Tapes

Some of them should have the lineage on the J-card somewhere,Its the taping info like.
Neumann KM-184 > MP-2 > Edirol R-05 This is the rig I run.. This means if you dont know. Mic's are always first. Meaning Im running Nuemann KM-184 mics... Then if your rumming a preamp or ay other gear Im Running a Sound Device MP-2 Moic Preamp... Then lastly My deck whih is a Edirol R-05. There maybe other info in lineage too. My previous rig was Sennheiser K6-ME64 > MP-2 > TCD-D10 ProII....Tapes usually have what Gen. they are.. Like 1st gen SBD or 3rd en aud..Tjis means how may they are from the master recording..

Old Deadhead will make a new home for tapes that need one...

Hello fellow Deadheads! My most fervent hope is that you are all safe and healthy and happy! I've never posted to this site yet, but was prompted by the June Bulletin and here we go! I was 17 when I first saw the Dead and now, many shows and nearly 50 years later, I still remember that first show like it was yesterday. I would always stand next to the tapers section (because I figured they knew what they were doing and would be set up in the sweet spot) but never taped a show myself. However I sit here with my trusty old Aiwa deck that still works and its a day before my birthday and I see on this forum all the time that people need to find new homes for tapes from time to time and after seeing the June Bulletin I got the idea to finally post on here and let you all know that if you are looking for a new and safe home for any of your tapes for what ever reason, that I would promise to care, restore if needed, cherish and keep them safe. I would never, ever sell them, for what magic they would be to me! Why this old man would have to kick up the dirt and dance a little every day! I know I can stream and download this music elsewhere, but those of you who have owned these tapes know that there is a certain magic feeling about being able to see and touch and feel the music and to put it in your own tape machine and let it play and play.
Call me beggar, call me Jawa, call me leech, for all of these might be apt, but I would be proud to carry on your legacy in any tapes that find their way to me for as long as I am on this side of the dirt...

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.

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.

Tapes - Trade?

Hey now - I still have a bunch of my old tapes. I might be interested in trading for some cool blown glass item or ?

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks,

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
