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...

30 Days of Dead 2015

I've been on a 4 weeks holiday, and when I came back I found out that I fortunately still could download all the 30 DoD songs from this year that were posted after I went on a holiday.Can anyone tell me if there is a list somewhere with info about the venues and dates of this years 30 DoD tracks? Thanks in advance, Marinus

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!

i am still having the same problem i was having before, i keep getting an error message telling me there is a problem with Scripts, and i have to shut down my browser to get in again I am using Firefox not IE Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

strange,,

well not like i would expect any thing to work as it should,,.. lol ,.. the chat room is showing hal r and sunshinedaydream on board but they are not showing to be logged in ,, and my name show twice in chat room ,,,....... strange days man ,, strange in deed ,,..

same as above

sunshine-daydream1951 ,, and hal R to be exact,, Where you two logged on at 4:00 am est. ? did`nt show logged in but in the chat room ,,....

just exactly perfect...

it's not! Just got a spectacular example of the mass exodus bug, only all the people bailing were Guests. Remains to be seen how that one's going to work out. But still, it kinda sorta works and it's good to have back. Stuman, yes, this is one of the areas known to be a bit surreal. For those just joining us, if you enter a chat room and suddenly 50 people leave the room, IT IS NOT YOU! It is a weird software issue. We're looking into it. Thank you.

misbehavior

the system keeps keeping me out take me to the jailhouse

did`nt think was me

Hey Marye , no i did`nt think it was me , i was just posting what had happened,, that`s all ,, i`am used to the strange things by now ,lol,, after all this is The Dead Zone,,lol,,,,anything is posible ,,,

Well... let's see if this

Well... let's see if this works... I've got to say I'm REALLY disappointed about the Dead's endorsement of Obama!!! http://seatourdelegates.com http://florida-delegates.com

seems to have worked...

but you might get more discussion if you posted in the Campaign 2008 or Dead Head for Obama topic, where you will find many who share your view and many who do not! A noble Deadhead tradition...

kicked out?

I was just kicked out of chat room for misbehaving.What is that about? At least let me misbehave before I get kicked out. Maybe I was thinking about misbehaving. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

kicked out?

Kicked out too :(

I was not misbehavin :(

I'm embarassed!

I just got kicked out of the chatroom for using the "a" word. The "a"word?! I was brought up on that word. Is it bad? Needless to say, I'm embarassed. Sorry to anyone that is offended by the word a**hole. I've read much worse in there. What are the rules?

thrown out

I was thrown out after I wrote the word cornsmoke and after that I was thrown out again with gratefulmom and buddy plant. Me bad. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

We were attacked

by guests last night I think they had something to do with us getting kicked out!!

Booted out

i feel left out i haven't been booted for misbehavin' it almost seems now the only people going to the chatroom are guests, there were 16 guests when i went in this morning Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

ok bob u am booted

ok my brother...by the power vested in me, u (bob) have now been officially booted from this forum for "misbehavin"...keep up the good work! stay safe and feel good > (~):-}

:-))))))

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

before we were booted out

We were trying to get the guests to speak but they didn't, they just watched us talk. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

ya know...

that's a very interesting data point, though who knows what's connected to what as far as all this misbehavior. I'm with Bob, I'm starting to feel left out because I clearly haven't misbehaved enough.

Script error

booted out with this again.it happened when a lot of guests signed in at once. Also i have been having problems with the lag that happened during the KPFA marathon Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Chat Room Observation

I will add ... that allowing Guest to enter the chat room is odd because it would seem to me that you would want folks to register before granting access to the chat room. But then again, do you want folks registering and then not using dead.net. I noticed that guests will appear and then after certain amount of time, the system does like a 'clean cycle', perhaps kicking folks that have been inactive for a certain time period. During this cycle, you will see your name as 'left the chat room' and then followed by 'has joined the chat room'.

chat room

I`ve been booted as soon as i singed in ? did`nt even have a chance to say anything. it`s the time space continuem thing , the flux capaciter is`nt working well..... you all have a Grateful Day !!

Yippee

i got booted for misbehavin' i said good afternoon to someone Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Like they say

No good deed goes unpunished Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Sunshine Daydream

Welcome aboard and glad you are now part of the misbehaving crowd. I got thrown out again last night. 3 times for me now. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

well...

so much for that theory... sorry, folks, guess it's just part of the adventure.

nice improvements

Hey Marye, How ya doin ? I noticed the new prompt for new PMs, and i also notice that you need to be logged in to get into chat room ,, thats cool ! also noticed we got some new members now ,, also cool !! I still get kicked out of chat for misbehavin , but whatever..and i still can`t hear any tapers starting from the new year .. but hey still glad to be here .. Have a Grate Day !! And thank everyone else working to improve this place !!!

Got kicked out too

for the rude remark of asking whether anyone was there, and whether chat room was working-********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

what a tease

oh like it aint bad enough i can`t listen to tapers section, now i get teased with the Winterland listening party ... Ain`t no party for me..... I can`t hear it .....peace everyone...

What exactly constitutes "misbehaving"?

Can someone tell me specifically what transgressions I seem to be committing? Did I smile on a cloudy day? I know that they'll get it all worked out one day. I think it's grate that they are trying... Thank you whoever owns this site!!

you're probably not transgressing at all

something about the software seems to like messing with people. There's probably a Deadhead moral here, but...

Greetings

from the newest member of the misbehaver's club. I went to the room, and I was the only person listed. The two other names came up. So I posted "Oh boy! More names in the list." I guess that was too sarcastic for Mr. Server. He's one strict taskmaster! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

think of it

as that Chinese place in SF that was a big tourist attraction solely because one of the waiters was a true artist at showering customers with abuse. Or maybe as that Monty Python bit about insults.

Silly English Kanigits

Well, I went away, but when I came back it didn't taunt me a second time... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Re:think of it

I think the place you're referring to was called Sam Wo's. The waiter's name was Edsel Wong, and the 'chow fun' (a rice noodle dish) there was/is the best in the city. I haven't been there in a while though... I saw the place roasted on Conan's show when he was broadcasting from S.F. a few years ago...

Black Listed & Booted out!

Misbeahaving for saying Its the First Day of Spring!! Hells Bells!

now THAT

is over the top! Happy spring everybody!

Have a couple of questions

Sometimes when I enter the chat room, the type of the ongoing conversation is grey-very faint, and sometimes is black like here in the threads. Does anybody know why this is? Also people seem to be signed into chatroom who are not there-for example I logged out about an hour ago, logged back in-checked the chatroom, and am no showing as visiting there twice. Again anybody know why? And last question is that when I type a message when type is grey-is this visible to the others, as I can see my words in red, but nobody answers.********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

Grey Type Syndrome

I think that this happens when a certain amount of time has passed since anyone has posted anything new to the chat. It may also be a clue that there really isn't anyone else there, despite who's listed. Likewise, posts from other users appearing in black are probably relatively recent. Anything that you post should be able to be seen by anyone else who goes there. I believe that each user's posts appear in red only to them. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Ah HA

Just noticed that "misbehaving" also can mean being quiet for too long. Got kicked out twice when I went to the restroom-so must be some sort of timer thing.********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

ah what ?

I know the chat room was it`s strange querks, but wow i`ve been kicked out 8 times in like 20 minutes. I guise misbehavin is also saying good morning to everyone ... very strange place ....i hope it can be repaired soon, it would be nice to chat without getting the boot .. every two minutes .. Peace everyone !!!!

phew

the chatroom is becoming a bit of test of patience right now. Its just me and the dog for the next 3 weeks and its fun to keep an eye out for buddies in the chat room while working on reports and such. but You get kicked if you do not post every 2 minutes or so (but cheeky experiments today show that you can cuss as much as you like :-)...(you know who you are ;-)...) Also no one knows who is in the chatroom without going there so we all keep missing each other..but cannot stay in there without being booted. Any chance of a 'who's in the chat room' list in the sidebar or even better a pop up window so we can chat and do other stuff too? How that happens is way beyond my tech understanding so I have no idea if such things are feasible and practical. But if they are then it would be nice ...

good points

I have passed them on.

time lag

i just had a 12 minute timelag it was intersting answering posts and then waitin 12 minutes for them to appear. it was fine one minute then someone logged on and bang time lag Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=633338979 Spanish Jam

Badger has made some good wishes

second them. Has been kinda frustrating-some of us spent parts of last weekend having a conversation after the other guys were already offline-as we kept missing each other, due to slow posts, or the "in the chatroom" list not showing accurately who had actually already exited the chat room, or other such wacky things.********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live. Samuel Clemens

chat room chalenge

oh man oh man ,,... what on earth is going on here ???? this morning i got kicked to the kurb more times then i could count ,,...clik on chat rm, it opens then immediatly i get kicked out ,,. or some enters or leaves the chat and we all get the boot ,,.. very frustrating !! a true chalenge to chat with freinds ,,.. I start to wright a message and get the boot with out even finishing me comment ,...I guise we can only hope that it can be repaired ,,... or maybe we should just pm each other ,, and the slow post`s that makes it very dificult to... Lets all attemp to think happy thoughts !! the frustration is not doing us any good... "let their be songs to fill the air" peace .... Hope everyone has a Grate Day !!!

bummer, stuman...

sorry for the aggravation. The thing is a work in progress, that's for sure.

certainly seems not to be working now!

I've reported it...
