    Annotated Lyrics, page 106
    The manuscript version of the song includes these lines: Why wait in the dark for dawn / (while) when the sun's still going down?/ Maybe I'll dust off your chair/ If you say you're comin' 'round... There's more. Thanks, Wahrlock, and it's never a bad day to dive into the annotated lyrics...

    Interesting
    I would see what the Grateful Dead Annotated Lyrics had to say on the subject.

    Uncle John's Band (additional verses)

    Many years ago I found 2 more verses and a bridge/chorus(?) posted online for Uncle John's Band. The source was alleged to be an acoustic set Jerry did at a small club (The Matrix?).
    One verse starts with: "Why wait in the dark for dawn when the sun's still going down?"
    Another starts with: "Would you carry me uphill, back the way I carried you?"
    I don't want to post the full verses since I can't vouch for their authenticity.

    Has anyone ever heard recordings of these verses? Any more info on them?

    getting permission for the title and cover of my book about GD

    Hello, I'm sorry if this is off your topic but maybe you can help. I have written a nice book about the music from the early Brent Mydland years of the Grateful Dead, about 400 pages. I want to get permission to use a certain image on the cover, and to use a certain lyric for the title. Do you happen to know who I should be in touch with about this project? Thanks! --Ryan Bouchard

    I'd like to know why the…

    I'd like to know why the support for the store is MIA. Has anyone else had this issue? I purchased the American Beauty 50th so I could have the 2/18/71 show. The FLAC download has a corrupted cutoff GDTRFB and it's missing the NFA Pt. 2 and Uncle John's. I've reached out to support but they are MIA. Any ideas how to get ahold of them?

I checked, and I was wrong: you DO need to create a separate account for the Store. Let me know if you have problems doing this.

When does the subscription offer to 2011 Road Trips end? In other words, when do I have to get my payment in so I can take advantage of this offer?

on the page. And, in other news, I am told that the tracks on the bonus disc will be unique to that disc and not repeated elsewhere.

Allis, I don't know if you're still 'here' but I bought the Texas Road Trips set and got the bonus disk. IIRC the second disk was a bad pressing. It looked like pretty swirly rainbow watercolors under the outer edge of the plastic and would only play the first half, then start to skip more and more until the poor CD player would completely lose the plot, give up and holler for its mama. Anyway! I called the customer service number and after one -- yes, one -- relatively brief and very polite conversation the folks shipped a new CD (not the whole set, darn it! :)) within a couple of days that was just exactly perfect. I do need to think a bit about the Road Trips subscription package but not because of any problems or concerns what-so-ever about the store or the staff. Scott

Regine "Pegi", Prinzess of Hohenzollern (yeah, he wasn't lieing.It is me).Edelweiss. I am so glad to see contact from remainder of Grateful Dead in my mail. I always feel so much better when I put a Dead disc on the machine. But I haven't done it. I haven't done much of anything except keep my stepdad from dieing. Got six out of seven diabteoc wounds healed. Seems the loss of my "Baby Cats" took the heart out of me. Haven't been out to sing, haven't put a disc on to spin, haven't had music in my ears. Not except by default; an infomercial from the 60' & 70's which woke me up. Just not me anymore. Some things tear your heart out. It's happened too often. I'm exhausted. Am trying to do my new blog, http://prinzessinhohenzoller.blogspot.com but even that, I don't keep up. Except for Mannheim Steamroller found at the local Lowe's Hardware, haven't even thought about music. And before, I couldn't live a day without it. God the way things in this land are set up to destroy us. It's cheaper for them. Please keep sending the emails. I might reconnect with myself again. Love and Peace, Pegi Regine

Last summer I saw this guy wearing a shirt that said Grateful Dead AARP tour on it. It had a picture of a skeleton covered in roses using a walker. It also said something like "livin on meds vitamin C and Rogaine," A play on the line from Truckin. I've been looking for this shirt ever since. It would be perfect for my uncle! If anyone knows where to get one please please let me know!

Here's a link to Music by Jerry, under the heading "The Band. http://www.dead.net/musicby/Jerry+Garcia Doodle around for the music by Bob, Phil, Vince and Brent. I see "Passenger" is listed under Phil, although Donna, then Brent, seem to be the primary vocalists. Check this site out for all sorts of info: http://www.deaddisc.com/index.html

Why don't the track listings appear for most of the music items in the store? See the store item pages for Dick's Picks 30 or Steppin' Out for example. It seems an important enough detail to include. Or, am I just missing it. Hmmm.

but if you ordered when the site was crashing etc. on the first day, I'd follow up with customer service. If you reserved a copy when the reservation system went up, you should be hearing back shortly with ordering instructions. It is better to check with customer service than to just assume all is well, though.

as I have never heard of replacement jackets being available for recordings. I'd suggest looking on eBay in case somebody who leaves their CD in the rental car (only to have the rental car deny all knowledge of course) and finds themselves with an empty jacket decides to make a buck off it. But unfortunately it wasn't Road Trips I had this experience with...

Warner Brothers states it will not be responsible for actors of God like the USP Man stealing your E72 customized box because he was stoned. Neither shall they be responsible for your neglect of the weather in the Florida keys. It's all written into the fine print that absolves them of all legal action due to illegal substances and the 1968 "Thick Air" Bob Weir requested for Born Cross-eyed.

As of at least Febr. 12th, possibly before, Phil Lesh's web site has been missing in action. No re-direct, nothing. I find no mention of this at the fan site's forums, (PhilZone), anywhere-- only chatter on other stuff. Can anyone shed some light as to what my favorite instrumentalist on the planet is up to with that gorgeous chunk of cybersapce he developed? A moderator, if one exists? Anybody? Thanks. Sonic'72

Hi Marye, Before I ask my question(s) I just wanted to say to you that for the past two months I have noticed that you are just an incredibley hard working, huge hearted, fully responsive and priceless piece to all that is Dead.net and I want to thank you for all that you do... you rock! I am new to the Vine world and now find myself addicted... once again, I think your the one responsible for this :-) I have "met" some really cool people (well, interated with) through this vine and I can't wait to see the next door that Dead.net opens for me... I am looking for new vines, outside of the Dead family... like Mechelle N'degecello (sp?), Prince and/or other funky stuff... Are there other Deadheads like me that also have a funky side? Also, Road Trips... Any idea what the remaining 3 releases will be (what periods?). You don't have to divuldge the actual dates. Finally, yes Europe '72 !! I can't wait for the Suitecase... any tidbits that can be shared? Please ? Much love & respect, iGrateful

I am new to the forum scene here- and a great one it it! I was just wondering, in most (if not all) the forum topics, it says "You are not allowed to post" or something to that nature. If I wanted to post a new topic about the Greatful Dead movie being re-released this April, how & where would I do that? I would imagine a lot of heads (and those who never got to see the band) are excited about this event and it would be cool to hear about that. Thank you!

I'm not sure. He used to be pretty active on old Dead.net, now Deadnet Central/DNC, but when I checked over there the other day on the occasion of his birthday he didn't seem to be around so much anymore. I'll look into what the current PO Box status is because my brain is stuck in the old reality on that one (and it's Saturday so no one's around to ask) and I don't want to give you bad advice, but I'm sure there still exists some mechanism for writing a letter and having it forwarded, as it were. I'll let you know what I find out.

A page has just appeared asking international customers to select a shipping preference. Could we perhaps have a little more explanation? We have already agreed to a shipping cost of $85..I very much hope that is not going to change ...so what are the differences between shipping by UPS or USPS? thanks
