    Actually, cc, I misspoke and as soon as I read my post..probably supposed to do that before it goes public..I thought, should have have left the "but" out. just a dumb typo...along with the usual cases of misspelled words......but grdaed73 is my online editor...he try's to be iknowyouriders also, but his anglo saxon dictionary is rated pg,oh well it's the effort that counts! ps- why am I hungry for tofu all of a sudden?

    this space
    this space, the forum, is way too hard to handle, way too big, too many topics... now that can not change, and shouldn't. just the way I see it. so perhaps, like some folks, I tend to just look at a few of the threads and only participate in those. If I recognize a name on the main forum screen, as the last poster, (like I just did now) I might take a poke around and see what was up. I do seriously think that the chat room takes a lot away from the forum. not that that is bad, but if people are busy chatting, they might not feel like posting up stories or whatever or continuing a day/week/month old dialog. for local reasons I suppose, I can not chat with my MacApple 'puter... so using that, I just have to use the forum. YES, the badger makes numerous good points and has some good idears, best of which is that the boys from the band should have a voice here should they choose to participate, and yes, I would love to have a last post first thing, or at least the ability to go to the last posts I saw. if it were possible to 'subscribe' to topics that might help, then if the search thing or 'show recent posts' or whatever would take you to where YOU were last time that would be a big plus. They have that feature over at deadnetcentral and it really helps navigation. nobody can be everywhere, and everybody can be nowhere. and??? ok, that train of thought just crashed. badger, oh badger, "This cue ain't straight in line" might be a gobsmacking topic, but knowing that you and I HAVE indeed walked some of the same streets, streets where the sunny side of the street is dark, (you know where) that might not really be 'cricket' alls I'll say is truth is stranger than fiction. and anyways, my cue is most certainly straight in line!! http://www.pechauer.com/ so there!

Hi Mary E, Is the store going to be adding in all the music that was available before the format change? There used to be a huge selection including all of the Europe 72 individual shows. I sure would like to order the 5/11/72 Rotterdam set. ~I am confused, just want to hear the music play!

even in the digital world, moving things from point A to point B takes longer than one would like. I mean, some things may be out of stock or discontinued in the normal course of things, but the fully stocked Store will be back. Thanks!!

I think it was a delight and easy to use and looked beautiful. Deadnet Central seemed like a plain vanilla experiment and the current format is more commercial and more poorly displayed and harder to use, not to mention more tracked (though not overly so) by those web sleuths. I guess Rhino still gets to give itself an award for best rock band web site but I sure wish we had the old format back.... Ahh well, you never know what you have till it's gone.

Hi, Maybe you do but I don't see it yet. But if you don't, can dead.net have a locals specific segment where local heads can connect in their respective communities? It would be great to see who is tuned in here in Edmonton, Alberta.

I find it sad that people are so addicted to Facebook that they have to make it a destination from this website. Facebook is collecting and collating every single word and fact you spit out. "So what," you might say. "I'm not doing anything wrong or I'm ashamed of. I have no skeletons in the closet and am always pleasantly surprised when people find me.". Did you ever think that Facebook, a publicly traded corporation, may be scooping data to sell to Lexus-Nexus, the premier sleuth out there. Perhaps you might have a few bucks and kids in school. Somebody does a search on you and Facebook info. collected with many other public records gives would-be kidnappers all the info. they need to snatch your kid for ransom. Maybe you are well-loved in your community now but use to be a bully without eve being aware of the old meaning of the term and somebody had been nursing a grudge all these years and now uses Facebook to find you and get revenge for something hideously silly, liked you knocked the books out of her had in 5th grade. There used to be a warning about how dead.net could track you. Laughable. No horror stories so far but I'm just waiting for the moron who bought his assault rifle in the parking lot of a gun show along with uranium depleted bullets after putting a GPS tracker on your car so they could take you out for not letting them dervish with you at the Frost in '83.... So have fun on Facebook kids, I'm sure I just paranoid!

Never put anything online that you wouldn't want to see on the front page of the New York Times. That, of course, was before Facebook, which caused another wise person to remark that the only Facebook privacy policy you need to know is: If It's Private, Don't Put It On Facebook.

Okay, folks.... We THINK that the long-missing pages of Tapers Section have been restored, notably many pages from 2008-2010. And from what we can tell, the links work, too. However, heads up that in some cases the pages have different names than they used to, so older links and bookmarks may break. If you encounter things not working on the TS pages, please send me the particulars. Thanks and happy listening to the restored tunes...

I haven't bought a cd from a mall in years it's either from this web site or amazon it seems. I happen to be on the fye web site and ducks picks 16 is available via pre order. With a release date of 9.2.14. Do you know if it will be a down load as well. I have it already but what a great show. I was hoping all the dicks pick series would make it to down load like road trips.if I posted in the wrong spot forgive me I am forum retarded.

Over the last few years, the DiP series has been rereleased an issue or 2 at a time in reverse chronological order by Real Gone Music (with a single exception so far, being volume 10 and the legendary 12/29/77 show) and sold through a variety of online retailers...I think I've picked up 6 releases that I was missing in that time (most recently the bodacious '73 show(s) on vol.18). Alternatively, all 36 installments are available for purchase in downloadable form on iTunes - so, knock yourself out! Incidentally, #15 (NEXT!) is the one I've been awaiting since this protracted rerelease process began...Englishtown...WOOT!!! (I like my physical media)/ good head's up post gd12 - no matter where it got hung!, kate

This morning, at 0525 EST, I made the impossible decision to euthanize my best friend and golden retriever Tate. He was only 5 1/2 yrs. old, but he slept by my bed, ran with me, went on daily hikes, swam in deep water with me, accompanied me on all errands, was well known in town to neighbors and merchants, and slept at my feet in the office when I took him to work. I note that our unprecedentedly successful thread on this forum in tribute to DaP11 has now been deleted, though I dearly wished to express my goodbyes to the "core" group of posters who made it thrive; you will not hear from me for some time as I recover from this incomprehensible loss. Thank you for your friendship. And please, say a prayer, send some good vibes, or just think of me and my lost Tate once in awhile. I will be back in due time./sincerely, kate

Golden Retrievers simply want to make us happy and will go to any lengths.I used to have a golden, his name was Zoot (Allures- Zappa reference) and he had a brother Garth (Gimble- Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman reference). Those boys were always in competition for the petting and the attention, or to jump off the dock to catch the Frisbee or to chase down a ball. It is so difficult when time to say goodbye to those friends. I am sorry for your loss. May Tate be retrieving that big Frisbee in the sky. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

As a few folks have pointed out, there were difficulties over the weekend getting files uploaded properly. This is now fixed and they're going to their appropriate destinations. We're working on the best way to get in touch with the folks for whom this did not work in just exactly perfect fashion, so stay tuned for the fix on that, but meanwhile, go for it (and let us know if you have trouble). Thanks!

Before I jump in to listening mode and am gone for all intent and purposes for the rest of the evening, I wanted to note a teeny glitch in my happiness: As I was attempting to rip my discs to iTunes on the computer, the third and final disc reported there are no song titles out there on the 'net to sync up with the songs on the disc. Not a huge deal, since there are only 5 songs and the names are right there on the disc and the sleeve. It's probably just a typo somewhere in the coding by whoever puts those titles up there to hook into the songs as they rip to the hard drive. As I said, "teeny glitch." I'm outta here, headed for the Finger Lakes.
