    Welcome back!

    Whether you're new here or a longtime resident of Dead.net, you may want a bit of assistance getting your bearings.

    In the navigation bar at the top of the page:

    The Store is the place for official Grateful Dead merchandise. It's the place to order things, and also launching pad for a lot of lively discussion, mostly in the thread for the most recent release.

    Archive includes photos, artwork, memorabilia, etc. from the Grateful Dead's long history.

    News is the place for announcements from Dead.net

    Dead 101 has information about band and family members

    Community is home to tape trading, tour tales, ticket exchange, numerous discussions and recommendations of everything from bands to books, and more. 

    But wait, where did that feature go?

    Looking for Chat? Recent Posts?  You'll find them in a menu that appears if you hover your cursor over your avatar photo up there in the upper right.

    If you get confused...

    Listen to the music play. But if that doesn't help in the moment, send a PM to marye and we'll do our best to assist. Thanks!

    Just type and press save. :-) You can even edit later if you make a mistake or have second thoughts about your facts. P.S. I suspect you might be inquiring about how to initiate a new thread. In that case, private message marye. My experience has been she'll point you to the right place!

    Believe it or Not is in Box of Rain(the book.) I'm inclined to make a song out of it. Is there a tune to it, and, if not, I'll compose one. Is there anything I need to know before doing so? --Uncle Fred

    Smoothing out (again)
    Well, the giant 4x or 6x screen is gone and there is now only a bit of newness to go through. Not that bad. However, the golden zenith of dead.net has been reached, never to be seen again, with it's warm tones and textures and (ugly) copyrighted pictures (unless you, like Jackson, thought these over-sized marks were cute.) It was cool. It was a trip. Now, it's reduced to ugly and boring and for sale.... The items therein, that is. Rhino's contract is up this year, right? (Sighhhh!)

    Basic navigation doesn't work
    Or it does work if you have a giant sized screen. Looking at dead.net and interacting with it is no longer an enjoyable experience. This happens with every computer I use. It's been happening since the two stores combined into one website. I wish somebody would fix it as it is practically unusable now and I'm sure I'm not the only person who is having this problem.

I remember back in the 70's listening to a tape with PigPen and Janis Joplin singin' Lovelight together. Most of my tapes back then where either Port Chester or Fillmore East. Does anyone know what show that was? "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." (Jimi Hendrix)

So many years later, I still miss hearing his voice, picking on the guitar, and experiencing a GD show. In 90 when Brent died, the GD sound was never the same. Seventeen years later and twelve years since Jerry left us, I still feel lost. Does anyone else feel the same? My heart is comforted by all the great recordings, but I still miss him. A friend of mine introduced me to the GD 30 years ago, and my life has been forever changed for the better. It was the best time of my life! Thank you for all the wonderful memories! Holly

Welcome, come into the garden!It's a grate garden. Pick your vine, go to the last page, scroll down and find the latest list. Then copy the list in full and paste it to your "post new comment". Add your name to the end of the list. Feel free to comment. Post your comment. Then e-mail the person just before you on the list with your address so they can send it to you. Check back every so often to see where it's at. All that is asked is that you post back to vine when you receive it, try to copy it within a few days and post again when you send it out to the next person. Helps the vines grow and keeps the garden watered. The tension is when the vine stops, someone has it and either dropped out or the gardeners just don't know where there vine is. Just keep all posted No worries, It is a wonderful place with the rewards of a bountiful harvest of the gratest music on the planet. Ripe and Flavorful Come join us! peace,pk

I went to most or all of the Dead shows in Portchester, NY and a bunch at the Filmore in the City. I only recall the filmore venueing the dead and janis and not Portchester. Indeed, I saw the dead and Janis on the same fillmore bill.

How do I post on this site? I graduate nursing school in 5 weeks and will be a licensed nurse before I can post on my own on this site. You try to accommodate too many people. Is there a place for people to be critical of the band (besides New Jersey)? Thank you, Roger

Apparently you've figured out how to post. If what you meant was "How can I start a new topic?," the process is to send a request for the new topic to our beloved moderator, marye. Congratulations on your new career! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

it is so cool for a deadhead to zero in on a topic, interest or resource. Way and beyond anybody else out there in the same genre. If we can't have the real thing, then at least we can have what is current. That is worth a note of thanks for!

I've reported that the fan pic thing is really being ornery. I've had the problem myself, and it seems like maybe one pic in six makes it through. I am not aware of any folder creation capability in the inbox. However, I'll ask Jonathan.
