Grateful Dead

By request: "Hi. Any chance of a new thread for tapers actually going to Chicago & looking to co-op & coordinate gear?"

This came to mind because I'm cleaning out closets and coming across boxes and boxes of tapes and slides... Back when the boys started playing, cassettes were a big breakthrough. For years, mailing them around the country was a huge part of the scene. Now you can often download a show right after it's been played, or watch it in real time from thousands of miles away. Things we could only dream of a couple of decades ago are now routine--not just real-time setlists, real-time video for all to see.

By request, a topic for fans and collectors of vinyl recordings, Grateful Dead and otherwise, to talk about it all.

Posted: February 8, 2010 - 5:59pm Just got this from Stu Nixon, who asks me to pass it on to the Dead.net community: DeadBase Returns! And we’re looking for a little help from our friends… We're back! Or at least we're thinking about it... By popular demand we are in the process of determining the feasibility of publishing a new edition of DeadBase and are looking for some help. While a totally revised DBXII is still a possibility for the future, right now we are considering putting out a reprint of DBXI with an appendix of corrections and additions to the setlists.

By suggestion. Digital? Analog? Old school? New school? Etc.

What no Deadhead should miss. What no taper should be without. Thanks to leadbelly 27 for the suggestion!

Also DVDs, CDs, MP3s... Post requests and offers here. Please note that while trading, vining, etc. are welcome here, trading, vining, and other unauthorized copying and distribution of commercial releases, including those of the Grateful Dead, is not. Thank you.

Latest and greatest equipment, etc.
