    I'd like to get in on this
    I've been a Dead fan for years. Unfortunately I don't have any trading material to add to the vine. All of my non-commercial recordings are 20+ yr old 3rd + generation boom box copies. I've been looking for this set for years. Ever since I read Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and saw the set of tapes listed in a book on the Dead. 53. Psychedelicman 54. Trombone 55. Packratt

    Acid Test vine - trying again
    Hi there Hal, Pman, et al- I previously signed up as newbie under the handle tester75, but was never able to get back into the site after the first time. When I tried to login, it told me that that user name was either blocked or didn't exist, but if I tried to sign up again using the same email it told me that there was already an account with that email. So I was lost in some sort of terrible winternet dimension with no access to dead.net. Tech support was overseas somewhere and absolutely useless. Anyway, here goes, trying this again- 53.

    Using a DVD, what I did
    I don't have a DVD burner right now so I copied the whole thing as a big folder to my external hard drive. I found that Winamp plays FLAC files straight up and with a little add-in called shntool it plays .shn's. Its burner will convert and burn CDs from flac but not shn.

    well it`s a DVD with shn/flac files on it . to play it on your computer you will need a program called Foobar2000 , that will play shn/flac files . If you want to made CD`s you will need a program called Traders Little Helper , that will convert the flac files to standard audio files that you will be able to burn to CD . Check out to New vines 09 thread you will find links to both programs or you can just Google them . If you need more help let me know and I`ll do my best to help you out . *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

The discs should be in Florida by now, sorry it took so long. By the way, the Phil show was somewhat of a let down. Every time they started jammin, they stopped short. There was no place I woulkd have rather been at that point in time, but we were all a little dissapointed. Oh well, can't pitch a no hitter every game. Thanks for the discs! PEACE

I just happen to be reading Wolfe's Acid Test for the umpteenth time and would very much like to get in on this vine tang... However, the age of it, and the lack of recent updates, along with my rookie spirit, leaves me lacking confidence that it is a real deal. Can someone give me some kind of sign that this is fo'real afore I go climbing on board the vine? "The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer." - Ken Kesey

Let's all write Wobbs7 a note of support. Seems he has some hassles in his life, so it is time to be kind and support him. This may help grow your own Karma at the same time. Looks like re-seed #2 for this one. Given the subject of this vine, I am not surprised some do not pass the test. If you think you can pass the Acid test (by passing along the vine) and are next in line, please PM me with your address and in a day or two I will send out the discs. Now I have to go down to the archives to find the source seeds. It is kind of dark and damp down there filled with fuzzy scurry things that go bump in the night. (well not really I just have to find where they are on the back up drives.) Happy autumnal equinox every one. The aspens are starting to turn here and the hills are alive with color.

I have sent the re-seed #2 to Schnebs. I had sent PM's to #16 - 24 and Eric was the first (and only one) to answer. If you feel that you were skipped and would like back in line, please add your name to the end of the list. #'s 23-32 seem to be active here and your chances of ever seeing thisi vine have been improved.

I copied this one from the audio cd's and sent it out to the next person without burning them(not a good idea). I seem to not be able to find the 2nd disc listed in my music library on windows media player. I was wondering if anyone else that copied these from the audio disc's could tell me what the 2nd disc comes up labeled as when you put the cd in your computer. If anyone knows could you please post on here or pm with the info? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Trevor "You know the one thing we need is a left handed monkey wrench....."
