What Happened To "Shows By Year?"
It's still in the menu but all it is, is (homage to Bubba Clinton) a list of every show's date with the venue below and a link to "details". Wasn't it once a list of links to each indvidual year? As it is now you have to page through every show to find the year you want. So, if you're lookin' for 1972, first you have to find what page 72 starts on by using the process of elimination and once you find it see which page of shows from 72 has your date. Is that clear?
A simpler explanation: "Shows By Year" is the same thing as the "All Shows" only with 3 lines as opposed to 1line on "All Shows.".
1 day closer to springtime!!
Survey
Hi,I wanted to know if I could post a survey on the message boards to try and get some market validation.
Here is the link to the survey- http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DTWG9NC
please let me know- thank you!
well, normally this site isn't for third-party
commercial purposes, but I'd suggest that if you want to post a marketing survey you post in in the Your Own Storefront topic in the forums, which is the designated area for hawking one's wares.
I Miss the (Previously Excellent) Show by Year Category!
I see that at least one person posted earlier about the Show By Year problem ... um, couldja fix it already? The Show by Year on Deadnet is (or was) a great resource -- very user friendly, easy to search, a great quick "go-to" reference. But now, unless you're looking up, oh, '66 or '67, it's a serious pain. Not even really usable unless you feel like playing Click-on-a-Page Roulette. It's got to be a glitch, and not an intentional "Improvement" (I hope I hope), so I have the feeling that some techie at Deadnet WOULD know how to put it back, if someone would just ask nicely. So, pretty please? :-)
survey simian
I'd just love to help you gather your info so you can make some serious bucks off of us! How much do you pay, anyways? Surely you'd at least donate something to the webmasters of this site - or you could go away....
Why can't a start a new post on the forums?
I wanted to ask on the forum which tooth bertha is missing and it won't let me post.
You can't start new topics
but if you go to the In Search of Info topic and ask that question in the comment thread, it should work just fine...
What IS IT with the Grateful Dead?
I just clicked on the almanac and went to comics and saw the images coming from Hunter's "Rosemary". Ye Gods! That was not funny. I'd never really listened to those lyrics before and even as I listened to the song (they have that feature now) the lyrics were hard to make out.
If the Grateful Dead were really singing songs for those who have passed away (with Hunter & Barlow making up the words) then they were also riffing on ghosts, as Rosemary seemed to be some watery image from a goth H.P. Lovecraft novel.
It's still sending shivers up and down my spine. Yikes, this might be enough to scare me away forever!
Why can't a start a new post on the forums?
Why can't a start a new post on the forums?
because it would be chaos and we decided not to set it up
that way.
We have topics for a lot of likely categories in which you are welcome to post questions, comments, etc. If you have something to say or ask that doesn't seem to fit, or would like to have a new topic started, send me a PM. Thanks.
or alternatively
just go to the What Else Should We Be Talking About? topic and post there.
Or do what's currently happening in the Deadheads, Religion and Spirituality topic, start brainstorming a secular version with folks who think there's a need for one, and when it jells we'll launch it.
Whom made this artwork originally on my profile photo please?

All the Years Combined
I just tried to order the dvd box set and my browser says the Shout! Factory site is not secure. Seems a little strange. Is it safe to order??
Jack Ellis
I am trying to locate Jack Ellis and his wife. If anyone knows how to reach him please let me know or let him know someone is looking for him. Close friend passed away.
Not able to order from the store
I am not able to order from the store using different my name or my wife's name and using different credit cards. Yesterday was a one day special on Road Trips with free shipping and you guys missed out on $100 order.
That is ridiculous. I can see that Rhino is still screwing up royally on milking this cash cow.

send me a PM with the details and I'll see if we can fix this.

Could we please get a newspaper thread?For "news" about any topic,
good, bad or strange. But news that
was read in a newspaper and the link to
the article is a must so you can go read it
if you like.
Could we get a GD family concert thread?
A place to post any state or county live
music.
Just asking. Thank you.
how is the newspaper thread
different from the current events thread? just need a little clarification here...
Okay
We will try those threads:

Where can I get..
I'm not sure this is the right forum to ask but maybe you can steer me to the right place? I have a cassette, " Greatful Dead, Dead Set" on Arista from around 1981. It's a 2 album recording with some of my favorite tracks like Samson & Delilah, Brokedown Palace etc. It's worn out and I'd like to get it on cd. Anyone know where I can order it? Thanks..
Still not received my DP Vol. 1
I subscribed on the very first day Dave's Picks was advertised back in October, but I still have not received vol. 1.
Two calls to customer service led to a replacement being sent (on 23 March I was told - I never got an email confirmation); however this one has still not made it to Europe. All of my previous orders with dead.net arrived within 15 days. I am particularly concerned, and posting this plea here, as DP1 is now sold out and DP 2 will be shipping soon.
Marye, can you please help? Thanks.
On the bus
send me a PM with the details and I'll see what I can do.
photos of fans
Hi - is there a section on this site where we can upload photos of fans from shows? I have lost touch with many tour friends over the years and would love to share old photos. :) -Angela
Yo, joe dimaggio! (YC747)
If the dead.net store doesn't have it (and I assume that is why you posted here, otherwise look there and support the band) then go to Amazon which has 8 left in stock.
I love Deadset also. It rocks. Also, Reckoning is the pick for choice acoustics from this run.
fan photos
On the community page there's a feature for uploading fan photos, and we THINK that it's working properly now after much drama, so give it a try...
Hide gazillion "product" threads
Is there a way I can hide the product threads? It's bothering me to have to wade through so many of them to find the threads I want to read. OR how about one catalog thread-showing all of the products in there.
I guess they are what fund this site, but...to me it feels like the community feeling is tipping over into sales only.
How about even being able to examine the product that
you might be interested in purchasing, INSTEAD of a mini billboard of a 'related product' obscuring the view (picture) of what you might be wanting to buy.
This is a bizarre way to try and sell stuff. To hide what you want the customer to see, behind a picture of group of 'related products'. Or the even more strange when you hide the product the customer wants to see behind a BLANK 'related product' cutain which obscures the product the customer was attempting to view.
So the idea is that every purchase should a mystery (grab bag?) at the GD store?

Anniversary!
Are there going to be any special events marking the 5th Anniversary of the new deadnet? I think there should be!
I wonder if Marye can be persuaded to write a piece for us on her experiences as our heroic moderator over the years. I am sure there are many untold stories she can share with us (amended to protect the innocent and guilty of course). How about it Marye :-)
2nd that Badger!!
Would be cool to read such a thing from marye. Might also help re-spark interest in this site, 'cuz at least I am loosing it.
jam of the week, GDhour, Taper'sSection
is jam of the week discontinued? there is a post for this week, though it comes up as page not found just like last week...I will wait & see what happens. The mic on GDHour does not show when I try to share GDHour 760; & we all know the GDHour ONTHEAIR mic makes the post look great. The same problem has come up with taper's section quite often, maybe because multiple thumbs have been offered...I dunno'.
Jam of the Week
for today is here--maybe it hadn't been posted yet?
now as to your question about sharing
you mean on Facebook etc? Please clarify. This may or may not be something we have any control over, unfortunately.
just checking
this is a test, as I've had a report of people being unable to access this topic, and it's coming up fine for me...
