after the end of the USSR, Lithuania could not afford to send their basketball team to the '92 Olympics. the Grateful Dead helped sponsored them- and provided outfits in Lithuania's national colors of red, yellow, and green. the team took the bronze.

But my minidisc player is in a shoe box in my mom’s attic. I bet there is some live DMB on those minidiscs too.

Ill Pile on the CD player train here and say I bought a used 5 disc changer specifically for Dead shows so I didn’t have to get up at all. Totally worth the eye rolls I received when I brought that baby through the door.

I do much prefer CDs when it comes to the Dead - the quality is still there and let’s it flow better. But I will say there are a lot of LP sides that I will spin just to hear a segment or specific jam. I rarely listen to an entire show on vinyl, but I will listen to 2-4 sides in a row. That being said, I pick and choose my Dead LPs very carefully.

I'm seriously debating getting one to put all the vinyl-only stuff on so i can take them out on hikes etc. So uh. LMK if you want to sell it.

Ha! I doubt I’d sell it. Currently it’s over 3,000 miles away and I have no clue if it is in working order but I suspect if I had it, and it was working, I would probably end up using it myself.

@Lee Newman did yours ever show up? I'm in the same boat with the tracking.

Nope. I emailed them and they sent a ba response about long times and tracking not updating till delivery. Tracking shows they haven’t sent it yet. I’ll give them another week and then I’ll hit them with that knowledge.

As disappointed as I am at having to wait for this, I wish more places had that kind of integrity for their pressings. Willing to wait for one that sounds good!

I'm still relatively new to the Dead scene (actually given the overwhelming breadth, I think I'll always be new to it), so this may be old news to you all, but I am enjoying going through Dead Notes which Aquarium Drunkard just re-uploaded.
I'm only a few in, but looking forward to checking out the rest. They kick them off with Pigpen doing Good Lovin' at Princeton in 1971.

Anyone have thoughts on the Garcia Volume Two box? Prices are pretty low on Discogs and was thinking of picking one up.

Is dead.net always this slow in shipping? Does their CS always respond so generically and poorly to inquiries?
My Skull and Roses was “shipped” on 6/23. USPS stills says they haven’t received it. On 7/6 they were like shipping sucks right now. Today they were like have you tried checking UPS? in response to an email that said USPS says they don’t have it and UPS says it doesn’t exist. They then suggested I wait ten more days. Both emails were obviously canned responses. Reminds me of VMP.

Same exact response and situation here. I'm on day 7 of 10 on their wait until they said they'd look into it.
