    Dead.Net Vines - What It Is & How It Works

    (We're changing some things for 2009)

    BACKGROUND: The concept of a "vine" is music sharing through conventional means (e.g. mailing cd's or dvd's) with the sign-up list being on-line. The basic idea is that someone starts (seeds) a vine, made up of one or multiple shows,and sends it via mail to the first person who signs up. That person makes a copy for themselves and sends the ORIGINAL media on to the next person on the list. As more people sign up, it continues to grow and grow - hence the name "vine".

    Thanks Mark
    I'm in AR now, I went to an interview in Dallas last weekend, it felt successful but time will tell...Dallas is a nice city...it captures and combines the southern vibes of AR with the big city I was born and raised in (Fresno, CA)LOL, yeah, no locks here, clean shaven, I see how the name may seem a tad misleading though-it's an lil homage to "The Family". I'm a modern day Deadhead (25 yrs old), never seen 'em live...I was turned on through Tribute bands (The Schwag, DSO, etc.), I never truly *heard* music until Dead tunes...I merely listened...it has changed my life in more ways than one...all positive....thanks again for defending me Mark, and at least giving me a chance to screw up before judging me...unlike a few others. That's super cool and definitely show's great character. -Josh "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

    Thanks for writing here. I feel more reassured about the vines now. Please note that anything I wrote about this were not directed at you personally, (I have not had contact with you before) but were attempts to keep the vineyard process moving and not bottleneck. Enjoy the vineyard. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

    Cheers, fluffhead420
    Happy to have you here, man. There's been a few bad experiences here in the not too distant past that resulted in vines disappearing, some people are sensitive to the issue. Between that and the sometimes slow pace of vine progress folks were just trying to head off potential problems. I don't think you'll have any problem keeping up. Enjoy the noise!

    Eric, once again...I do appreciate your concern and contribution...but you need to revise your list...I have recieved and turned around about 5 or 6 of the vines on the list you so meticulously compiled...all in what I would deem to be a timely fashion...I even added a lil extra fruit to them for those after me on the list. With you not knowing me personally, me not being on the vines for too long, and your said contributions I can see why you are concerned...and that's why I have spoken to you via PM a couple times addressing this issue clearly not to your satisfaction. Once again, even if people happen to send vines to my old address the good ol' US Mail will fwd them to my correct address for **6 months**...Hopefully your worries have been alleviated and you can now worry about things that are actually a problem in your life.No harm, No foul...and there won't be. Much love and peace. -Josh "One way or another, one way or another, One way or another, this (your) darkness got to give." "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.

    Please don't dominate the rap, jack, if you've got nothing new to say.If you please, don't back up the track this train's got to run today. I spent a little time on the mountain, I spent a little time on the hill I heard someone say "Better run away", others say "better stand still". Thanks to those who seem to know me albeit a short amount of time and have supported me-or at least given me the chance I deserve...I do appreciate the weary and their concerns but worry not...this is not and will not be an issue with me...as Mark stated, I am not a transient, quite to the contrary, I am an insurance agent and have been for 6 years here in AR...Recently I was given an opportunity to relocate to which I accepted...The post office forwards mail for 6 MONTHS, but that too is not much of a factor as I will certainly inform you guys of my new address as soon as I know it...I take this (music/vining/my fellow neighbor) seriously and absolutely will NOT let anyone down...I am fully aware I am signed up for a copius amount of vines, but they certainly aren't going to be coming all on one day...again, don't worry...if there is a problem, then worry and take the necessary actions to preserve this great thing but I can assure you there won't be any problems...all good things in all good time ...let there be songs to fill the air BTW, I am not a big Phish fan, they're ok, but barely in my top 10 Vine on...worry free -Josh "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head.

    Coming soon 1994 and 1995
    Looks like the vine vigilantes are busy. I have only been here since May 08. It appears to me that some folks come here with unrealistic expectations. The reality is that you have be here for the long haul to get some good music. You can't pop in here and expect to get everything you sign up for in a week. It may take months. It took 7 or 8 months for me to get the Summer '82 vine. I think some folks come in and find out it takes a long time and leave. Anyway, I am pleased to announce a new vine coming soon. It will be one vine with 2 shows--1 show from 1994 and 1 show from 1995 (both digital soundboards). Although a lot of heads say this was the worst period, these are really hot shows. Jerry does not flub the lyrics here as he does in many other '94 to '95 shows. These are some of the very best of this period.

just a guess, apropos of your posts getting caught in the spam filter as this one did--while there's no accounting for the spam filter's wacky ways, looking at the post in question I think all the ... and ,,, and suchlike in large quantities are probably attracting its notice. I post this rather than PMing you because let's just say you're not the only one having this problem.

As many of you know, I dedicated a vine to my friend Eileen - consisting of some Alaska shows. Well - she has arrived fine & dandy in Anchorage and I got her to sign up as AlaskaGirl here - so if you want, you can shoot her a pm. However, she may not be able to check in for another couple of weeks because she was going to ski-in to a cabin where they might have to dig in to get to it & stay for a couple of weeks (in the out back - or whatever you call the west bumfuck of Alaska) - so she may not get around to reading anything for a while. One warning though - I don't know if she even likes the Grateful Dead (she hasn't told me yet) and I also don't know if she knows how to copy cd's - I can guarantee she knows nothing of shn or flac - so I'm waiting for her to tell me what she likes so I can send her some music. She's not real into writing - but based on the emails she's sent, I'm thinking of at least a readers digest submission ( I may have to do it myself on her behalf) - or a cool movie. One thing for sure, she's a damn free spirit and in total control of her life - and that is to be highly commended. Thank-you Eilleen for your inspiration. P.S. She always had this sign on her cube that said " The strangely alluring Eileen ******" (last name hidden for maximum security) - and it certainly is true, now isn't it?

I just acquired 34 new shows, all in WAV format (sorry FLAC only viners). Based on past transactions with this person, a good number of the shows should be vine-worthy (see the 2 Fall 77 vines, Cream Filling, MSG 83) or at least trade-worthy. I have only listened to one show thus far, 1/10/79, a very good show that I grade as an A-/A AUD. A bunch of the shows are from '76, a handful from '77 (2 I didn't have and 2 I am hoping will be seamless and thus an upgrade), 5 from '78, a few from '79, some early 80's, and a few from the early 70's. I anticipate seeding a few vines over the next couple of months. Stay tuned

I found a download for 12/30/77 but I would have to down 2 other shows to get it, and with my connection speed that will take like a month. "You know the one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench....."

And y'all know where all the shows are, so maybe you can tell me this. I have a deep, dark secret: electronic music. Does anybody know where the old Tangerine Dream shows are hiding? Like the GOGD they have a rep for having had some of their best work taped at live shows and supposedly there are a lot of tapes out there. You guys seen any of them online? ************************************** *The white zone is for loading and unloading only* **************************************

My God, what are they teaching you kids in school these days? Seminal German electronic group (aren't they all) but not as monotonously droney as Kraftwerk, more spacey. They were around near the end of the psychedelic era. They've been in several movie soundtracks, you've probably heard a little snippet or two of something TD did and not realized that's who it was, they also get used as background/bumper music. Wikipedia has a pretty good article on them. Yeah, I couldn't find them on the archive sites either, but from what I've read there are a bunch of tapes out there. Jean-Michel Jarre is another good electronica type, Zoolook is a great album. I have it on a commercial tape but need to upgrade to CD. Vangelis is too melodic, his older stuff is good but he can get boring like elevator music (the Chariots of Fire soundtrack is pretty powerful though, and Bladerunner is pretty cool). I doubt there are tapes of these guys, they aren't known as great live performers I don't think. Of course, I never thought that Kitaro would be a touring act until I met one of his truck drivers at a bar in Nashville. Thanks for looking!

Back in the late '80's. One of her sons is Ernie (the one that didn't get drowned trying to ford a river on horseback) and Ernie had a roadhouse type bar near Loretta's "dude ranch" at Hurricane Mills, TN - my hometown is near there. Story was that Doo (Loretta's husband) bought the bar for Ernie so Ernie would have something to keep him busy while Loretta and the band were on the road; Ernie may have gotten into some trouble while on the tour. The bar became a source of trouble as well, and I think it mysteriously burned down at some point. Did quite a bit of partying with Ernie but a lot of us did. Oh, yeah, I could tell some funny stories, both first and second hand. Ernie dodged jail a time or two before I moved away in the early '90s, and I think ended up going back on tour with her in the late 90s. He may have ended up doing some time in prison, he pleaded guilty to a DUI/vehicular homicide charge - friend of Ernie's was a passenger and got killed in an accident. Never got to know the twin daughters though, unfortunately. Saw Loretta a few times around the ranch but never really met her. Everybody I know that did meet her said she was genuinely nice. End of long story. Never heard of Tangerine Dream, huh. ************************************** *The white zone is for loading and unloading only* **************************************

Birdsong is right, some of the viners need audio cds. Now that I have the hang of it, I will be happy to convert these when I get the vine. You can send it out on DVD in Flac. Talking about getting old -- never heard of "Tangerine Dream!"-- I got my application to AARP over the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Threw it in the fireplace.

If you have enough disk space, you can just copy the data to a hard drive, convert from flac to wav, burn the cd - then recover the space on the hard drive. You only need a burner if you're planning on copying the dvd.

Hey Geoff et al... Its easy to do... As long as your computer reads a dvd data disc (and most all do) you have no worries. The program you need to download is called flac front end. You can get it at the following URL: (this is for windows) http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm Its simple to use... You just setup the output directory. Drag files to convert from either the data dvd (or hard drive if you copy over) and hit decode... A DOS like program will run and when done will say hit any key to continue... then you are done.. the wav files are on your hard drive and can be burned to CD like any other .wav file. I am happy to walk you thru the use of this tool... Its easy! Join us in the digtal age :-) It is much easier & cheaper to send 1 disc then 9 discs. PM me for more details or any other help required. marty

Sometimes I include a copy of Traders Little Helper on dvds with flac/shn files. TLH is great. It converts flac and shn to wav for cds, also it will convert all of these to mp3 format. And its free! Here are some links to similar programs for mac: http://www.lexial.ca/alex/applescripts/iTunes_to_flac.html http://sbooth.org/Max/ These links and re free stuff at http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html

I love the title. I prefer audio CDs for 2 reasons-- 1) I got helper to work but it took an hour to convert, and I have to use 2 computers due to my setup...etc...etc..........etc...etc 2) my burning program inserts gaps between tracks I can do a "disk copy" and burn a seamless disc as seamless

I bought software that converts and it is one way I can contribute to the vining community that has so greatly enhanced my collection. So, you seeders continue to seed as you see fit. Trust me, everything you guys do is greatly appreciated by all of us. Some of us will convert, and even add some fruit once in a while. We are all part of a community.

Are you using windows media to burn? If so you should download itunes. I used windows media for a long time (which is why some of my early vines have gaps between tracks). I hated itunes at first, but its actually easier when you get the hang of it. Peace, Trevor "You know the one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench....."

...and mayber another "remove silence at end of tracks" option to get rid of the track breaks. I've never used WmP for anything but playing, and occasionally ripping MP3s. Don't really like using programs supplied by the content providers, just paranoid I guess. ************************************** *The white zone is for loading and unloading only* **************************************

Donna was with them in the late 70's. When was Maria Muldaur with them? I'll see what I can find. "You know the one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench....."

I may be mistaken, but I think there was a time when both Donna and Muldaur were with Jerry. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"

so there are very few shows on etree from between those dates and I would have a really hard time downloading the ones that are there. How does everyone feel about 8/22/76 with keith and donna? "You know the one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench....."

Here is a two show offering from 1978. Popular opinion is harsh on 1978. While I agree that there are some bad shows in 1978, and even more average ones, I think that all in all, and especially in comparison with any year after, it is pretty good. There are a bunch of very good to great shows (1/10, 1/11, 1/22, 1/31, 2/3, 2/5, 4/16 ...). Well, here are two more, 4/11 and 12/28. Both are high energy shows and A SBDs. I rate 4/11 as a VERY GOOD show, tied with 4/22 and second only to 4/16 as the best of the 7 April '78 shows that I have. 4/11 Highlights include (a) a mid-first-set Tennessee Jed (generally one of my LEAST favorite Garcia songs), (b) a set-ending Deal, (c) Jerry HIMSELF announcing the set break, (d) a hot Fire out of a solid Scarlet, and (e) a great Iko (again, not a favorite song of mine) out of drums. 12/28 is a GREAT show. Highlights include (a) a first-set-opening Sugaree, (b) another hot Jed, (c) a MONSTER set-closing Supplication, (d) Eyes of the World and (e) a great Truckin' out of drums (another song that isn't at the top of my list). These are WAV CDs, six in total. Look for a 1977 version of 'Stache Rides soon :)

I think 78, especially early 78 is grossly underrated. Maybe I am biased since I got on the bus in April 78 (Pittsburgh), but this sounds like a great vine. Thanks Dstache. "One watch by night, one watch by day If you get confused, listen to the music play"
