    Thanks for all the feedback guys. Most of my discs weren't even fully inserted into the sleeves. Got the first 2 shows ripped, and Casey Jones back where it belongs on the first show.

    HCS Box

    Hey BC, I also have these CDs in jewel cases as the slip cases are not the best.

    Let's hope the new box has better cases. I always liked the cases in both Spring 90 box sets and the PNW box.

    Almost at the end

    Fantastic show

    Even though Grumpy Grumpkins here isn't thrilled that Throwing Stones bubbles up

    The music prior to that is really good

    Edit:
    Beautiful run of shows

    I imagine it must have cathartic to play so well after the useless tragedy of Brent dying

    God Bless the Grateful Dead

    HCS box

    TNJ - congrats on obtaining that great box set. Enjoy! Not sure you listened in on the cd quality issues BITD - some of those boxes, mine included, had a whole lot of problems, especially glue on the playing surface. Like ConeKid said, rubbing alcohol (70%) - also antiseptic isopropyl alcohol (91%) - will remove that stuff. Hopefully your box is one of the clean ones.

    As luck and synchronicity would have it, in just last few days I was finally able to successfully rip every disc to my HD - initially 6 or so had skips (always in key jams). Had never had that issue ripping any cd before with that external drive and feel it had to do with the cds on some basic level. An unrelated software issue that I finally was able to resolve had me revisit ripping those discs with a different external drive and to my great delight and surprise they all seemed to rip clean and I've been dancing back and forth between the 5 shows listening to sections here and there, some that had problems to verify they're good now and some just cause I want to hear them. HCS was a dream box for me - I think I called for it at least a year before it was announced (not that I ever expected it to happen) - so to get a box with a lot of quality issues was "sort of" a real big problem. Along with glue and scratches, none of the discs were properly/fully inserted in their slot and so they all were in a flexed position and I wondered if the ripping issue was related to that. Quite frustrated, I transferred them all to jewel cases and basically they went untouched for almost a year until these last few days. And now all is better.

    Currently playing 5/20/73 Santa Barbara, the Here Comes Sunshine from Disc 2.

    The Octoberfest will be flowing tonight!
    You would think they would have to let us know soon about this year's MUATM.
