    Lost Tracks For Dick's Picks 24?
    Hey everyone, i was just listening to dicks picks 24, and i was looking online somewhere and saw that there are a few classic songs that someone decided not to include in the official cd release. Some of the songs are El Paso, Ship of Fools, etc. I was just wondering if anyone had a tape or some other media that i could get a copy of that had the whole show or missing tracks off of it. Its the 3/23/74 show at the Cow Palace, the debut of the wall of sound. I'd just really like to hear those missing tracks, so if anyone could help me out i'd be estactic. thanks, peace.

    Wake of the flood
    Came home from a vacation and found our water heater had rusted out and hence my racks of tapes were all in jepordy from the laughing water. I lost one show from 95 and a couple Santana shows but my biggest loss was the rack holding my GD shows from 88-90. They went swimming. :( I traded tapes from 87-97 and never got into the digital realm. I had over 1200 tapes which is now 100+ tapes less. I've since started a family and have no time to trade. If you have CDs of any GD show from from 88-90 and would consider working something out, please let me know. Eric

    RE: Alpine 86 and 87
    I also have never seen any 1987 Alpine soundboards circulate and have only seen 6/28/86 set 1 as a soundboard which I have had on cassette from years ago though no less than a 4th or 5th generation. To me these seem like The Holy Grail of Grateful Dead recordings coming from one of the most popular venues during the one of the most popular eras. Someone somewhere is sitting on great copies or masters of these shows and they seem to remain mysteriously uncirculated. Here are the setlists. 06-28-86 Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wi. (Sat) 1: Bucket, Ramble On, C. C. Rider, Row Jimmy, BIODTL> Touch, L. L. Rain, Don't Ease 2: Playin> Uncle John> Drumz> China Doll> Playin> GDTRFB> Lovelight E: Saturday Night> Baby Blue 06-29-86 Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wi. (Sun) 1: Half Step> Franklin's> Dancin, B. E. Women, Minglewood, Tom Thumb Blues, Stagger Lee, Samson 2: Shakedown, Estimated> Eyes> Drumz> Other One> Wharf Rat> Throwing Stones> NFA E: NFA> U. S. Blues 06-26-87 Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wi. (Fri) 1: Stranger> Franklin's, Walking Blues, Row Jimmy, Tons Of Steel, Push, Cassidy, Deal 2: China Cat> I Know You Rider, Estimated> Eyes> Drumz> Gimme Some Lovin> Wheel> Watchtower> Black Peter> Around> Sugar Magnolia E: Touch 06-27-87 Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, Wi.

    Alpine 1987
    Been collecting shows for 25 years. I've never seen soundboards of Alpine Valley 1986 or 1987. Making the switch over to CD is not that difficult. I had to leave behind over 1000 cassettes in a storage facility in Lancaster, California a few years ago. I've easily amassed that many shows on CD in that time, and they're all better quality than I would have gotten if I'd converted my own cassettes to CD. There is a VERY devoted group of folks that are converting the best quality recordings of shows to CD. You can find the results of their efforts at various downlaod sites, such as bt.etree.org and www.shnflac.net. Excellent quality audience recordings can still be downloaded at www.archive.org. As with anything worthwhile, it's worth the effort to grow and learn something new. By embracing the downloading process and sile sharing over the internet via bit-torrent, I've acquired more music than I could have ever amassed when trading via snail mail in the 80's. I haven't shut the door on trading via snail mail, but the internet has opened a lot of doors. Hope everybody is well! Sean K.

@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,

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
