    Brent Mydland
    Y'know, I've been to a few shows & checked out different dead stuff throughout th' years, but one thing I've just never come across is interviews with Brent. If he doesn't speak his mind, how do we know what he's thinking??Just tell us where to look! & then i learned what GDTRFB meant –]

    Foodfight
    hi .no i was not at this show..but i was in 1977 at another show.it was in germany and the band was not GD but the jefferson starship.should have been the first gig on the european continent since 68.it could have been the greatest outdoor venue i ever went too.the party began the day before,went on allnite long and than everybody went to see Grace and the boys.the vibes where great,until the moment when bill thompson together with craig declared that the concert was over because gracie was drunk so she could not even move.in that moment pure hell broke loose,and believe me there were no frisbees and watermelons launched.there where fewer people (15000) but the stuff thrown was definitely heavier and harder.I really feared for my live...all the starships equipment was destroyed,burned or looted.so was the site.i think they never recovered from that blow:-((..and all because off a bottle at the wrong time in the wrong hands!!!still love this band anyway and everytime i listen to grace,chills go down my spine....peace fellas and stay sober

    JFK 1976....Food fight
    I have a question....Was anyone at the 1st show at the JFK in Philly 76 with Yes,Peter Framton and Gary wright!! Do you remember the food fight?? One fifty thousand people throwing something at the same time. It was the biggest food fight ever!! My friend and I were on the field and hid under a blanket ( no help) I was hit with a frisbee in the head, then a whole water melon smashed right in front of us!! Holy shit, we peeked out from the blanket and saw sandwiches flying, coolers and beers in flight!! It would be cool to see a you tube of this!! It was insane!!!!!!!! Just wondering if anyone was there too!!

    Past The Time For A New Release
    It's been a while since I last logged into the forum here but regularly check the sight for any new news. Seems now should be the time for the next CD or DVD release. Any news or are we stuck having to wait several months with nothing new offered up? Road Trips was nice but it took an eternity to be released. Without a doubt, there are many live multi-track tapes, matrix/board mixes and video footage of shows to be able to release them quarterly at the very least for many many years to come. Anything new?

    Frankly asked that very question elsewhere a few days ago. On someone else's page you can send them a message or block messages from them. Basically it makes no sense to have a send private message to yourself link so there isn't one, but logically, blocking messages from yourself, which you CAN do, makes no more sense. So if we learn anything about that oddity we'll report back.

    No big deal, I've been told that the vbulletin is easier than HTML, but still has hard corners with . Plus there is a vb language. I've been in the many different Subaru community forums for roughly 10 years plus. Never been an administrator or nothing tho. I have my own website, and I hate HTML! Sorry, only if alignments were easier I wouldn't complain! I use a WYSIWYG editor anyways so I keep it simple. Thanks for your hard work!!!

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.

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... :-) :-) :-)

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?

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

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?

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

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...

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.

the show listing itself here under archive and "mark attended". Use the search and enter date to find the show listing. Thanks to another poster here (Dancin Fool) I just figured that out too.
Cheers

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.

I haven’t heard a Sugaree jam during regular programming on Sirius XM 23 for a long time; perhaps longer than a year (i listen frequently during the day). Is there a reason for this?

Hi Marye,

What happened to the Dead Covers Project? I was thinking of submitting some songs, but I can’t find it anywhere in the last call for submissions was in 2023. Is it still happening?

Hi Mary - I believe I was the Dan from Richmond CA who won the 11/1 30 Days of Dead contest, but didn't receive an email about it. Can you check to see why I didn't get an email. My email is dhisey11 at gmail.com. Thanks!
