    How about some newer shows? Please?

    To Dave M, and powers to be;
    Dave please, I know 1977 is a great year, so every show needs release. Unfortunately, I was only 11/12 and my parents did not do Dead. Before I get old and die, please release more Vince, and every Bruce and Vince Show. We know all of this great stuff is there. I just dont wznt another 20 years to go by before I can relive Shoreline, Vegas 2 years, and Oakland Coliseum. I beg of you man..

    Ticketmaster Pre-sales Issues - 2021 Shows

    Hello!
    I'm so beyond frustrated. I had tix for last year's show in MI, but of course it was cancelled.

    So, like so many, my friends and I were over the moon when I saw they were touring this year. A couple of us signed up and verified for the presale for your Sept. 10, 2021 show at DTE, which began this morning at 10 am.
    I logged in early to verify my payment info was correct and current. I was very early in the queue. My turn came and I put my four tix in the cart and entered my presale offer code, then chose my payment and the Ticketmaster site went wonky and botched the payment process. When I tried to do the payment again, TM returned with tix were no longer available for that offer code.
    There was no option to get another offer code. There was, at that point, no options for any recourse. There is no option to speak with anybody at TM.
    The same thing happened to my friend who was also trying for our tix.

    Truly, those of us who had tix for last year's show would likely have been happy to have simply held on to our tix for a later event, rather than have our tix for the 2020 show cancelled.
    Also, with all the bad experiences TM gives customers (This isn't my first rodeo.) I was surprised that The Dead chose TM to sell tix to their events, rather than an alternative, like many other jam bands have opted for.
    I can see, from the TM and Dead social media forums, that many heads are having the same failures happen when trying to purchase tix for these shows.

    Is there anybody who can help, please? I sure can't get any assistance from TM.
    We, my friends and I, went from huge excitement to extreme heartbreak in a matter of a couple of minutes.

    Kind regards, Barbara

    To all of my follow DeadHeads looking to enjoy the music in Mexico next year, I am right there with you! To all my fellow DeadHeads who got shut out because of either high costs or 'technical issues,' please know that you can book rooms at Moon Palace Cancun DIRECTLY and for a fraction of the cost. The music will fill the air and I really do not think mandatory ear plugs for folks who did not purchase packages is really an enforceable plan. You do not have to be wealthy or stealthy to be able to hear the words and songs given to us over the years - or at least, in my opinion, you shouldn't have to be.

    Please Make this into a Poster

    I was born and raised in New York City as a deadhead, but one thing I've never been able to find in any store or online, is a Grateful Dead Nightfall of Diamonds poster. I have always wanted to put that beautiful gleaming, New York skyline, with the words 'Grateful Dead' on my wall since I was 11. Can you guys please make that live album cover into a small square poster, or even expand upon it with all that creativity you guys have, spice it up and make it trippier. You could even make it similar to the Grateful Dead Dead Set poster that already exists. This would be so awesome and I feel like so many people would buy it. Thanks for the consideration!

Long Strange Trip Blu-Ray bonus disc 2 from Dead.Net that I received today (11-19-18) is not recognized by my Blu-Ray player. Disc 1 with the entire documentary plays fine, as do all my other Blu-ray discs. Cleaning player and disc did not help. Is it just me or are others having the same problem?

Does anyone think/Know if the GD performance @ Woodstock will ever be released? Does anyone know the story of why it hasn't been released so far?

Does anyone know if/when GD's performance @ Woodstock will ever be released? And why hasn't for 50 years?

the entire performance was somewhat cursed and I don't recall the band ever having a good word about it. I seem to recall Phil having some stories in interviews way back when. I don't know what else might be going on. On a slightly related front, nice Jorma interview in JamBase: https://jambands.com/features/2019/02/03/jorma-kaukonen-discusses-woodstock-50-a-potential-hot-tuna-record-and-more/
