Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

I have an idea for an art project and I am wondering where is the best place to ask for tape covers with hand written set lists and / or cool drawings that aren't being used. I would 100% pay for shipping.

Rock on!

Had all his Dead tapes. Even mentioned what he paid. I thought Dave was gonna ......
“John we’re getting you trained in our ways, but your not quite there yet”. I jest.

It was always frowned on to sell the tapes, to put it no more strongly. However, Jerry's been gone these 25 years, and a lot of once-precious tape collections, by inheritance or general attrition, have ended up in the hands of people who aren't in Deadhead culture and can't reasonably be expected to operate based on it. I'm more startled that she found someone to pay money for it, given how often Heads are offering up their tapes for free after they've gone digital, and on this very site too.

Is there a policy against selling tapes? I have seen a couple of collections show up on CL and this week there is an extensive collection in an estate sale in Massachusetts.
I contacted the CL person and asked them not to sell but to offer up as free. They were nice and had some rosy BS to say about her parents giving her the tapes but she didnt want any more and was selling them. Alas, she did.
Being of the trading era i think its wrong to sell them and there may be an official dead policy or a place to report?

I suggest that you get hooked up with a bit torrent client. This will allow you to download shows from bit torrent sites, such as bt.etree.org.

You can contact me at cb.bandrofcheck@comcast.net and I will guide you through the process of setting up.

I had a sweet collection and gave them away in the early 90s 😢
I would love any and all tapes, will gladly pay postage, I also have an extensive digital collection and would be glad to burn cds to trade

Looking for any and all tapes in the form of CDs! Would be willing to pay for postage.

I wish I could help you answer that question. I wasn't listening during that day and I live in upstate NY, or I would be happy to help if I could :/

Hello,

I would be very grateful and blessed if you still have some of the 2000+ tapes you mentioned. I can help with shipping and handling. I own a few shows, but no actual tapes yet.

This would mean a lot to me. My name is Jeremiah and I am from upstate NY.

I look forward to speaking with you and seeing if you even have one or two, to help me start my tape journey :)

Thank You - With Love,

Jeremiah
