Grateful Dead

Ooops.. I see Oroborous already addressed the Aired on 6/22/1980 part. Makes what I wrote a minute ago redundant.

So are you saying you have that three LP vinyl that was released all those years ago? It's so rare, I am not even finding it on eBay or Amazon. I had never heard of it before.

That was quick! Most excellent.

The warehouse Ian is referring to in Franklin IN is exactly 18 miles from my house. Not only have I not received my order, I haven't even received a shipping notice yet. When I called those wonderful folks at customer service they said I should be receiving a notice in a week or so. I swear Dead.net has outsourced their customer service to my cable company. Am I somehow being penalized because I live close? I don't even want to put in writing the thoughts that go through my head every day when I drive by said warehouse.

I have always equated the Dead to good vibes. Peace and love. But come on. I have ordered everything they have released through Dead.net. I used to receive my order on the day, or if the stars were aligned, the day before the release date. Those were the days!

Is anyone important reading these threads and paying attention to how frustrated the customers are that are responsible for their job security???

I believe that 6/22 date is when the show aired. I remember that was my High School graduation as I recall taping it off the radio while all my relatives were in the backyard wondering where the hell I was lol. I still have it and think I tried to figure out what song was from when and tried to combine with Go To Nassau tracks in a feeble attempt to get it all in order. I think the track listing on that link looks like the tracking from my tape of the radio broadcast, but I’m at work and would have to look it up...

I have all three Nassau shows in stock, first one sounds like good soundboard, middle show is an ok audience and the last show good audience. Found it odd they did Sailor -> Saint all three nights, must have been new.

Jim, odd page on King Biscuit. Page said show was 6/22/80 in NYC, I show NO show on 6/22 and the radio city shows weren't until October. No breakdown on what dates for what shows the songs came from. Charlie Miller seems to say lp cuts were from 15th and 16th. I see no Terrapin on the Go to Nassau, but it is on the King Biscuit cut. King Biscuit wiki page says they had a fire that took out a lot of the tapes they had.

The Nat King Cole box set.... I think Cousins said his friend wrote the section of the booklet about Oscar Moore, very nice. In fact I found the whole booklet very interesting and I usually don't read they things. Now I only need to learn what a flatted fifth is. ( I doubt it's an empty bottle) GREAT box set in any event. One of the things that amaze me is how short the songs are and yet the tension and resolution can be amazing. The cover of Caravan is incredible. In less than 3 minutes they jam and return to the Caravan theme so smoothly!

Sent by Direct Sh*t /Warner Group from Franklin, IN with UPS Mail Innovations Economy to a distribution centre in Zurich, Switzerland. Then sent by Swiss Post Economy to the United Kingdom where it was delivered by Royal Mail.

There is a UPS barcode number (which you only know after delivery) but the UPS website only tracks it within the USA:

Still no sign of mine here in the UK, IanM, Perithecat who delivered your copies?

Can anyone who ordered internationally this time let me know how Vol. 32 was shipped? UPS? Fedex? The last two volumes were shipped with UPS and it was easy to track down. This time there's nothing written in the section about shipping info.

Thanks!

Arrived safely in the UK with no extra charges. Maybe the new warehouse has finally sorted things out?
