    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".

    MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Make sure you can deal with the media format. Many vines are

    Inane and immense post
    At the risk of opening a big can of worms, I hereby put forward some thoughts about an unwritten rule here in the Vineyard (Hereby? What kind of pretentious SOB speaks like that?). It appears to me that once a show is vined, it is considered to be a solecism (oh c'mon, just say "impropriety") for another person to post a new vine containing that show. At first glance, that seems to be a good rule as the last thing one wants to do is offend our Vineyard's most precious commodity, the seeders who plant vines. But when one delves deeper, it becomes apparent, at least to me, that this rule hinders the proliferation of music. How so? First, as discussed ad nauseum (Oh, big shot lawyer, big SHIT if you ask me!) here in this forum in the last couple of days, vines die. Especially for vines that have been extant (OMG, this is getting ridiculous, just say "dead" you pretentious MFer) for an extended period, it makes at least as much sense to just commence a new vine as it does to reseed an existing one. For those of us who are diurnal (Is this idiot trying to get under my skin? DAILY you bastard!) visitors here, we are aware when a vine dies, and I for one wouldn't mind a new vine being planted. As for those who are not here as frequently, well, they are often the ones who abscond with vines in the first place. More importantly, the unwritten rule limits seeders and makes it more difficult for viners in that it requires a viner to sign up for multiple vines to acquire a run of shows, rather than one medium sized vine. For example, we have a vine for 12/27/77, but not vines for 12/30 or 12/31. As an aside, remember that 12/29 is a Dick's Pick. If a seeder wanted to vine the entire December 77 Winterland run, he couldn't. And a viner would have to sign up for both the 12/27/77 vine as well as the new 12/30-31 vine, if he wanted the entire run. A vine containing the entire run would be more efficient, and save postage, fuel, feed starving children, etc. Second, this needs to be said: WAV vines just don't cut the mustard for many of us any longer. I am as guilty as the next seeder for starting many WAV vines, and I sincerely offer contrition (Just apologize you wanker!) for that. I'm half kidding. I listen to WAV files. I don't have the capability of playing FLAC files. Heck, I still use a stereo and bring ACTUAL PHYSICAL CDs to work, back when I was working, to play on the computer. That's right, I admit it, I don't even have an I-POD! [pause for gasps]. But I have come to the radical but inevitable conclusion that I prefer to have the best sounding WAV file available, and that is only possible by having the FLAC file. What I am talking about here is, [hold your breath I am about to coin a new term], Sound Quality Equality. With FLAC, there are no longer elites who have optimal quality shows, while we lesser Heads must subsist on inferior copies. We have the same copy as Charlie Miller himself! WAV files are copes of copies, and contain generational loss, at least at some point. I like to think that every copy goes down 1 percentage point, and that even those of us who are not audiophiles can decipher the generational loss once it gets somewhere between 95% and 90% quality. To illustrate, my Cream Filling '73 vine, containing WAV files of 11/14, 11/17 and 11/20/73. If you received this fine vine, your copy is a copy of my copy, which is itself a copy of a copy of unknown generations. If you are thinking about Abbot and Costello at this point you are not alone. If you do not know who Abbot and Costello are you are very young. If you are very young, and are a single, attractive female, please PM That Nice Hippy Guy at ...ok, enough. Although your copy should be pretty good, and I believe it is, a direct copy of a FLAC file would be even better and it would allow you to trade the show to another person with the utmost confidence that you are providing him with the best possible sound quality. If someone wants to circulate a vine of FLAC versions of those shows, I not only acquiesce, I ardently hail it. Sound Quality Equality! At this point in what has clearly devolved into a prolix (MORE PRETENSION!!!) essay, it is time to reveal that I meant to preface all of this by saying that I do not want to step on any toes, that I sincerely appreciate all that the generous seeders do, especially those who have planted copiously (ARGH!!!!). The problem is that to preface something one often starts by saying something like "Let me preface this by saying..." , which sounds like one has to get permission in order to preface something. I'll be damned if I have to get permission to preface my own essay!! (Calm the hell down, you TWIT). Hmmm, I thought I had a third, but I guess I don’t. Anyways, I am not trying to reinvent the wheel. I am not suggesting killing off any vines. The gist of what I am suggesting is that a seeder be allowed, without suffering rebuke, repercussion, or other indignity, to plant a new vine containing a previously vined show if: (1) the previous vine is dead (Thank you for using a simple word), or;(2) the previously vined show was circulated ONLY in WAV format, or; (3) the previously vined show was NOT part of a substantial sequential run of shows (oh boy, now this arsehole has to define “substantial sequential run”). No, I will not define it, instead I will give examples of what I consider to be substantial sequential runs. Bob’s April ‘71 vine clearly should not be revined, unless of course the vine is dead OR new better versions of those shows have surfaced. The latter seems like a reasonable exception that everyone can agree on. Rick’s NYE ‘83 vine would also qualify and should not be revined. As for those that are not substantial sequential runs, I would point to my own seedling, Stache Rides ‘77. It could be revined because only 3 out of the 5 shows in the run were circulated in FLAC format. A potential viner should not have to sign up for both my vine and a new vine containing the other 2 shows in FLAC format to get the entire run, and a potential seeder should not be hindered by my negligence in seeding in FLAC format only 3 of the 5 shows. Another example would be CB’s The Matrix Part 2, a fine vine by the way, which contains both FLAC and WAV files for 12/28/70, 7/17/76, 7/29/74, 10/2/80 and 7/18/89. A seeder should be able to vine the entire Orpheum 76 run, and not have to omit 7/17. Simply said, this provides more options for everybody. Don’t I have anything better to do? No. I am currently unemployed, and when not engaged in self-gratification, listening to music, walking the dog, feeding peanuts to squirrels or bettering myself in some intellectual way (HA, ordered by priority you boob!), I have some time on my hands and have thought about this. If you are thinking “TMI” at this point, and you are a guy, you need to be immediately taken out back and pummeled, because no guy should EVER use the phrase “TMI.“ Back to the question, I anticipate imminently acquiring most if not all of the shows in FLAC format between 3/21/ and 9/21/73, and I would like to be able to vine those shows here. Personally, I am not crazy about HUGE vines, and will create multiple parts to the vine, each containing a full DVD or two of shows. Of course, this is assuming that participants don’t object to this post, or at least to the paragraph containing “the gist,” as this post is clearly objectionable on multiple counts (Christ, the lawyer thing AGAIN). Well, my friends, this rant has come to an end. I hope that you LOL as much reading it as I have writing it. Or in the words of our distaff (YOU FRAKKIN STOP THAT RIGHT NOW) member Leanne, PC PC. Ok, I have had enough of you, you scoundrel, why don’t you be a man, come out from behind your parenthetical prophylactic and confront me?!?!?! ARRGGGGHH Sincerely, Bob Weir

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

I have a mac and I am having a hard time with finding conversion software that works with all files flac and shn. I have tried, and prefer audio cd's. If anyone would like to follow up on this with me please PM me rather then continue this here. -----Here come a riddle, here come a clue If you were really smart, you'd know what to do when I say Why am I going out of my head, whenever you're around?

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.

So first person to sign up please be able to convert and seed the audio cds. I'm not a mac user so can't help you guys out. I just don't have the time to create the audios... Marty

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"

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"
