    Downloadable cover art
    Hi guys It used to be possible to download PDF cover art for every release - these just disappeared at one point. I've purchased a lot of Dick's Picks and Download Series from the website in the last year and assumed that cover art was supposed to be included with downloads because in the downloading tool, a picture of the cover would appear in a little window. However I've never received any cover art files (except for the Road Trips Full Show downloads). I contacted GD Customer Service and was told that cover art is not offered. This seems a bit odd to me - front and back PDFs were available for download for any downloadable release, whether one had purchased it or not. Now that I am purchasing several downloads, I'm apparently not entitled even to a picture of the front or back of the CD. Does anyone have any idea where I could get these? I find it bizarre that the official website no longer provides cover art for downloadable versions of its own products, after having high quality scans up previously. It's no great loss I suppose but I'd really like to print out covers so the spines of my Dead CD downloads aren't all back. Any thoughts?

    Dick's Picks Vol. 23 questions
    OK, the information on Dick's Vol. 23 states that it's from two shows on February 23 and 24, 1968, in Lake Tahoe. Anyone got any idea which songs are from which shows? A Also, the photo in the CD tray shows a marquee listing a third date (the February 22), which makes me wonder if a tape exists for that, as well. And were these shows really at a bowling alley, as suggested by the other photo in the tray?

    It was a mirage my friends, a fever dream brought on by the heat. The desert does strange things to a man, and you may see things that aren't really there. Wonderous visions of CD/DVD packages that miraculously unfold into pyramid-thingies, imaginary road trips of your imagination populated by camel-riding skeletons and bridges in the clouds. Web pages that appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, leaving only a tiny after image of an album cover to mark their passing. Have a cool drink, find a comfortable seat, and wait. And wait. And wait, in breathless antici.................pation. Perhaps the visions will come again.

Will the package deals for the Dicks Picks series be available again? Such as 1-36 for $650 and the 6 cd deals? Also are there any plans to make the Mother Mccree CD available again?

Any updates about the packages deals? They were available on the previous site's store but didn't seem to make the transfer to the new one... In addition to the Mother Mccree, a repress of the 1st Old & in the Way CD would be great if possible as well.

Will reviews (of catalog items) posted to the old dead.net site reappear on the new site? For instance, I don't see any reviews for the Live from the Cow Palace set. I also find that some items in the catalog lack contents info (lists of tunes). Would that be from all the rigmarole involved in getting the new site up, or...?

Is there any news of anything new coming out? Seems like the cobwebs are growing on the vaults lately. Up until a couple of years ago they were releasing a minimum of 5 or 6 CDs/DVDs a year. I'm beginning to lose interest because of the lack of output or even news of pending releases.

When did 3FTV come out? Wasn't it the end of July? Should be by the end of October if their planning on four per year. But who said anything about four per year! It'd be nice. What would be cool is if the eventually forthcoming release had DP37 on it! That would surely improve everyone's mood a tad.

Echoing Spacebrother's comments, I too have been disappointed in the dearth of official GD releases over the last 2 years. Since DP 36, which was released in 2005 I think, we have had only 2 releases, the Fillmore '69 boxed set and 3FTV. While the boxed set is GREAT, I don't quite understand while a second edition hasn't been made available, or even why it had to be a limited edition to begin with. As for 3FTV, quick run throughs of what would eventually become great tunes don't appeal to me. What shows would I like to see? Wow, I don't know, just about anything from 1969 or 1972-1978, and any fine show from the Brent era. It is easier to say what shows I don't want. I know this is going to be extremely unpopular, but I think the Europe '72 shows are extremely OVERRATED. And even if the shows aren't overrated, what with the original Europe '72, Hundred Year Hall and Steppin' Out, isn't that tour already well represented? Of course, I would like to see more fall '72 shows, and we all know that tour has been well represented (9/17,21,27), so what do I know? I'm also not into the post-Brent releases.

well Dstache, to fair them there was Cow Palace too.. I liked that m0stly, but it sounded a bit flat and sterile to my (admittedly way past their best) ears Anyway since the Tapers Section has adopted such a new upbeat, music-focused peace and love type vibe where can an inveterate whiner like me hang out these days? Really it is truly disappointing that the 'Official Announcements' forum here is such an empty, space right now, gathering dust over the past 3 months. This site (esp the request list forum) is full of good ideas. Has the organisation nothing to say to us? No feedback? Not even a teeny weeny thank you.............maybe just a little light....a tiny tease.....please...someone... ....Hello ....Hellooooooooooo

Correct, Cosmicbadger, forgot about the '76 New Year's Eve show. Let me also add that Rockin' on the Rhein is another Europe '72. I actually listened to most of that show this weekend and it is a fine show.

Whatever happened to this release? I first saw it at Best Buy, and I know I'd seen it on the site prior to the transition, but since then it seems to have vanished from the face of the Earth. I can't even seem to track down a copy on eBay.

I mentioned Hundred Year Hall in my 9/26/07 rant above, Bob. I was saying that the Dead should NOT officially release any more Europe '72 because that tour was so well-represented. And then I go and receive your Europe '72 Eurovine (see the Vines forum for those not in the know) as well as relisten to some of the official releases, and ... I don't know anymore. Yeah, it is a well-represented tour, and it deserves to be.

I was rather new to downloads back when these came out and made the mistake of buying and downloading the higher quality of MP3's before the old store closed and saved the artwork as well. Unfortunately, I had to wipe my computer and lost it all. I' going back and buying them all in FLAC but now it looks like the artwork is missing. Any chance that they'll put it back up?

While Europe '72 is nice, I agree that the Fall is even BETTER. They've already officially released 3 shows from it, 9/17, 9/21 & 9/27. I have a nice copy of 9/28, another fine show and a not so nice copy of 9/24 (GREAT Dark Star, don't even notice quality of recording isn't that great). Oroboros says he has a better copy of 9/24. I would like to add another show or two and create a nice Cream Filling # 2 vine.

The 9/30 Wash DC show isn't even in the Compendium, had to look on Deadlists. How is the sound quality? Compendium doesn't list many Oct shows with quality SBDs. I have a few Nov shows that were part of that big batch I acquired a while back. Hven't listened to one of them. I know my 11/17 Wichita isn't very good, even the Compendium lists an A SBD and mine sure isn't it.

For getting a bit off topic. I'll get us back on-Release More Fall '72!!! Please do not make it a compilation Road Trips unless what you are releasing is all that exists in the vault from those particular shows, or what is left out is atrocious.

The St Louis, Cleveland and Cincinatti shows have amazing Dark Stars with a Phil Bass Solo, if my memory is working correctly. As far as i am aware all that is available is Dark Star>Sugar Mag, but that is well worth searching out. this could be an idea for another vine Bob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Spanish Jam

The following was posted on the Rock Revival Blog http://rockrevivaltripleh.blogspot.com/2008/01/grateful-dead-winterland… MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2008 In May 2008 a 9-cd set will be released called Winterland 1973: The Complete Recordings. This captures the Dead in their hometown of San Francisco at one of the most fertile points in their career, they had perfected the art of the jam, could play country, and could tip you off the edge of the world into space with the notorious "Dark Star". These albums are of excellent remastered quality, check dead.net for more details on ordering. I don't know where they're getting their info from - just wish Rhino would make some kind of announcement so we can set off the fireworks.

Over the past months several people have requested the the cover art and details be restored to the GD store download site but without any luck. These covers were all available on the old deadnet site and so they must exist somewhere. May I add my voice to those asking for these to be kindly restored..it may even encourage more people to buy the music.

I've seen this as an alternate title to "One From The Vault" in bootleg form. I always knew it as "Make Believe Ballroom" but I'm wondering what this title means? Urubouros Deedni Mublasaron Backwards I see "noras ALBUM INDEED soruoburu" but I have no idea if I'm not so something there and this doesn't appear to be a foreign language I recognize. Anyone know where that title comes from?
