    Update: This week's Jam Of The Week

    (some) Thanks!
    The Features page now shows the current Taper's Section of top. That was (almost) fast! But Jam Of The Week????? Well, you still can't get there from here, as they say. My previous hint is now non-operational, because the link to the two-week stale jam is gone, meaning getting to that comment thread isn't easy anymore. But the gears are probably turning, somewhere...

    For site maintenance every week, week in, week out: Monday for Taper's Section, and... Friday for Jam Of The Week. This is by now a very regularly occurring problem -- the Features page isn't getting maintained properly. That seems to be the rule, not the exception. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't even mention it. XO

    Jam of the Weak Link
    Why can't we have a proper link to the current Jam of The Week? The audio for the Jam is up, but you can't get to it very easily. Hint: Visit the "Features" page, then look for the link for the Jam of the Week April 22 – April 28 [yes, a two-week stale link], scroll down the comments and you'll find that a helpful person, Ted, has posted a link to the current, May 6 - May 12 Jam -- it's a nice one, and worth hearing, from December 1972. But while you're at the Features page, you'll also notice that page has other problems: It still features last week's Taper's Section as its topmost item -- but that's stale too -- there is a new one today! Whatever, dead.net!

    Dick's Picks
    I really wish someone from Rhino or the GD team would update us on the future availability of the Dick's Picks titles on CD. I sent an email to customer service asking if any of the out of print titles would be coming back again. The response was for me to ask Rhino, so I sent an email to them. I never got a response. Why can't someone step up and give an answer? I know that others have tried to find out and they too cannot seem to get a straight answer. Some of the titles are selling for high prices on Ebay so why not repress them since the demand for these discs is pretty high. That's what's on my mind. Thanks!!

    I'm making my first foray into the realm of forums. I've trod to this digital backcountry of administation forums because this feels akin to shouting my surprise to the sky in faith that an echo of frustration will carry. I'm not posting under the lively banter concerning the Casey Jones download from Europe 72, although that link is where this began for me. I was feeling just edgy enough to think that choppy guitar riff from CJ would really scratch my itch when I saw this in my email inbox: Your Download To get your free download, Casey Jones 4/11/72 Newcastle, England, click the button.

    Death Letter Blues
    On this site, the lyrics and music to Death Letter Blues are credited to "Traditional." But this song was written and originally performed by Son House. The music and lyrics should both be credited to him. I'm certain that you will find this information easily documented online. Could one of the site ops let me know when they are ready to make this change? Thank you, Greg Tyler Allison Delta Blues and Grateful Dead Aficionado, Extraordinaire

Same here - a balmy 37 degrees last I checked. Better that than the cold, ice and snow we had the prior 10 days. Kind of a warm-up actually...we were having weather portentous of an early start to winter. The cold will be back though. More snow and I think I'll be strapping on the snow shoes.

and they sent my Dave's 23 to the wrong address. As soon as I got the shipment confirmation email, I called and emailed with my change of address and was assured over the phone that it would arrive at my new address. As it turns out, they shipped it to my old address and now I have to track it down somehow at my old apartment building. It was probably placed in my old mailbox which is likely now someone else's mailbox. I changed my address with the U.S. Post Office well over a month ago, but I guess when UPS delivers through the USPS (as indicated by the tracking history) they don't pick up your address change? I emailed customer service today again and they said basically, "Sorry, your shipment is too far along in the order process to change or add." Too far along in the order process? Really? Do you think so? Oh yeah, you've already shipped to the wrong address this last Friday after I informed you immediately of my address change. Customer service also stated that if the package is sent back to them, they'll then forward it to me. So now I have to depend on the kindness of strangers to get my numbered edition that has since sold out? Um, thanks. Remember when they would confirm your subscription address? Why did they stop doing that? I've bought so much stuff from this site over the years. I'm a totally Dead-icated fan. I think a little more care and respect is in order here. At least enough to get my subscription to the right address. Thanks for reading my rant. Peace.

That does seem to have gone out a bit overenthusiastically. All should be good if you're logged in and posting, but if I hear otherwise I'll post it.

Hey Now! Went to download today's Jam Of The Week and the tile is gone, did you remove this feature? If so can I put in a vote to bring it back? I have been collecting these since you started and don't want to stop now. Please reconsider as this is my favorite part of the site!

Shorter than a Government Shutdown I see that the Jam of the Week is back - I feel so much better now and wondered why I didn't be like Alfred E. Neumann and say What Me Worry? It's just that the tile was gone too! And back it is with over an hour of '73 Dead from the Kiel Auditorium. Thanks, love these jams and look forward to them every week.

Hello,

This might seem like an odd question, but have you ever reconsidered listing Allen Ginsberg's site in the Family Links section in light of his association with NAMBLA?

In case you don't know, NAMBLA is a pedophile advocacy organization that has spent decades trying to repeal the age of consent and enable its members to victimize children. I'm not smearing them; they identify themselves as pedophiles.

Ginsberg openly supported this group for years, claiming to do in defense of free speech. I'd like to think that nowadays, we can perceive how disingenuous that excuse is. There's nothing democratic, liberal, progressive or anti-authoritarian about the sexual abuse of the most vulnerable members of society. And while Ginsberg is gone now, NAMBLA is still around and still using Ginsberg's membership to legitimize their abusive agenda.

I realize that Ginsberg's art has been important to a lot of people, but does that mean we need to immortalize him in perpetuity? Many people close to me have been victimized by people like Ginsberg, and it saddens me to see him posthumously propped up by the Dead organization.

I've heard rumblings that the GD and Nike have come together to design a shoe. Will this shoe be available for purchase on the website?

I was wondering the same thing as I am not a member of any of those services. Maybe they could stream it or offer it on the site. Perhaps there's some $ getting in the way? That's my guess because it's usually what gets in the way.

Or what remnant of it remains, and I guess principle are what it's about for me marye. It's seeming more and more pathetic by the day though. Maybe I should just give in so I can get more focused ads. :-)

I guess the term free is just relative now. Or, it still is relative. Oh well, I guess I will just listen to the reports of how it sounds. Enjoy streaming public! It is cool that it exists and I am happy for those folks that are grooving to it! :-P

Are you going to make more of the Dave's Picks limited edition poster? I am disappointed that long-time annual subscribers weren't notified of this, I've bought every Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks since they started. I've had the annual subscription as long as they've been offered. Would love to get one and frame it for my listening room. Any chance of that happening? On the secondary market they're priced at ~$900. C'mon...

Want to know how to make your dead freak friend happy? Gift them a grateful dead mask with the Skull and Roses Bertha skeleton displayed prominently all over it. Or, just create one for yourself!

Have a Grateful Day and make yourself happy! Shout out to my friend Mike for the stylish face covering! :-)

P.S. Got all the boats! Proving once again, me no roboto.

Hi ! For the past few years I periodically fill out the " who are you where are you ...?" yet have never received a single email from this site . Ill assume it's not just me ? Is there a way to actually get email notifications ? Also I hope to see the Advent calendar again in 2021 :)

Check your spam/junk box for the emails.

When you buy something from this site check the box at the bottom of the form that you want to receive emails.

Many Thanks,

Highly disappointed NFA 2024
by Vibe315 on 8/14/24Sphere - Las Vegas
The dead changed my life. I’d like to start off there if it wasn’t for them I can’t say where I’d be today I grew up kicked out on the streets at 14 and at 15 I was brought to my first hometown festival. Interactions with people like Zach deputy and Ryan Montheblu, ( sorry if I butchered the last name) showed me there’s a different way one full of love and family and respect. So as the years have gone by I got to be blessed to see Bob Weir and Rat Dogg with the Almond Brothers and Phil Lesh and Friends, Further, Mickey Heart and the Heartbreakers and Even the Bill Kreitzmen trio. And etc…. They all taught me something new and I’ve loved em all. Last year I was blessed as one of the 1400 civilians to get tickets to the May 8th show at Cornell I thank you guys for changing my life in a positive way and I’m sad to see if this really is the end. I couldn’t make the two of the last three shows but I made that Last Saturday night and im looking foreward to what’s to come the music will never die. I will have to say I was dissapointed the way your staff treated me when I purchased the foil weekend poster two Ralph Steadman tees a neglagine bottle and the varsity jacket after the show. Your staff told us we were the last ones there and we need to leave the premises immediately there was no kindness from the people working the booths and your security was extremely rude. I’ll miss you guys but your letting ignorant people ruin everything you build I worked hard to earn the money I spent at your merch table and I wish I could of returned it. NFA 2024 Family for Life
