As promised yesterday, here's another one from the Grateful Dead in Berkeley in 1989. This one is a sounboard recording from August 18, 1989, 35 years ago today. In a nice bit of symetry, the 2nd set ends with Turn On Your Love Light, the same tune the Dead finished with at Woodstock. In addition, the final encore, And We Bid You Goodnight, was often the final song played at many 1969 shows, as evidenced on the Live Dead album.
To round out a our discussion of the Grateful Dead at Woodstock lets here from Jerry Garcia himself who told interviewers that "we played such a bad set at Woodstock. The weekend was great, but our set was terrible. We were all pretty smashed, and it was at night. Like we knew there were a half million people out there, but we couldn't see one of them. There were about a hundred people on stage with us, and everyone was scared that it was gonna collapse. On top of that, it was raining or wet, so that every time we touched our guitars, we'd get these electrical shocks. Blue sparks were flying out of our guitars." Of course, Jerry finished his thoughts about the festival in his typical optimistic way, sayimn "“It’s nice to know you can survive as a band even after blowing the biggest gig of your career.”
