dead.net the official site

5/8/77. Please.

This show's a no brainer! Would love an official copy!

Ya man - Red Rocks 8/30/78............. I would luv to here this in SB quality. Only out there in good>very good AUD quality (as far as I know). The version of If I Had The World To Give is stunning. My tape cuts off in Around & Around, just about the time your hurling past Pluto. While I'm here I'll throw in Chicago 8/19/80. Same deal - only out there in Aud source but wow ! One of the best Comes A time. Thanks & Cheers...........Burnout

It's time to reissue Bob Weir's Ace as a remasterd HDCD with bonus tracks

''RED ROCKS 8/30/78---8/31/78

OK, I'm confused now.Peggy-O is an extremely common song for the Dead. Some setlists show it as Fennario but it still sounds like Peggy-O to me. Sorry I can't help. Richard

An excellent show.

That which you seek may be the Bonnie Lass of Fyvie-o, a folk song also known as Fennario. Peggy-O is a variant of this and although Deadbase does not mention it, the Setlists site returns two hits on 'Fennario' 05/25/95- Memorial Stadium - Seattle, WA 06/04/95- Shoreline Amphitheatre - Mountain View, CA Whether the Dead sang a different version in those shows or any others I do not know Here is one version There once was a troop o' Irish dragoons Cam marching doon through Fyvie-o And the captains fall in love wi' a very bonnie lass And her name it was cad pretty Peggy-o There's many a bonnie lass in the Howe o Auchterless There's many a bonnie lass in the Garioch There's many a bonnie Jean in the streets of Aiberdeen But the floor o' them aw lyes in Fyvie-o O come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy, my dear Come doon the stairs, Pretty Peggy-o Come doon the stairs, comb back your yellow hair Bid a long farewell to your mammy-o It's braw, aye it's braw, a captain's lady for to be And it's braw to be a captain's lady-o It's braw to ride around and to follow the camp And to ride when your captain he is ready-o O I'll give you ribbons, love, and I'll give you rings I'll give you a necklace of amber-o I'll give you a silken petticoat with flounces to the knee If you'll convey me doon to your chamber-o What would your mother think if she heard the guineas clink And saw the haut-boys marching all before you o O little would she think gin she heard the guineas clink If I followed a soldier laddie-o I never did intend a soldier's lady for to be A soldier shall never enjoy me-o I never did intend to gae tae a foreign land And I never will marry a soldier-o I'll drink nae more o your claret wine I'll drink nae more o your glasses-o Tomorrow is the day when we maun ride away So farewell tae your Fyvie lasses-o The colonel he cried, mount, boys, mount, boys, mount The captain, he cried, tarry-o O tarry yet a while, just another day or twa Til I see if the bonnie lass will marry-o Twas in the early morning, when we marched awa And O but the captain he was sorry-o The drums they did beat o'er the bonnie braes o' Gight And the band played the bonnie lass of Fyvie-o Long ere we came to the Howe of Auchterless We had our captain to carry-o And long ere we won into the streets of Aberdeen We had our captain to bury-o Green grow the birks on bonnie Ythanside And low lie the lowlands of Fyvie-o The captain's name was Ned and he died for a maid He died for the bonnie lass of Fyvie-o

'Nuff said.

You are gonna' have to provide a little more info. I searched "maid" "maide" and "fifeo" in Deadbase and there were no matches for song titles containing any of those words. Other possible titles or spellings? Richard
