It wouldn't take Owsley, so I put in "Bear" and it auto-filled "Owsley Stanley." (Maybe allow just Owsley? Although Bear is the obvious thing to try if that doesn't work.) Then, for the question on "What was the band's official first entirely live album released," I kept trying to write in 1969. (Which it wouldn't take, of course, so I wondered if it had overdubs like E72 and moved to trying '76, '81 etc.!) I'd suggest a rephrasing: "What was the name of the band's first official entirely live album?" Then someone having a brain blip like me would have no excuse at all for missing it LOL :-)

"Hart" and "Mickey Hart's Dad/Father" was the best I could come up with for the first one. No dice. Either way, "He's gone..."

Dang, I put "playin in the band," no credit. Now I have to go to summer school.

Reminds me of one bootleg where Bobby makes fun of the pronunciation "truckinG," as if anybody would ever pronounce that "G!"
