fucking hippie bullshit

fuckin grumpy loser

The Dead may be one of the most under appreciated bands of all time. For those that never gave them a chance- YOUR LOSS. I was 30 before I gave them a chance, and now they're one of my favorite bands. There's something to be said about anyone or anything, especially a Rock band, that takes chances without complete disregard or apology for how it may turn out. I don't love all their recordings or renditions, but there is a reason why they have their own channel on Sirius.

cheers to all who think this song choice was great for woodstock--im glad the ARTSISTS chose to play what they DESIRED to play--the funny thing about the most creative artists is that they are rarely understood in their own time, but more fully understood and appreciated after their time

Woodstock was not a suitable 'gig' for a band like the dead anyway

these are my humble opinions anyway

peace, hope, & love

That was lame. This song is boring and was a total buzz kill at Woodstock. So was Lovelight. It was an inappropriate setlist for a 2am Sunday morning set. Listen to the Dead's Woodstock album. NOBODY was digging this set, but just an hour later, the crowd was cheering Creedence like crazy (at 5am). The lyrics High Time do not reflect "high" in that sense. "Fail" vetoed.
Woodstock was only famous because of the movie. There were bigger and better festivals before and after Woodstock.

The seriousness of this song brings tears of joy to my eyes every time. It totally makes sense to me why this was played at Woodstock. It's not all about mindless happy happy joy joy 24/7. Introspect was something that the Grateful Dead helped me exercise; and songs like this are therapy for me on rainy days like today.

Too bad you could not wrap your mind around this and appreciate it, you are missing a lot...
