Number of times played by Grateful Dead
According to the article "Indeed according to Deadbase X, it was the most-played song of all in the Dead's long concert career, with 613 performances.", yet according to http://setlists.net it was played only 605 times and is not the most-played song of theirs (trailing behind Playin' in the Band, The Other One and Not Fade Away). Can someone confirm that Deadbase X actually states the fact presented in the article? Weedar 20:44, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

The article states that "The first available performance of it is from the Electric Theater in Chicago, on April 26, 1969, and is available on Dick's Picks, Vol 26.[2]" There's a bootleg from 11-29-1966 at the link below. http://www.deadlegs.com/tunes/1960/1966/112966/112966.ram

Presence of Neil Young and Stephen Stills
The quoted article claims that Neil Young and Stephen Stills were at the after-concert party in Arizona in 1963 where the song was written. From every biographical entry I have read on these two, this is highly doubtful. In 1963, the 18 year old Stills was probably still in Florida or had just migrated to New York. He would have toured with the Au Go Go singers, but they didn't form until 1964. Young didn't turn 18 until late 1963 and would have still been in Canada, not having joined a band that would have toured the states until 1966. Both Stills and Young claim that their first meeting was in Canada in 1965.

In this case, how should one edit the article? Take out the Stills and Young references with ellipses? Add a footnote? Put something in the article? Anyone have an idea? Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 15:31, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Girl in Pink
Video of young girl in pink dancing on NYC subway station to Coyote & Crow's interesting rendition brought song to new audience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1tVbD2aQ7E 78.150.12.232 (talk) 13:29, 7 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.150.12.232 (talk)

Recorded on a CASSETTE
Recording of Phillips song on a cassette is doubtful as according to WIKIPEDIA the first cassette recorder was demonstrated in Berlin in Aug 1963. Introduction in North America lagged until '64. No way they had anything but a reel-to-reel tape recorder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.144.178 (talk) 06:24, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Good point. Anachronistic reference. They did have very small reel-to-reel battery operated machines by then that were no bigger than the first cassette machines. I had one of them.Bob Caldwell CSL (talk) 13:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
