  7. Hi all--is anyone else having trouble accessing the last two podcasts using iTunes?

    Vermont's August West Fest yesterday in Jay, Vermont was great--a nice gathering of young and old to celebrate Jerry.

    Best,

  9. Sorry to add this to the comments on the 8/8/08 show. Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem. If I go to the itunes store to report a problem, it also gives me an error message. I'm not having trouble with any other podcasts.
    Best,
    Tom

    I'm trying to listen to some of the older Dead Show podcasts and am having trouble with all before 4/28/06. It looks like the servers changed at that time. Does anyone know if the older podcasts were moved to another server and the blogger page was never updated?

    ReplyDelete
  13. some hope, somehow, of running a server at home that could serve out those pages.. Those earlier podcasts lived on my personal PC - after it died and I replaced it with a Vista machine I no longer had the ability to serve up podcasts (albeit a small number at a very slow rate).
    But yes, unfortunately for now they are not available.. Sorry.

    This show was just 2 days before the legendary "Sunshine Daydream" concert in Veneta, OR. That was a great period for the Dead.

  16. This is a very good show but it's an interesting period, after Pigpen and without Mickey, but before the really excellent studio work on Wake of the Flood and Terrapin came out. I think what's really striking here is how good Jerry's vocals are, especially on Black Peter and Friend of the Devil. Let's face it, and I love the band, but singing quality (as opposed to lyrics) were never their strongest suit (although Donna always stood out). So on this show, where the singing is really excellent, it's extra noticeable.

    Hi Professor,

    First, thank you so much for picking out these fantastic shows and making them easily accessible to the masses. It's a wonderful service you provide, and I'm grateful.

    Now then, the podcast XML file ( http://kopn.org/aa/rss/Dead_Show.xml ) doesn't have an entry for this show. It shouldn't matter what podcast software users use; something is wrong on your end. I was able to download the show from the link on your blog though.

    Once again, thanks for enriching all our lives.
