remember that the sound man owsley who switched the grounds at woodstock wasnt just high, he was the man who MADE the acid. the whole myth that the dead stank at woodstock was started by jerry on the letterman show, and he said it jokingly, so no one knows what he really thought. in the same interview he also said they were playing "not bad" down the street at msg, while they were SMOKIN'! this is the first ive really heard it and it isnt anywhere near as bad as he said.

@artsmith1972 If they weren't on drugs during the performance then it could have been better. But they were getting interferance on the amps, and like you say the stage was flooded and they did get shocked.

the dead are just so hard on themselves espically their live preformances, their woodstock gig wasnt even that bad, the worst day the dead have is the greatest day any other band could dream of

@Mikemaniax Indeed
-
@spacemeddle Yeah. Too bad they gave up this early into the song.

@SCOTT919 agreed! I think St. Stephen at Woodstock was pretty damn good, same with Lovelight
-
@Jerrytheband it was just edited, I'm sure it was much longer

i would pay gold to be there

speak it! ;-)

for so many years we heard how bad The Dead were at Woodstock. Just watched The Woodstock Ultimate collection and saw them perform Lovelight. I thought it sounded great! Thet were really selling them selves short by saying how bad they were.
OK you do the amount of drugs they were on, get shocked touching your instrument, and play in the middle of the night trippin your gourd off- lets see how you sound. Some of you fuckers sayin bad shit dont/cant play ANY instrument.... Under the circumstances I think they did just fine... OH and of all the bands at woodstock- who was still playin and selling out venues into the 90's?
Shit... if you dont know what your talking about- then keep your trap shut.

IMHO, though, this isn't a bad performance.
