    okay, some answers
    1. The full show downloads are in the process of being re-loaded and will be back shortly. 2. Per the engineer: "all of the FLAC files are sourced from .wav files of the original masters and are not converted mp3s"

    ... to Live Downloads. I was only commenting on the fact that I couldn't distinguish between mp3 and FLAC recordings of the same show, something I normally can do. Not sure where the comment about torrents/stealing came from. For the record, I own several thousand recordings and have paid for every one. :) Still wondering about the Road Trips Full Show downloads - were they removed on purpose, and might they be made available again?

    Oooofff! Sure hope that isn't you! I don't have direct experience but I'd start with a round-the-world cruise if I could. Maybe change towns if I couldn't. Change of everything (except for work perhaps) for a while. Try to open my mind to new thoughts, new sights, new friends and realize that my load was 1/2 lighter because I didn't have to carry around the emotional baggage of the ex.. Maybe somebody else with direct experience can help more...

    JSFC -- Did I miss a comment...
    ...somewhere about bit torrents being stealing? Could somebody explain that issue to me? Also, if Live Downloads is paying to the band I would agree -- what does it matter where we purchase it? Same with the indie resellers, they are paying the freight. But, if I went into a store and saw the "Bonus Disc" for RT 3.3 being sold separately for 24.99 because you can't get it from the store anymore I would be more than a little displeased.

    That bit torrents are "stealing" music. Also Live Downloads is a legit site. They wouldn't do something shady like convert mp3 to flac and sell them. What's matter where you purchase stuff as long as you can find it? "Lazy lightning you say you never strike the same place. I want a double dose in any case" ... "You got to hear my supplication. Got to hear me now. A little bolt of inspiration"

    Live Downloads FLAC or MP3
    I read your comment dajokr and checked a copy of 'Rare Cuts and Oddities' I purchased as a FLAC from LiveDownLoads a while back. The rapid analysis tool in Traders Little Helper states with 100% confidence that every track does is not contaminated by MP3 (for each track the report states 'looks like CDDA with probability 100%') so all seems fine. There are more sophisticated checkers out there but they take a while to set up. Of course I cannot guarantee that any other DLs from that site are OK too. It does raise the question of why and how LiveDownloads are selling so ,much more material than Deadnet and if their operation is approved and where they have sourced the material. I would guess that if they were an illegal or fake operation GDP or Rhino would have taken action by now, but who knows? What would be preferable is that if all the releases could be downloaded from here...I have no idea why that is not happening. ANy news on that Marye? thanks

    Speaking of downloads...
    ...did the Road Trips full-show download idea fizzle out? The links are still there for the V1N1 (79) full show downloads but they are dead. And those shows are not at live downloads, unfortunately. For those that have ordered the FLACs from live downloads, are you certain that the files are true lossless (i.e., from the original source) and not simply converted mp3s? The reason I ask is that I downloaded two of them and then compared the sound to the mp3s and I didn't hear a difference. Usually my ear can fairly easily distinguish such things on my system. Phenomenal release in 5-15-70. Please keep 'em coming just like that!!

I think it could be done, though I tear my hair at the thought of retrofitting what's already up. It's a good idea, as we've been getting a lot more artwork from folks lately.

The package was up for pre-order for a few hours, including a new Road Trips volume (Winterland From Egypt with Love), then gone again. Very confusing.

What is this in the forumsI saw one about 1974 Miami show I assume that you sign up and someone mails you the CD and then you pass it on? Sorry I am not really uh knowledgeable about this. Planning a big party when i get the Pyramid shows. Thanks And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

It is indeed where people who sign up share shows by passing them along for the next person to copy the CDs and then send them on. There is a variety of Grateful Dead, Garcia, Ratdog, Phil & Friends and even other artists music to share. Click back to forums, then scroll down to the vineyard, click and browse.

Why does it always say "You are not allowed to post new forum topic"? Are we only allowed to respond to Admin. issued Topics on this board?

In short, yes. However, if there's a topic you'd like started, we're generally pretty responsive.

I have no idea. Delighted as I am to see you around these parts, it seems to me all the various Obama fundraiser topics are alive and well, other than the one with the original press release, which did get rather summarily removed as arrangements were not exactly firm at the time. If you want to PM me the particulars on this mystery please do!

its because no-one pays attention to the independent candidates, most of us are just concerned with the two bloated bloodsucking political parties that have the most money (our money of course) that's all they see. you must look beyond these vampires....plenty of other candidates out there but it's harder for them to get on the ballot, because, again, money!!

Im so sad that all of the tickets are sold out for the Dead Heads For Obama Concert at the Warfield!!! You guys need to have another show so the rest of your fans can have a chance of seeing the greatest band ever supporting the best presidential candidate of our generation!! I would drive across oceans and fly through time and space for those tickets!! Please consider it, Morianna

I have a question: say I wanted to make sure dead.net folks were aware that HeadCount was auctioning off certain music-related items, like: 1. A Warren Haynes, custom Gibson Les Paul Guitar, signed by Warren himself 2. A Pearl Jam poster from their 2008 tour, signed by every band member 3. A Fender guitar signed by every member of the Allman Brothers Band and Bob Weir & RatDog 4. A guitar signed by every member of My Morning Jacket 5. A Rothbury poster signed by Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and three members of Phish 6. A Mile High Festival poster signed by Dave Matthews, John Mayer and 10 others 7. A pair of Congas played by Jay Lane of RatDog along side Bob Weir at a historic private performance in Washington D.C. on April 7th (signed by both) Where would I post something like that? (I get HeadCount emails, let me know if you want me to forward you the email with the auction link) ((Snoop Dogg, Dave Matthews and Phish - you know that's the after party to hit!))

I just wanted to post the auction list somewhere. The Ratdog/Allmans autographed guitar is still only $1000, and the Bob Weir autographed congas are an affordable $370. thanks, Mark
