Hi, I made a video to post ("High Time"), but YouTube has blocked it, saying it's copyrighted material. Is this something that comes up now and then? Any clues on how to keep a video from being blocked -- it must sound too much like the original. Thanks, -Rob

Disk one of Daves Picks won't play. My player shows the # of tracks and the total play time, but won't play. I tried it on multiple players. Just curious if anything can be done.
Thanks much!

I have had a great idea for quite some time about a merch product that I would love to see come to fruition.
I believe the only way to do it right would be through GDM, as it would be a Highly Iconic design or two, used in a 'NEW' way, it would be a very popular item GDM should maintain control of.
Please let me know whom to contact!
Thanks!

Here's one largely positive review from Brian Dyke, in Taping Compendium Vol. I: of Denver Coliseum, Nov 20 1973 - though some of the details of his description don't match what I hear, and he resorts in a couple of places to (mild) versions of his typical fault-casting (saying "the triad of 'Promised' > 'Bertha' > 'Greatest Story,' falls flat on its face" - which just isn't so, I think ["Promised Land" 's particularly rhythmically good, w/very spunky drumming; Jer flubs the 2nd verse of "Bertha," though]).

Hello. First time poster. I saw on Facebook someone posted about Dave's Picks Volume 40 at Deer Creek.

I understand it is sold out, but inside there is a letter from John Scher to Dave Lucas. That Dave Lucas was my father.
He and his partner built Deer Creek, and created the vision on how great it ended up being. I myself worked many summers doing the marketing for the shows at Deer Creek including all the Dead shows.

However, I would like to get a copy of that as a present for him and I have no idea where to find. Can anyone help? Looking for a miracle(many times I handed out extra tickets as miracles). I think he would find it very special.

Thank you in advance.

Hey, dude from India!!

So, you're a spammer, AND a Deadhead??? Interesting combination............

Ultimately, Captchas are useless for spam because they're designed to tell you if someone is 'human' or not, but not whether something is spam or not.........

I received a brand new and sealed copy of Dave's Picks, Vol. 30 w/bonus disc for Christmas. I opened it up and to my surprise, I found my copy to be numbered 190/300. I've seen some unnumbered promo copies released for other volumes, and I know there was a run of 500 extra copies of Vol. 3 to replace some copies that disappeared, but I can't seem to find any information on Vol. 30. Does anybody out there have any idea of what I might have? Thanks.

I did not receive DP 43. Post office said the Dead only made a tracking slip and did not give them the package to send. I emailed the Dead and only received an automated response with a ticket ID number. How can I get this resolved?

She left me with four signed GD Posters. What would be their collecting status / value. Where would I look for info on this web site for interest?

I have also tried to make a new account at the store, to no avail.
I've tried on several browsers and computers. Could use a bit of help.

Has anyone else had difficulty downloading 2022 30 Days of Dead selections today to try to get days missed during November, 2022? Every time I download one of the seven days I missed (yeah, I know, DUH) I get an error message that the file is corrupted. So I went in to download all of 2022 30 Days, and got the 2021 30 Days! Anybody else, or am I just weird?

    But has no correlation to WMG continuous lack of professionalism or ethics.
    It’s not the carriers fault if they don’t receive it to ship…
    -
    Over the last almost two weeks, we finally received a few promising customer service reply’s stating that our box was (for whatever not given reason) still not shipped and that it would NOW be expedited and notice given upon shipment.
    5 more days have gone by since last assurance, and still no notification, box etc…
    -
    Why so much worry?
    It appears most everyone has received theirs except some of our friends across the pound. That, along with site listing ever dwindling supply is causing undue stress/contempt and once again ruining what should have a been an extremely positive, enjoyable GD experience.
    This seems to get worse every year instead of better, why?
    They certainly had no problem charging our CC months ago and getting paid….

    Any chance of adding a variety of shipping options and allowing the customer to choose, and pay accordingly, for their choice?

    Adding to the 2 previous

    Is it the deliverers fault if it’s not shipped at all, or if no notification is given ?
    -
    The easy solution is to give the consumer the choice at time of purchase
    Like BITD, you could chose how to ship, depending on the costumers need, by simply clicking on appropriate method, and at a premium if necessary.
    At check out, you click on shipping option, it shows the price, and you confirm at final check out. If it could be achieved back then, with new technologies it should be even easier to set up now.
    Since our location fosters a convoluted confusing situation, we would gladly pay additional shipping in order to ensure the product is delivered correctly, thereby alleviating unnecessary stress, hassles, and affecting the enjoyment of the product.
    It would save the seller having to rectify so many problems, and perhaps even provide additional revenue instead.

    Many of us have been suggesting, bitching, moaning and howling at the moon about this for a long time.
    The hybrid method usually works pretty well for DaPs, but for everything else, the ability to simply choose the correct method at shipping seems like a no brainer?

    "who's to blame?"

    I think the culprits in the Shipping Blues are the delivery services, not dead daht net.
    They send it out into the ether and then it is up to the shippers to bring it to the customer. the shippers are the ones who send it to NYC then to Chicago to be stored for a week and then to LA, and finally sent to Vermont.
    Luckily, I have never had to sing the Shipping Blues.
    I hope I never have to.

    Shipping issues...

    Hi! I'm new to the site and very grateful to be here! I joined just in time to witness the release and shipment of the Summer Magic '85 20 CD set. As days passed, there was a growing deluge of shipping delays, misinformation, no information and changing information from carriers reported by a large group of very discontented customers, and I understand that this is in no way an isolated incident. I honestly have never witnessed such an inordinate amount of total chaos in a shipping situation by such a large and well-respected organization.
    -
    I am well aware that shipping services have declined in many ways during the past few years and that this decline is the majority of the problem. But there are two strategies that stand out for me that are within your control, and they were pointed out repeatedly by customers on some of the threads, so I felt inspired to share them here for your consideration:
    -
    1.) Offer expedited shipping.
    As I understand it, you cryptically don't offer it now and it goes a long way towards ensuring shipments arrive in a timely manner. Customers are literally begging for it.
    2.) Consider the reality of shipping delays when deciding how early to ship product to meet the release date. Product may need to be shipped earlier to factor in the reality of today's delayed service.
    -
    The customer base here would be so incredibly grateful to see these two things take place, myself included, as I am just beginning my journey here. Thank you, respectfully and sincerely.

    There is an inordinate amount of ongoing discontent, glitches and chaos surrounding shipping going on. It is obvious that a lot of it is rooted in the shipping carriers. Can anything be done on this end in the future to mediate it in some way and help?

    Tried the coupon today & no dice. Emailed customer service such as it is & not holding my breath. It works on the Lyceum ‘72 vinyl, so it’s not a max-price thing.
    And it is no longer a pre order. Just baffled.

    Any help?

    Birthday Coupon

    Is this the right place to ask “what can I use the coupon for?” Today is my birthday (me & Mickey) & I received the yearly coupon email from Dead dot net. Went to try it on the new box set. No luck.
    I figure maybe that’s because it’s a preorder, so I try the new Dave’s Picks. Also a no-go.
    I checked the email & there are no restrictions listed, but I can’t get it to work on anything.
    Thoughts? Suggestions? I am sincerely appreciative of the generosity, but it won’t do me any good if I can’t use it on anything in the store.

    Thanks!

    EDIT - I just now tried it with the MSG box (how is that still available?) and it worked there. So I’ll wait a week until the Summer ‘85 box is officially released & update then.
