grateful dead hour for 02-24-2010

There doesn't seem to be a Grateful Dead Hour posted this week. gdh1014 from 02-17-2010 is the latest I find.lethedoom

um

I believe this is the current one: http://www.dead.net/features/grateful-dead-hour-no-716

Marye, that is supposed to be the current one, but the link you put up doesn't work and it says last week still on this end too!_____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

I can't replicate what you're seeing

716 is featured on the homepage and the link, if pasted into the browser, works fine and goes to the correct page for me.

wait...

now it's doing it. Weird!

sunspots

or aliens, mebbe

it's weird

I can't get it to happen consistently, but it did just disappear when I logged out. Came back eventually, but it's weird. I've reported this to the tech folks.

I think it's Acoustic Dead

Must be the Jerry Magic! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Recording Shows

I'm curious about how to record shows by Phil & Friends, Furthur, and who ever. You used to need a ticket for the "Tapers Section" but how is that all handled now? do you just show up at a show with your gear and they just let you in ? Check Out My Orignal Music at myspace.com/salaversano

Kids tickets...

My son is 5 and has been jonesing to join me at a show, I decided the next outdoor show I would let him join in! SO we are going to 6.26 @ MCU in Brooklyn. My question is, Are there any age allowances like children under 3 dont need to have a ticket or anything...I got him a ticket already, just curious...Thanks

Licensing Question

If one had a unique idea and is looking to license grateful dead trademarks for these unique products... where would I look or who could I speak to?

send me a PM

and I'll put you in touch with licensing.

can ya put me in touch wif H.R.?...I need a job....

ok, ok.......i'll stop....heeheeee

i'm wondering....

when we post a picture in fan photos, why only our avatars appear and not a user name?

dunno

but I agree it's odd.

How to find my posts?

Is there a way to find a post I made without "manually" looking for it? Thanks, Henry

in short

not really. If you can remember a distinctive phrase in the post, put it in quotes and use the search tool on the upper left. That's about it.

in short again

Thanks, I think I know the answer to this one, but is there a way to get email notification on replies to one's posts? Too much to ask?? H

sorry

it's not wired that way.

no gdh yet

thursday, 4/22/2010 5:35 pdtgrateful dead hour: there doesn't seem to be a new one this week yet. the latest one i find at http://www.dead.net/ or http://www.dead.net/features/gdhour is Grateful Dead Hour no. 962 which was posted last week. lethedoom

thanks lethe

I'm looking into it.

Hey lethedoom

I think Mr. David Gans is on the Road playing somewhere today ;-) That's my guess._____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

it's true, he is

but the GD Hour is now here with us!

possible to search threads by username?

Im looking for a post ive seen in the past but cant find it.. can you search posts by username? thank

yes

but then you'd get everything in which that username appeared. You can't search for posts BY someone, but you can search for their name. If you can remember a distinctive phrase in the search you're probably going to have better luck searching for that.

Out Of Print Discs

I see that RARE CUTS AND ODDITIES is available from the GD store again. That's "grate" for everyone who would still like to have a copy at the reasonable issue price rather than going on eBay or Amazon and paying a premium to get the CD but it would be nice if when a CD goes out of print there was a notation in the store listings that it is scheduled to be re-issued or has been discontinued. Would it be that difficult to have a list of "out of print" discs that are not scheduled for a re-issue?I, for one, would like to know if several of the Dick's Picks volumes, which are currently unavailable, will be re-issued.

Ant

I don't know, but good thought and I'll pass it on.

what's up with all the spam users?

This site is becoming a popular destination for spammers. They are now making posts in an effort to hock their wares. See page 23 of the Philly '89 Now Available release pages and the post by jerrym. You can tell they are spammers because they are always new members for less than a day. Is there any way to prevent this?

old complaint, WTJ

Marye's job to clean them up since there is no way to boot them preemptively...

Maybe there should be a questionnaire

to fill out before you can join. Like where was Jack Straw from? If you set out from Reno you may be trailed by??

great idea Lopezz

I'm sure there are ways around it but at least they'd have to work harder. I can see the drawback being those legit users that just don't know the answers. Nonetheless, you are on to something. Good thinking, kudos.

1 really good question

This is a great idea, I too, have noticed the increased spammer presience and a question to answer would be ideal, there are so many to choose from, it could be changed every 3 to 6 months, multiple choice:strangers stopping strangers just to________ a. say hello b. smoke a bowl c. dance and twirl d. shake hands the list is endless:) what a great idea.

Can we do something...

,,,before the site gets totally hacked?

Dancing in the Streets live extended version

Our new friend Ric-Paris wishes to know where it might be possible to find a version of that tune, from the Terrapin Station album. Any help with his quest would be greatly appreciated.Merci! ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Editing posts

Is there any way to edits one's posts for embarassing mistakes, AFTER they have been posted.PLEASE & THANK YOU! JimmieJi

Unfortunately no editing

JimmieJi, very good question. I've had a couple of posts where I wish I could have edited them. But, unfortunately there is no way to do it brother. I must say, that this always makes me think even harder about my posts, and what I've written. So I guess it does help in that sense...but once you press post comment it's set in dead.net stone. A few suggestions for when you post here though: 1. Always preview comment ~ to see how it's gonna post, this will help 2. Proofread your comments, although there is a built in spell checker reread what you write. 3. Sometimes on long posts I'll copy and paste into Notepad because there is nothing more frustrating than writing a big post and accidentally hitting forward or back in the browser and your post is gone. 4. Always have fun! Hope this helps! ~CC _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

You mean the extended version or 2004 reissue of the Terrapin Station album with the 16 minute Dancing at the end of the disc? Released - 1977 Original Label - Arista A re-mastered version was initially released as part of the box-set, Beyond Description on Oct. 26, 2004 on Rhino. Released individually March 2006 You can buy the extended version on the album, I just checked on itunes for $9.99 or I'm sure you can find it on Amazon or somewhere else. Hope this helps our new friend. ;-) _____________________________________________ Will you come with me?

Questions - Download Series and Artwork

Has any decision been made to bring back the Download Series???I am still missing 3 of the shows and want to buy them... Hopefully they will get re-posted? Anyone?? Also, I purchased some '09 shows.. but cd artwork was never included. Is this ever going to be posted either? Woudl love to get the real artwork, since so many other downloads here have it, or have had it.

looking into this

will post when I know more. Thanks!

Doing my own Shirt with the SYF logo on back !

Hello,I would like to know if, according to copyrights, I am allowed to do my own Shirt with using at least the Steal Your Face logo on its backside by uploading this logo to this website: www.spreadshirt.com I DO NOT WANT to make this Shirt on this website to sell it (even through a web t-shirt shop). I only would like to create and make only one personnal shirt for me. May you give me further information if such operation is illegal or not according to pending licences on this logo. Best Regards. (Sorry for my bad english written, I am French !)

re: download series

It's available on amazon.com apparently... but only in MP3 format... makes no sense why it's not here any more.Makes more sense to have people pay for it here, than download it from amazon, or leech it off a bit-torrent site....

Jeanink

I would just like to say, don't worry about your written english, it is much better than many college graduates in the U.S.

heh

so true, and meanwhile I'm checking with the licensing folks as to the protocols here.

question

how do I go about deleting my acct.I google my name and this showed up along with my email and some private info I created two years ago, forgot about now I'm trying to delete my acct. - ?

no problem

send me a PM with the request and I'll delete the account. Sorry to see you go though.

Furthur Downloads

I would encourage the band to make all the rehearsal shows available for download. I and I think a lot of folks would love to get this music. The music this band is making is pleasing a lot of folks like shows haven't done at least for me since the 70's and a few good years in the 80's. The energy level is high and it shows in the music they are making. All downloads do not have to be 3 discs. May 28 fit on 2 discs with GDTRFB fitting at the end of dics 1. Mayeb they could package all the shows together. Thank you..Big Moe

how to listen

why is it when I come to this site (and I have an account) there is no music? Shouldn't there be some streaming of great dead music when I come here?! Its about the music after all! I have really considered buying the winterland 1973 (nov 10) cd package but how can I preview o make sure it is the cd of the tape I owned so long ago? Any suggestions? Archive dot org removes it when there is a commercial release (fair enough) but how can I have a quick listen before buying? Its not on iTunes... any suggestions? Also, Dead.net should consider a format like iTunes where you can have a quick preview of songs....(but not sell by the song!!! never go there!)

Download series?

Marye, thought you were gonna check on the Download series availability? Just looking to see if there's any plans. Would like to get the flacs, and I'm sure so many others would too. I can't see how it actually costs the company money to keep a link online... it's revenue generating. I can get the mp3's from amazon (no thanks) and so may forums have the bittorrents but that's just stealing. Why can't legit customers get the product? makes little sense to me.... Still would love to get the artwork for the cd's too.. not sure why that seems to be such a hard thing to acquire too.

Download Series is available

Just about the entire GD catalogue including the Download Series and Rare Cuts and Oddities can be purchased online in FLAC or MP3 or ALAC from: http://www.livedownloads.com/live-music/3,461/Grateful-Dead-mp3-flac-do… you can download the front cover from that site too. If you want all the artwork send me a pm and I will tell you where to find it Why you can buy there releaes from livedownlaods and not from here beats me..but at least they can be found somewhere!

Thanks Marye.
I tried…

Thanks Marye.
I tried Jonathan's suggestion and it didn't work - maybe I didn't do it correctly?
I can go back intime in any forum anywhere but I cant go back in my open Personal Messages.
Thanks for all of your 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.

Have you tried logging out of your profile on dead dot net.... then X out of page completely and then get back on dead net and log back in? Hope that made sense....worth a shot
good luck

Private Messages

HI Marye.
Hope all is well..
So I'm trying to get back to some Private Messages from earlier this year - Late February through April/May or so. I can go back a page and see a summary of messages but when I click on any of them I get taken back to the most recent page of messages, not the page/message I clicked on. Any Ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

it was 40 years ago today

I and a pack of friends dosed to the gills were on our way to see Jerry and the band at the SunDome in Tampa. Quite the show and a floating roof made for good times. Saw many a band at the SunDome, always a great time.
