Orders are now being accepted for The Deadhead's
Taping Addendum, the final installment of the
critically acclaimed, award winning series, The
Deadhead's Taping Compendium (Vols. 1-3). This final
addition specifically addresses the onslaught of newly
circulating music that has surfaced since our last
publication, and is an essential companion to the
first three volumes, containing a wealth of
information and new data for both new tapers and old
school veterans alike. It also stands quite tall as an
enjoyable read by itself.
The Addendum will include in-depth reviews and
analysis of over 175 newly circulating performances.
The majority of these shows are derived from the
highly sought after pre-1975 period of the Grateful
Dead's career, and are all reported on by the
community's most prized writers and scholars.
Additionally, the Addendum will include an interview
and step by step historical recounting with the
Legendary Marty Weinberg. After being reported MIA for
the past 25 years, Marty recently resurfaced after
reading about himself and his legendary status in
Volume 1. Marty shares the remarkable stories of his
East Coast taping experiences from 1969-1971 in great,
glorious detail. You'll be amazed to hear the lengths
that this pioneer of our community went to capture
this experience and preserve it for all of us. Of
course, also included will be the long awaited
definitive listing of Marty's Master Reels, thus
allowing tapers and traders alike to correctly
identify the source of their until now questionable
audience recordings.
Didn't bid high enough on eBay? Well, here's the next
best thing. Join us while we take a tour of the
Grateful Dead's Vault with Jeffrey Norman. Come walk
through the fabled Vault with us while Jeffrey shares
his knowledge of each historical section, down every
eye-popping aisle. Very rare photographs, by Eliza
Bundledee, provide a sumptuous background to Jeffrey's
illuminating interview.
The Addendum also features a very special Tribute To
Dick Latvala. Long known as the Taper's Best Friend,
Dick is given the red carpet treatment he deserves
here. Heartfelt recollections, amusing stories and
touching insights permeate each recollection from
those that knew Dick best: Robert Hunter, Mickey Hart,
Dennis McNally, Steve Silberman, Nathan Wolfson, Pat
Lee, Eddie Claridge, Carol Latvala, Rich Latvala,
Kevin Shapiro (Archivist for Phish), Rob Bertrando,
Kirk West (Archivist for The Allman Brothers Band),
Harvey Lubar, Jeffrey Norman, Dr. Bob Wagner, Kidd
Candelario, and Christi Lamb Vogel.
Ever wonder exactly what Dick felt were THE hottest,
most interesting songs and jams? Culled from Dick's
own well-worn Deadbases, J-cards and notebooks, here
is a list of what Dick felt were the Dead's most
distinguished song versions and exciting, unique
instrumental passages.
Have you ever wondered how the Vault Archivist himself
notated his recordings? You'll find many examples of
exactly how Dick marked and measured a show's
performance with this sampling from his own private
collection. You won't help but be moved by the
illustration of passion captured in these rare
reproductions.
Due to the influx of new data since Volume 1's
publication in 1998, we have carefully updated and
corrected all of the first three volumes, bringing the
entire series up to date in one chapter enclosed here
in our Addendum.
Curious about where Dick might be these days? Then
check out "Dick's Jam In The Afterlife" and read about
how Dick goes toe to toe with an afterlife guardian in
this provocative, humorous and touching what-if fable.
Of course, the Addendum wouldn't be complete without
the inclusion of ticket stubs, rare photographs, and
the updated Resources section.
