    Looking for Tapes

    Hello there,

    I am new to the dead.net forum and am struggling with the private message function - I keep getting an Access Denied error.

    I would be interested in any tapes that someone may be looking to re-home and would be more than happy to pay any costs to ship them to me.

    I’m a “new” dead head (born in 1990 so I have no choice but to be I suppose). I grew up on American Beauty and Workingmans, picked up guitar in the 90s with heavy GD influence on songs, and got to see Dead & Co at Alpine in 2016.

    I have a bunch of old school music equipment both for listening and recording, and want to add some tapes to my collection. Getting harder now it feels like as everything GD is mainstream again (post Sphere even more so?) I snagged a box of reel to reel live recordings for $40 back in 2020; not sure you could find a single reel for that on the internet now.

    Im just looking to have these for my collection and experience the music as it’s been experienced over the years without overpaying someone who is just out to make money off something.

    Anyhow, appreciate your time, and if anyone happens to have any tapes around still, I’d be honored to add them to my collection.

    Thank you,

    Gayl from Wisconsin

    Vintage Tape Decks need a good home

    Long time taper here thru the 70s and 80s. I have several tape decks that could use a good home. Nakamichi 1000 and a Tandberg TCD330 that need work. Also a Teac 2300SD Reel to Reel that works fine but could prob use a little tune up. before putting on ebay or FB, wanted to put it our to our community. Anyone out there that knows how to repair or tune up? I am in New Jersey.

I'm glad the subject of tapes came up because I, like everyone else here, has tapes sitting around that are gathering a lot of dust.I saw a tape converter recently and was wondering if anyone had experimented with these. It plugs into your computer and converts the audio to mp3 files. I'm not sure how it would work with Dead shows though as I'm sure the converter would have difficulty picking out tracks with either an audience bootleg or songs running into each other. Anyone have experience with these?? Here's a link if you are interested: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/drives/7a8d/ To reiterate, I have never tried this device nor am I promoting it in any way. Just wondering.

... to give away my cassette tapes. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of hours of GD and all kinds of other music as well. Just don't have the room anymore - the collection takes up 4 shelves in our daughter's already cluttered playroom.I made this offer on another forum last year and a few people took me up on it: send me a return envelope with postage, and I'll send as many tapes as I can fit into it. Usually, I can send 8 tapes for the price of a priority mail stamp, but if I send without cases, I can fit even more. I'd love to give the tapes to those who might enjoy them and free up some space here at home. I still listen to a ton of GD, but mostly on the computer these days. I don't even know if anyone wants cassettes anymore (I do know that there are some ways to transfer them to computer files, but I don't have the time). If you're interested, send me a message here or email chipwithrow@yahoo.com. I'll send you a partial list of what I have. "Folk rock for groovin families!" myspace.com/chipwithrow chipwithrow.com

I listed my tapes last night. I was appalled to find about 7 empty tape cases. I need to find some of the tapes, they were some of the best. Years ago, I had my best collection stolen from my car. My wails of gridf brought the neighbors running, they thought I had found my cat dead, seriously. I replaced what I could but.... The thought that the tapes were sold on the street and taped over made me sick. I've looked into transfering from tapes into my PC and then using a free download program to edit. Then I'll burn CDs.Then I can start trading, getting what I want and giving what someone else wants

There seem to be no tapes in circulation from the brief east coast tour of April 19 (Thee Image, Miami) through May 11 (The Dome, Virginia Beach). Does anyone know whether these shows were taped? I would love to believe and hope that something from Thee Image Miami shows might surface (not the later Gulfstream Racetrack show). Portions of the undated 1968 tapes sound very familiar and have some unique features I remember from the Miami show. But if anyone can definitively say that none of the east coast shows were taped then I will stop analyzing the undated 1968 tapes to see if they might fit into the evolutionary progression of spring 68. Has anyone done a study of the undated 68 tapes to estimate where they ought to fit in? There seem to be some uniqueness of tempo, lead guitar jams and percussion that give me hope they could be snatches from around that time. There was also a free concert at Greynolds Park in Miami during their stay in Miami. I have often thought that since the tour was so short and since Miami was the first stop that maybe no one bothered to bring or set up the taping equipment. Any hope, guesses, leads will be greatly appreciated.

...shall we go, you and I while we can... Apparently, as of now, there are no recordings which reflect the dates you specified. That doesn't mean they don't exist, although they may not, in fact have been recorded, or the recordings may be lost, or they may exist in the vault, in which case, until there is transperency there, you'll never know. I'd suggest that you continue to listen to everthing around that time period, especially things that are date/location unspecific to see if you find anything. Provenence was not the top priority then, if you know what I mean. Also, keep an eye on the torrent sites, as little gems like this have a way of popping up frequently ( shows from 10/68 appeared recently).

So with the apperent loss of the ability to download from the tapers section, I offer this. I have downloaded to CD, many of the sections selections, all date sensitive ( tried to keep all the 72's or 74's on a CD) Now I would love to offer these up for trade, but the question is will I be hassled by the powers that be?

Hey Guys, Gals- I wanted to ask anyone out there if I can begin again or to say try and re-establish a connection and collection of Dead shows. Back in 1990, I lost all of my shows (some 400 to 600 cassettes) and that loss was not under my control. I moved from the Midwest to the east coast at that time and have been here ever since. I fell out of the “scene” but kept the spirit and tunes alive, but issues kept me from doing any serious trading. My last show was Soldier Field ’90 and my 1st. was ’76 in Boston. Anyway, I’m looking for the opportunity to acquire shows again and get back into trading although I have nothing that anyone does not already have, i.e., some Dick’s picks, Beyond description, all the Dvd’s and other tidbits etc. I’ve garnered over the years. Obviously I have the internet but where I live in the mountains there is only dial up and this makes it a pain in the ass to do anything without waiting what seems like years for a download etc. I am aware that the digital age is here and shows are available on CDR and many people have transferred their shows to disk, kudos! If there is anyone out there willing to email me a list of shows and let me know what it will take to get some, that would be gratefully appreciated. I can send Cdr’s, postage etc. whatever you need, I’ll do. Email me at notchloft@aol.com Thanking you all in advance, Peace Andy Kohn
