Believe it or not, the links between Neil and The Grateful Dead go all the way back to 1963. Neil was with John Phillips (of the Mama’s and Papa’s) when John wrote Me & MY Uncle, a tune that later became a staple of The Dead’s live shows. Neil should have been on stage on the last night of Monterrey Pop, right before The Who and The Dead, but he was feuding with the other members of Buffalo Springfield at the time and skipped the festival. He and The Dead were both at Woodstock, where CSNY played just their 2nd concert ever. Neil also appeared at The SNACK benefit in March 1975, one of just 4 concerts the Dead played that year, playing alongside Bob Dylan and The Band, 2 other groups with long time ties to the Grateful Dead. In November 1991, Neil sat in with the Dead at the Bill Graham Memorial concert, playing Dylan’s Forever Young in memory of the late, great promoter. This FM broadcast captures Neil just 5 years ago today, in New York, on Sepetmber 29, 2012.

Hi. Please can you supply the source of the information that links John Phillips to Neil Young in 1963. Neil would have been 18 and as a Neil head and not a Deadhead I would have said this date as elaborated on Wikipedia as been too early...'at a drinking session in a hotel room with Judy Collins, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young among others in 1963' Judy Collins says she ...In the book she describes first meeting Stills at a party in 1967...Neil had only recorded one demo at the time and was givging with the SquiresS in Canada, so I guess it must have been around then? or was it much later in Laurel Canyon? Many thanks for the blog
I got the info from the me & My Uncle entry at Wikipedia. That's all I know.
