Welcome back!

Whether you're new here or a longtime resident of Dead.net, you may want a bit of assistance getting your bearings.

In the navigation bar at the top of the page:

The Store is the place for official Grateful Dead merchandise. It's the place to order things, and also launching pad for a lot of lively discussion, mostly in the thread for the most recent release.

Archive includes photos, artwork, memorabilia, etc. from the Grateful Dead's long history.

News is the place for announcements from Dead.net

Dead 101 has information about band and family members

Community is home to tape trading, tour tales, ticket exchange, numerous discussions and recommendations of everything from bands to books, and more.

But wait, where did that feature go?

Looking for Chat? Recent Posts? You'll find them in a menu that appears if you hover your cursor over your avatar photo up there in the upper right.

If you get confused...

Listen to the music play. But if that doesn't help in the moment, send a PM to marye and we'll do our best to assist. Thanks!

Believe it or not

Believe it or Not is in Box of Rain(the book.) I'm inclined to make a song out of it. Is there a tune to it, and, if not, I'll compose one. Is there anything I need to know before doing so? --Uncle Fred

I'll never be the dead.net's backdoorman again!

Let somebody else provide the witty, non-dead comment.

Smoothing out (again)

Well, the giant 4x or 6x screen is gone and there is now only a bit of newness to go through. Not that bad. However, the golden zenith of dead.net has been reached, never to be seen again, with it's warm tones and textures and (ugly) copyrighted pictures (unless you, like Jackson, thought these over-sized marks were cute.) It was cool. It was a trip. Now, it's reduced to ugly and boring and for sale.... The items therein, that is. Rhino's contract is up this year, right? (Sighhhh!)

well, it's working for me on a 13" laptop screen

so if you could be more specific as to your issues, browser, and OS, that would be helpful. Thanks.

Basic navigation doesn't work

Or it does work if you have a giant sized screen. Looking at dead.net and interacting with it is no longer an enjoyable experience. This happens with every computer I use. It's been happening since the two stores combined into one website. I wish somebody would fix it as it is practically unusable now and I'm sure I'm not the only person who is having this problem.

Revision

marye, you need to go back to your first post in this forum and revise your first line. For older ones like myself it's real confusing.....if I was a newbie here I probably would have gotten stuck there.

tigerlily, you are correct

got to agree, I mean who did this, somebody who obviously knows nothing about the dead, didn't even know est. date, I know it will fall on deaf ears, but you've got to fix this, fire the company who created this bland piece o' crap and get someone, anyone else to do it.

WilfredTJones pointed out in another forum that in lieu of the My Recent Posts option, you could hit My Account and then select Track. Works just lovely. Thought maybe it should be posted here...

My Shows

Apparently you don't find it.
I asked the same thing, received a reply stating it wouldn't be long, "they're working on it" but it looks like it isn't going to happen.

Where do I add my 'Shows…

Where do I add my 'Shows Attended' ? Thank you!

Changing mailing address

How do I change my mailing address? There's nowhere in My Profile that has my current address, just email and password. Don't want to miss my Dave's Picks subscription.
Thank You!

Frisco

send me a PM with the info and I'll see if I can get things adjusted. We don't want you to miss out either.

Is anyone else having…

Is anyone else having trouble with the store?

Trying to Order Dave's Picks bu the order page just hangs at the end of the process - no confirmation page

Shows attended...?

Hello,
Where can I find the place to input the shows that I attended?
Thank you.

Anyone answer yet...?

Hi,
My name is Joe.
Has anyone answered you yet?

Input tool for shows attended is under my account in the drop down menu on the top right of the screen. Make sure to post some highlights of your favorites around, maybe your top highlights so we can all check them out. Thanks. Jeff

-edit- Just checked, and the tool may not be functional at the moment.
-edit 2- Just checked again and the means to check a show as attended is on each show's dedicated page. You can click a show as attended there. Just enter the show date in the search bar on the top right. I hope this helps!

Hi! My name is Sophia!

dead.net/playinintheband-- cannot access interactive page
