- marshmanJoined: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
- dead_roastedJoined:looking for tapes!
I received my a set of tapes from 4/11/78 at the Fox in Atlanta and I really love the format and history behind it all. I am relatively new to the scene (first show was dead&co at Wrigley in 2019). I would love to connect with anyone who has tapes they would be willing to part with or send to a loving new home.

- daverockJoined:Taping Compendium
Uncle Tippel - I still check the Taping Compendium to see what the reviews are for upcoming Daves Picks and box sets.
The reviews in that first book for the 1966 shows, especially the Acid Tests, by Nick Merriwether are really good.I also liked the whole tape trading thing. Sending blanks off in the post, and then getting them returned full of goodies. Then later driving up to a friends house who had a house full of tapes. He often recorded different shows on different tape decks in different rooms at the same time. Dead music could be heard, from different eras wherever you went in his house.

....DAVEROCK!
pulled out my reference book
The Deadhead's Taping Compendium Volume 1 (1959-1974)
last night
and began a re-read of the 1st 38 pages
and it brought it all back home for me again,
the historical perspective of GOGD recordings
(Babbs / Bear / Healy / Matthews / Cohen / Barncard / Rex / Kidd / the Deadheads)and a re-visit (with a good laugh)
of the "Hell's Honkies Tape Club"
and the earliest TAPERS is something
that I can appreciate again with great memories
of sitting next to my deck and recording FM radio broadcasts
from (1983-1991) and then trading those tapes
with like minded folks for 1971-1976 FM's,
oh yes, when music was shared between DEADHEADS
for the price of postage and a tapethink I'll do a re-read this weekend
of the 8 page Dupree's Diamond News
interview with Dick Latvala to
complement the Compendium. - wissinomingdeadheadJoined:Tapes
I'm still into tapes. I check eBay frequent to add to the collection. Several have eluded me since I started trading in the mid 80's.
2/15/69 Set 1 & 2 (UNK gen) AUD looking for an upgrade {barely listenable}

It's the only copy I've ever owned
4/16/79 Rehearsal Club Front looking for an upgrade my tape has a lot of hiss
1/13/80 Never found it on tape
5/28/82 Never found it on tape
3/19/95 1st set I have a poor sounding AUD Did Healy ever release a SBD of this show?
I never made it to the DAT scene so my question is do DAT's sound better than CD's? - tskregJoined:I have many GD tapes, CDs…
I have many GD tapes, CDs and DVDs I'd like to give away. Doing some early Spring cleaning and the time has come to part with them. I used to tape trade in the 80's and started collecting and creating CDs and DVDs, after I became aware of bt.etree. I now listen via flac on a Fiio M11. I'm not sure how delivery would work, but I'm located in Western Massachusetts. I can be reached at gjden@comcast.net.
