I love the Grateful Dead but this site has problems

You guys coulda made another $500.00 bucks offa me above and beyond all those winterland tickets I bought back in da day... but I forgot my password and you have this infuriaTING CIRCULAR THING THAT JUST KEEP S sending me around and around(hey.. there could be a song there!) However I just listened to Jerry solo on Hes gone and it filled me with such renewed admiration for the way he could express his emotions through melody... I always lived for those sublime moments when he just squeezed every bit of his heart out in every note and sent me on a roller coaster ride of emotion. I miss Jerry the musician cuz that all he wanted to be and he was damn good at it. A nice guy too.. I met him a coupla times in Cotati. Anyways, I wanted to buy that Wichita tape that you gave me a nibble of and WTF!! Its sold out...Cmon u guys,, u got one more to sell me .. for old times.. all those 2am dinners at IHOP after a dead show... the tuesday nights and thursdays were always the best.. I skipped the Saturday night s after a while cuz Jerry always got most inspired when he didnt feel obligated to. I hope Phil sees this.. I'd like to share with him this little pure nugget of musical wisdom that Jerry said to me when we talked.. I think he might appreciate it.

To me it's kind of like Dead

To me it's kind of like Dead archaeology, like when they excavated Rancho Olompali and found all those records. It's an historical event that may have left behind historical artifacts of one sort or another. The one bit of history I have found, and I don't know accurate it is alludes to John Williams being a program director around that time. But as an historical event created to span some length of time it does have a beginning, a middle and an end, with a unique plot arc spanning that length. So if anyone has information about this, please post it. If the bet hasn't been paid off, it might even be worth getting the two together again, if for no other reason than historical closure.

Good question. I know someone knows the answer to this one around here. I have a vague recollection we were just talking about this a few years ago...

An off the wall question about a bit of Dead lore/history

I am unable to start threads, so someone suggested this link to me to reply to an existing thread. 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.

RSD 4-19-14

Why is there no info. from Dead.net about the Hampton '79 release? It's only a week until the release date. I wonder if this a Rhino release, a Dead.net sponsored release, or a third party release? I'd have thought they would be hyping it up on the home page by now. For a 'listening party' check the DaP 9 thread, I posted five links of stuff David Lemieux has played over the years on the Taper's Section. If you are viewing the comments in newest first, it is post number 1508. If you are viewing them oldest first it is post number 922.

Need some navigational assistance? Something not making sense? Ask here and we'll try to solve the problem!

Similar to the Road Trips, any chance Dave's Picks show up on ITunes? I'm late to the party. Hope to start with 24 and the subscription for 2018. Would love a chance to grab some of the previous releases. Same question regarding the 30 trips box. Would be great to have access to them as well. Thanks.

Archived Tapers Section access

I paged back within the Tapers Section this morning, looking for a features from October 2009: the chronological order goes wacky before 2011. Is there some way to find the older selections?I refererenced this index to find and listen to parts of the 10/19/80 show. https://archive.org/post/336569/deadnet-tapers-section-chronological-in…

this is a known issue

which is being addressed as time permits. I'll ask how it's going. Thanks!

How about a topic of Kindness?

Hey now, Just received the help needed.I asked for an act of Kindness, I lost my Dave's Picks 24, I request help, 2 members helped me out, and in return I helped them back. This is great, now would like to see a Pay It Forward, or an act of "Are You Kind" only topic.

we do have that, sorta

Try the Help on the Way thread: http://www.dead.net/forum/help-way And well done to helpful folks everywhere.

Are you Kind?

Marye, Help on the way ! Fantastic, I will do that right now,Thank you.

Suggestion for where to post

Hi there- New to Dead.net, got an idea how to navigate, but could use some assistance finding the best place to post a request for assistance on a project. I am producing a photo book on the closing of Winterland. I am seeking fellow Deadheads who were at the show to share their stories for inclusion in my book. Where might be the best place to get a request like that seen? I have an email account where people can reach me for more details and to communicate about the project. Thanks for your assistance. Jarid

this actually has pretty good visibility

but send me a PM if you don't hear from folks. I myself was not there so I have no tales!

yes, help please- where did…

yes, help please- where did the "my shows" tab go?
thanks Lance

My Shows

got derailed in the transition. We're aware of this and working on it. Thank you!

track function?

When you click on a user (by the way, clicking on user not functional from every thread as it had been on prior site), the track function is no longer available. Any thoughts about bringing this function back so we can track a user's posting activity history?

November 30 Days of Dead Free Downloads

Hi - Looking for a bit of help. Downloaded the free set in 2017 but a couple of the tracks are corrupted, also thought I had a similar download set from 2016 but cannot find it. Anyone have these that they could share? Thanks.

reporting

both these things, thanks.

"How come things are so strange around here?"

-edit- marye :-P You can say that again!

access to database

Hi,

I am a software engineer experimenting with some data visualization technics. I would love to get a copy of the show database to experiment with. This is not for any commercial purpose and I'm happy to open source any resulting visualizations.

Does anyone know where I might get a copy of the show DB?

thanks,
Joshua

I would suggest

contacting the DeadBase folks.

GD Covers Contest or Exposition

Hi Mary, I recently read about a contest or exposition of Grateful Dead covers by other bands. I couldn't find any detail anywhere. Nor can I find the original source. Have you heard anything? Was I just hallucinating?

Thanks! Jim G

Maybe the Dead Covers Project?

Which should be coming around again soonish, but meanwhile, here's the DCP from earlier this year: http://www.dead.net/features/dead-covers-project-2018/dead-covers-project-2018

My Shows

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.

Um, Can these possibly be replanted?

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.

hi is it possible to search…

hi is it possible to search through registred users? to send a message to someone?

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!"

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?

Sailing

let me see what I can find out.
