I got a feeling Euro heads were not included due to shipping costs. Just a hunch. I doubt there was any sinister plan to not include them. However if Critter can get another contest going I think it would be great to include our friends from across the sea. However I doubt Badger is super interested in "winning" one of my shows since I would bet he has nearly everything I have. If not, well then he could get hooked up for sure.

I could definitely supply shows (non-commercial of course) in wav format on CD's as a prize if you come up with a contest.

If you missed some Downloads or want to turn someone on to them they are still available.
Note below is from dead.net/30Days/archive
The music of The Grateful Dead is meant to be shared and enjoyed by everyone. That's why we created the 30 Days of Dead. We at Dead.net realize that it was sometimes a little tougher than it should have been for you to download the music (especially that first week - sorry!, so we thought it only right that we give everyone a second chance to get every second of the music. It's the kind thing to do.
Until the evening of December 8, 2010, we will keep this page and all of the links to the music live so that everyone has the chance to get and enjoy all of the songs.

Not to mention all the free streaming that Taper's Sections/Dead Hour have here on Dead.Net

nanabool....it's hard to raise 3 boys (wow) with 2 much less alone. You'll find funny stories about deadhead/nondeadhead marraiges in the forum here as well that might make you smile. Glad you found your home....but don't forget that archive.org has 1000's (way more) of shows on the computer you can listen to as well. It's truly a great resource. Just go here and look up the Grateful Dead ![]()

thanks kindly for thinking of us overseas heads for any new unoffical contest.
I too doubt there is a sinister plan, just an isolationist attitude and recurrent lack of consideration for the past 4 years. Inflated shipping prices, rejected credit cards, exclusion from contests, exclusion from special offers, exclusion from deadnet store downloads and now this subscription farce etc etc. Everytime it seems to be getting better there is some new foul up. It's too dumb to be a plot, but it sure is hard work sometimes to be a foreign deadhead. Still we are used to it, while you folks were riunning around collecting ticket stubs we were waiting year on year on year for a visit from our favourite band. And we have become very resourceful and hooked up with just about everything, even from the most surprising places. ;-)
