    Here's why - words missing and misspelled
    Punctuation a bit off
    "Indeedy" is commonly accepted for colloquial use

    Dead on the Rocks, 1982

    CBABS ... The boys played Red Rocks 7/27/82, 7/28/82 and 7/29/82. I was at all three very wet, but glorious shows. BTW, all my 3 stubs look the same, except for the date.......tc

    Red Rocks date(s) confusion

    Two of my first GD Red Rocks shows were 7/29/1982 and 6/14/1984. I only know this because I found a box with a bunch of my old ticket stubs in it. When I search the archives for these shows the archives are one day off, showing both shows a day earlier than the ticket stub. Am I missing something? Did they shift the schedule and honor the previously purchased tickets? Help!

    liner notes erratum on ready…

    liner notes erratum on ready or not:

    To Mr. Lemieux or GD dead net staff:
    Hey Now!
    I recently purchased the CD Ready or Not and noticed a factual error in the liner notes by Jesse Jarnow. I write in hopes that the error is corrected for future releases if more batches of this cd are produced.

    The error can be found on the first sentence of the second paragraph. " Starting in 1992, the Grateful Dead began to introduce songs that might constitute a follow-up album to 1989's In The Dark..." As you know the album released in 1989 was Built to Last not In The Dark.

    I point this out so that new releases can reflect the history of our favorite band accurately.

    Not Fade,

    Aaron Reyes

    PS Too bad Phil Lesh songs where not included....I am perhaps one of the few fans that liked Wave to the Wind...always considered it to be Phil's "Eyes of the World"....In particular the NC Chapel Hill 3/25/93 is a version that finally takes form and flies!

    I Need A Miracle, 6/16/91

    A real mystery here: I was at Meet Up At The Movies and did NOT see I Need A Miracle. I've checked setlists everywhere. Yet here is a video from youtube that shows them playing it. They are ALL wearing the same clothes. Then I found a video from 6/16/91 on youtube taken from the audience. This song is on it. But why oh why are they all wearing the same clothes two nights in a row???

I listened to the Europe 72 box set and the 1st set on your site does not match and is missing songs. In listening to the recording the songs are seamless. Correct setlist is on the CDs http://www.dead.net/show/may-10-1972

The GD did the Capitol Theatre on 11/24/78 and their next show was at the Fronton in Miami on 12/12/78. While it is possible they hung around NYC for a Thankgiving holiday and then did their first ever run starting on or around 12/1 it is unlikely. It is pretty much well-agreed that the Dead had their first run in the Garden proper (not the basement Felt Forum) on 1/7-8/79. It would be unusual for them to go back to the Garden that quickly, especially as they had to sell a lot of tickets very quickly -- something they were not doing around this time (listen to Jerry address the crowd at Rupp Arena on 4/21/78. In fact, it is curious timing for them to even attempt the Garden at this time. It seems like about 18 months too early. Perhaps they got favorable terms in their contract from the Garden through Jon Scher (I think that was his name). Where this stub came from is another matter. It would seem to prove there was a show. Who would go through the trouble of making a counterfeit? Did the shows get rescheduled? That could account for it. Anybody else want to chime in?

I was thinking this coincided with those Capitol Theater shows where Jerry had no voice. But his playing made up for it.

Listed as Filmore West. In fact this is the date the Dead played (or anyway were scheduled to play) a benefit for the Black Panthers at the Oakland Auditorium Arena. No setlist available. The posters for the show are readily available online with a Google images search, and even on this site: http://www.dead.net/archives/1971/artwork/black-panther-benefit-poster

The July 17, 1989 Alpine Valley set list on Deadnet is incorrect - they played West LA Fadeaway, Desolation Row and Deal in the first set, not Row Jimmy, Masterpiece, Push, etc, as listed. This is the "Downhill from here" show, or one of them. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OekWK7LorMw for the show, assuming it's listed correctly on Youtube. The set lists of July 17 & July 19 were mixed up on Deadnet, at least for the end of set 1. Specifically, the July 19 end of set 1 was wrongly listed as being on July 17. Also, I noted while watching the show that Brent would be dead with a little over a year of this show. He looked really messed up here on the video in July 1989.

This show http://www.dead.net/show/february-5-1969 did not happen in Omaha, NE the Dead opened the show for the Iron Butterfly in Kansas City, Kansas, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, 7th and Barnett St. There is a partial stream of this show at https://archive.org/details/gd69-02-05.sbd.cotsman.8993.sbeok.shnf (please read catfishbob's comment of 05/21/2008 with details) I attended this performance and it was my first Grateful Dead show. I actually talked with Jerry between shows and got his autograph (it read "Live Jer")I have heard the Dead played Omaha on 02/15/1969, but did not attend or know anyone with details) Thank you.

For some reason there is a show listed before the first show, That is, the first show - at Magoos's. 5/5/65 - displays a link for a previous show, which of course is impossible. (The Dead did mess around with space and time, but not actual time travel.) Clicking on that link brings you to a show two years in the future. There is a not from MaryE to the effect that this is being worked on ... from seven years ago. So this is a reminder, that this ought to be corrected. Thanks!

Given the Dead's custom of not playing the same song or jam 2 shows in a row, it would have been highly unlikely they would have played a 'Nobody's Jam' on both 5-8 and 5-9. Out of curiosity, I went back to have a listen and I can confirm that although there is a jam with a slight air of the 'Nobody's Fault' theme tucked into NFA on 5-8, it certainly does not occur on 5-9 at all. One could argue it really doesn't happen on 5-8 as currently listed either. It might read on 5-8 as NFA>Nobody's Jam>NFA, but that's dubious as well. I encourage you to check it out for yourself and make your own determination! In summary: no 'Nobody's Jam' on http://www.dead.net/show/may-9-1981 for sure and dubious 'Nobody's Jam' on http://www.dead.net/show/may-8-1981, certainly not before NFA as listed. (a sandwich maybe)

The Grateful Dead had a certain penchant for inserting a drum solo in between Let it Grow in the early part of 1976. The following show pages do not indicate the return to Let it Grow, creating the incorrect appearance of a segue into a different song entirely.http://www.dead.net/show/june-3-1976 http://www.dead.net/show/june-4-1976 http://www.dead.net/show/june-9-1976 http://www.dead.net/show/june-12-1976 http://www.dead.net/show/june-15-1976 (missing any indication of Drums at all)

Second Set: "The Rain Song" should be simply "Rain" (Lennon/McCartney - It was the "B" side of Paperback Writer; released in the U.S. 5/30/66). I'll never forget... The first drop of rain landed on my arm just as the boys hit the opening chord to Rain. Then the heavens opened up and rained like hell. Too much fun... http://www.dead.net/show/june-30-1995

Sept 20, 1982 my first show. Not too familiar with the newer songs, but I was happy when they did Dupree's since I knew that one. Near the end of the show I'm sure they did Around and Around because I had been in my seat for the whole show and when they started that Chuck Berry beat I was bouncing around in my seat and when Bob shouted out I rose out of my seat Lord I had to dance I spontaneously jumped up and finished the whole show dancing in my seat. I never did that for any other band. I turned to my boyfriend and said I think I like this band. I'm going to go again. Also, for my second show in April 1983 I was incredulous that they were playing a song I only knew from an I Love Lucy episode, Man Smart, Woman Smarter. I'm pretty sure I would have recognized that song if they had done it this night, which I don't think they did. But I'm positive about the Around and Around. Never sat in a seat again after that first show.

I posted this a couple of times in the past years. This show of February 05, 1969 was at Kansas City, KS Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Hall. GD opened for Iron Butterfly. There is a recording of this, my first GD show, on Archive.org. https://archive.org/details/gd69-02-05.sbd.cotsman.8993.sbeok.shnfat end of set Jerry is heard announcing "the Iron Butterly will be on in a few minutes" It was not at Music Box in Omaha, NE, (approximately 4 hrs. north of Kansas City, KS.)

After Sugaree, they play One More Saturday Night, Playing In The Band (again), and BIODTL. Then, the performance ends with a Truckin'>Drums(missing)>The Other One. (One More Saturday Night shouldn't be at the end) This show was played at the 4th annual Meet-Up At The Movies, and I re-checked on iTunes

Ditto, not only did there used to be poster relevant to each show date there were pictures from the show, too. Something happened one day and everything went kerplunk. I think it might have been a data disaster. I have posted your request on other forums once or twice. Dead minds think alike!

I'm very glad to hear someone else felt the rain at exactly the same time they started...not close, not near, but EXACTLY. when i relay that story, i think people believe i am exaggerating. the rain set for the pouring rain was way too cool, too much fun. too sad it was too near the end for Jerry.

I have a Major important question about the USB Besides the fact that the USB is the same price as the box set, the fact we don't get the book is an issue, but I know you won't be doing anything about that.... which honestly kinda sucks Given the cost to produce the USB package vs the cd package (but still charging the same don't seem right, if your being honest with yourself....you should agree) Most importantly..... Will the 2nd sets of these shows run uninterrupted ? CDs fade out at end of disk two Fading back into disk three..... l hate that, can't sit back and chill to a second set that way! The reason I bought the USB is so there would be no breaks in the middle of the sets like the CDs will obviously be. This is probably a major issue for all people buying the USB (Even though there is only 1,000 of us) We don't get the booklet or the fancy box But that's not a problem, if they run uninterrupted I did not want the CDs for that reason (and storage too) as well as wanting 24/96 resolution (sweet) Has this question been brought up by anyone?and I hope you guys were smart enough to master the USB as uninterrupted shows, unlike the CDs (more work for you guys but you are charging enough for this package now dubbed "BOXILLA") I truly will be disappointed if there is breaks in the middle of a set This issue will be a major problem I'll want my money back if they are these interruptions, so....... Look forward to a response Thomas A. Violagis Jr.

I was part of the group of students who booked this GD show on Halloween 1969 to celebrate the opening of the new SJSU College Union. The poster image on this listing is wrong. The poster for the concert was by Scott Peterson and was a dark forest scene with a devilish ghoul cavorting around a fire in an evil woods, and I have a copy of that poster. Please fix this. I'm a hardcore Dead Head and saw about 15-20concerts, plus I own over 50 of their concert CDs.

On May 4th, 1968, the band played SUNY - Stoney Brook - in the middle of Long Island. It was some sort of end of semester "dance". There was a cake backstage because it was Sunshine's 2nd birthday, which someone set firecrackers into at some point.Can't say I remember the set list, though!

Since you listed the CC Rider tease before Lazy Lightning... I think it only fair to include th St Stephen tease during space. I was there, and it is clearly heard on any recording on the archive. After Spanish Jam, leading into Not Fade Away. There was a group of people walking in front of the stage carrying a sheet with "St Steven" and a skull & roses painted on it.

The song played before the start of the 2nd set was actually "Fanfare for the Common Man"by Aaron Copeland. It was used as the Olympic theme song. Jerry's nod to the venue! The "2001" theme song (also sprach zarathustra)is similar but not what was played. I was there, and can be heard on tapes, though I haven't found it on any archive recordings

I was there. My band, the Vipers, actually opened the show. I was the drummer, Ed Levin.http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com/Phoenix.htm We weren't on the poster or the newspaper ad, but neither were the Dead. http://rockarchaeology101.blogspot.com/2010/03/1805-geary-blvd-san-fran… Ralph Gleason still referred to them as the Warlocks in his review. http://deadsources.blogspot.com/2013/02/december-10-1965-fillmore-audit… The "VIPs" was his misreading of our name, the Vipers. Since we DID play at the gig, I humbly request Dead.net to include The Vipers on the bill.

According to: https://archive.org/search.php?query=title%3A%28Grateful%20Dead%29%20AN… the setlist for this date (incorrectly noted as 23-Aug-71) may be: Set 1 Uncle John's Band, Sugaree, Playin' In The Band, Mr. Charlie, Loser, El Paso, It Hurts Me Too, Cumberland Blues, Beat It On Down The Line, Brown Eyed Women, Me & My Uncle, Casey Jones Set 2 Saint Stephen-> Not Fade Away-> Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad-> Not Fade Away, Sing Me Back Home, Truckin', Big Railroad Blues, Me And Bobby McGee, Brokedown Palace, Big Boss Man, Sugar Magnolia That mostly agrees with Dick's Picks 35, except for the fact that Dick's Picks 35 is incomplete and also includes two additional songs: Empty Pages (between Cumberland Blues and Beat It On Down The Line) and Good Lovin (after Brokedown Palace). Big Boss Man precedes Brokedown Palace on Dick's Picks 35.
