Notes:
–small glitch/discontinuity at 0:10 in St. Stephen
–there seem to be disguised splices in St. Stephen, as several verses are missing. It seems possible that power was cutting out at times causing this problem.

Strangely enough I’ve never listened to the Dead’s show at Woodstock. I’m not sure why except that even the band says they had a terrible show.
Garcia had mention that early on they seem to blow the big gigs. Having the major risk of being electrocuted and trippin balls were also factors here at Woodstock 69′
Yeah I’ve heard all the horror stories about this show which is probably why I’ve never sought it out. I’m intrigued by the ten minutes of banter as they try to fix the stage.
thanks for the show,had a 1 disc version that cut the lovelight
