    SYF legal help
    Is it legal to use the SYF image in a sculpture? I made a cast aluminum wall hanging last week for myself (something I have wanted for a long time) and was wondering how legal it is to sell these things on lot? What if any are the copyright laws with the SYF logo? My piece is a original sculpture made by me molded by me and cast in alum. by me. I posted a photo of it on the fan photos page under fan art.

    last straw!!
    i am so pissed. who ever runs that dead.net site is wacked in the head. my 3rd disk dont play, and supervisor at 877-dead.net she told me i got to REBUY it. i paid good hard cash for my show CD at the show. and was told, i had to repay to get my disc. this is after losing me to a phone line that cuts me off. (22 minutes, 3rd call, it cuts me off, i had to call back a 4th time) well, why do i need to REBUY a broken item i BOUGHT already!?? i was told i could "hear" the show 15 minutes after the show, i am still waiting, 5 days later. the phonelines didnt work all weekend, then, i get "we dont handle Concert CD's here, you have TO REBUY it, so we can download it in your puter!!" well, thats all good'n fine, but i bought a CD, not a download!! and the only contact number on the CD is dead.net, if you contact them, as it is stated on package, and they dont handle the CD's sold at show time, how to i get this 3rd disc replaced without spending more then the show ticket? i have never felt so used and dirty dealing with a grateful dead vendor, as i did with dead.net. and i still didnt get an answer. i was told by manegment, that they will take a report, and take it to upper management, and i will get a call back within 3 to 5 days! thats over a WEEK AFTER THE SHOW, and bad CD. do you wait a week, to get the steak replaced that was over cooked in a restaurant? well, why should i wait aweek, to talk to manegment about a CD i bought, that just displays "read error" no 3rd CD, only 1st song after drums, no last half of set, no encore. i spent a lot of this same time frame of the show in RockMed, now i missed the show 2x. after all this negitive Karma with dead.net, i dont feel i will even listen to the show, can i sell my flawed faulty CD back to the dead please?

    reasoning
    on a lighter note, when rockmed people asked if i know why my wife got this bad, i told them she was too sick for raise the flag tour, now once again, she was sick, but we felt she was well enough, but we guessed wrong as it seams. then i told him it was the bands fault, if they did shoreline 2 times a year, 2 or 3 nights in a row, i could of taken her when she was feeling better. this 3 shows in 13 years at shoreline just isnt enough. we just had to go, we never know when they tour together again, like all outdoor venues, rain or shine, the show must go on. tix was bought, with no foreseen time of a return, we risked it. in truth, it was worth it, a bit scarry there, on the encore, i couldnt fight the crowd on the lawn, to try to find her, and if i left in the encore, i would of had to leave her alone, in a panic. i had to wait for lights to come on, to get help for her, without leaving her side. RockMed is the best. i wont get a lawn t9icket again, if they return, i like lawn at shoreline, but the wife is too ill. i sit in lines for hours'n hours, to get tix the day they come out, (now it is prebuy online, as a fanclub member, same thing) but the dead, shoreline, the lawn is where it is at, you cant dance in the seats. i miss the old cal-expo shows, with the open area in front of stage and the seating in the back. i always felt that the dance floor should be in front.

    The Wristband CD
    this was a great surprise, to find i could get the show, clearer, and better quality recording, then the old taper recordings i use to hunt down. i too had my wife taken away in an ambulance, at shoreline 5-14-09. it was asthma related, but my wife lost half a lung about 5 months ago to pneumonia, and has a tumor low on her back pushing into her spinal cord, and cuts off leg movement sometimes. the attack ,the crowds, and all got too her we figure. RockMed are the best. they was right there, on the ball, and got my wife off the lawn at shoreline, with my wife in a wheel chair, had an O2 tank ready for her not 2 minutes after reporting my wifes position on the lawn Thank You RockMed. now the question. the wristband CD had 3 discs, my disc three wont play any track after the 1st track on my car CD player. in my home CD player, a bit better quality wont play track 3-5-6 it shows "read error" the way it is, i only really get to listen to my car CD player. so i only get 1st track on 3rd disc!! i lose all but 1 song after drums/space. this disc is the same time frame my wife was having problems. i spent most of the last part of concert calming her down, and hunting down RockMed, and sitting in RockMed office with my wife. i dont want to lose last half of 2nd set again. who do i contact about this? you can ask RockMed at shoreline, the got a full report from me and wife there on file.

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.

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!
