    We're getting a lot of folks asking where to send corrections for assorted errors they've found in the show archives. Maybe they didn't really play "Saint of Circumstance" that night.

Whatever mistakes you've found, this is the place to report them. Please include this information to make it easier for the tech folks to deal with: The date and/or URL of the show in question (for example, https://www.dead.net/show/june-21-1980) A detailed description of the problem (for example, wrong town, wrong venue, no "St. Stephen," etc.) The source of your information (for example, DeadBase, notes on your tape, "Hey, I was in the front row and I'll never forget it!")

    Lyrics Correction - Viola Lee Blues

    Please correct the lyrics of "Viola Lee Blues" to:

    Clerk he wrote it down, indeedy

    I wrote a letter, I mailed it in the
    Mailed it in the air, indeedy
    I wrote a letter, I mailed it in the air
    You may know by that, I've got a friend somewhere

    Thanks

    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???

This is an incorrect date. The first St Louis area appearances were 2 performances at the National Guard Armory, May 24 and 25th, 1968. A local group the PUBLIC SERVICE BLUES BAND (not the Iron Butterfly) opened for the Dead both nights. I attended the second performance, on May 25. (Note that the Iron Butterfly was NOT on this bill with them, but on the Feb 6 1969 appearance at Keil Opera House. The Dead opened the concert, based on the toss of a coin. I attended this performance.)

http://www.deadbase.com The Deadbase site, and Dick's Picks, list MANU. This site and my Deadbase VII, have Jack Straw as the second song of the second set instead. http://www.dead.net/show/september-27-1972 MAMU was played on the 26th, Jack Straw was not. In any case, I'd love to know what the actual set list was, and if the Dick's Picks list is wrong, that probably needs annotated as well.

While listening to GD Radio play-back the Cotterell Gym show from Nov. 4, 1977 Hamilton NY. I was reading the comments posted and picked up that prior show was in Toronto, not Cincinnati. Here is what "Tone Monster" wrote that help me catch this venue mistake. I was the "stage manager" for this show at Colgate. Basically in charge of helping the road crew load and off load. As soon as they got there the head roadie asked me if I could get them any drugs. "Like what ? " I asked. Anything; we just came across the border (from Canada) so we have nothing. I rounded up some pot, uppers and ludes from some dealers I knew who were pleased to be providing the Dead with some recreational diversions. Sat backstage for the whole show but don't remember much so it's great to revisit the set list and peoples comments about the show. Cub Sez: Cheers !

There doesn't seem to be a complete recording of this show, but they closed out the 2nd set with Around and Around (with the Johnny B. Goodish instrumental break in the middle).

There is an error in the song list. The last but one song is Standing on The Moon, not Stander on the Mountain. DeadBase agrees, so does the cd I've just played of this show.

Berkeley set up an event for that Sunday, which cause the (last ever) Greek show to be the Saturday (8/19) epic show which none of us will ever forget (killer Wharf Rat)! So there is a "phantom" show or mirror image of your ticket which was Thurs/17 - do not ever listen to a note of this show. My take is the boys knew that the faithful would not be able to make this show due to last-minute travel changes, and subconsciously or not make it forgettable in the extreme. Honestly, it does not even sound like music. As great as 8/19 was and is, 8/17/89 is "a date which will live in infamy." Conversely, 8/18/89, Friday, was a perfectly good show (and I called the set opener, sang it to myself all the way there on BART - true story). Peace, fellow traveller, and get yo'self a copy of 8/19 (it was on KPFA and elsewhere, so there are good copies circulating. DtM

Nothing wrong with this date but your missing the Bust Benifit the week before, Oct. 22, 1967 at Winterland. The Dead, Big Brother and QSMS. The Dead only did one set because Jerry was indisposed by the new purple acid that made its appearance at this concert.

They really don't care and won't fix it. I wouldn't waste your time. At least that's the impression I get since they've never fixed anything in 5 years. Sorry to be a bummer.

You made me smile, wilfredtjones. They did fix something for me when the site was new. It was the location of my first show on June 17th, '66. The city listed was incorrect. I remember asking if they are going to take my word on it and "yes, they will, at least until someone comes along and says that isn't correct." I still have the handbill. Peace & lots of Music

Spanish jam actually preceded Wharf Rat (in reverse of the order still showing there; though there was a brief bit of Wharf Rat-yness, instrumentally, in the Other One that Spanish jam came from). Documentation: the bonus disc to the 2012 Dave's Picks subscription.

So where's 3-20-91, Capital Centre 3RD night? Best night of the stand! : ) ***UPDATE ~ ok, found it, but it's not wedged between the correct two shows. Pull it up and you'll see what I mean (or pull up 3/18/91...goes to 3/21 as next show instead of this one). If this is the anyone's biggest problem, the world is safe. But just sayin'.

Any,who when Promised Land, Sugaree were not on the top of this awesomely clear, stereo, simplicity heaven.....capture of The Bears's board..excuse me. The dead.net list needs to add Promised Land and Sugaree to the start of this show according to 2 sources. My Ears and My Eyes -of the world.

Judging from this comment I guess I'm becoming one of those G-d dang picky deadheads. Many sources have this show being at Brendan Byrne Arena, I've come to discover that the full name was Brendan Byrne Arena at Meadowlands Sports Complex, East Rutherford, NJ. Now there's a corporate name for the place (which can change every year) that screws up our venues listing, but we can deal with it. I like to stick with the venue's original name on more recent live shows. I know you've heard it before, but, Have a Jerry Christmas and a Happy New Weir!!!

I was in attendance for the three shows at Nassau Coliseum, which we call the "three days in the saddle."The page for this show can not be brought up from page for the prior show 11/01/1979. It shows the next show as Providence Civic Center - November 4, 1979. For the 11/02/1979 page, the previous show is shown as Cumberland County Civic Center - May 13, 1979 and the next show is shown as Kiel Auditorium - December 9, 1979.

We played the first dance Bill Graham had at the Fillmore and almost nobody knows it. This is a chance to set the record straight. My band, the Vipers, played first that night. We were not on the posters, and in the Chronicle the next day Ralph Gleason referred to us as the VIPs. One historian who has dug into it mentions us: http://rockarchaeology101.blogspot.com/2010/03/1805-geary-blvd-san-fran… See the sentence with the link to Mount Rushmore and follow the link. I'm in touch with the other 3 members from that night 47+ years ago. You can interview all of us if you want to fill in the details of how it happened.

I always forget that it was not only the first dance at the Fillmore but the Warlocks first appearance as the Grateful Dead. You may be interested in my attempt to place it in the context of a life. I attended the Big Beat Acid Test the next night. A pretty big weekend for a 21 year old, soon to be a Stanford drop-out.
