I realize this is vague, for which I apologize. Most of all, I am sorry that there is a lot less great music on the site.

That said, my initial feeling was not quite that of the day Jerry passed, but it was in the same block. I am horrified.
I would love to help work with anyone else who wants to try to get something else started, whether it be trading hard drives, starting a new site, or resorting to the oldschool way of postage & blanks. Please let me know where to go or what to do - I need direction & want to help. Thanks. Benjamin M. St. Clair

because the files aren't deleted. they are just 'dark' .. the shows may come back some day, and when the GDP says so, the shows can all come back in a click of a mouse. If you don't play nice, that day may never come. if you do, it all might come back..

What was here before this negative event occured was a great source for listening to music, downloading music, reading the excellent posts about how great the show was and the experience of those who attended the show. This brought people together. Today's actions only serves to tare them apart. And done on the day before thanksgiving shows no heart, soul or class.
That being said hopefully the powers that be will provide us with some information on why this action was taken and any steps that can be made to remedy the situation.
I for have never traded before and this site opened up a whole new world to me. I would gladly pay a fee to bring back the music that was so abruptly taken away from. I can only hope that something is being discussed and worked on so that we can get back to enjoying the music.

6-16-74 and 6-18-74 are two shows that I love but never had the chance to download.
Thanks for your help.

I am very sad to lose such a wonderful resource. I want to thank everyone who made this possible while it lasted.
This site was the THE GREATEST.
I got about 200 shows while it lasted, and I am willing to share!
We we all have to find a new way to keep the spirit of this community alive.
I am looking forward to knowing you all on a more personal basis, because sharing shows will now have to be done differently.
It would be cool if we could keep adding to the collection of reviews, as I find them entertaining an informative. Maybe we could keep the reviews somewhwere else, where the could be added to.
I'll miss you all... until we meet again
Thank You, Matt in Humboldt

I want to thank the Archive for all that they did in providing us with this invaluable resource. While this resource has been appreciated by all of us to the utmost level, I had a particular appreciation for this resource because I am an academic and had/have been using these recordings as a resource in my scholarship on the Dead (something that I think speaks directly to the overall purpose of the Archive as an online library). The fact that these shows have been removed is disappointing, to say the least. Like many of you, I was actually in the middle of downloading a show (from October 1968) when the music stopped, so to speak. What a drag.
Since it now looks like we're back to the pre-IA days, I'd like to say that I do have more than 1,000 hours of shows from pre-Dead through 1995 and have cataloged them in a MS Excel file and would be willing to trade shows with anyone who is interested. These shows are in MP3 format, so that probably eliminates about half those who would be interested. Also, I don't have a whole lot of time for burning, so you'd have to be patient with me. Nevertheless, the silver lining in all this is that we as Deadheads may get to know each other better as a community as a result of this decision. If you're in the S.E. PA area, we could even meet up and get to know each other and build some friendships and listen to some shows together while we're copying each other's shows. Deadheads are nothing if not resourceful, and if we are resourceful, we may find some good that can come from this seemingly shortsighted decision.
If you'd like a copy of my Excel file, please e-mail me at

This dirty laundry needs to be aired. How are we to know who to write if we don't know who's decision it is? How do we even know what the relevant arguments are?
Honesty is the best policy.

Even if the GDM asked that their correspondance not be shared, that's not legally binding. Just a nice request. Why play nice with the dead when they won't play nice with us?
