Had access to the Dead Bible...

Posted by musetap on January 3, 2025 at 12:39:01:
in the early 90's, which was (of course) a physical manifestation of what was available to
trade on tape. Also worked at a record shop where that Bible lived and you could swap tapes
and have copies made for the standard price of a blank tape. We had a libary on hand of hundreds of shows.

Woah to the person that mis-filed any tapes!

Not a Dead fan (though even I like Cornell '77) , so much of the "work" was a PIA for myriad reasons.

My admiration though for the Deadication devoted to the entire process even up to that point was very high.

How the Deadhead recorded experience has grown and expanded since then is one of the greatest examples of fandom ever.
Possibly the greatest example, because it's about the music they created, not the "personalities" involved.
