See the Grateful Dead at their electrically hazardous performance at Woodstock 1969 with their song "Mama Tried". Drugs, pshychedelia, music- The Grateful Dead, an embodiment of the hippie archetype.

  • i just came back from bethel upstate new york were the woodstock museum is and i had a wonderful time. i 100% recommend it

  • Even though this is certainly not one of the Dead's best performances, it's still one of the best at Woodstock. It's a fucking disgrace that it took forty years for the producers to include ONE of the songs hidden deep within the bonus footage when they included Sha Na Na AND Country Joe in the original cut. Janis was sub-par as well but it didn't keep her performance out of the movie.

    I mean, did they honestly expect the Dead to refrain from drug use AT FUCKING WOODSTOCK?! Give me a break.

  • I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rothbury Woooo...

  • jerry Garcia was clever. he probably wanted the Dead's performance to be hard to find. Like the exclabur in Sherwood Forest. Green

  • This is not the best live recording of the Grateful Dead's cover version of Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried." There are better versions out there. It is good to listen to for the historical significance.

  • @ilovetofish69 goovy :-)

  • @NEVERLEAVEORFORSAKE old hippies and prowd of it

  • i've been listening to the woodstock playlist today, st. stephen, mama tried, technical difficulties, dark star, high times, and lovelight...and in my opinion, not a bad performance considering the chaos around the stage...and the crowd seems a bit rude 'sit down, stand up' and overall fussy from not enough sleep or food or hygiene.

    i would say that the technical difficulties interlude hearkens to acid test free association, don't understand the negative reviews after hearing for myself.

  • @deadhead1130 i do to. i live 5 minutes away from it. when there are concerts there i can hear them playing. i love living so close to this amazing historical site. ive been in the museum and it is really cool in there , so i do reccomend it (:

  • this is like raorblades to my ears
