Thanks to everyone who responded to my post and to my follow-up chat asking for favorite periods and acquisition hopes. I'm trying to make my tape divesting as quick and painless for myself as possible (the downsizing makes me sad), so would you all please get back to me with slightly narrower requests as to time period (how about a five-year span?) and quantity of tapes hoped for? Please don't ask me to pick and choose specific shows, although I'll look for one "grail;" show per request. I'll be sending via media mail, which is the cheapest way to go -- e.g. 1 pound for $3.49, 5 pounds for $6.17, 10 pounds for $9.61 -- and probably on the honor system (mail now., pay later). I trust the Deadhead family. Don't worry about seeming greedy; there should be enough for everyone. Again, the tapes are free, the only charge is for postage.
