I have to disagree with you here Jim. While I don't particularly
like to think of GDM as being 'Only in it for the money', I think
it's naive to think that the organization has higher motives. The
name of the organization itself 'GD *Merchandising*', to me implies 
that it is a money making operation. It supplies a good at whatever 
charge it sees fit. Once you've bought the T shirt, the money is 
theirs, NOT yours.... What they do with it is really nobody's 
business but their own. Maybe they're making huge profits, maybe not. The
overhead in running a business is substantial, and I'd guess that
the profits are rolled into the whole rest of the Dead income. Maybe
this will help pay the office staff, crew, etc during these times of 
unexpected cancelled shows? 
This may sound overly capitalistic, but I think assuming that the sort
of views which you hold should be held by an organization like GDM is
not realistic.

Yep, it's true. They used to use TDK SA-X tapes for spinning the cassettes
at the soundboard. I don't know about the summer East Coast tour, but back
in May they were no longer running any cassette boards, PCM and DAT only
(which could mean less soundboard tapes in public circulation). But then
these tapes weren't for archival purposes, they were for band members and
GD organization people to listen to.

BTW, the DAT tapes are Ampex. Couldn't tell what kind of VHS tape was being
used (it was VHS, not Beta) for the PCM, as they were just in plain black
cardboard holders with GD printed labels.

Unfortunately it looks like this topic can now be discussed. I'm really
hoping for some Denver December shows, but clearly we can already discuss
the first half of 1992. I base these comments on seeing the last four
shows of Spring Tour and the east coast Summer Tour.
 
Of those I think the best show this year was 3-23-92 at the Palace,
followed by 3-21-92 Hamilton, 6-20-92 RFK and 6-28-92 Deer Creek.
Honorable mention goes to
the 2nd sets on 3-20-92 Hamilton, and 6-18-92 Charlotte. I'd love to have
any and all of those tapes. (And I could use some new tapes as I recently
lost about 3 dozen to theft).
 
Comments? What about the West Coast shows?

George

I don't have much experience with this but let me say this:
1) I haven't noticed this problem so far. All the tapes I have were
recorded on a different VCR than the one I own.

2) If this is true and is prevalent as you seem to imply, wouldn't there
be a lot of noise about this since we're talking about the video signal
also? I mean, wouldn't people who've copied video tapes (w/video on them)
have noticed this by now, and wouldn't it have become an accepted demon
of the medium as say tape hiss is on cassettes?

But now that I'm writing this I'm remembering that a big difference between
VHS and Beta is how the audio track is laid down. Beta's method is supposed
to be superior because it uses more of the tape, or something like that.

So is waht you're saying just specific to the audio tracks?

And also, are you suggesting that VHS cassettes have a lifetime of 5-6
years? What about al those videos in video rental outlets? WHere did
you get this information that video cassettes will only last this long?

	I'm sorry about this, but I have to comment.  What is your basis
for calling the Granite State fascist?  I would call it libertarian, myself.
This summer, I worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee, and one of my
assignments was to review the past decisions of a New Hampshire state
judge, who had been nominated to replace Judge Norman Stahl as the federal
judge for the District of NH (Stahl was bumped up to the Circuit Court
of Appeals, BTW).  Obviously I learned a good bit of the law of my home
state.  I was consistently impressed by the vigor with which the NH
Supreme Court protects individual rights.  In a number of instances, that
court interprets language of the state constitution more broadly than
the US Court treats similar clauses in the US Constitution.  For example,
the search and seizure clause in the NH Const. grants more protection to
the privacy of individuals, than does the US Const.  This is true for
double jeopardy, as well.
	So, my understanding of freedom under NH law is pretty solidly
based on fact.  I just felt the need to give deadheads across the country
(and the planet) an accurate picture of NH, so they would not be
discouraged from visiting a beautiful, if quirky, state.  But we don't
like you Mass-holes coming up to the North Country anyway!  :-) :-) :-)

  How on earth did they get thrown away, you ask??  That magnificent task was

she sent the airline tix back to our travel agent to be refunded (how do you

she says she received the plane tix but no dead ducats...I believe her, she's 
a head herself, runs a travel agency called Ramble on Rose Travel...I guess
the tix were still in the envelope which was thrown away.  There!! I bet 
thats more than you ever wanted to know!!

 You wouldn't happen to know if GDTS can be reached via e-mail, do you??
