Help with an order

Hello I am wondering if I could get help on an order for a shirt that I placed a month ago. I bought this as a Christmas present, but the site won't accept my information to find out where it is? I sent in an inquiry and I received an automated email telling me to do the same thing that I have been trying to do with no help.

How do I post my Grateful…

How do I post my Grateful Dead Show at Deer Creek Noblesville IN in 1991 or 1992 ?

Falcstubs

What are you trying to post (setlist?) and where are you trying to post it?

mark as attended

It's there on the show page. Search on Deer Creek in top right. Make sure you are logged in and you can mark as attended there.

Hoping helping... :-) :-) :-)

aha, wilfred to the rescue

thanks!

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?

send me a PM with the details and I'll see if I can find someone to straighten this out. So sorry for the trouble.

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

Send me a PM about this with the details and I'll see if I can find the right person.

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?

Interesting

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

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...

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.

30 Days Calendar

Hi, I won a calendar during the 30 Days and have not heard anything yet. Who do I contact?

"shows attended"

is this an active feature? and if it is active, how would one go about using the feature?
tried using it on my profile page but no can do, so figured here might be the place in the forum to ask for assistance...ty!

Peace All!

Hi Mary, I wonder if you could help me. I am a long time subscriber to Dave's Picks. However, I am moving to a new address in February 2024. How do I update the address so that my Picks will come to my new address. Thank you.

Your recent posts

Hey now, Rose-- if you go to your own profile page (click My Account on the left there) you'll see a section on the right of that page called User's Recent Posts, which is a partial solution to the problem you're talking about. However, partial is the operative term, as my Recent Posts seem to reflect the reality of several days ago. A more complete solution would be a good thing, and I'll pass that along. (I'll also email this to you so you don't have to slog through so much). As for the issue of being taken straight to new-to-you posts, let's just say that in my morning report to the higher-ups I said that that issue and the fact of responses appearing out of chronological order are officially at the top of the Pain Point list. So the tech team is aware of the problem and I fervently hope we have a solution soon. Thank you for your kind patience...

It would be really helpful

If I could find my own posts so I can keep up with those threads I've entered. I can't remember where I was. Marye - something like the "check messages" or "Message center". Forgive me if you already talked about this someplace and its been addressed and I'm sure if you could you would. Like for this question, I suspose I am going to have write down where I asked it so I can check for the answer. and BTW, just where am I? Thanks, Rose

ongoing discussion

Wendy - I can't give you an answer, but I can tell you it's being discussed. I personally agree with you, that the most recent should be on top. I can also tell you that's it going to be one way or the other - can't have it both ways.

Could it show the most recent post in a forum first?

That would help considerably for now... to start at the most recent and go back in time instead of having to scroll thru the entire history from day 1 to find current conversations.

missing April?

I dunno. I'd suggest sending email to David Lemieux in the Tapers section (his email is listed there). Maybe he was on hiatus for a few weeks!
