Tapes for a new home

@Deadhead1974, If you still have tapes available, I'm happy to pay for shipping. I'd be more than happy to give some of your tapes a new home.
Best,

I have tapes

So…if you’re still interested, I have a box of 64 tapes ready to ship after culling the herd. All Dead, mostly 80’s. I’ll even pay postage, just want to see them go to a good home. 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.

free tapes

my advise for you Billy, register to different dead related websites, and keep your eyes open. people transfer their shows to different formats and usually give away their tapes to a good home. check craigslist regularly. and if you're lucky here is one link for you,good luck :) http://www.furthur.net/forum/general-discussion/334542-free-cassettes

Do people still trade tapes?

Not sure if tape trading is very active these days. Most of the better tapes have made their way to the Grateful Dead archives being digitized into FLAC's Oggs and MP3 VBR files. https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

never played collection of tapes

Hi,I just ran across a large collection of unplayed second generation dead tapes. my neighbor just collects things. he is not a fan of the dead but copied someones tape collection and then put them away and never played them. 119 cassette tapes he say's he copied from a guy that new the deads soundman. I have no idea what he has. the first tape I checked out is labeled shrine 11-09-1967 and is an excellent recording, sounds like a soundboard (I don't hear the audience). after looking on the internet I am confused. the dead.net site says they never played on that date. the internet archive has 7 songs from the next day 11-10-67. the first song on one side (not labeled with side one or two) is "the other one" and is not the version listed as unknown source on the internet archive from 11-10-67. so I have no idea what he has, or how to go about even figuring it out. but they are all unplayed so I thought they might be of interest to the community. let me know if this might be of any interest to anyone. thanks, clint bush I don't visit forums often so if interested just email me directly TennesseeJed12345@att.net

steph

even if the most recent batch has been taken, stick around, because now that folks know you're looking they can keep you in mind for future stuff too. Meanwhile, if you're set up to copy CDs and DVDs, look into the Vineyard, which has an amazing range of stuff from all eras. You sign up, copy the disc when it arrives, and send it to the next person on the list.
