I need a miracle. . .

The search continues for clean copies of 10/18 and 10/19/80 (Saenger Theatre - New Orleans). The copies I have I am VERY grateful for but, they are as muddy as my coffee is this morning. If you were there or have heard these shows you know why my search continues. The venue, the locale, and the boys were ON.

Looking to Trade Tapes

I have a rediculous amount of tapes and I'm willing to copy a bunch for some in return. I recently got the device to copy tapes into my computer so I can burn them onto disc. Once I get them into my hard drive I'm looking to pass them on to people. Get in touch and we can work something out.

Old Poster/Taper Returns

Folks, Yes I know how lame it is to double post the same thing in different topics. Sorry if I'm making you read this twice, but I think this is the most appropriate spot for this: Hey all, I started posting on the original DeadNet Central back in 1997. A huge advocate for the Audience recording, I did everything I could to transfer old AUD masters into digital formats - sharing seeds of AUDs online. I've even had the pleasure of supplying David Gans with an AUD for the GDH and was interviewed on the radio show. I dropped out of the online posting sphere a few years ago, and have just started peeking my way back in (love the new Dead.net forum layout). Mostly I've started a blog aimed at helping people new to the world of Dead music online navigate the choices of shows to listen to, with a lean on the world of audience recordings. Check it out here: http://deadlistening.blogspot.com/ and let me know if you find it useful.

Looking for a good home for some old tapes

Various qualities and ages, but quite a nice collection spanning the years.I no longer have a cassette player, so I want to give these away to someone who will pay for the shipping - that's it.... Tapes are in Sacramento, CA - if you are interested please send me a note at jhdecker60 (at) gmail (dot) com thanks. jah

Tapes! Tapes! Tapes!

I have countless tapes and am always looking for more. I'm transfering them to my hardrive and making them digital. As I finish I pass them on. Anybody want some tapes? Anybody have some tapes for me? I'll return them in clean quality discs. Chris and Mary

Boston

Hi everyone, I am a grateful dead fan, music lover, and graduate student. I am currently working through Tufts University's music department on a project reagrding Grateful Dead tapers and traders. I do not have any experience taping or trading but I am really interested and would like to start trading - especially trading cassettes. If there is anyone near Boston, I would love to talk in person. Otherwise I am available through this thread or by email (MagnoliaRose72@gmail.com). Thank you for taping.

Hello all,I have a bad case of the 'dail-ups', Thus uploading torrents etc, is just near crazy thinking to even think about. I was wanting to make a gift of finding the April 1st and 2nd 1995 Memphis show that me and my lady friend went to all those times ago. Anybody out there have a copy of any of these 2 shows? The good memories of hanging out that weekend at the dead camp at the river banks is still fresh in my mind reading these forums the past few dayz. CD or CD-rom/DVD-r prefered. but tapes are even welcomed. I can transfer to the computer if I have to. Thanks in advance for any info! www.tuckermike.com

Looking For JGB and Bob Weir Band Cheney WA Oct 1978

Hey all - I went to a show in Cheney WA in the middle of October 1978 - it was in a gym I believe. Bob Weir Band opened for Jerry Band (with Maria Muldaur AND Donna!). After sleeping in a fresh cut wheat field that night and making it back to Missoula, where I was living (and have been again since '94), I was so inspired I borrowed a friend's guitar and started to learn. I've been gigging since '82 and would love to hear that show, no matter the quality. Who's got it? Thanks so much, friends. Larry

2/21&22/73 shows in Champaign-Urbana, IL???

Free Tapes "Part 3"

Last summer I posted "part 1" and no one locally got back to me..... Last Winter (around xmas I think) I put "part 2" on here. I got a couple folks interested my tapes. I have given away close to 400 tapes from 65-85. I still have close to 500 tapes from 91-95 if you want them and your in the Portland/Seattle area, come and get em!! Otherwise I have found that I can send flat rate boxes with 60 tapes (possibly more with out the cases) in them for under $9. If your out of the area and want them let me know!! I want to share and they are just collecting dust. - Peace Eric

Hello all. I am wanting to get started in aquiring Dead shows, the problem is I don't have anyone to trade with.

I am not too particular. Thanks Peter pwyatt30@yahoo.com

Ark

I'm sure you'll find many kind souls to help you out, but I would be remiss if I did not point out that the Vineyard was just made for folks in your situation. All you have to do is sign up and be willing/able to copy the CD/DVD and send it on to the next person in good time. Head on over there!

Weird Ritual Surfacing: 1979-02-07 SIU Arena

So I have this thing I do for my friends and family. On their birthday, I make them a CD of the Grateful Dead show that happened on the day of their birth and give it to them. It's kind of a cheap way of getting out of "buying" something, but it's my way of spreading the vibes and trying to share some Dead love. Obviously, I can only do this once, or I'd be giving the same gift to everyone every year. It's worked pretty well, and I've even converted some folks to the family. I've been able to find shows for almost everyone, that is, except myself. I was born on February 7th, 1979, the night of the notorious Carbondale show in Illinois where Jerry "supposedly" had a bad reaction to Valium. Archive.org has this show available for streaming, but that's it. If anyone has a copy of this show, I'd appreciate it. I'll foot the shipping or whatever. I know this isn't the best sounding show, but I'd like to have it anyway. Peace, Caleb “Let there be songs to fill the air.”

Long Sought After Show

Hello, I'm brand spanking new here... But of course a long time Grateful Dead fan. I had a tape back in high school (1981) that blew my mind. I unfortunately lost it way back when, and have spent years trying to jog my memory as to what show it was. Well I finally figured it out. It's from 12/1/79.. Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh. How do I go about downloading this most treasured concert? I found a site that streams it and it has been a delight to listen to again after all these years... but I'd really love to take it with me on road trips. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Keith

Music Sharing

What's up? I was curious to know why can't some of the music sharing be done via email? I have all of my music in .mp3 format. I know some of the files can be large, but if one manages their email with Microsoft Outlook, you can receive .mp3 files. Yahoo and Gmail email accounts could be file size constrained. I have a bunch of music and want to share it. However, I also don't want to break the law. It's all good. Bamski

Hi Bamski

Serious traders pretty much want their music in a lossless format, mp3 too compressed. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Riverport Shows

Looking to get rid of tapes!

My brother moved out about 10 years ago, and has left his massive collection of Grateful Dead & Phish live tapes he recorded during his Dead Head years. He hasn't expressed much interest in keeping them and my father mentioned ebaying them. However after some research I've come to find out that selling these tapes (or you guys buying them) doesn't really happen. So I'd like to offer the collection to anybody here. I'm in the process of cataloging them but for the most part they are recordings from the early to mid 90s in venues surrounding the NY area. There are about 100 or so tapes that I just want to ship off to anybody who would want them. Unfortunately if nobody wants them, I'm just gonna chuck them. If you want some more info, feel free to email me at mstrit63@gmail.com Hope to hear from you!

I am lookin' for...

...many things... 2 New York Shows; 1970-11-11 1979-11-01 your assistance is grate-ly appreciated.

spring and summer 1991

The only complete 91' shows I have on tape are Charlotte & Greensboro NC. I think those were in April. They did "Loose Lucy" at the Charlotte show. Both of these were indoor arena shows so the sound is not all that great but ok. It's been 13 some years, and the "last" show 7-9-95 has not been released? I am still waiting too. For crying out loud, it could be one of the downloadable series sets.

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
