Grateful Dead Live Compilation "30 Trips Around the Sun" *

The scroll is like this but better. https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/60257224

Good luck with the travel/delivery as the box delay saved my bacon. I'm sure UPS can hold it for you.

 

That's really odd. I just signed up for an account and then there was a "Click here for My Choice" and I checked a box agreeing to the My Choice agreement and there I was. I'm not sure where the access code would come in there. I didn't get an email that I had to respond to to verify or anything, it was all done on the UPS site. Hmmm.

 

The delivery is not the problem - my wife can take the package - but the box will just be sitting here for the week. So near yet so far. (It would have been great to take the book w me while traveling.)

And the shipping carton is very cool. E'72 was shipped in a custom carton, but everything since - Spring 90, May 77, Spring 90 TOO - has had a custom carton w related graphics. Pretty classy.

 

I did that and it indicates no deliveries associated with this address. I am in Nevada. WTF ?!

 

It didn't ask me for an access code. When I finished signing up it took me to a page with two tabs. I flipped from one tab to the other and there was the tracking information.

 

Well, I logged on again and it was easy. Must have been a case of user error. Thanks for the replies. Scheduled for Monday, but I've seen that mean anything from Saturday to Wednesday.

 

I also signed up with UPS.
As far as the access code, options to receive were by text or e-mail. I selected "text" and within a second I got a text with the code. I typed it in and I was good to go.
Tracking shows mine arriving Tuesday!

 

When you guys were on UPS, did you see anything on the delivery planner calendar? Because all the dates are blank on mine.

 

Okay, never mind! My UPS address was set to my old address in Michigan. After I changed it to my current address in Hawaii, I got a tracking number. Delivery scheduled for Wednesday!

 

My calendar showed Tuesday delivery from Warner Music Group.

 

Shipping notification/discussion posts: the La Brea Tar Pits of any thread discussing any highly anticipated new release.

 

Right. Saturday, Monday, or possibly never. And they stand by that.

 

Why no shipping notification from Dead.net? Is it because it's Dead.net?

 

I logged into my UPS account and mine should be in the Denver metro area on Monday. huzzah!

 

UPS website says my set will be delivered TODAY!!!!!!

 

Have you cancled your weekend plans?

 

It's time for the resentment post! Brought to you by (who else could it be?) Post.

Post, helps you to get your whataboutism going!

I've read some anxious words written by members of this forum who are receiving their Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary Box (known in trade as "the port crusher") next week, and in some cases, today (maybe right now, while I'm typing). It seems they are in such a strong anxiety frenzy that they are afraid of the possiblity of not surviving long enough to witness the succesful delivery of their package by the strong postmen of UPS. What's left for a poor South American boy like me to do, then? You puny first-world spoiled mommy's boys! I will have to wait for a bleeding entire month, at least, if I'm lucky enough to get through all the exruciating presidential election campaign, because, in case you didn't know, we have elections here, and we have to choose who's going to be the next criminal that will systematically rob us for the next four years. Anxious? Are you feeling anxious? You don't know the first thing about anxiety! Standing on a endless queue praying for the evil customs men to let you have the box you've legally paid for. That's anxiety, and not sitting on your comfy rocking chairs waiting for your smiling postman to come while picking your banjos and sipping sarsaparilla! So, next time, think about how lucky you are.

Joking aside, I'm glad these boxes are finally reaching their happy homes. I hope mine is on its way (to be honest, I'm not expecting any shipping notice from dead.net, I guess they are too busy right now). The set looks great, so thanks to all of those who posted pictures, particularly to @bmoregnr, who sent me a nice illustrative picture (those that should have been provided by the Grateful Dead staff!) of the CD sleeves and the scroll. The liner notes included on each cardboard sleeve are the same featured in the book. I was expecting more by different Dead scholars but, well, we have tons of music to enjoy, and that's the vital thing. The port crusher is kind of expensive when I compare it to my beloved steamer trunk, but it's still a nice way to celebrate this special anniversary for the band.

Thank you all for your precious time!

 

Yes... They still have a few slacker dedhedz working there.

 

Happy ripping everyone.

 

Really enjoying seeing the pics of this set. I'm somewhat having 2nd thoughts about not ordering this set now, but the $700 price tag just really wasn't in the cards for my budget and there's maybe only 10 shows that I'd really want to have and then maybe a handful more that I'd want to hear. It does look like a great package though.

 

Of course.

 

Sell the ones you don't want. I plan to do that on this very forum.

 

So jealous of you guys. Would've loved to have this set. Good listening to all!

 

Except $700 will not buy the set anymore....

I meant to say, "You should have ordered it and sold the ones you didn't want".
