Grateful Dead

After sugaree Bobby tells people from the cheap seats to stop whistling. Cracked me up. Of course they do it more. Dolts. I'm sure I would have been one of those dolts in my days.

....my stupid thumb sometimes has a mind of its own. Anywho, pray, or if you don't pray, give good vibes to my stepdaughter. She needs it in a big way. Much thanks.
She's 40 btw. All grown up. Or is she?

Hope it turns out better for the kid. You tried.

Sorry to hear VGuy.

btw, sound advice.

....needs to open their ears. Ha! Back in Vegas after a quick jaunt to Elko checking on a couple of stepdaughters. One is in bad shape. Here's to words of wisdom from ole' dad. I hope they stick. 'sigh'
I started with "Don't do meth". Day late. Dollar short it seems 😕. My wife and I left depressed and in tears.

DV, they do release some outside of dead net. The Red Rocks show from July 8th 1978 and Cornell are a couple of recent examples. I think the main reason we don't see a whole lot of them is because they generally do not release two track recordings outside of these dead net programs anymore. I think the examples I gave from 1977 and 1978 are exceptional recordings so they're comfortable releasing those. Also they are very well known shows so they stand a good chance of selling a lot of them in the open market. Long Strange Trip was also released, as well as a best of compilation from 30 Trips Around the Sun. Beyond that I don't think there really that many multi-tracks left. At least not from the 60s and 70s. There is the 1971 Port Chester run and the 1971 Fillmore East run. Fillmore East has the problem of guests, which always makes it more difficult to release. There is a show from around Dave's Picks 18 from the Orpheum in 1976 that is a multitrack and has not been released. There is the Grateful Dead movie soundtrack run, but I don't know that there's a whole lot to salvage from that, is there? This discussion comes up once in awhile and it always seems that most of the high grade songs from that run were included in the soundtrack. They probably have a ton of stuff from the 90s that they just don't think will sell. I'll bet there could be some from the late 80s but they seem to be really hit or miss. The RFK box set that had just the two shows sold slow. The Giants Stadium box that went fast. The shows are basically in the same week right? Beats me. They also must feel like they've reached out and reeled in the Grateful Dead listening market right here on dead net. There are distribution fees and all kinds of monetary disincentives to distribute through what's left of the brick-and-mortar stores. The internet killed my business that's for sure.

TJ, they do have a notice up saying that their warehouse moved and that there would be some delays. Sounds fair enough to me.

Good call Daverock. Had to let the negative vibes out. Knew you all would understand. Now it's all positive going forward. Dead Ahead!

Tramjams...every body who reads these posts is important. Any good vibes associated with The Dead are alive and well with the posters on here and those who read them...not with dead.net.

Talking about the 2002 Go To Nassau release makes me think again of why they don't release other shows outside of Dave's Picks and the annual box set. Seems to me that there is a ton of material still out there, certainly a lot of multi track, and other options. What is preventing them from putting more out? I know there is only one Jeffrey Norman, so hire additional staff and make it happen. Anyway, just a dream of mine that won't happen, but a man can dream.
More money for the Company and more music for the fans, how could you lose on that idea?

I think those lp's were only for distribution to member stations and not for retail sale, that's why they had 'cue' marks. (if I read the wiki page right)
