     Given the "relaxed" atmostphere around the Dead.  And since the
lyrics were not copied per se, I dont think anyone should be worrying
about copyright violation.  These lyrics were probably gleaned from
thousands of hours of of the tapes that the Dead have never restricted.
I dont think the band would mind them being posted, considering the
important acid test - no one has profited from them.  In fact, in
reference to some who said that a European Deadhead was selling copies,
the posting of the lyrics probably saved the publishing world from
losing several dollars of ill-gotten gains. 

    Thank you for posting them.
