    it's not ok !
    it's not ok that a couple people, not entitled to do so by deadnet management ,register all the scripts of each word said at chatroom . it's not ok that one of these people feels also entitled to threatened to disrupt our computers with a virus at chat because someone's opinion is not approved by a bully . it's not ok to slander spitefully for a cheap thrill at other's expense . it's not ok to spy on other's conversations due to lack of respect and ill manners towards others , and then warp what was said to propagate needless strife among others . But , methinks, we shouldn't let that run us off chatroom and lat bullies win ! So good people , do take a stand and join us again at chat !

    Please don't go Badger! Would miss your wit and interesting travel tales like hell! Are a handful of us trying hard to get the old vibe back, a place for warm, intelligent conversation. If our old-timer friends desert us, how can we manage this?? ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

    ...oh,how right you are Badger!!!!In fact there are moments on the chat when you have the feeling that instead of bein on dead-net,you hang around in a prison yard with strange laws,Bullies eager to jump on you for whatever comment one dares to do and those ganglike codes [..like strkyep,krkbe etc.;)!!!]which make you feel very strange.Oh,and to stay with your post-i am pretty sure that there ARE people there who God only knows how,able to manipulate the whole chat.Marye,i have seen and experienced it that i came into the chat with 2 people hangin around,and beside '' hallo'',i could not send away a single letter,with them 2 guys havin Big fun that the chat seems to have ''hickups'',so they where aware of the problem i had.How?Did they see my comments which did not appear on the screen?Is there a kind of electronic trap between the chatter and the chat-room?..or is it just like badger says that some folks have found other routes in...wow,pretty scary if you add the guy who claims to have all the chats on record.Anyhow,peace to all who enjoy the chat as a nice meeting place,but it for sure aint safe...

    apologies
    to all the nice, honest open people who still use the chatroom. I was really angry when I posted last night and I should have mentioned that a lot of good folks are there whose company I enjoy a lot. But it creeps me out that a) one person is apparently logged on there almost 24/7 and hardly ever never says anything. b) the names of some people in the chatroom do not appear on the lists of online users at the time (that includes the person logged in 24/7) c) Someone is claiming to be logging the entire record and is using that as a means to threaten people. If that is true, then it is quite sinister. If that person is bullshitting then that is just sick. It would be useful Marye if it could be discovered if people have 'cracked' the CR and are getting in through other routes. Thanks. I am really not sure how secure gagalive is. If course one has to accept that it is an open space and not everyone will click and see eye to eye, but it is all too weird for me these days. Its a shame cos it sure brightens up lonely nights in hotels in strange cities and there have been some great sessions (even recently) It would be good to have an 'is it safe to go in the chatroom right now' function somehow :-)

    The last time
    I was in this chatroom (which I admit was a long time ago) I felt like I was hanging out with gang-bangers at a rap concert. I had to quickly check to make sure I was still in fact on dead.net.

    Ever since the gagalive thing happened . I would love to be able to chat with Dead.net members here . but it always seems like there is more people that I do not know in the chatroom then our own Dead.net members . It`s kinda sad. Bring back the old chatroom and I`ll use it .

    I used to go there a bit
    but it has seemed to have really gotten very juvenile, not funny. At times I have hit it right. I like to go there when I see certain people are there. Really had some great conversations there last year and before and as recently as several weeks ago. But usually will stay far away. There are certain topics on this site that attract certain groups of people each kind of taking on its own personality. I guess chat room is like that too. Kind of like a great bar that you used to hang out at and has slid downhill and now avoid and only visit to see if any of the old crowd might be doing the same. .

    ...agree with Badger. It appears rather voyeuristic. Hmmm, being fast w/the keyboard and getting your mental jollies? I dunno. Doesn't seem intelligent at all, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a place for people who want a cheap thrill. Sort of like hippie crack?

    I'm not sure there's a practical way to fix this, but you're not the only one with this issue. I'll see if there's anything to be done.

hey frankly, i had to search to find any coverage, all small back page articles, except for "WIRED" which had a few stories and video feeds from cell phones at the demostrations, but the torch run was a prank on the masses and took the path less traveled away from news coverage. wonder what kind of deal the chinese govt. made, less lead paint in products made in china?

... the chinese gov't got exactly what they wanted, they got video of smiling people waving flags and no protesters anywhere in sight to mar their video feeds back home. i hope that after the olympic games are over, people won't forget....

On one level, it could reasonably be said that the city did a brilliant job of keeping people from getting hurt, and there's a real sense that that's what cities should do. And on the other hand, yeesh. Wotta mess.

checking in to see what's going on ... wow, up to 13 pages in three days. It has taken me some time to read through all the chatter. There seems to be some chatter bugs (figuratively and literally and no punn intended). miss the real time conversations and can't wait until it's back up. I hope it is spectular, not to raise the expectations of returning to a flawless chat room. everyone have good weekend. sorry Chris, I can only get through about 1/4 of the French, something about the chat being difficult and thanks, otherwise I would respond much better. I have a hard enough time speaking english half the time.

Ton grammair est un petit peut bizarre :-), mais j'aime bien que tu parles francais ici. Je vais jouer aussi, quand tu veut! Also a favor please, from whoever is willing. My best buddy Martin has a birthday today (11 April) for those of us in different time zones. My present to him is a massive mail campaign of Birthday wishes, from common friends, as well as those unknown to him. I wanna slam his mailbox w/kind thoughts. Anyone willing to help me w/this? If so, send me a pm, and I will give you his e mail address. He is no Deadhead, but a super kind man and a great person. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

At the risk of sounding like a heretic, I was wondering...If the Store portion of this web site had issues which disrupted the the use of it, would it have taken this long to resolve them? I can't be the only one for whom question this has come to mind. And yes, this is an unfair question for at least two reasons: 1. I don't believe that the Store uses online chat representatives to assist customers, so it's an "apples and oranges" kind of thing. 2. It's very possible that some of the proceeds from the Store are used to subsidize this Chat Room. I may be biting the hand that feed me here, but hey, if my cat can do it.... Any comments?--assuming this even gets posted ;-) Bobbin' and weavin' Steven

I think it's a reasonable question, and I too have some thoughts on what you have asked. This is certainly not heresy, you haven't hammered at the foundation of the band, you've just posed some questions to the folks to whom the band has sold some or all of their merchandising rights. I think that if the revenue stream of Dead.net were affected by the same technical issues as the chat feature, it would have been resolved within hours. And yes, the chat room is subsidized by sales, it's a business thing I guess. Having said that, I also feel that the owners of Dead.net don't actually owe it's users a chat feature. It's like the buffet in the casino, it's just something to attract customers. I hope that your questions and suppositions were not taken by the folks who run this site as hurtful or offensive, I see your remarks as a request. Perhaps I would have said something like : "Yo Deadnet, Let's get it in gear and fix the friggin' chat room fer Chrissakes! What are ya waitin' on? The second coming???" But that may be a bit too heretical, YMMV Now after having said all that stuff, I think I'm gonna go roll up a little something. And I think that I should get back on topic, by posing a question of my own: Wouldn't it have been grate if the GD covered "Twist and Shout"?

breakout was 2/11/69. 3/1/69 is on Fillmore 69 box set and is well just pretty awful, so bad it is almost funny, especially after such an amazing show. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

7 Apr 85, show opener, per deadbase. Personally, I thought the most impressive Beatles cover was Tomorrow Never Knows. Even The Beatles never tried to perform that live. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

One of the most sensational songs every recorded. The Beatles have some much sound that is not really known. Of the begining (big band) Thanks for sharing this.

everyone is a dude, dude. I remember the daze, going shopping in kind convenience stores, and the clerk would smile and say: 'Thanks, dude. Please come again' and I would say: 'don't 'dude me' dude. and he would say: but, you just 'duded me', dude. and I would say: 'don't 'dude me' dude. and he would say: but, you just 'duded me', dude. and I would say: 'don't 'dude me' dude. and he would say: but, you just 'duded me', dude. and it would go on and on... until the grumblers standing in line behind me would start grumbling even louder. fucking grumblers, can neither take the time to 'dude' another dude. so we are ALL dudes, even the gals, who are also dudes. the term 'du-dette' was just never part of my vocabulary. Please take the time to stop and 'dude' a dude. That is what life is all about, dudes. "don't dude me' dude." "but, you just 'duded me', dude." ( -;
