    Must have shows
    My favorite eras are Jan-April '69, Spring and Fall '72 (but you should definitely pick up 8/27/72), Oct-Dec '73, anything from '77 (most people probably prefer the Spring but I like the Fall too) and Jan-Feb '78 (I might be alone thinking this tour of California, the one off in Oregon, and 6 shows in the Midwest is great). After that, the consistency goes down, though I still like fall '79, Fall '83, Fall '89 and Spring '90. Good luck!

    I completely understand about the objectivity of 'best shows'
    but thank you for your input...i do have the complete '72 recordings and love them, i have heard cornell '77 is a must have from numerous sources. I just want to start compiling some nice shows. thanks again for your feedback!

    It really depends on what years you like...
    You couldn't go wrong with 8/6/71 and Cornell 77. You could throw a dart at a bunch of good quality dates from 73. At least three from the Europe 72 tour. One thing I would caution though. Go for 5 star quality complete or almost complete shows. You will be more satisfied in the end. In my older age I know I hate fragments or poor-sounding quality. Just one head's opinion. If nine more answer I'm sure you'll get nine more opinions...

    I think you're looking for 7/29/94, not 95. No Buckeye Lake in '95 at all, and a version of Traffic did open on 7/29/94. So if that's the show you're thinking of, here it is! Here she comes through Archive goin' clickety-click. She said stream or download, you can take your pick. He wants Buckeye (yes he does) He wants Buckeye (yes he does) Buckeye Buckeye Buckeye Buckeye Buckeye

    I'm looking for somebody that may have a tape of Buckeye Lake July of '95. It's the show Traffic opened for them. This show means a lot to me and I would love to have it.

Hi there, I don't know if this is the right place for this question but figured someone here would know the answer... I am wondering what the best source for complete Grateful Dead set lists is? A friend used to have the entire Deadbase memorized. It was amazing, you could test him!! I see there is Taper's Compendium as well (volumes 1-3???), and my friend said this is more complete? What say youz? Thanks guys!

Try the Shows & Lyrics section on this page (Look Up). Float your cursor over it, then go to 'Shows by Year', pick a year, then a show. The set list is usually integrated into that show page, or someone has kindly placed it in the comments (thanks hockey_john).

The Deadlist project is also a great resource - posters, handbills and tickets for almost every show as well as setlists...they are amazing there.

As much as the digital age has allowed the old tapes to be cleaned up and made to sound better on cd or through a computer, it does not sound right until it is put onto tape and played through a vintage system with old cabinet speakers. At least that is my preference. That said, I resurrected my tape collection and have been able to acquire a ton of killer tapes. I am looking for blank/templets for j-card inserts. I have hundreds of tapes that need them so I am open to any designs or leads. Thank you, Steve

I also am looking to aquired Jcards so that I can clean up my collection of GD tapes. Does anybody have any info on the JCards that seemed to be mass produced specifically for Dead tapes? They often had "Live Dead" or some variation of that, printed on the spine and a stock photo of either Jerry, Bobby, or Phil on the front. Any info on these types of Jcards, or any other mass produced GD J cards would be very much appreciated.

I would spin them, but the tapes seem to have been lost to the ether! I just checked and I don't have them anymore :-( I have a bunch of other 1993 shows, but that one is missing!

My husband told me to check out a user named brianhahne in order to find old releases at decent prices. There are a couple of Dick's Picks I still need to find (3, 4, 24, 28), as well as the Bay Area Pure Jerry - but not if it costs $300+. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Looking for a resource for trading CD-R. Have done the Vines but I remember a vibrant tape trading network back in the day and want to rebuild my collection. Enjoying 6-20-74 on archive.org right now but the streaming doesn't help in my car or out by the pool. Any help much appreciated. Will trade what I have as well as postage, blanks, etc.

Hi there, was wondering if anyone had any reasonably priced copies of Dave's 5-11. Don't mind paying a little more as I know these are out of print, but some of the prices on flea bay are a joke. Also in search,of Winterland 1977. Thanks, and PM if any leads would be appreciated

Does anyone want some discs with shows from 1982, 1987, 1988 and 1979, as well as some Jerry 1974? About 20 discs, 4 shows on average on each disc. I am moving stuff from disc to external hard drives and want to get rid of the discs. If people are interested, I will have many more to offer. PM me

I am desperately trying to get a hold of some dead tapes someone else has made. I know I could go on archive.org and make my own but I really am looking for someone to guide me by sending me tapes of their favorite shows. I'm willing to send blanks and pay postage. I have tremendous respect for the tapers who was there and am asking if anyone would be open to sending me some tapes. It would mean the world to me. Thanks in advance for reading this and considering it. Please PM me if this is something you would be open to.

I am seeking a good quality recording of the 11/30/79 show, Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh. It was a first date with a life partner and would like to make a Christmas present of it. Archive.org has several SBDs and an great sounding Matrix - for streaming only, of course. I'd like to have a CD copy to give as a gift. Lots to trade if that needs to be part of the deal. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,My close friend, my girlfriend, and I have all become deadheads within the past year. We continue to go deeper and deeper each passing month. I have gotten to point where I am hoping to get some tapes to listen to. If anyone has extra tapes they would like to pass on to a new deadhead to experience please message me. For faster/more convenient response email me at gulatherogress@gmail.com We can work out the arrangements. Thank you very much for your time.

My young daughter has followed her parents’ footsteps and become very into the Dead. She doesn’t have her own computer to throw on shows so tapes would be great for her - I passed on my collection of 400 before she was born. We’d especially love anything with fun fan art / crazy cases / etc. All eras more than welcome! Thanks.

I have at least 400 cassette tapes in my storage unit that I would like to give away for free. They are a combination of soundboards and audience recordings. All periods but heaviest concentration is from the 80's. They are in a state of utter chaos, in a very large and quite heavy plastic storage container. This is way too heavy to ship, so must pickup in person. I live in Big Sur, CA and the storage unit is next to the Monterey Airport. There are certainly a number of excellent audience recordings made by a friend and those are not in circulation. The tapes cases are fun, many decorated, harking back to that time when I was young in the 80's and had loads of time on my hands. PM me if you are interested.
