    Weird Ritual Surfacing: 1979-02-07 SIU Arena
    So I have this thing I do for my friends and family. On their birthday, I make them a CD of the Grateful Dead show that happened on the day of their birth and give it to them. It's kind of a cheap way of getting out of "buying" something, but it's my way of spreading the vibes and trying to share some Dead love. Obviously, I can only do this once, or I'd be giving the same gift to everyone every year. It's worked pretty well, and I've even converted some folks to the family. I've been able to find shows for almost everyone, that is, except myself. I was born on February 7th, 1979, the night of the notorious Carbondale show in Illinois where Jerry "supposedly" had a bad reaction to Valium. Archive.org has this show available for streaming, but that's it. If anyone has a copy of this show, I'd appreciate it. I'll foot the shipping or whatever. I know this isn't the best sounding show, but I'd like to have it anyway. Peace, Caleb “Let there be songs to fill the air.”

    Tribute to my Sister's Death after Grateful Dead Concert
    Hello, I do not want to ruin everything, but I had a sister than went to this concert when I was 6 years old and a drunk driver killed her after this show. This was the last time any of my family would see her. I was hoping you or someone else had a copy of Grateful Dead Live at Deer Creek Music Center on 1990-07-18 in good quality or anything from that show would mean a lot to me. Email me back at indyrdc@yahoo.com Thanks

    I'm sure you'll find many kind souls to help you out, but I would be remiss if I did not point out that the Vineyard was just made for folks in your situation. All you have to do is sign up and be willing/able to copy the CD/DVD and send it on to the next person in good time. Head on over there!

    Free Tapes "Part 3"
    Last summer I posted "part 1" and no one locally got back to me..... Last Winter (around xmas I think) I put "part 2" on here. I got a couple folks interested my tapes. I have given away close to 400 tapes from 65-85. I still have close to 500 tapes from 91-95 if you want them and your in the Portland/Seattle area, come and get em!! Otherwise I have found that I can send flat rate boxes with 60 tapes (possibly more with out the cases) in them for under $9. If your out of the area and want them let me know!! I want to share and they are just collecting dust. - Peace Eric

@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,
WH

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.

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.

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,
Jon

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

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 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

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

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.

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.

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