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.

oh come on this aint that bad man...

this ain't a bad performance at all!

The long lost Woodstock appearance?

This is a pretty short verson of St. Stephen compared to other versons, i wonder why it was so short?

The Grateful Dead Beach Boys show was 4/28/71.

I found a clip from it here on Youtube.

God awful. No wonder they hated their Woodstock performance. Yes, it was equipment related and several of the band members received shocks from the mikes, etc. An awesome band that still inspires me and many young kids I know that never got to tour. St. Stephen is the sweetest of songs. Check out Dark Star Orchestra in concert some time if you want a pretty good Dead experience.

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.
