What is this?

Yes I am a “Dead Head”.

Over the years I have collected a huge amount of live Dead shows. I have over 600 cassette tapes of live Dead.

Welcome the digital age. I have been thinking about those tapes lately and decided I would take on the task of getting those tapes off cassette and digitized. So that is what this is all about! I want to get a list of the shows I have on tape and a place to document my process.

If you are a like minded individual please drop me a line. Maybe we could trade some shows, or just talk “Dead”.

Key

A ">" contained in a set song list represents one song flowing into another, no break in-between.

SDB = Soundboard
AUD = Audience

All sets and encores listed are complete and I have all the audio listed.

--- Except ---

Sets and encores highlighted in yellow. I have audio of highlighed songs. I have choosen to list the whole set or all encores to show the audio in context.

Header dates highlighted in red are "fillers" and are located at the end of a tape to fill and finish the tape. I will be documenting in the show notes what tape the are on.

Header dates highlighted in blue have been converted to digital. Not to many of these yet =(

Need help with some of the abbreviated song tiles?

Check out the abbreviation table I have created to help out.
