    The issue is that legal requirements for contests vary from country to country, and crafting a contest that's legally compliant inside and outside the US is prohibitively complex. We're sorry about this, as it is certainly a bummer for non-US folks.

    Hi
    Just wondering why Heads north of the U.S can't play the 30 DOD contest. It seems wrong to me. Hell I'd pay for the shipping if that was an issue. That pretty much goes for ANY contest that Deadnet puts on. Lots of us up here.

    30 Days of Dead
    Yes. It kicks off on Friday. Check out the Almanac on the homepage. In it the 2013 edition of 30 Days of Dead is mentioned.

    30 Days of Dead -- Volume 4
    Is there any plans to publish the 4th Volume of 30 Days of Dead? Matching the show and date with the download was something I looked forward to during November, it is kind of like a month long holiday celebration.

    no new taper's material?
    Hi, Just curious what happened to the Taper's section --- no new entries after the Oct 14-20 entry? That's as much a question as it is a statement: I haven't seen a new entry in over a week, which is very odd, so perhaps I am doing something wrong? BTW, your all doing a great job. I look forward to each week's offerings with great anticipation! Thank you!

    No China Doll in list of songs
    China Doll doesn't appear in the list of songs? Why not? Also if one enters "china doll" in the search box, it comes back with no results, site-wide.

    Portland June 12 1980 Show Mt. St. Helens
    Hi guys and gals,I am collecting up stories from a particular show in Portland on June 12, 1980. During the second song in the second set, Mt. St Helens blew 54.5 million cubic yards of ash into the air which drifted over the Portland area as the show was getting over with. The after show parties are legendary and I wanted to see if any of the folks who remember that night would be willing to share any details. Please let me know. This was an extremely interesting confluence of thought and some significant ideas were born that night. It would be great to see where any of it went. Thanks.

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.

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?
