deadhead's taping addendum
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.
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.
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.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST THREE VOLUMES
"The most invaluable tool for Deadheads since the roach clip."
STU SCHIMMEL, co-host of WBAI's Morning Dew radio show in NYC.
"The Taper's Compendium provides a valuable resource to all Grateful Dead
tape traders. The research is first-rate, and the descriptive analysis of
tapes in circulation allows tapers to compile a wish-list of shows they can
herein ascertain exist on tape."
--DAVID LEMIEUX, Grateful Dead Vault Archivist
"These books can be read on any one of several levels: If you're a Dead fan,
it's a chronicle of the band's career. If you're not a Dead fan, it's a
clear-eyed chronicle of a band's life during the late 20th century. The
reportage is meticulous, the writing graceful. Any way you cut it, it's a
journalistic and artistic accomplishment."
--TIM KISKA, Detroit News
"Finally, something that puts it all together!"
--HARVEY LUBAR, member of the Hell's Honkies Tape Club
