I received a brand new and…

I received a brand new and sealed copy of Dave's Picks, Vol. 30 w/bonus disc for Christmas. I opened it up and to my surprise, I found my copy to be numbered 190/300. I've seen some unnumbered promo copies released for other volumes, and I know there was a run of 500 extra copies of Vol. 3 to replace some copies that disappeared, but I can't seem to find any information on Vol. 30. Does anybody out there have any idea of what I might have? Thanks.

The Orwellian vision was about state-sponsored surveillance.....

Hey, dude from India!!

So, you're a spammer, AND a Deadhead??? Interesting combination............

Ultimately, Captchas are useless for spam because they're designed to tell you if someone is 'human' or not, but not whether something is spam or not.........

Now it's not just the state, it's your nosy neighbor, your ex-spouse and people who want to spam you......

Dave's Picks (Looking for Miracle for founder of Deer Creek)

Hello. First time poster. I saw on Facebook someone posted about Dave's Picks Volume 40 at Deer Creek.

I understand it is sold out, but inside there is a letter from John Scher to Dave Lucas. That Dave Lucas was my father.
He and his partner built Deer Creek, and created the vision on how great it ended up being. I myself worked many summers doing the marketing for the shows at Deer Creek including all the Dead shows.

However, I would like to get a copy of that as a present for him and I have no idea where to find. Can anyone help? Looking for a miracle(many times I handed out extra tickets as miracles). I think he would find it very special.

Thank you in advance.

Hey now that's weird

everytime I post I go to another show 291 now, wish I remembered them!!

cool isn't it

Its a new incentive scheme.The more you post, the more shows you went to, the cooler you appear. The next incentive scheme will be to deduct one year from our ages for every 10 posts!

i notice the shows have gone now New incentive scheme, that's why they do things to P*** you off so you post more Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ Spanish Jam

oh here's another show

what show was it ? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - http://spanishsunshinedaydream.blogspot.com/ Spanish Jam

I think

that feature still isn't working just exactly perfect, as I noticed over the weekend it had me attending 1253 shows, to which I can only say, I wish.

Shows

How do I go to Shows and Songs to list the number of shows that I have been to?

whitebird

on the right hand side of the Shows and Lyrics page (http://www.dead.net/showsandlyrics) you can look at shows by year, venue, etc. Each show's page has a little clickbox that says Mark as Attended. Click that, and you'll be marked as having attended that show. My problem is that after about 1990 it's all a blur and i wish i'd kept better records!

Have you ever considered

Have you ever considered hosting the forums part with vbulletin? Much more functional as a forum. A dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago... ________________________ www.autoquoteresearch.com

well, Warlock

I wasn't around when these decisions were made, and generally speaking I don't have a technical clue beyond basic html anyway, but I think for the moment Drupal is the hand we're dealt and the world in which we're operating. Though I will pass along your recommendation!

Messages

How come on my account when I look, it only has block messages and does not have send private message link for other users? I notice other accounts have this option! Mine only has Blodk Messages. JAZZzzz

Whitebird

I tried to send you a pm and it was blocked :( anyway its cool we both have twins!! :) Peace! Try goin into your account and edit then unblock messeges!!

No big deal, I've been told

No big deal, I've been told that the vbulletin is easier than HTML, but still has hard corners with . Plus there is a vb language. I've been in the many different Subaru community forums for roughly 10 years plus. Never been an administrator or nothing tho. I have my own website, and I hate HTML! Sorry, only if alignments were easier I wouldn't complain! I use a WYSIWYG editor anyways so I keep it simple. Thanks for your hard work!!! A dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago... ________________________ www.autoquoteresearch.com

whitebird

Frankly asked that very question elsewhere a few days ago. On someone else's page you can send them a message or block messages from them. Basically it makes no sense to have a send private message to yourself link so there isn't one, but logically, blocking messages from yourself, which you CAN do, makes no more sense. So if we learn anything about that oddity we'll report back.

Past The Time For A New Release

It's been a while since I last logged into the forum here but regularly check the sight for any new news. Seems now should be the time for the next CD or DVD release. Any news or are we stuck having to wait several months with nothing new offered up? Road Trips was nice but it took an eternity to be released. Without a doubt, there are many live multi-track tapes, matrix/board mixes and video footage of shows to be able to release them quarterly at the very least for many many years to come. Anything new?

hey spacebro!

Nice to see you! Even if I have nothing to announce...

JFK 1976....Food fight

I have a question....Was anyone at the 1st show at the JFK in Philly 76 with Yes,Peter Framton and Gary wright!! Do you remember the food fight?? One fifty thousand people throwing something at the same time. It was the biggest food fight ever!! My friend and I were on the field and hid under a blanket ( no help) I was hit with a frisbee in the head, then a whole water melon smashed right in front of us!! Holy shit, we peeked out from the blanket and saw sandwiches flying, coolers and beers in flight!! It would be cool to see a you tube of this!! It was insane!!!!!!!! Just wondering if anyone was there too!!

Foodfight

hi .no i was not at this show..but i was in 1977 at another show.it was in germany and the band was not GD but the jefferson starship.should have been the first gig on the european continent since 68.it could have been the greatest outdoor venue i ever went too.the party began the day before,went on allnite long and than everybody went to see Grace and the boys.the vibes where great,until the moment when bill thompson together with craig declared that the concert was over because gracie was drunk so she could not even move.in that moment pure hell broke loose,and believe me there were no frisbees and watermelons launched.there where fewer people (15000) but the stuff thrown was definitely heavier and harder.I really feared for my live...all the starships equipment was destroyed,burned or looted.so was the site.i think they never recovered from that blow:-((..and all because off a bottle at the wrong time in the wrong hands!!!still love this band anyway and everytime i listen to grace,chills go down my spine....peace fellas and stay sober

in fact..

i forgot to ask my question.because about 70-80% of the people attending the jefferson crash were GIs i would like to know if there is anybody out there who has been at this event.cosmicaly yours......

Brent Mydland

Y'know, I've been to a few shows & checked out different dead stuff throughout th' years, but one thing I've just never come across is interviews with Brent. If he doesn't speak his mind, how do we know what he's thinking??Just tell us where to look! & then i learned what GDTRFB meant –]

he didn't do very many

There was one in the Golden Road, as I recall.

How is this merchandise able to be considered copyrighted?

I saw this on Ebay and I thought the claims could not be legit.Is this claim of copyright legit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190199008665&ssPageN… hoops47

hoops

Beats me, but I have passed this info up the line, as it seems pretty bogus to me also.

Ebay pinseller

After reading his rap, he shouldn't worry about getting any business from me. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

digital downloads

this site has been up for some time now actually greater than a yearare the any plans to restart the download series thanks

Can I post a comment?

help

Oh Captain My Captain

Apparently you can, because you just did.Welcome aboard! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

The Warfield 10/9/80 Vine seems to have died.

Not sure what the protocol is here. The Warfield 10/9/80 Vine seems to have died. It was sent to GratefulGooner on Feb 27 and nobody's seen or heard from him since. We have his address, but his phone is unlisted. I don't want to trash the guy, if he has a good excuse & is Planning on getting the vine back on track, but how long is too long? When do we tag him with the moniker Vinekiller?

Erikat

Who knows what is up? Maybe illness etc., there have been some pretty good viners here that disappeared for a while and then come back. Vinekiller moniker may be premature Someone could restart the vine. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Blow Away

Who is singing this song?

Nina

That would be Brent. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

HDCD

No idea if this is the proper forum...i received Winterland and was so looking forward to listening to it on my laptop.but when i inserted it into the drive, it spinned a couple times and that's it. tried opening it with itunes, winamp, wmp, and EAC - all with the same results. it plays fine in my car and my work laptop. i thought it had to do with HDCD, but then i put in 'stepping out', also HDCD, and that played fine. i'm able to burn, rip, and liste to other cd's. any help would make feel loved. thanks

The Schwag

How come you guys don't have The Schwag listed on your site in the "other bands" section? They keep the vibe alive and turn on more people to your music than anyone. I thought the dead were gothic before I went to this little festival in the woods called "Schwagstock" and my life changed. I am not alone. Deadheads need to catch one of their shows/festivals. JGB with Melvin Seals play there occasionally.

well, fluff

you're the first person to come along and mention them, but we could start a topic on 'em if you want!

bigmountain

It's possible you have defective discs; mine play fine in iTunes so that's my first guess, but I'm no tech expert. Especially in Windows. I'll pass this along to the tech folks and see if they have any thoughts, and one of us will get back to you. Sorry for the hassle.

in the old

i hope there may be some old family from the rainbows out there that someday may run across me, and to everyone else keep the sun on your face and the wind at your backside.

More recent releases on itunes

When will something like the new winterland 73 box set be available on itunes. I prefer downloading music instead of buying it with the packaging Check Out My Orignal Music at myspace.com/salaversano

this concert

does anyone remember a dead concert at winterland in the '60s or early '70s, when the stage was opposite the front doors and people in the left balcony(i don't think there was a right balcony) opened a banner sayin - it has been 349 days (or some number like that) since you played dark star - ? they didn't that night but ya had to smile.....what year was that? it was a really nice night under the wing of uncle john's band.

download artwork

Is there a way to the Artwork associated with the Downloads sold in the store? I am just now buying them. thanks,pk

at the moment, I think not

but it's on the list. I would send a message to Customer Service with the request just so they know you want this.

The Dead Rock The Cradle Of Civilization

Isn't The Dead Rock the Cradle Of Civilization supposed to be available for pre-order here today? Site says it isn't available.... Thanks!

The Jerry site

I apologize if this is the wrong thread to ask this in, but does anybody know what's up with the official Jerry site? It seems to be pretty much abandoned these days. No new DVD or CD releases whatsoever. In fact, there's nothing new at all on that site. I think it shows an enormous amount of disrespect to Jerry to do nothing with that site and the huge catalog of his music that's sitting in the vault. Anybody have any ideas?

Hey Anomalator ....

You can write them that question at purejerry@jerrygarcia.com and maybe they can answer it!! I have no idea why,but it seems to be abandoned to me too!!I just sent them a message too!!

Rock the Cradle

Hey Now! I, too cannot seem to find a link to put the new Egypt '78 shows in my cart. I want to pre-order to get the bonus disc. Please don't screw me on this! I use the search function and it takes me to a story about the new sets but there is no link to the product. FRUSTRATING! Any help would be bueno. Come on without, come on within!

Preorder

Not happening yet. Happening: many technical issues due to server migration, making me very happy that there aren't errant preorders adding to the confusion. This should all get straightened out pretty shortly, more as it happens. Thank you and sorry.
