To Bobby, I Pray

Thank you for turning a long term frown into a smile! I have loved you since I touched your foot at the Garden Pier in AC & I am so happy you found the beautiful love of your life, your lovely children & that you got to got to have such a wonderful family. And I’m also very happy that you were able to meet and fill the great relationship with your biological father, something we were never allowed to do because that was a bad man within my mother died while I was in college, both of them very young and unexpectedly so many different. I hope you don’t mind, but I need to see if you have a source that could help me both my husband and I were born with congenital birth defect, mine left me permanently, disabled at only 34. Then hurricane Sandy was it a direct hit to us as a full strength, hurricane, and we were not allowed to live in our home for eight years a week after that we were diagnosed with hereditary autoimmune diseases and our doctors this time absolutely forbid us from going back to work outside the home as we have no immune system. For the last 14 years, we’ve both been struggling very hard at our small office assistance or badly struggling due to all this. We are in foreclosure on our home. I am not writing this to ask you for a handout but just for source or sources. I have an idea about a book card like to write about the Grateful Dead and I need someone who can help me find the sources and even corroborate Either as a co-author or anything that they would like to be called. I hope and pray you see this message and you can point me in the right direction so we don’t lose our home that my husband spent eight years in his blood. Sweat and tears rebuilding because that would devastate us both. Thank you Bobby and God bless you and your beautiful family.

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 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?

Dead Covers Project video blocked

Hi, I made a video to post ("High Time"), but YouTube has blocked it, saying it's copyrighted material. Is this something that comes up now and then? Any clues on how to keep a video from being blocked -- it must sound too much like the original. Thanks, -Rob

I'll ask

and see if there's anything we can do.

Hi. Wondering if there is any way to download all 30 Days of Dead mp3's at once??? Can't see why not once they are done. Thanks.

Re: 30 Days of Dead

This is the link that was sent around in the December monthly email, I think it still works. You can download each track or all 30 at the bottom of the page.

Disk one Daves Picks 37 won't play

Disk one of Daves Picks won't play. My player shows the # of tracks and the total play time, but won't play. I tried it on multiple players. Just curious if anything can be done.
Thanks much!

Flounder

please send me a PM with the details and order info and I'll ask the Doc if he can fix this. Thanks and sorry for the hassle.

compendium question

Does anyone know of a positive Brian Dyke show review?

Who do I speak to about.... A new GDM merch product?

I have had a great idea for quite some time about a merch product that I would love to see come to fruition.
I believe the only way to do it right would be through GDM, as it would be a Highly Iconic design or two, used in a 'NEW' way, it would be a very popular item GDM should maintain control of.
Please let me know whom to contact!
Thanks!

Lost Order

We hope that the answers below will help with any questions that you may have.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Please send me a PM with the details and I'll ask the Doc to get on the case. So sorry.

a positive Brian Dyke review

Here's one largely positive review from Brian Dyke, in Taping Compendium Vol. I: of Denver Coliseum, Nov 20 1973 - though some of the details of his description don't match what I hear, and he resorts in a couple of places to (mild) versions of his typical fault-casting (saying "the triad of 'Promised' > 'Bertha' > 'Greatest Story,' falls flat on its face" - which just isn't so, I think ["Promised Land" 's particularly rhythmically good, w/very spunky drumming; Jer flubs the 2nd verse of "Bertha," though]).

Dave's Picks (Looking for Miracle for founder of Deer Creek)

Hello. First time poster. I saw on Facebook someone posted about Dave's Picks Volume 40 at Deer Creek.

I understand it is sold out, but inside there is a letter from John Scher to Dave Lucas. That Dave Lucas was my father.
He and his partner built Deer Creek, and created the vision on how great it ended up being. I myself worked many summers doing the marketing for the shows at Deer Creek including all the Dead shows.

However, I would like to get a copy of that as a present for him and I have no idea where to find. Can anyone help? Looking for a miracle(many times I handed out extra tickets as miracles). I think he would find it very special.

Thank you in advance.

Hey there

Where can I check off the shows I have seen?

The Orwellian vision was about state-sponsored surveillance.....

Hey, dude from India!!

So, you're a spammer, AND a Deadhead??? Interesting combination............

Ultimately, Captchas are useless for spam because they're designed to tell you if someone is 'human' or not, but not whether something is spam or not.........

Doc
Now it's not just the state, it's your nosy neighbor, your ex-spouse and people who want to spam you......

I received a brand new and…

I received a brand new and sealed copy of Dave's Picks, Vol. 30 w/bonus disc for Christmas. I opened it up and to my surprise, I found my copy to be numbered 190/300. I've seen some unnumbered promo copies released for other volumes, and I know there was a run of 500 extra copies of Vol. 3 to replace some copies that disappeared, but I can't seem to find any information on Vol. 30. Does anybody out there have any idea of what I might have? Thanks.

Never got Dave's Picks 43

Gabriel (Jeff)

30 days of dead winner contact

Hello, I think that I may be Michael from Brookfield CT that won on 11/18. I have not received any contact though. I understand there may be another Michael in my town but if I do happen to have been the winner I would love to have the calendar prize!

Has anyone else had…

Has anyone else had difficulty downloading 2022 30 Days of Dead selections today to try to get days missed during November, 2022? Every time I download one of the seven days I missed (yeah, I know, DUH) I get an error message that the file is corrupted. So I went in to download all of 2022 30 Days, and got the 2021 30 Days! Anybody else, or am I just weird?
