Alpine Valley

How about a box set of Alpine Valley??? So many good shows, that was the place in the Midwest during the 80s you didn’t want to miss

Suggestion for a Dave's Pick (More 80s Dead, please)

Been digging through Archive.org and saw a show I remember from the good ol' days of cassettes. October 10, 1982 Frost Amphitheatre show. A lot of good songs on there well performed. Might make for a good official release from Dave?
To that end, how about more shows from the 1980s. Love the 70s picks, but I cut my teeth on mid to late 80s dead and would love to hear some crispy 1980s shows...

Just throwin' it out there!

http://www.dead.net/show/july-4-1987 & Bob Dylan

http://www.dead.net/show/july-4-1987 & Bob Dylan I know the setlist mentions his last name as having helped with the sound check, as well as his singular voice when he starts singing, but I think that “Guest Vocalist” or “Guest Appearance”, or some such statement at the first of the “Notes” section would be much more helpful than making us deduce for ourselves his presence. Not to mention the absolute absence of his first name. We wouldn't want anyone to assume y'all are trying to make us believe Dylan Ryder sat in with The band (Dylan Thomas (though I guess he could have 'attended' had his casket been exhumed)). Sorry. The places my mind goes...

Thanks in advance, Marinus

yes

the tech folks spent a lot of time on this to make sure it worked right. So far it seems to be pretty stable, which is a big plus!

Chatroom

great idea Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

just tried

seems straight forward - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Grate idea!!

It good to chat, then wait for pm's!! :)

Cool!

What should we chat about?Good to see the pictures are back!

booted out the chatroom by robomoderator

I just asked Mr Pid the following question 'You at work?' instantly the chatroom window went blank and I got this message 'You have been kicked out. Further abuse will result in permanent banning.' had to log back into the chatroom. Promise not to mention work again!

Work is a four letter word

I hope Badger's experience wasn't because of anything I said. I did respond to the question, even though it was just to say I had to go, because of that dreaded four letter word... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

well, badger...

that's very strange, and not the first report I've seen of strange deployment of kicked-out tools. I'm gonna report this. Thanks.

the funny thing is...

I see your conversation just fine. Weird!

Where did it go??

Chat room has disappeared!!

whoa!

I have no idea, but Inquiries Are Being Made. Perhaps the poor thing has collapsed from the strain of the marathon...

here's the word

It's been taken offline for the moment to see if it's related to some technical problems elsewhere on the site, it being one of relatively few new things that may have been a factor. More as I know it...

Thanks Mayre!!

For checking it out!!

Chat Room

I dig the chat room but every time I go there I'm lost in space, not a single soul to be found. Frown.

..searchin...

the chat room's down, so let me use this forum. first off, I am new at this on-line stuff and since my work just gave me a lovely Macbook, I feel the need to sit in bed and use it. I am searching for some specific older shows from my way back machine days. My tapes are shot and I have no where else to turn (heavy sigh). Anyone have a decent copy of Penn State 1980? It's my favorite China-Rider. My tape wasn't great and had my friend constantly looking for a lighter or bumping into the mike stand.... Anybody have a copy?

Lonely

i think we all had problems being alone there from time to time Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

where did it go?

Bring it back soon, please and thank you. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Ami

Try the looking for stuff forum, or keep searching all the forums and posting on them, someone is bound to help you out!! PS Welcome!!

Hey Ami

Check out Internet Archive.... Grateful Dead Live at Rec Hall, Penn State U on 1980-05-06 you can download the show from there!! Not sure if its the right show or not but check it out!! It's a smokin Chinacat! *Peace, Gigi*

intrepid dead.net tech team

is trying to figure out what's causing assorted technological misbehavior, which may or may not ultimately have anything to do with the chat room but experiments are in progress. Your distress is duly noted!

PS

Internet.archive is an awesome site, see I knew someone would help you out!! You'll be able to download almost any show you want. Give it a try.

Chat Room?

When is going to be up and running?

the site

Is kind of losing energy, it has been a grate place. And I guess things will ebb and flow and come and go. I miss What Happened on This Day In Deadhead History? and the chatroom.Hope everyone is having a fine weekend. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

losing energy?

well in a way I feel the same, but then there do seem to be a whole lot of new folks appearing here too which is great to see...we used to be a little gang and now we are a big community here which must be good...but I think that is showing up some weaknesses in the site design..it is getting harder and harder to keep up and still very slow to explore a forum....maybe a shake up would shake us up too. The chat room was a really welcome addition.though may it come back soon!

yeah...

I think it's safe to say that a lot of technical issues are being scrutinized, especially as things like listening parties and chat rooms get added to the mix. I share your pain about the system performance issues; I trust that they are temporary, but I understand the aggravation. It's always something! Thank you for your patience...

I asked and then I pleaded, then it was there but now it is gone

Ixtlanvet thinks it's just bad timing...I just really want a certain tape. [really]

hm...

and the tape trading topics aren't doing it for you?

When will it return?

i was wonderin' Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Looking forward

I am looking forward to re-introduction of the Chat Room. Think of it like this, there were many songs that the band stopped playing, but they came back. Dark Star (7/13/84 to 10/8/89), Black Throated Wind ('74 to '90), Casey Jones (84 to 92), Loose Lucy (74 to 90), etc. Just like the songs continue playing ... Ok lost my train of thought on this ... All good things, in all good time.

Still no news?

then Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

I miss the chatroom

sorry, posted to soon. I enjoy getting in touch with heads all around. Immediate satisfaction is something that chatrooms give. A good conversation was also one of the reasons I loved the shows. The chat, kind of resembles the lots...etc.

I will make some inquiries

I would expect that everyone's spread a little thin, but I'll see if I can get a status update.

It still says that it's down

Am I missing something? 'Cause I'd love to participate.

your day job

thanx to all those involved technically and otherwise keeping this forum and entire website up and operational....ur efforts are appreciated very much! as for the chat room...it was/is a GRATE idea and hope it's back online soon. stay safe and feel good! >><<<< :>

I miss it too!

I liked the chat room, hope it's up and running soon!Peace

Is it really back?

Like, for good? Or is it just a test? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I have heard...

it's back! Though no one seemed to be at home when I looked in a minute ago.

Help

I am having trouble finding a link to subscribe to the almanac. Any help is much appreciated.Nothing left to do but Smile, Smile, Smile.

This is what I get

when I enter chatroom...The page you requested does not exist. For your convenience, a search was performed using the query chatrooms chat 9.

CHATROOM

I liked it too even though everytime I went there It was an empty house! Keep it going!

re:This is what I get

yup, me too... i thought they just were keeping me out...

looking for a friend

does anyone know danita murray? she was looking for me but didn't leave a number!

re:This is what I get

Back in Now

it works Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

it`s back

nice to see the chat room is back up running ..hope it lasts ,, I enjoy talking to other folks while listening to what i can ,,...

Guest-176?

Is it OK to allow anonymous guests in the Chat Room? Not sure.

Anonymous chat access

I share cosmicbadger's concern for potential problems here, but have somewhat mixed emotions. We were always free to attempt to strike up random conversations in the lot or the show without identifying ourselves, and while the chatroom context is similar (to me,) it does lack the physical proximity/available security dimension of an in person encounter. Perhaps a solution might be to require that a virtual token be delivered via email and re-presented to the site for anyone desiring to post in the chatroom anonymously. That would create some semblance of accountability at least. It's hard to imagine any possible problem caused by someone who merely wanted to eavesdrop, but not actively participate. It's not like there can be any assumption of privacy in what is effectively a public space. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
