

I have well over 1000 hours of GD, ABB, Springsteen, jazz, SCI, Dylan, etc on tape, and now I have a deck that converts tapes to digital. I don't want to throw all these tapes away - bad for the environment, and a waste of years of meticulously collected music. I'm willing to give these away in bulk, and all you have to do is send postage and SASE - sort of like the old "blanks and postage" deal except you don't even have to send blanks!Just today, I listened to 5/6/89 and 5/4/42. Last night it was fall of 1970 and fall 1973. And I want all this great music to find good homes. I know most of us are digital collectors now, but if you are interested, email me at chip@chipwithrow.com. "Folk rock for groovin families!" myspace.com/chipwithrow chipwithrow.com

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

W.C.

Welcome, and if you're still having issues accessing messages, speak up. I sent you one just to see if it got through. Thank you and good luck in your quest!

GD Cassettes to a good Home

My good buddy and Grateful Dead fan (Jerry) passed away in February. He turned me on to all things GD. I am helping his wife dispense with the cassettes Jerry collected over the last 40-50 years, estimated at appx. 500. This collection is in Charlotte, NC and available to any Deadhead who would enjoy and take as good care of them as Jerry did. If you are seriously interested, let me know. (400 in wall rack + 100 on a shelf). Most are GD, -some Hot Tuna, Airplane mixed in. Hopefully folks can reply and I will see it. Thanks Rick. I have pics of the collection to share if that helps.

Hey there !

Hey there friend. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear friend and sending all of the love and light possible to you , his wife and loved ones. My name is Kolby and I’m a young head always looking for more tapes to love and baby. I found the dead at a young age and they’ve always been my wise confidants in my ears through my good and challenging times like so many of us. I’d love to hop on a call / a FaceTime call to get a better idea of what Jerry was like and how much these tapes meant to him. Thanks so much for the post as I’m sure it could’ve been a difficult thing to do. Thanks for your words

To BuckyJacket

Hoping to have a warm home to offer to these tapes. It would be my honor to chat! ( responding again because I’m figuring out how this works and hope you can see this ) Thanks again ,
Gratefully, Kolby

Home for Tapes

I am so sorry to hear about that Buckyjacket.
I am in Canada, so I am not sure how helpful I could be, but I would be thrilled to offer a good home to some of the tapes as well! I see Kolby also replied and may well be closer to NC, though.

A welcoming young home for some tapes

Being born in 2001 I never got the chance to be a taper, but after on a whim seeing dead and co in SF at Oracle a few years back while driving cross country to Oregon for college I fell in love with them. I look everywhere for tapes and besides online can’t find any. I would love the honor to hear some of these shows and feel the memories through the music if possible.

BuckyJacket

Bucky! I answered your similar comment on my post on Reddit - live in NC and can happily meet up! Hope you are doing well
