Disc's

I Have Got Over 300 Sbd's You Name It I Have Got It, Or Can Get It. Except For The Elusive Egypt ,Would Love A Good Soundboard Of That Show. Can Anyone Help.Love To Trade.

Have Egypt, but....

I know a guy who was at those shows. I got copies of them (I would have 1st or 2nd gen).I have a dual cassette deck but its seen too many hours. Im still figuring out my setup on taking tapes and converting them to digital (see my post in tech discussions). Let me know if you get the digital SBD if its out there. Eric

Egypt

I've got a good soundboard copy of the last night in Egypt, 9/16/78.I'd be more than willing to trade you if you like. "The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean."

Egypt

Hunter - What about adding that to the vine? I also would like to get a copy. My aud tape is great but a SBD would be awsome! Eric

Egypt

Good idea. I'll get to that just as soon as I get the Hampton shows in the mail. Should be today or tommorow.Rock on. -Hunter "The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean."

Woo Hoo!

The best words you can hear (other than I love you Daddy) is " shows are in the mail".... Eric

Tape converters

I'm glad the subject of tapes came up because I, like everyone else here, has tapes sitting around that are gathering a lot of dust.I saw a tape converter recently and was wondering if anyone had experimented with these. It plugs into your computer and converts the audio to mp3 files. I'm not sure how it would work with Dead shows though as I'm sure the converter would have difficulty picking out tracks with either an audience bootleg or songs running into each other. Anyone have experience with these?? Here's a link if you are interested: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/7a8d/ To reiterate, I have never tried this device nor am I promoting it in any way. Just wondering.

Ill check it out...

Thanks Operator for that info! Ill look up that link and take a look see.. Eric

Try this device to copy your tapes to MP3's/CD's

I don't own it but it looks like it will do the job. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/7a8d/ Let me know how it works for you.

ISO Ratdog show from 7/9/07

ISO Ratdog show from 7/9/07 Central Park NYC...any help out there? I have some tapes and CD's to trade or would do a B&P.

I have nothing...

Alright, I'm hooked. I'm a little too young to have a real collection of my own but that needs to change. Anyone want to help my obsession?

Oh yeah?

Anyone want some free tapes (200 or so). Mostly SB. I live in the triad area of NC. I doubt it would be economical to mail these so local pickup is best. Reply here if interested.

Caution

...shall we go, you and I while we can... While I'm not sure about the Legion of Mary stuff referred to above yet, the Electric Theater material has been officially released as a Dick's Picks and therefore MAY be the same recording. If it is, then you gotta think about copright issues.

Man, would I love ...

... to give away my cassette tapes. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of hours of GD and all kinds of other music as well. Just don't have the room anymore - the collection takes up 4 shelves in our daughter's already cluttered playroom.I made this offer on another forum last year and a few people took me up on it: send me a return envelope with postage, and I'll send as many tapes as I can fit into it. Usually, I can send 8 tapes for the price of a priority mail stamp, but if I send without cases, I can fit even more. I'd love to give the tapes to those who might enjoy them and free up some space here at home. I still listen to a ton of GD, but mostly on the computer these days. I don't even know if anyone wants cassettes anymore (I do know that there are some ways to transfer them to computer files, but I don't have the time). If you're interested, send me a message here or email chipwithrow@yahoo.com. I'll send you a partial list of what I have. "Folk rock for groovin families!" myspace.com/chipwithrow chipwithrow.com

Pulling my tapes together for conversion

I listed my tapes last night. I was appalled to find about 7 empty tape cases. I need to find some of the tapes, they were some of the best. Years ago, I had my best collection stolen from my car. My wails of gridf brought the neighbors running, they thought I had found my cat dead, seriously. I replaced what I could but.... The thought that the tapes were sold on the street and taped over made me sick. I've looked into transfering from tapes into my PC and then using a free download program to edit. Then I'll burn CDs.Then I can start trading, getting what I want and giving what someone else wants

cool free stuff

To all if you have not been ther nugs.net has a free stash of Ithink like 57 shows all great quality stuff in top corner where it says free stash all there to down load and burn. Many other artists as well phish gov mule Allmans Kellar williams Hipsters,tripstirs, real cool chicks,sir, everyone's doin' that rag

Looking for spring 1968

There seem to be no tapes in circulation from the brief east coast tour of April 19 (Thee Image, Miami) through May 11 (The Dome, Virginia Beach). Does anyone know whether these shows were taped? I would love to believe and hope that something from Thee Image Miami shows might surface (not the later Gulfstream Racetrack show). Portions of the undated 1968 tapes sound very familiar and have some unique features I remember from the Miami show. But if anyone can definitively say that none of the east coast shows were taped then I will stop analyzing the undated 1968 tapes to see if they might fit into the evolutionary progression of spring 68. Has anyone done a study of the undated 68 tapes to estimate where they ought to fit in? There seem to be some uniqueness of tempo, lead guitar jams and percussion that give me hope they could be snatches from around that time. There was also a free concert at Greynolds Park in Miami during their stay in Miami. I have often thought that since the tour was so short and since Miami was the first stop that maybe no one bothered to bring or set up the taping equipment. Any hope, guesses, leads will be greatly appreciated.

'68 Tapes

...shall we go, you and I while we can... Apparently, as of now, there are no recordings which reflect the dates you specified. That doesn't mean they don't exist, although they may not, in fact have been recorded, or the recordings may be lost, or they may exist in the vault, in which case, until there is transperency there, you'll never know. I'd suggest that you continue to listen to everthing around that time period, especially things that are date/location unspecific to see if you find anything. Provenence was not the top priority then, if you know what I mean. Also, keep an eye on the torrent sites, as little gems like this have a way of popping up frequently ( shows from 10/68 appeared recently).

crisis at tapers section

So with the apperent loss of the ability to download from the tapers section, I offer this. I have downloaded to CD, many of the sections selections, all date sensitive ( tried to keep all the 72's or 74's on a CD) Now I would love to offer these up for trade, but the question is will I be hassled by the powers that be?

I will take you up on that

OroborosI would love to trade for CD's of those years. I will send you a message on what I have to barter.

DTS 5/8/77 Show

I'm told this show is available on DVD Surround Sound. Deadlists sort of confirms this. Does anyone have info on this? And can I get a copy via trade or B&P. I have a pristine copy of this on cd if anyone needs it email me but if the DTS version is improved I would love to have a copy. Thanks

Tracking Down Shows

I'm looking to track down CD copies of particular shows that have significance to me personally. Any suggestions as to how I might be able to acquire any of the following shows (first two are most important)???...3/24/86 Spectrum, 9/17/93 MSG , 5/16/81 Cornell, 12/6/92 Tempe, 3/24/90 Albany. I don't have much to trade with other than some recently recorded Widespread Panic shows. Any suggestions as to websites where I might be able to download or trade for these shows??? Thanks for your help. A

Fred...

Times being what they are, I'm certainly not predicting what the future will bring on the subject, but for the moment I think your offering might be highly appreciated by many. If I hear otherwise at some point I'll speak up.

Shows

thethe, I got an AUD recording of 3-24-90 from archive.org Pelts, I got that DTS of 5-8-77 from etree. If you guys need help, drop me a PM. or e-mail me at deadrichard@charter.net Peace, Richard

your requests...

Thethe - I probably have those shows on cassette that if found Ill send you. However I bet you can find soundboards of them at some point on etree (to burn your own etc.) or at least listen to a stream of them on archive.org Eric

Hopefully help on the way!

Hey Guys, Gals- I wanted to ask anyone out there if I can begin again or to say try and re-establish a connection and collection of Dead shows. Back in 1990, I lost all of my shows (some 400 to 600 cassettes) and that loss was not under my control. I moved from the Midwest to the east coast at that time and have been here ever since. I fell out of the “scene” but kept the spirit and tunes alive, but issues kept me from doing any serious trading. My last show was Soldier Field ’90 and my 1st. was ’76 in Boston. Anyway, I’m looking for the opportunity to acquire shows again and get back into trading although I have nothing that anyone does not already have, i.e., some Dick’s picks, Beyond description, all the Dvd’s and other tidbits etc. I’ve garnered over the years. Obviously I have the internet but where I live in the mountains there is only dial up and this makes it a pain in the ass to do anything without waiting what seems like years for a download etc. I am aware that the digital age is here and shows are available on CDR and many people have transferred their shows to disk, kudos! If there is anyone out there willing to email me a list of shows and let me know what it will take to get some, that would be gratefully appreciated. I can send Cdr’s, postage etc. whatever you need, I’ll do. Email me at notchloft@aol.com Thanking you all in advance, Peace Andy Kohn

Tapes

Just starting my tape journey. I would be eternally grateful for any advice, I would be super willing to lay down some bass tracks as an exchange for any tapes! (i hope you play guitar! haha)... I bought some online and they were just taped shows from someone's computer or severely degraded...

It's just a Box of Tapes...

...I don't know who put it there? Actually, I did. Clearing out some old home storage and am offering them up for free (plus shipping). A bit more specifically, it's 55 audio cassettes of Grateful Dead (1969-1995) and 17 of various other bands (Garcia Band, Phish, Zero, etc.). I don't have a written list of them but I can email a photo showing the labels. Send me a private message here if interested. Thanks!

Bob/Phil improv teaching session(s)

IIRC Shortly after Jerry passed and the band retired their name, Bob and Phil held one or more sessions for Bay area high schoolers about improvising musically. Being Dead adjacent, I figure there must be tape(s) of the session(s). Is there any way to access these lessons? I'd love to pass them on to my high schooler to learn improvisation techniques. TIA
