Recorded just a few months after the Live/Dead recordings, this terrific Dark Star shows the further evolution of the song after the Fillmore West gigs as the Dead transitioned into the Workingman's Dead/American Beauty era, while still easily playing primal music

    WAV files now

    So I am getting WAV lossless files now for 2,3,4. Hope day 1 upgrades to WAV soon. That would be fantastic! You will be able to change/edit all data to clean it up, but if you are using iTunes to do it, you will not be able to add the artwork. iTunes doesn't really like WAV files. But use something like JRiver which is fantastic, and you will be able to edit everything. Or even convert the files then to FLAC, ALAC, MP3 whatever you need for your use.

Has anyone determined if these wav files are of superior quality compared to the typical 30 Days mp3 files?

"look out, cause here comes some free advice..."

Reading all the gripes about quality, prizes, repeats or anything keeps me from wanting to read comments.
It reminds me of Bill Graham saying something like, "More More More...hang out and let the band decide" - ? Fillmore East April '70???

Many of the 30 days were shared in prior Novembers. Most of these 30 days releases have always been available in one place or another. Only time, research, bandwidth and Gigabytes stand in one's way.

IMO, listen and enjoy!!!

Since "dead freaks unite" in 'Skull & Roses", when they asked us to tell them who we are -- there's never been any band so connected to their audience. No doubt they tried to embody the ideals of the late 60's and put $$ behind the beliefs.

i appreciate these November morsels just as much as i did the 45 rpm freebies round records sent me in the 70's.

I aint preaching, more an old man's angst for the tomorrows big decision.

"Dead Freaks Unite" was on the first album
Skullf**k had "Dead Heads Unite"
Just sayin'

“Dead freaks unite” is from the Skull and Roses album. First album didn’t have any message.
