Stoked to see Dave was fishing in the chat video. Caught a small, quick glimpse of that reel and oh-oh, what I want to know....where'd you get that Dave? Who made it?and may I come fishing with ya sometime??
:O)

I think the guy with the 10" reel was lying and trying to compensate for something, but what do I know.

Really looking forward to this show hitting my mailbox.
Another historical show in Philly's phinest oriphice.

Setting aside my nickels for next years Dave's Picks series.
Taking bets on next years release volume. I'd suggest there is room for a 25% increase to 25k numbered copies, but historically the bumps have been smaller in those "Days Before Johnny Checkers".

If you've missed out, just watch for an announcement around the holidaze for next years sub. Just do it, dude.
I'd say marketing has hit their mark just exactly perfectly.

Thanks Pink, Dave, and Dead.net!!

BobT, I think the 7" and 10" are just the diameters of the reels of tape. I think 7" and 10" reels were the most common sizes. The width and speed of the tape during recording would affect the recording quality, but the 7" or 10" would just relate to the quantity of tape on the reel. So I would expect that the different size reels don't mean they are from different sources.

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will provide a better answer.

The answer should be clear, don't provide a diatribe, just subscribe.

The subscription is cheaper than buying each individual release. If you subscribe you won't need to keep track of emails or release dates. If you don't want a particular release, you can follow the example of the folks on this thread and give it away, or you can sell it and defray the cost of the releases you keep. Personally, if it wasn't for the resale market I wouldn't have some of the series from the years before I realized the innumerable benefits of subscribing. I'm not a reseller, but I really don't get the hate for those who are - they undoubtedly subscribe, probably multiple subscriptions, and that helps keep this whole enterprise going. If you subscribe, you will get a copy no matter how many folks are scalping their copy. If you don't subscribe and miss out on a release, you might be glad to pick up a copy from a reseller. Either way, the answer is to subscribe. Unless the point is just to complain about something that you could easily remedy.

So one source is from a 7" reel and one is from a 10" reel, does that mean two different sources were recording the same concert live? I know this is a returned Betty board. Confused.... Thanks Bob t

I was able to place my order at about 2:53 PM Eastern Time.
Reading through the comments, it appears that wissinomingdeadhead snagged 2 copies, one for himself and another to give away to a DeadHead who's down on their luck and/or health. If WissoDH got 2 copies, I hope he gives one away with a note saying not to resell on an auction site.
Great idea, if this is correct.

Speaking of extra copies of these wonderful Dave's Picks, I've got an extra copy of
"Dave's Picks 27: BSU Pavilion, Boise State University, Boise, Idaho 9/2/83" #9992
STILL SEALED.
All I'm asking here is that DaP 27 be used as a gift and NOT TO BE RE-SOLD anywhere. It's for the DeadHead who's down on their luck/health and want's to hears some 80's Grateful Dead or any Dead for that matter.
Also good for that newbie who wants a 1983 GD show.
TO BE GIVEN AWAY FREELY.

Sure, you sell out of 20,000 copies, many of which will show up for resale at twice the cost, but in the process you create ill will... if you can't give repeat customers a reasonable amount of time to buy a new release on the day you put it up for sale, you're going about things wrong...there's no limited seating here, and Jerry Garcia isn't playing live...

Cool Butthole Surfers album, cool lyrics for the title song.
...The so-called weirdos in this country stand as completely freaked out by the normal man as the normal man is freaked out by the weird masses reaction to him...
Sometimes the funky weirdness of the Butthole Surfers really hits the spot.

Stoked to check out DaP32, I can't get enough of '73.

PM MaryE, she will help you out. As for the BluRay not playing on your player, you are not the first person to note this, not sure how it gets/got resolved.

I can say, and this will not make you happy, I had a similar issue with my BluRay player about ten years ago with certain movies. Some would play, some wouldn't.. I finally bought a new one, 3d too, I think for like $80 and it sung my blues away. I don't know what the copy protection algorithms are, but I suspect the complexity and periodic updates might be contributing factors.

Feel free to reach out, if there is something I can do to help.. I will.

As for weirdness, I take that as a badge of honor. ..but Charlie3.5 is as rational and pragmatic as they come around here. Now where did I put that adel adel, it's way past supper time.
