to buy or not to buy

do mail in...do main in....do mail in....over.

I mail ordered,bought plane tickets,hotel and all.I'm very very bummed I had my money orders sent back!.I always mail ordered and did everything correct and made sure the post office stamped the correct date and all.I went to Stubhub and those jerks are selling tickets????.I think they need to do 10 shows!!.This is the first time I've ever been shut out!!!.I've been to over 600 shows at least and never got shut out!.Once in Foxboro Mass I almost did and had to bribe the guy at the door.This is a sad day.

Bummer

Hey crystalboy420, Thats a real bummer man... I'm sorry to hear you didn't get in this round. Don't give up that hope and make it happen on the 28th on Ticketmaster. Which tickets did you request?

mail order

I am so sorry to hear this! Did they provide any explanation? I vow to not participate with stub hub or any beyond face tickets- wish there was a way to convince others not to.

stubhub not real tix

fyi~ Stubhub is selling the idea that they will have tickets...or they're selling counterfeits....NO ONE received any tickets yet

Checking Your USPS Money Order

US postal money order status can be checked by calling 866-459-7822. The automated system will ask you for your postal serial #, dollar amount and post office number – all located on the money order receipt. The system will then say if the money is “does match” or “does not match” their system. “Does NOT match” means that the money order has been cashed! Hopefully I will get tickets and all the bitter & negative people on the chat boards out there stay home.

Have you heard???

Has anyone heard about if they will notify if you have gotten tickets through mail order? Will they notify before this Saturday morning????

Post on GDTS TOO

Says they are trying hard to notify winners by email within next two days. My question is, is it just me or did all the other ticket travel VIP packages disappear except for the most expensive. I swear two days ago they were up and I was making huge rationalizations about how to afford the Workingman's Dead that included 3 res. and 3 nights stay for 2 for $1550. Oh well, couldn't afford it anyway with money in MOs floating around but I am I hallucinating?

Workingman's Dead Pkg

Pkg is still there. Click on CID then make sure you click "travel packages".

Phew, thank you

I should have just had that beverage! Thank you found it! Its the only one I can slightly rationalize, hopefully if get a rejection will get it in time to pay Credit Card...

show posters on show pages

Once upon a time there were show posters that were specific to their corresponding show pages. What happened to that?

Show posters on show pages

Good question wilfred. I want to know the answer to that too.

The GD concerts coming up in Summer

If in fact these will be the last shows of the GD I appeal to any Deadhead with influence... 1) There should be a fine & powerful & lengthy version of Terrapin Station backed up by genuine black gospel choir. That would be absolutely ethereal. 2) There should a good long version of Dark Star where there ought be several lead guitarists. I suggest inviting a whole host of musicians such as Steve Hillage, Al DiMeola, Santana,etc. There are are so many folks who have loved the GD that some talented folks will show up & do a monumental job.

I'll see

if I can find out.

Trade Tickets

Does anyone know where would be the best forum to trade tickets? I have 4 great tickets to California shows but Chicago is way closer to me. Any suggestions appreciated.

Trade Tickets

When you log in go to recent posts section(upper right corner) and click either on tix wanted or tix needed.

Tour Anxiety

Who's getting excited?

Hey I'm a college student

Hey I'm a college student looking to talk to a real Deadhead about their experience. I'm too young to have seen Jerry or been to a show. I've seen Dark Star a couple times, but would love to hear some stories from the hey day. If you feel like you can help me out, let me know. 9738030592 louiscusano4427@gmail.com

Santa Clara Parking Passes

Can someone please confirm whether, or not, parking passes for Santa Clara have been on sale, yet? Thank you.

SC parking

My thinking and I believe me is that you will have info on parking passes in the same package that your tics are sent in. Then you will have to follow those directions and order the passes on line using some sort of ID that comes with your tics. I could be wrong about all of this but me thinks it may be something kinda like that.

update on ticket printing/mailing status?

Anybody hear an update on when tickets to the Chicago shows are supposed to be printed/mailed?

RE: Sc parking and ticket mailing status

I agree - parking pass info will come with tix, in hopes that folks without tickets won't go to show and re-create the ugly parking lot scene of the '90's, when the lot was full of people whose only purpose was not the music but to just get wasted. Those w/o tix should watch on streaming or PPV. And they announced last week that the tix will be sent out in mid-June. They've got them all decorated and looking beautiful, now they're going "hunker down" and get everyone's envelopes in order. (which is another way of saying there will be no more announcements about this - they're busy). All of this info, and more, can be found on the Dead50 website. Including the June 1st announcement of PPV option(s).

posting new threads

Why am I not able to post a new thread in the "looking for" section?

because

you can't post new threads. There is a thread for In Search of Stuff, In Search of People, and In Search of Info. There is also Tix Offered and Tix Wanted. What area you searching for?

The Fare Thee Well Concerts Pay Per View

My cable provider (Comcast) is not showing the June and July Fare Thee Well shows on their PPV. Are the cable providers going to have the shows - or - is streaming video the only way to see the shows. Thanks... :)

5-show webcast

The site http://www.dead50.net/watch-listen/ says that webcasts are available on Desktop computers only. Does that mean I can't watch them on my ipad tablet?

as I read it

that's probably true of the 30-day on-demand, but I would confirm with the nugs.net folks. The live feed option supports IOS, so if you can watch in real time that should work.

@PPV

My 2 cents... Cable n Satellite PPV 30 days... MLB and nugs...unlimited viewing for 30 days

KFOG just announced

that they'll be rebroadcasting each of the SC shows starting 30 minutes after the show ends. 104.5 FM in the Bay Area; they're on RDIO also, but I don't know what constraints might kick in there, if any.

somebody tape it...

...and vine it please...:-)

@marye

Does KFOG have Internet streaming?

Nothing, a black screen...

Hey, so what???? I woke up at 3am (I'm in France), followed the instructions ("visit www.dead50.net") and nothing!!!! A black screen on http://m.mlb.com/dead50/189141583.... So what? I checked the speed of my bandwidth (ok), I have the correct settings and have already watched streaming videos.... HELP!!! You can't imagine how desperate I am!Hervé

Santa Clara Video & Sound

The live stream must be from a web cam. The sound sucked. You need more bandwidth or something. The Band is great. Fix THE STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Switch to Google Chrome. MS

Switch to Google Chrome. MS internet Exploder does not work.

streaming

I was unable to watch it after paying for it on computer, and sitting on hold with customer service for a ridiculous amount of time...YES I was using google chrome, had enough bandwith, etc. etc. but was still a big NO GO. Glad I only paid for the one night, I wont bother throwing away the money tonightThanks to person who posted a youtube for first set was great to see!

shows and lyrics tab?

Did the 'Shows & Lyrics' tab disappear? I'm not seeing it. Will it be coming back?

Art on FTW box set

Somewhere in one of the threads, someone was asking about who did the cover art on the FTW box set. Sorry it took so long, but here's the info: Original Illustration by: Christopher Capotosto Original Illustration Art Direction by: Chris Kovach CD Cover Art by: Peter Grant

Reviving a question I asked about a year ago...

Surely someone in the world knows the answer, and I'm somewhat surprised that this information has been so difficult to locate. Here's what I posted last year: My question is about Sam Hughes and John Williams. Those are the two guys in the 1977 Dead movie who were filmed while arguing about the movie itself. Sam Hughes was claiming that it was too commercial and exploited the Dead fans for money. John argued that it wasn't, and that in a few years Sam would watch the movie and like it. They ended up making a bet. Does anyone know what the bet was, whether or not it was paid off by the loser and/or what ever became of Sam Hughes and John Williams? I've searched the Internet but only found references to the segment in the film. In a way I would think many people would have followed up on this since it was such a noticeable part of the film, but I haven't had any luck. Thanks.

China Doll missing?

Is it just me, or is an entry for China Doll missing from the 'Songs' http://www.dead.net/songs section of this site?

a question from real life

"HEY, WHO WON THE WEED BOWL, MAN?" - a question shouted in my direction (from a vehicle) in July of this year whilst standing on a corner in Seattle, WA outside Uncle Ike's pot shop. The guy next to me was wearing a Weed Bowl 2014 t-shirt. Something in my mind tells me all the competitors were winners.

Show help

Hi all. i'm trying to find a show and set list from it, but I cant seem to find it in the show archives. It was my first Dead show and I LOVED it and have been a head ever since. I don't recall the exact date. What i do know is that it was roughly 1976-77. A warm beautiful June or July afternoon/night in a small outdoor stadium in New York(not the city). Like a college stadium with one cement level. The dead was the headline band with 2 other openers. One was the Good rats. I found a show in 1979, but i'm sure the show I saw was before that. If anyone can help me 'remember' that show I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks

Dead store

hello, i can't find the information in you term of services :do you ship in Saint Martin island, and if yes, what is the price. Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, we do

but I would check with Customer Service on the particulars.877-DEAD-NET (877-332-3638) +434-205-7051 (international) deadnet@custhelp.com

Dead&Company Nov 5 Wells Fargo

Excellent sounding show. But I have a complaint - our seats were the farthest away last row against the wall from the stage - the lights from the stage were pointed right at us. We were blinded almost the entire night. We couldn't even watch the screens for the lights. Is there a way to notify the people in charge of the lighting that they need to make sure they are not blinding anyone. I have already lost some of my hearing due to the amount of concerts (mostly GD), I really don't want to lose my eyesight due to them..... Other than that light issue - the sound was awesome, the fans were awesome, and the music was on point!

Well, I had a few...

...I was wondering which live version of Althea was included on the Go to Heaven expanded cd. I did some sleuthing and found the version most definitely is from 10-23-80. It's only listed as 10-80 on the track listing. So, in case anyone else is interested in these kinds of things... P.S. There are two other tracks from this run where there aren't precise dates given. They are Row Jimmy and High Time. These tracks are featured on the Dead Set expanded cd (with the date 10-80). The correct dates for these are 10-10-80 and 10-25-80 respectively.

30 Days Snag.

Loving the 30 Days but for some reason 'Operator' and 'Althea' refuse to join the rest of the songs. I have an Apple and the songs have downloaded but they will not enter the same folder as the other 24 songs! Anyone know why?

30 days of the dead-playlist help

Does anyone have the date,venue and the tidbit info for November 27-30th? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

How to add Shows Attended to my dead.net profile?

Hello. I have been a registered member of the site for ... well, how many years now I can't immediately recall. Every time I sign in, my profile pops with the following message: You have not marked any Show as Attended yet!!! I, however, am unable or otherwise not smart enough to figure out where to add my shows attended. What am I missing? Thanks, Daddy_Dead

Buying Digital Downloads From Amazon In Europe

Hi,
I dunno it this is the right place to post this.

I live in France. I want to buy Ladies & Gentlemen The Grateful Dead as a digital download. I look on Amazon France but they don't have it listed so I can't buy it there.

I go to Amazon UK, find it, put it in my basket & then try to buy it with my UK credit card. It is refused. I ask Amazon UK why, & they explain it's because my UK credit card has my French address.

OK, I talk to my daughter who has a credit card with an English address. She tries to order it, & on the product listing it says "This product is not available for your device" because her phone is in Beijing, though her bank is in UK.

So why do Amazon France sell some Dead recordings but not others which are readily available on Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain (I just checked) ? & how do I get a copy of Ladies & Gentlemen The Grateful Dead living in France?

UPDATE : After spending half a day on the phone to Amazon Customer support, they finally made Ladies & Gentleman available on the French site, as well as a few other missing recordings - Postcards of the Hanging & Winter Solstice were 2 that I noticed. I can't understand why they don't just synchronise the European sites.

Licensing images for use

Hi - Long time fan, first time caller. I am looking for direction. Specifically, I am building a boat, and I am planning on sailing it around the world. I'd like to use modified versions of GD iconography/images. I want to do it on the up & up- and would like to acquire rights to do so. Initially, I do not view this as a commercial endeavor, but eventually there may be some commercialization.

Does anyone have contact info for the licensing people that I would need to contact?

yes and no

There is no user search function. However, if you start a message and type in a likely name it will present you with a lot of options. This only helps if you sorta know the name they're going by. The flip side of this is getting friend requests on FB from people you have no idea who they are and they're all "Hey, it's me, HippyDude!"

3/25/1972 setlist corrections

I have 2 corrections for 3/25/72

1. I've Seen Them All is in between I'm A Man and Jam - Dick's Picks #30

2. Following the Lovelight was a Casey Jones which ended the show - I was there. They launched into Casey Jones just as the final notes of Lovelight faded.

Still aware that it isn't here and still working on it? It's a shame that the new "crack team" of web designers were so easily outdone by their grandfathers.
