re: Grateful Dead

They don't have to print a million copies. But when they sell out, they should print more. It encourages piracy and profiteering otherwise. Some people who would like to buy a copy will either copy one from a friend or pay an inflated price on the secondary market. They could sell FLACs and let people burn their own copies (or listen to them on another medium).

I'm still kicking myself for not rushing to download every soundboard from archive.org while they were available. I just assumed they always would be available.

Peggy-O just hit my ears for the first time in awhile listening to shows. 5/19/77 in ATL. What a great tune.

today 46 years ago the dead played began a two-nite run at the berkeley community theatre. these shows are excellent

08/14/71

good combo of pigpen, country-americana, and psychedelic weirdness

check out the schedule at the BCC that month

check out the alligator>caution from 12/12/69
