Please correct the lyrics of "Viola Lee Blues" to:

The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it
Clerk he wrote it down, indeedy
Judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down
Give you this jail sentence, you'll be Nashville bound

Some got six months, some got one solid
Some got one solid year, indeedy
Some got six months, some got one solid year
But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

I wrote a letter, I mailed it in the
Mailed it in the air, indeedy
I wrote a letter, I mailed it in the air
You may know by that, I've got a friend somewhere

Thanks

Here's why - words missing and misspelled
Punctuation a bit off
"Indeedy" is commonly accepted for colloquial use

Omni, not Oakland as listed in the ‘Shows Attended’ list for me.
I could enter the date but the location was autofilled.

Yes, that is correct.

"And all that could not sink of swim were just left there to float" is shown in the lurics page for Ship of Fools & I could be wrong but I think its "was" not "were. Double check me but I think its actually
"And all that could not sink of swim was just left there to float"

Again, double check me but I really think its was

Have a good night! Thank you!

CBABS ... The boys played Red Rocks 7/27/82, 7/28/82 and 7/29/82. I was at all three very wet, but glorious shows. BTW, all my 3 stubs look the same, except for the date.......tc

Two of my first GD Red Rocks shows were 7/29/1982 and 6/14/1984. I only know this because I found a box with a bunch of my old ticket stubs in it. When I search the archives for these shows the archives are one day off, showing both shows a day earlier than the ticket stub. Am I missing something? Did they shift the schedule and honor the previously purchased tickets? Help!

liner notes erratum on ready or not:

To Mr. Lemieux or GD dead net staff:
Hey Now!
I recently purchased the CD Ready or Not and noticed a factual error in the liner notes by Jesse Jarnow. I write in hopes that the error is corrected for future releases if more batches of this cd are produced.

The error can be found on the first sentence of the second paragraph. " Starting in 1992, the Grateful Dead began to introduce songs that might constitute a follow-up album to 1989's In The Dark..." As you know the album released in 1989 was Built to Last not In The Dark.

I point this out so that new releases can reflect the history of our favorite band accurately.

Not Fade,

Aaron Reyes

PS Too bad Phil Lesh songs where not included....I am perhaps one of the few fans that liked Wave to the Wind...always considered it to be Phil's "Eyes of the World"....In particular the NC Chapel Hill 3/25/93 is a version that finally takes form and flies!

When I type "brendan byrne arena" or "brendan byrne" in venues search, nothing shows up, like at all? What up with that?

thanks for your sharing, i will follow your information

A real mystery here: I was at Meet Up At The Movies and did NOT see I Need A Miracle. I've checked setlists everywhere. Yet here is a video from youtube that shows them playing it. They are ALL wearing the same clothes. Then I found a video from 6/16/91 on youtube taken from the audience. This song is on it. But why oh why are they all wearing the same clothes two nights in a row???
