    In the cosmic tapestry of music, the Grateful Dead emerge as luminous constellations, their melodies weaving through the vast expanse of musical possibility. Their harmonies are like whispers from another dimension, carrying the listener on a journey transcending time and space. With each note, they paint vivid landscapes of emotion, inviting the soul to dance amidst the rhythm of existence. Through the psychedelic swirl of sound, they become more than mere musicians; they are alchemists, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, turning melodies into magic, and crafting hymns for the wandering souls of the universe.

    In the heart of their improvisations lies a profound sense of communion, a sacred bond between band and audience that transcends barriers of language and culture. The Grateful Dead concerts are not mere performances; they are ceremonies, where the collective energy of the crowd merges with the ethereal vibrations of the music, creating an ephemeral moment of unity. Like shamanic guides, they lead their followers on a voyage of self-discovery, urging them to explore the depths of their consciousness and embrace the interconnectedness of all things. In the symphony of existence, the Grateful Dead are eternal troubadours, serenading the cosmos with songs of gratitude and grace.

    Send a PM (message on drop down box) to site administrator MARYE. But you have posted so are you having to make a new password every time? I know the Store on the site has required a separate password recently to order stuff but some just log in as guest there. Good luck.

    Can’t order Here Comes Sunshine 17 cd box set

    I don't know if anyone from dead.net reads these but this website will not let me order the new boxset. I have tried as a guest and it doesn't take my order. I have tried using safari, chrome, and edge on a pc, MacBook, and iPhone with no luck. I have also used 3 different credit cards and PayPal and dead.net still will not take my order. I have ordered Dave's Picks and other boxsets in the past and I have never had an issue. Please take my money, I would like to order this!

Tried downloading Europe 72. Clicked all Download buttons, but Firefox only got about 8-10 of the songs. If this has happened to you, try the following: Contact Customer Service and explain the situation. Brings new meaning to the concept of immediate gratification! DeadNet Customer Service ROCKS!!!

Why don't any of the individual show threads get picked up by All Recent Posts? Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

I just found the jam for this week at about 7 p.m. Tuesday, and I started playing it. Then I did a little browsing, and when i tried to find it again I couldn't find my way back to it, so you can bet I am not turning it off until I have listened to the whole thing, which isn't such a bad thing to do in a motel in Wichita. And I am grateful for it, despite the difficulties. I'm not telling anyone what to do, but I wish folks would calm down a little before they go off on their rants. Maybe someone is doing all this for very little and we should just do our best to keep looking for things with patience. Box of Rain just started after China Cat/Rider. Nice, nice. I should add to the above, "Maybe you'll find direction around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you." That sure seems to be how it was for this jam with me this week. Thanks.

Winterland from 12/11/72 is a great listen. Unfortunately, you won't find it if you're logged-in.Log out and then select JOTW from Features.

Again with the masterful research, sir! Ted, my hat's off to you again. With some luck, that information you provided there may prove valuable to the the people (person? hamster?) behind the wheel here as they (she? it?) try to resolve the problem and prevent as many future ones. (Maybe it looks fine from their end because they don't have accounts at the site they're responsible for maintaining???)

Getting "page not found" when logged in, works fine after logging out. I logged back in to see if that "reset" the page...still got the error message logged in. I'll try not to use the word "log" in any form for the rest of the day...

Time warp...I just opened the site and the home page greeted me with the Warlocks Box announcement, its bundle with RT 3.4, and the WB vinyl box set. Checked the forums, went back to the home page and was transported back to today. I'm pretty sure it isn't April 1 today, but now I'm starting to wonder. If I can just figure out how to control this time-travel thing, I'll be having some kind of fun. Otherwise, this is the strangest thing that's happened to me so far today....

Hi - I was wondering if you could tell me which would be the best forum to try to identify a item from the Grateful Dead. My friend has this hookah that he was told was given to a man who helped the Dead set up their stages back in the 1960's-70's. The story is that someone from the band gave this to him. It is a bear head hookah and I can post pictures. It has two symbols on it, that my friend says identifies it to the Dead. I was wondering how do I post photos and which forum would be one I would have the best responses on. Thanks. Judy

would be to post the photos on your own site and post a link here. As for where to post, the best place would probably be the Your Own Storefront topic in the forums.

Thanks - but I didn't make this - I want help to identify it - isn't there a better forum that fans from the 60's or 70's might recognize this on ?

perhaps someone else has other suggestions. You might post a photo to Fan Photos and see if anyone has any thoughts.

post it in fan photos, title it "help identify", and it should show up in the forums, shouldn't it, marye?

although he's got it posted in Storefront now, so have at it. I misunderstood that the purpose was identification rather than vending, but hey, we'll work it out.

As before, clicking on "Shows & Lyrics" then offers the nav-link to "Shows by Year": http://www.dead.net/shows But now, no by-year folders appear on the page and instead only this text appears: "No shows for this date." Um, where'd them year-folders go? [Running Mac OSX 10.6.8, most-recent Firefox and Safari.]

Around the site when you don't know page-to-page if you'll still be logged in. Working on this one? I never appear to be logged in on the home page, sometimes yes and sometimes no in the forums. And even when yes in the "recent posts" listing, it can turn into "no" if I actually open up a topic. Help!

At around 5:30 this morning the two main E72 threads and the announcement about preauthorizing were not on the first page. Now I see they are. Maybe I got into that yak milk accidentally....

Mary, Over the past 3 days, I have been having terrible problems with loading any page on Dead.net. The "style" of the page is missing - only white background, no logo. Sometimes a box containing snippets of code and error information. I got this in different forms with both Firefox 6.0 and Mac Safari 5.1 on a Max OS 10.6.8. Today, after clearing caches, browsing history, and all website data and then resetting/restarting browsers, Firefox now works. But, Safari still does not render Dead.net correctly. Safari shows an error when attempting to download the page. This error is: "too many HTTP redirects" from "http://www.dead.net/sites/all/themes/deadnet/style.css" Clearly, the style sheet has been modified and now has a coding error - probably a self-referencing HTTP link. Please pass this along to the website coders. Thanks, Ed

Will we have a Tapers Section feature this week, as well as a new Trivia question? FYI, GD Radio, an internet radio station I listen to occasionally on Squeezebox, was wiped out over the weekend. It is based in Connecticut.

come on guys, for fuck's sake.there has been glitches on dead.net for a while now; especially the Shows section. why suddenly split into 4 or 5 pages instead of one listing for each year? and when it does eventually load there's a weird bug in the system. it's 2011; sort out the site that people want to use. i have never experienced this on ANY other site, large or small. get your shit together. for a band that used to invest in cutting-edge technology this is piss poor; archive and photo section continually stretches pictures or makes them disappear. what on EARTH is going on? the archive should be immaculate; some of the planet's crappiest artists have smooth, elegant websites that are head and shoulder's above this one. you have a magnificent library that is treated as some kinda college scrapbook. gone are the days when you led the way.

strange happenings in the Show & Lyrics section too; instead of one page for the individual shows in a year like before, now separated into 3 or 4, each taking way too long to load.also, photos in the archive going way outside the site frames. the archive and photo section really is the worst designed i've seen on a site. please take a tip from some of the photographer's of the Dead's site's and arrange in that way. it just makes all that rich history come alive.

Today the layout of the site (most notably the forums) has changed. Now there seems to be no way to access one's inbox or send PM's. Also when accessing a member's profile (e.g. admin, to point this problem out), the possibility to send that member a PM also seems to have gone.

hi, The PM's should be fixed now. We recently upgraded the back-end architecture of Dead.net, so there may be some things that operate differently now... hopefully they will be minor and will not adversely affect user experience. thanks, Admin
