dead.net the official site

Try refreshing your browser after logging in. This has worked for me in the past. I'm using Firefox.

And this morning it seems fixed! Just allowed me to post. Thanks everyone.

Hey Marye. Can't sleep so I thought I'd see if anyone else was on chat but it won't let me in. I'm logged into the site (obviously) but when I go to dead.net/chat the top right goes from my avatar to the silhouette and the page says I must be logged in to use Chat. If I click the silhouette, it takes me to my page (no re-login needed), but if I go again to the chat URL, it goes back to not logged in.

Apparently all I need to is write this and <ctrl>F5 on the chat page, and I'm in! Long strange trip.

Peace,

-Dave

I just came back today and I am loving the new website and the design it has a great look to it!

I have several ideas for merchandise. Please let me know whom I can talk to about submitting them. Thank you!!!

Mary,

Initially this was about chat not working, but I cleaned my cache and now it appears to be working so all is good.

Oh, and if you look in this forum, there appear to be a bunch of spam in here now.

Peace,

-Dave

wow , been a long time since I have been here. Glad to see Marye is still here
hello all

sorry it took so long , LOVE

Hi, so glad I made it!
So, how hard is it to post stub and show photos in the show archive?
Thanks!

Can't find my stories i wrote about shows I was at.
All I can find is the first paragraph of my story about 2/2/69 Minneapolis Labor Temple.
Did I do something wrong? Is all that server space too expensive to hold all the gigabytes of memories?

Hi, So glad I made it!

Welcome back!

reading MY SHOWS was a very big deal for me . I went to the Giants stadium Movie nite and decided to go back to see other comments about that nite .. Wow took out my favorite part of this site

Agreed, hard to locate but they are there...

The new site looks legit, I love design, icons and color selection. ALso, search button works really well, I can find what I need in a matter of seconds.

The new site is alright with me. So grateful you're here. The new format feels good

Thanks to Dead.net for the great T-Shirts. Is there anyway to post a pic? Is dead.net on Facebook?

I just purchased the Giants Stadium box download in 24_192 flac and only received the 16_44 files

Only received 1 folder for 89’ show. Sounds great! But files are not 192/24FLAC and missing all other shows? I’ve emailed and waiting to hear back. Anyone else have problems?

That seems to happen a lot with new releases.

Go to the comments section of the GS Box page.

Hi, I’m new to the site. Looks great, and I can’t wait to explore more. I have a question - are we allowed to post Grateful Dead items for sale on this page, and if so, what section? I have a Fisher Grateful Dead Mountain bike I would like to sell. Thanks in advance!

Awww .... I miss it . It was fun counting off the days . Merry Happy everybody !

How do I make a post? I am throwing a music festival for the rainforest action network called box of rainforest and am looking for sponsorship to pay the bands so we can fundraise money for the organization

The new site is alright with me. So grateful you're here.

Uh, so, this Dekalb '77 show is somewhat legendary, and I read Dave's intro to it, and listened to Jack Straw with an open mind. As a Deadhead since the early mid-70's, who eventually migrated, landed, live, procreated in the promised land, aka Bay Area, and greater NorCal, I feel as though I have a pretty fair grasp of what an amazing GD performance entails, as I've seen these guys do their thing live around 300 times, with dozens of other Jerry Band, and various other related band member side shows under my belt, as well. This version of J Straw was pretty good, a couple of clunkers aside, and, I would certainly not judge the rest of the show from that fact, as I know that...pretty good can quickly turn amazing, but...I guess I'll have to listen to the entire tape of the show again, something not done in years. By comparison, the J Straw from New Haven Coliseum from May of that same year, a show which i attended, in my opinion included one of the greatest versions of this epic Bobby tune ever performed or recorded. Of course it was eventually released as part of Dick's Picks 25, which was very satisfying, and provided somewhat belated validation to the opinions of myself and friends that this was also an epic performance that ranks high in the pantheon of killer shows...including the many NYE shows, Greek and Warfield and Oakland Auditorium, and other shows I've seen from AK to MA. Parts of this show are, quite simply, some of the greatest music i've ever seen, and I've pretty much seen most great rock, blues, jazz artists who have performed live since...the mid-70's. I think a quick listening/comparison of...the two Jack Straws is warranted. I plan on playing both shows, back-to-back for comparison, and, while this is not a contest, I am interested in the sound, interplay/improvisational quality, and...the purity and quality of the individual songs, and how the whole coalesces. Hey, what better way to spend a rainy Winter Saturday afternoon. Don' answer that.
As to the new site...So I'm having a little trouble figuring out where I should'a directed this 2-cents worth of opinion, as it just isn't clear what forum/forums pertain to what, or if there is a general comment forum, or...i dunno.
I don't get to shows anymore(D&Co), though have made it to TxRoads a couple years ago to see Phil+ outside...a great venue! But...there is a lot of amazing, jamming, heartfelt music in r&r, blues, country/swing coming out'a NorCal these days, and...I often hear the influence of the solid ground and vast body of improvisational work "the boys"(sorry DJ) have laid down and pioneered for the past 50+ years. Hopefully, somewhere JG can hear, and is smiling. In that sense...The Dead will truly never die. Absolutely part of the collective musical cultural consciousness of their time, into the future. Yip.

...Straw from one show to another, so this would be a fun comparison

Great $0.02 - Enjoyable history lesson. I've had both those shows on tape for a quarter-century now... will have to pull them out to do the comparison of Jack Straws. Thanks!

PHIL !!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Been watching your streaming concerts all day long! YOU ROCK, PHIL !!!!!! Love ya, man!

Just received the 15 CD Liberty box set in Australia. The sound quality and the music are amazingly clear and absorbing. And thanks also for the streamed One More Saturday Night. That was my first experience of Dead & Co with John, Jeff and Otiel. The band sounds wonderful, and the DeadHead comments very welcoming. Incredibly generous and community building when we all need it. Thanks so much.

I'm a new member to this site but a dead fan since the late 60s. The first concert I attended was May 9, 1970 at the Cage at Worcester Polytech. I sat on the oval track above the band, our feet dangling near their heads. I went out and bought beer for the band at the first break and came back to the gym and the audience was down to 75. Second set went on for hours and they rocked. Very intimate. Friend of the Devil and Deep Elam blues were special. Next time I saw them was their long sound check at Watkins Glenn.

Hi all!

I hope you are all enjoying a peaceful day or night depending on your longitude. I am very lost and I’m hoping a kind soul can guide my walk. I want to find my American Beauty. I’ve splashed many ripples as I have traveled alone. Gratefully I’ve seen much within this box of rain but my attic craves my sugar magnolia.

I cannot tell friend from devil. I do not even know if I am asking correctly or if I can even ask... but if you have a warrant, I guess your gonna come in. So Hey! Can any one honestly help me because I will keep truckin. Enjoy all you can!
J.

Hello everyone. I am a new member of this dead community,Nice meeting you.

Hi there
I've been waiting a long time to recieve my copy of Dave's Picks . Feeling a bit disappointed by the responses to my emails. Can anyone help me on this.
Many thanks

Hi MaryE!
I'm a longtime Deadhead (since 1968), and I am a collector of the Dead's music. I love physical media (CDs DVDs, etc.), and I would love to see a physical release of the wonderful release of The Angel's Share.
Is there any possible chance of this? I'm an old guy, and not too interested in streaming. I'd love a chance to own this on CD. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for listening!
Randy

Get the Grateful Dead off Facebook. Surely Facebook does not reflect who we are? Who the Dead is?

Facebook Decisions Were ‘Setbacks for Civil Rights,’ Audit Finds

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/technology/facebook-civil-rights-aud…

I m new here so want to say hello to all

Hii how are u guys omg that's so nice here

Well, I try to keep in touch! So many roads I have already taken that I loved and hopefully many more in these challenging times. Bummed all the shows I marked were lost in the remodel, the up grades means a lot of things are lost. Well, I guess I will go through the old passes and tickets again, oh the agony!!! I attended my faire share and you know I love the Oregon Country Fair too. Have a fabulous day and keep on trucking brothers and sisters, it is not easy and I feel so lonely, but our spirits are strong and we will get by, we will survive. Sending lots of love to you and hoping I will keep feeling yours.

I have been trying to get folks to transition to MeWe, but it cannot draw or has the pull of FB, keep calling Mark out on his stuff and use it as a good hammer with some serious slivers. Pull them out.

Hi everyone.

hi!
