    Suggestion for a Dave's Pick (More 80s Dead, please)

    Been digging through Archive.org and saw a show I remember from the good ol' days of cassettes. October 10, 1982 Frost Amphitheatre show. A lot of good songs on there well performed. Might make for a good official release from Dave?
    To that end, how about more shows from the 1980s. Love the 70s picks, but I cut my teeth on mid to late 80s dead and would love to hear some crispy 1980s shows...

    Just throwin' it out there!

    http://www.dead.net/show/july-4-1987 & Bob Dylan I know the setlist mentions his last name as having helped with the sound check, as well as his singular voice when he starts singing, but I think that “Guest Vocalist” or “Guest Appearance”, or some such statement at the first of the “Notes” section would be much more helpful than making us deduce for ourselves his presence. Not to mention the absolute absence of his first name. We wouldn't want anyone to assume y'all are trying to make us believe Dylan Ryder sat in with The band (Dylan Thomas (though I guess he could have 'attended' had his casket been exhumed)). Sorry. The places my mind goes...

Thanks in advance, Marinus

it's not! Just got a spectacular example of the mass exodus bug, only all the people bailing were Guests. Remains to be seen how that one's going to work out. But still, it kinda sorta works and it's good to have back. Stuman, yes, this is one of the areas known to be a bit surreal. For those just joining us, if you enter a chat room and suddenly 50 people leave the room, IT IS NOT YOU! It is a weird software issue. We're looking into it. Thank you.

I was just kicked out of chat room for misbehaving.What is that about? At least let me misbehave before I get kicked out. Maybe I was thinking about misbehaving. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

I just got kicked out of the chatroom for using the "a" word. The "a"word?! I was brought up on that word. Is it bad? Needless to say, I'm embarassed. Sorry to anyone that is offended by the word a**hole. I've read much worse in there. What are the rules?

that's a very interesting data point, though who knows what's connected to what as far as all this misbehavior. I'm with Bob, I'm starting to feel left out because I clearly haven't misbehaved enough.

I will add ... that allowing Guest to enter the chat room is odd because it would seem to me that you would want folks to register before granting access to the chat room. But then again, do you want folks registering and then not using dead.net. I noticed that guests will appear and then after certain amount of time, the system does like a 'clean cycle', perhaps kicking folks that have been inactive for a certain time period. During this cycle, you will see your name as 'left the chat room' and then followed by 'has joined the chat room'.

from the newest member of the misbehaver's club. I went to the room, and I was the only person listed. The two other names came up. So I posted "Oh boy! More names in the list." I guess that was too sarcastic for Mr. Server. He's one strict taskmaster! Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

as that Chinese place in SF that was a big tourist attraction solely because one of the waiters was a true artist at showering customers with abuse. Or maybe as that Monty Python bit about insults.

I think the place you're referring to was called Sam Wo's. The waiter's name was Edsel Wong, and the 'chow fun' (a rice noodle dish) there was/is the best in the city. I haven't been there in a while though... I saw the place roasted on Conan's show when he was broadcasting from S.F. a few years ago...

Sometimes when I enter the chat room, the type of the ongoing conversation is grey-very faint, and sometimes is black like here in the threads. Does anybody know why this is? Also people seem to be signed into chatroom who are not there-for example I logged out about an hour ago, logged back in-checked the chatroom, and am no showing as visiting there twice. Again anybody know why? And last question is that when I type a message when type is grey-is this visible to the others, as I can see my words in red, but nobody answers.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

I think that this happens when a certain amount of time has passed since anyone has posted anything new to the chat. It may also be a clue that there really isn't anyone else there, despite who's listed. Likewise, posts from other users appearing in black are probably relatively recent. Anything that you post should be able to be seen by anyone else who goes there. I believe that each user's posts appear in red only to them. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Just noticed that "misbehaving" also can mean being quiet for too long. Got kicked out twice when I went to the restroom-so must be some sort of timer thing.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

the chatroom is becoming a bit of test of patience right now. Its just me and the dog for the next 3 weeks and its fun to keep an eye out for buddies in the chat room while working on reports and such. but You get kicked if you do not post every 2 minutes or so (but cheeky experiments today show that you can cuss as much as you like :-)...(you know who you are ;-)...) Also no one knows who is in the chatroom without going there so we all keep missing each other..but cannot stay in there without being booted. Any chance of a 'who's in the chat room' list in the sidebar or even better a pop up window so we can chat and do other stuff too? How that happens is way beyond my tech understanding so I have no idea if such things are feasible and practical. But if they are then it would be nice ...

second them. Has been kinda frustrating-some of us spent parts of last weekend having a conversation after the other guys were already offline-as we kept missing each other, due to slow posts, or the "in the chatroom" list not showing accurately who had actually already exited the chat room, or other such wacky things.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.
