    Do people still trade tapes?
    Not sure if tape trading is very active these days. Most of the better tapes have made their way to the Grateful Dead archives being digitized into FLAC's Oggs and MP3 VBR files. https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

    never played collection of tapes
    Hi,I just ran across a large collection of unplayed second generation dead tapes. my neighbor just collects things. he is not a fan of the dead but copied someones tape collection and then put them away and never played them. 119 cassette tapes he say's he copied from a guy that new the deads soundman. I have no idea what he has. the first tape I checked out is labeled shrine 11-09-1967 and is an excellent recording, sounds like a soundboard (I don't hear the audience). after looking on the internet I am confused. the dead.net site says they never played on that date. the internet archive has 7 songs from the next day 11-10-67. the first song on one side (not labeled with side one or two) is "the other one" and is not the version listed as unknown source on the internet archive from 11-10-67. so I have no idea what he has, or how to go about even figuring it out. but they are all unplayed so I thought they might be of interest to the community. let me know if this might be of any interest to anyone. thanks, clint bush I don't visit forums often so if interested just email me directly TennesseeJed12345@att.net

    even if the most recent batch has been taken, stick around, because now that folks know you're looking they can keep you in mind for future stuff too. Meanwhile, if you're set up to copy CDs and DVDs, look into the Vineyard, which has an amazing range of stuff from all eras. You sign up, copy the disc when it arrives, and send it to the next person on the list.

    A year or two ago I decided that my collection of over 450 tapes was taking up closet space that I wanted back. I had since downloaded digital copies of most of those amazing shows so I knew I would be OK. Dark Star Orchestra was coming to play an outdoor venue in our town and I new they would host a large number of heads at their show. I gathered most of these tapes(I had to keep a few of the most killer masters for me) and toted them to the show I set up around my car the wall cases of tapes with a sign that said FREE, but please be kind to others. Most folks could simply not believe it and repeatedly asked, 'are you sure?'. Many traded stuff for them and I felt real good passing along to the younger heads -their first tapes. Fun, Fun, Fun

    I was cleaning out a closet over the weekend
    and discovered boxes and boxes of tapes that had been thrown in there more or less at random a decade or so ago. It's going to take several bursts of energy to sort them all out. I also found two reels, which I have no idea why I have them, as I have never had a reel-to-reel. One of the Dead at the Hollywood Palladium, one of mixed Dead/Airplane stuff. The only thing I can think is I must have grabbed them at a yard sale, or someone else did thinking Hey, Mary Will Like This... I suspect there are still quite a few of us with tapes, even though we rarely play them. One thing that makes me really happy though is that the technology is now such that you can connect your cassette deck to your laptop with nothing fancier than a plain old patch cord and digitize your tapes. Whether it makes sense to do this with your music is debatable, as there are almost certainly better versions out there but hey, this is the one you imprinted on. But I've got a boatload of interviews that SERIOUSLY need this, painful as it is to hear myself sounding like a fool all the time. Usually the person I'm talking to doesn't.

from gdhead77 for JGB Albany 2/13/80. Great show. Made the trekfrom Binghamton to Albany. Don't remember much as I was studying "Chemistry" as well, but I do remember a great Mission in the Rain. I also seem to recall something odd about the opening act, but I can't remember exactly. Anyone out there know what I am talking about? Seems like we were at a lot of the same shows, especially at Nassau and Radio City. We probably ran into each all the time. "Let there be songs to fill the air."

Hi Guys, New to the board. I was wondering if anyone is interested in a trade or B&P? I have only about 9 dead shows thus far and I am looking to aggressively expand my dead collection. I am looking for soundboard quality shows/essential dead shows + anything with die hard versions of sugaree, loser, and/or franklin's tower. I have dl'd torrents in the past, but now being on dial up has made that difficult... so I am looking for stuff in either shn. or flac. format. If anyone can hook me up I can send out some blank dvds or what not. pls let me know. Thanks Jim

Does anyone have a SBD for the first set of this show? I have the second set -- and really like it, but I am having some trouble finding the first. I have a pretty good collection, so let me know if there is anything you are looking for. "See the Dog Star Shine --- I got a feeling I got no time to lose"

Would like to buy or trade for a CD copy of "The Wheel" (with the fantastic musical intro) as heard on "The Grateful Dead Movie (1977) during the first 8 minutes of the DVD's animation. If anyone knows what concert that was on it would be most appreciated. I heard it once on Sirius 32 but have been unable to find it. Many thanks.

I believe that was the rendition of the wheel from Garcia's first studio album. It is a wonderful document to Jerry's brilliance. Check it out (some other great versions of songs you love and some you might not love yet, but will!) The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

Greetings bwelker, Sure would love to hear your shows. I'm sure you want them to go to a good home. Since hearing about the spring tour I'm newly excited about trading. I just got tix to The Forum and Shoreline shows and am planning on taping them. These shows will be my second chance to see the Band. I was lucky to see them in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in '92'. Never thought I'd get the chance again. I'm now researching the equipment I need to record the shows and also use it to convert my 40+ tape collection. So I'm super excited about all this and would love to share my tapes too. If you want CD's of my stuff I'll do the lossless conversions. I haven't forgotten the grate attitude deadheads have and am happy to be getting back to the community finally. grateful, Longrifle

The other night we heard on http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com the second set of the 1969-06-05 show. We loved the playing but we just rolled over with laughter listening to Lovelight. Can anyone help me find a site where I can download this show? I looked in the Internet Archive but this show is only in streaming format. We like to have it on CD. As for trading: I have little to offer as most of the shows are downloadable from the Internet. Ship of Fools

Hello, I have a VHS tape of the Grateful Deads So Far. It came out in 1987 but has some of New Years 1985 on it also. It blends live Dead playing and creating in a controlled environment with live 1985 New Years mixed in. Pretty cool but i'd like to transer it to a DVD. Tape song list is: Uncle Johns,Playin, Terrepin, drums/space, Throwing Stones and Not Fade Away. I'll send you the vhs tape and you can make a copy for yourself and me and send it back. Whatcha say.

Let's trade show list and go from there. I have about 250 whole shows from all eras. I also have about 15 bootleg DVDs. These dvds are really sick! and a must for serious or not Heads. Some DVDs I have are: Hampton 89, New Years 89, Paris 90,Berlin 90, Landover 90 and so on. The DVDs are bootleg video with soundboard quality audio. Someone at a studio did a great job on these.

This is a gift for my coworker who first saw the Dead in Eugene Oregon 1966. I would love to have a tape or CD of this show. I can't find it anywhere on any of the sites in Albix's post. Please help. A bill would be a cherry too.

As per Deadbase, it would appear that there's a perfectly good reason why you're having trouble tracking this down. If you do ever find it, please let us all know. Here's all the shows in Eugene they do know of: Query String: WHERE (city Like '%Eugene%') 21 shows matched your query. Date Venue 01-30-68 Erb Memorial Union, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 05-31-69 McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 01-22-71 Lane Community College, Eugene, Or. 01-22-78 McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-25-78 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 08-16-81 McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 08-29-83 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 08-30-83 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 08-31-83 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 05-06-84 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 05-07-84 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 05-08-84 Silva Hall, Hult Center, Eugene, Or. 07-19-87 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 08-28-88 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-23-90 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-24-90 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 08-21-93 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 08-22-93 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-17-94 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-18-94 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. 06-19-94 Autzen Stadium, U. of Oregon, Eugene, Or. Perhaps your co-worker meant the 68 or 69 show. Ask them if they remember the venue. There is a soundboard of the 69 show on archive, and it looks so tasty I'm just gonna have to give it a listen. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Upon Further clarification it was at Souther Oregon College in Ashland. She believes that it might have been held in the gymnasium there and yes it was 1966.

Deadbase has this one: Query String: WHERE (city Like '%Ashland%') 1 shows matched your query. Date Venue 02-04-68 Gym, South Oregon College, Ashland, Or. But they don't have a setlist, although apparently Quicksilver also played and tickets were $3. No copy on archive either. Good luck with your search. Sorry I wasn't more help. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

If anyone has a recording of this show, http://www.dead.net/show/september-21-1972, that they are willing to copy/trade/whatever for my father, it would be awesome, it was the show he went to when he was 18 so it would be nostalgic for him and a totally new experience for me. I can properly reimburse anybody who would be so kind. email is lightbulbpirate@gmail.com if you have an offer.

Thanks tgakidis, I was wondering if any shows from the current spring tour were making their way out there or if the only option was to pony up 14 bucks (yuck). Is there a tapers section this tour? I'll be at the Forum on the 9th and I'm starting to get excited so I'm looking to hear what's been happening so far. Can't believe it's been 14 years. Good to be back.

so sorry, but soliciting illegal copies of commercial releases does not fall within the parameters of tape trading on this site.
