    Full Show Downloads?
    In response to the below, I've checked back a few times but I couldn't find the downloads. Help...? THanks, dajokr okay, some answers On July 15th, 2010 marye said: 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"

    Looking for a VW ad from Rolling Stone magazine
    Hoping you can point me in the right direction. Looking to purchase a copy of the VW ad from Rolling Stone shortly after Jerry died. I believe it was a VW bus and the copy said something to the effect of, “thanks for the long strange trip.” Thanks in advance for your help.

    taxes paying for archive
    A recent op-ed piece by Brian Riedl (Heritage Foundation) alleges that $600 million taxpayer dollars are going toward the Grateful Dead Archives. While I'd gladly contribute $2 bucks (my share) towards this endeavor, I wonder if there is truth to this?Peace, Fred

    OY!
    I am waiting on someone and figured I'd kill some time trying a bit more. ---I kinda ran on here, have that tendency, so maybe just scan it and I'll try one last thing later and make a more concise summery report--- There seems to be no pattern, hit & miss. One image I never get the scaled pic even at 72 dpi. It is the largest physical size pic as it is an 8x10 photo scanned in, cropped and resized to the 600x400 limit but as you lower the res the physical size, if printed, grows and maybe that has something to do with it??? But shouldn't since it is only 63 KB. When I upload the one and only that has worked so far it worked again & I see the scaled pic. Try another and maybe, the one again and no, yet another n maybe... I don't freakin' get it. I did one I don't care about at 72 dpi and saw the scaled image after upload, hit preview, did not see it other than the scaled, clicked submit and it was there like it is supposed to be. Tried doing what I did for the first and only successful one so far and it did not work this time with another pic at 200, 100 or 72 dpi, same pic at the different res. I deleted that one, tried a few others with clicking on submit, 72 & 100 dpi and they only gave me the scaled image after uploading and nothing when I submitted, I deleted those too. I just did one with uploading the very first taper's tic again, upload, saw scale, upped a different one also at 200 dpi, saw scaled, submitted and I see it like it is supposed to work. I stopped since it appeared to work, left that window open and came back here. Still have not learned anything really definitive other than possibly flaky system never showing in preview, sometimes showing the scaled image after uploading and sometimes showing correctly after submitting. I'm thinking if it does not show after submitting it did not make it to your queue, can't be published and it does not matter if it was the first normal attempt of my goofiness. (Addition after “ending” before posting of course is I think maybe an extra long file name does not work, one had 43 characters and no go, and that ‘ in the file name is ok but not & because when I changed & to _ and shortened as I say somewhere here it seemed to work. Also I tried adding “&” in an already short file name and it would not show the scaled image after uploading before submitting nor show after submitting). Before posting this I tried to do another one and now no matter what no scaled image after uploading, tried a few over and over but never submitted. Kept at it cause nothing else to do right, hello buddy where are you LOL, and going around trying to up 4 different ones, including the one that has worked, one that appears to have worked and 2 others and never had one pic show in scaled and when I got one of the 2 I'm trying to submit to show scaled after uploading I submitted but then it did not show so I deleted it. Sorry this got a bit long going round in circles adding more notes as I went trying to figure this out without success while still waiting on someone after WOW I did not realize it has been 2.5 hours since your post above Mary. Went to the topics page of this part of the forum to see since it shows time since last post. It would be nice if there were timestamps next to the posting date. This is getting nerve racking and this sort of thing is part of my job. I am really thinking there is something flaky with the system as that would explain why the same pic would work one time, not another, then yes... and also possibly partly why the no image in the queue is not uncommon. I stepped away from this for a bit and tried the one that never showed a scaled image after uploading. It was a kinda long file name although I have seen longer here before but that could be before image limits, pixels, res & size might have changed. I shortened and still no go. It had an "&" in the name and when I change it to a hyphen I saw the scaled image. Could be coincidence but I tried replacing the & with _ in the long file name and no go but first try with _ instead of & with shorter file name and I saw the scaled image. It did not preview, no surprise there since none have yet, and it did not show when I submitted. I tried the first "trick" from a few days ago and no then around an around I went again and now I see it after submitting. Ooops this grew some more while experimenting, getting a little frustrated but persevering and noting since brain death occurred a little bit ago and I'm not totally remembering all I did so I'll refer back to this later. Hopefully the two I think worked today, one right after your last post Mary and the 2nd just a little bit ago, that I see correctly after submitting is in the queue and you only see those 2 not all the other attempts that I deleted too. Ahh finally the call I've been waiting for, time to chill and officially start the weekend :)

I apologize if this is not the correct forum but I am really disappointed in the customer service. I ordered two sets of Spring 1990 (one set as a gift for my best friend) and have nine pages of notes from phone calls and emails. Every time I contact the customer service I get a different answer! This has been going on for more than one month. I am ready to waive the white flag and give up. Do you have any suggestions? thank you Michael Johnston

Can anyone help me find any film footage taken at the Furthur Festival in Toronto July 9, 1997. This show was moderated by Arlo Guthrie. In particular, there was a film booth at the festival in which people could record themselves and their impressions of the show. Any suggestions are most welcome. Kind regards

What's going on with the store and the Road Trips links? None of the ones that say Add to Cart or Buy Now go anywhere when you click. Has the store not been completely switched over yet? I notice that a lot of things are missing... Just curious as I was looking to round off my RT set. Thanks!

Curious to know if there's going to be a bit more of the Road Trips sets as well. Not sure if they're actually all sold out or if it's a 'not completely restocked store' issue.

Hello,I'm working on a new live music project called, "Deadhead Download". Is the word "Deadhead" trademarked by you guys? If so, how much do I have to pay you to use the term at a concert where I'll get paid 20 bucks and have 50 bucks of expenses? Also... How much do I have to pay to use/license the "Steal your face" logo? I am talking about commercial use, but probably will be making less than 50 bucks over the lifetime of the project...

Anyone know when the fully stocked store is going to be up and running. Christmas is approaching. I'd love to get some stuff before the Holidays, and have those who buy for me be able to get it as well. The JGAB dual release with the booklet comes to mind, the 7 Walkers stuff, etc. Additionally, do we know anything about the scope of the new store? I'm certainly hoping more than is there now. But more Dicks? More Jerry? Saw a post that said mid-October was the goal, was/is that still accurate?

Hi, I have the 3 releases of Dave's Picks. They have not been indexed properly so you cannot see track title and other info when playing in cd players. I have tested in an older Sony player and also on my Oppo 95 and both are blank. Computer playback may be displaying the info but thats not how I play cd's. Will the new releases finally have proper indexing? thank you

but I cannot think of a single CD I own that displays title (as contrasted to track) information when playing on a CD player, so I'm not sure any such standard exists.

Really, many of mine have that.. it displays on my tv. For example I just put in Frank Zappa Hot Rats. it displays: Disc Artist: Frank Zappa Disc Title: Hot Rats Track Title: Peaches En Regalia Track Type: CDDA Channel Type: Stereo 44.1k 16b this is very common but yes not all discs have it but since these are new releases I would think it would have been done since it is simple to do.

I'd really appreciate some info on the store. I'd really like to support the site and all, but if there is no update soon, I'm reluctantly going to have to go to Amazon or some such to see if I can locate some stuff I'd like to get that was readily available on the old site but now is not. Have to buy it, get it shipped, and then ship it out. Need a month's leeway at least. Even if the response is:" I have no idea when the new store will be up and fully running." Or even: "What you see is what you get with the new store. These titles are the extent of it." I could just go head with a clear conscience. Peace, Jason.

Im trying to shop the store and all I get on there is the Almanac. Also it looks like some of the RT are gone? Will they be replaced? I remember getting an email for some a couple months back saying less teh 500 left and I bought those. Why wasnt an email sent out about the other ones and low quantities. Im not trying to gripe but they are $100 on Amazon

Really? If true, what a shame. It seems like just a few months ago the dead.net store had an awesome, shortly announced one-day sale going on where you got free shipping on top of a 20% discount and they were all available. Road Trips, in my opinion, had some great selections over a wide period and great packaging with the least amount of miscues in all aspects associated with it. Maybe that is why some of them sold out. $100 on Amazon seems more than a little stiff. Hope everybody gets what they want for Christmas!!!

I downloaded Google Chrome and still can not download the track. Why does it seem that everything associated with Dead.net is a test of endurance? Here's to hoping that I can eventually get these tracks from someone who is a computer whiz and able to deal with the intricacies of navigating the infinite possibilities of programs to download the music. I can't post on the downloads page because I don't have a Twitter or Facebook account and don't want one. Who is designing the Dead.net site? A group of sadistic computer nerds? Did anyone there ever hear the expression "user friendly"?

...and all that time I thought I was first 2 years ago when I won. That's great then, better chances for everyone. If I can remember right, I had to contact them to find out what to do after my name was announced as the winner. Par for the course here at Dead.net...hahaha. The prize was the 1969 Big Rock Pow Wow Road Trips.

How tech inclined are you? Do you know your way around a computer? How many computers do you have? Do you have a buddy whose computer you can try? I was having trouble at first until I downloaded Firefox. About the third day they fixed the problem so IE works now. Make sure everything's updated. I have to admit, this website works better in Firefox.

So, I'm trying to buy my Dave's Picks 2012 Subscription, and on the site, when it lists your cart, it says there is Dave's Picks free shipping, and -$11.95 is subtracted from your order total. But then, when you actually go to checkout, your $11.95 reappears on your bill. Watch it folks, it looks like free shipping, but it isn't. EDIT: I went back a second time, and now it is working properly and giving the discount. Never mind.
