+AtlantaGal Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Congrats again!

+Super_Nate Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) When you said that Parents of SAM was so close yet so far, I went to Google and found that they did a show the very next day at the place in Missouri! So I was going to guess it, when I found someone else already did! Oh well, it was a close call! Can't wait for the new one! *** Congrats Nocturnal Navigators on the win, reading AG's mind *** Edited February 22, 2006 by Super_Nate Quote Link to comment

I'd like to burn those last shows on CD and now I can with DSL I do have 1st gen audience tapes from the DAT masters, but they're on cassettes currently. Two years ago, when we were moving into our new home, I liberated 780 Dead shows on cassettes. Most all of the shows were on at least two cassettes and a whole lot on 3 cassettes each. I had been collecting them since 1977. This was obviously before the internet. Was hard work back in the day. Post office new me well . I replaced most of my faves and shows I attended, only around 100, with CD’s. They were just taking up way to much room. They now have a very nice new home and are appreciated. OK, next contest!! I want one of those coins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) Bigwaves, I did the same thing a few years ago with the exception of the CD part. I went from about 900 hours of cassettes to now 90 hours. I will eventually get the 90 burned on CDs. Lucky for me, the shows prior to 1980 were not something I "had to have" (maybe cause I didn't see them back then ). It was hard work, but all the bubble mailers in the mailbox and being taken to the post office were just like the coins, lol. We all should have owned stock in Maxelle too! You know, I remember spinning tapes to the point of burning through 2 tape decks one year. Ahhh, the good ole days?! Edited February 21, 2006 by AtlantaGal Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Final Contest Same rules as all the others. A new day will begin tomorrow at 10:34 a.m. EST should someone not guess the correct answer before then. Everyone starts with a clean slate for the day now. Only folks exempt are prior winners (and their families) and Cymbaline. Anyone else is welcome to participate. Contest Question: How many Grateful Dead shows did I attend in 1995? (Note: the cancelled show doesn't count) Remember this is for the antique silver non-trackable SYF coin pictured below. Quote Link to comment
+Jagman714 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Probably on the low side. 5 concerts Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) 12 Ding... Ding... Ding. Congrats Kcart Send me your mailing addy and I'll have a coin out to you later this week! Yep, an even dozen shows that final year. I remember scheduling all my work vacation time around the spring and summer shows. I just had a bad feeling that there wouldn't be too many more I'd get a chance to see. I figured the band would stop touring, not that Jerry would die Looking back, I am VERY glad I chose to see as many as I did. 3/22 - Charlotte 3/26, 3/27, 3/29 and 3/30 - Atlanta 4/4 & 4/5 - Birmingham 6/24 & 6/25 - RFK 7/2 - Deer Creek 7/5 & 7/6 - St Louis (eventhough it was actually a 'burb of) I also still have 3 unused tickets from the Boston Garden that was scheduled for September 1995. I refused to send them back for a refund. I wanted to remember that the GD Garden run was to be the last event held there before they tore it down.

ParentsofSAM Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Oh yes I am so rude! Thank you so much Atlanta Gal for the chances (not just one but 3) to win some coins! This was fun I learned a lot of things I did not know before. Like who knew the Grateful Dead had SO MANY songs! :P Quote Link to comment
+mikefromtheburg Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I agree - Thank you very much. I had fun frantically searching for Grateful Dead info. Maybe the winners of the coins here could post a similar contest. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted February 21, 2006 Author Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yep PoSAM, they play a heck of a lot of songs. That was the big lure to see them so often. You never, ever would see the same exact show twice (unlike most touring bands that have a set list that varies only slightly if at all from all the other scheduled shows of their tours). Every show was different and you never knew what songs you would hear. And even the songs themselves varied from season to season and year to year. Just an amazing musical experience. 10 years seeing that band... from my 1st show my Jr year of highschool to the last show in MO with the CFO of the company I worked for at the time (he was one of Jerry's kids too!) Seems like a lifetime ago. Really remembered A LOT of things these past few days. Thanks to everyone who participated Quote Link to comment
