    RHINO how stupid are you
    Yes someone from the administration please read all the fan mail in the taper section. Does anyone in your organization have a college degree or business experience? What's the percentage of people who actually respond that are pissed? You were creating very exciting weekly discussions on dead music; people were visiting the site and spending money. Now you've pissed us all off again I might add. Good strategy. Piss off the people who would buy something from you. Oh wait you haven't released anything, well the 12-31-76 was nice but the polished vault releases were poor choices. You put out the 73 box set or more E72 we will buy it and come back and maybe forgive and forget. What's the plan with the vault you purchased? You going to sit around and polish the tapes and release starbucks crap or put out some music. I mean real music; get someone who knows a good release not that 2-19-71 BS we already have.

    Check out the feedback in August 20-26 Tapers Section
    Has anyone in the GD organization read the phenomenal amount of complaints in this week's Tapers Section? I don't think anyone is happy about the downloads suddenly becoming streaming only. No advance notice to us fans. What gives?

    The Dead have licensed their musical work to Rhino Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group. That's who operates this site, and also the online Store. So while there may be the occasional snafu with an order, the Store itself is on the up and up and your credit card info should be safe!

    Does the Grateful dead run their own store or do they farm their work to another company. I recently placed an order as a birthday present to myself for DP's 29 and the order was apparently lost on the way to UPS. I would like to try again, I just wanted to make sure my credit card info was being safely used.

    It seems to be working fine
    It seems to be working fine the way it is in my opinion.If people make their own topics it might end up like other boards where some folks deem it fit to mention their every bowel movement. Then the level of quality discussion gets buried under mountains of dross. It's a sad thing when u go to the effort of posting a thoughtful post in a topic that disappears under an avalanche of twitter regarding the latest rubbish on tv or silly circle jerks stroking each others egos with fluffy topic posts. Just my two cents... :) Are you kind?

    joshpbs - we've been around the block a few times on this, and we keep ending up in the same place. Chaos-management is the order of the day around here. I often wonder what the board would look like if everyone could create their own topics at will. What kinds of topics would there be? My personal fear is a million all-about-me bloggy type topics, which is fine in some places, but doesn't seem to fit the vibe around here. Was there a conversation you were wanting to have that you don't see a place where it'd fit? Please, drop us a note, or an email, or say something right here, and we'll see what we can do to accomodate you. It's been working pretty well so far, and the chaos, even in the wee hours of the beginning of the new site, has been pretty manageable. Things are getting better as the kinks are getting worked out, and I'm excited about how the site is shaping up!

    well
    If the program you are running only allows staff to make topics, maybe try making a new member group that all members are that allow the making of topics. If you do this so you can monitor the content better, you should think about making a mod for each board. Just a suggestion.

    Really, we've been known to drop the ball sometimes, but we TRY to be responsive... DNC (DeadNet Central) is one place where regular users can't start topics, and it seems to rock right along. For now at least, it's a chaos management issue, mostly, and the software does not support having one area where people can start topics and another where they can't. All of which said, if you want a topic on something, speak up! In the What Else Should We Be Talking About topic, a PM to izzie or me, anything along those lines usually works. We check in at various times during the day and evening, most of the time.

Same here - a balmy 37 degrees last I checked. Better that than the cold, ice and snow we had the prior 10 days. Kind of a warm-up actually...we were having weather portentous of an early start to winter. The cold will be back though. More snow and I think I'll be strapping on the snow shoes.

and they sent my Dave's 23 to the wrong address. As soon as I got the shipment confirmation email, I called and emailed with my change of address and was assured over the phone that it would arrive at my new address. As it turns out, they shipped it to my old address and now I have to track it down somehow at my old apartment building. It was probably placed in my old mailbox which is likely now someone else's mailbox. I changed my address with the U.S. Post Office well over a month ago, but I guess when UPS delivers through the USPS (as indicated by the tracking history) they don't pick up your address change? I emailed customer service today again and they said basically, "Sorry, your shipment is too far along in the order process to change or add." Too far along in the order process? Really? Do you think so? Oh yeah, you've already shipped to the wrong address this last Friday after I informed you immediately of my address change. Customer service also stated that if the package is sent back to them, they'll then forward it to me. So now I have to depend on the kindness of strangers to get my numbered edition that has since sold out? Um, thanks. Remember when they would confirm your subscription address? Why did they stop doing that? I've bought so much stuff from this site over the years. I'm a totally Dead-icated fan. I think a little more care and respect is in order here. At least enough to get my subscription to the right address. Thanks for reading my rant. Peace.

That does seem to have gone out a bit overenthusiastically. All should be good if you're logged in and posting, but if I hear otherwise I'll post it.

Hey Now! Went to download today's Jam Of The Week and the tile is gone, did you remove this feature? If so can I put in a vote to bring it back? I have been collecting these since you started and don't want to stop now. Please reconsider as this is my favorite part of the site!

Shorter than a Government Shutdown I see that the Jam of the Week is back - I feel so much better now and wondered why I didn't be like Alfred E. Neumann and say What Me Worry? It's just that the tile was gone too! And back it is with over an hour of '73 Dead from the Kiel Auditorium. Thanks, love these jams and look forward to them every week.

Be Kind

Hello,

This might seem like an odd question, but have you ever reconsidered listing Allen Ginsberg's site in the Family Links section in light of his association with NAMBLA?

In case you don't know, NAMBLA is a pedophile advocacy organization that has spent decades trying to repeal the age of consent and enable its members to victimize children. I'm not smearing them; they identify themselves as pedophiles.

Ginsberg openly supported this group for years, claiming to do in defense of free speech. I'd like to think that nowadays, we can perceive how disingenuous that excuse is. There's nothing democratic, liberal, progressive or anti-authoritarian about the sexual abuse of the most vulnerable members of society. And while Ginsberg is gone now, NAMBLA is still around and still using Ginsberg's membership to legitimize their abusive agenda.

I realize that Ginsberg's art has been important to a lot of people, but does that mean we need to immortalize him in perpetuity? Many people close to me have been victimized by people like Ginsberg, and it saddens me to see him posthumously propped up by the Dead organization.

I've heard rumblings that the GD and Nike have come together to design a shoe. Will this shoe be available for purchase on the website?

I was wondering the same thing as I am not a member of any of those services. Maybe they could stream it or offer it on the site. Perhaps there's some $ getting in the way? That's my guess because it's usually what gets in the way.

Or what remnant of it remains, and I guess principle are what it's about for me marye. It's seeming more and more pathetic by the day though. Maybe I should just give in so I can get more focused ads. :-)

I guess the term free is just relative now. Or, it still is relative. Oh well, I guess I will just listen to the reports of how it sounds. Enjoy streaming public! It is cool that it exists and I am happy for those folks that are grooving to it! :-P

I will have to consider subscribing later. Until then, I will live vicariously through everyone else's fun.

Are you going to make more of the Dave's Picks limited edition poster? I am disappointed that long-time annual subscribers weren't notified of this, I've bought every Dick's Picks and Dave's Picks since they started. I've had the annual subscription as long as they've been offered. Would love to get one and frame it for my listening room. Any chance of that happening? On the secondary market they're priced at ~$900. C'mon...

Want to know how to make your dead freak friend happy? Gift them a grateful dead mask with the Skull and Roses Bertha skeleton displayed prominently all over it. Or, just create one for yourself!

Have a Grateful Day and make yourself happy! Shout out to my friend Mike for the stylish face covering! :-)

P.S. Got all the boats! Proving once again, me no roboto.

Hi ! For the past few years I periodically fill out the " who are you where are you ...?" yet have never received a single email from this site . Ill assume it's not just me ? Is there a way to actually get email notifications ? Also I hope to see the Advent calendar again in 2021 :)

Check your spam/junk box for the emails.

When you buy something from this site check the box at the bottom of the form that you want to receive emails.

I recently received my Dave’s Pick Winterland 2/23/74 #42, however, I was never shipped DP #40 from Noblesville.

We have also recently moved and I don’t see where I can change my address on Dead.net. Please advise.

Many Thanks,
