Welcome to this ancient tape list -- first posted on the Web in mid 1995. I used to trade a fair amount of tapes, and was a taper on and off from '87 to '93. I'm still looking for a real good copy of my first Dead show: William & Mary Hall 9/12/73.
If you have a high quality copy of that show to trade, and see something here you'd like, email me: gordon@hake.com. Please understand that I am too busy to spin for blanks, and may not be able to respond to every email, although I do try. Thanks, and happy browsing!

Quality Ratings: A+ Master soundboards. The stuff you'd hear at Healy's house. A Near-perfect tapes. The best I've got. Only low generation soundboards and excellent FM tapes qualify. A- Very good sounding tapes, but not quite up to the above standards. This is the highest rating I give an audience tape--even my best masters. B+ Real strong tapes, but with some hiss or minor problems. If you want the show, don't hesitate. B These tapes are just "OK". They have hiss and/or other problems. You know the deal. B- These tapes have a substantial problem, but are still listenable. Must've been a great show--or I was there and haven't found a better copy. C Sound pretty bad---Why do I keep these dogs? See above reasons...
