The Grateful Dead performed at Farm Aid in 1986 and 1987, but never appeared live at the festival.  In 1986, they were in Buffalo and portions of their set were simulcast for the live crowd in Austin to enjoy on the big screen.  Likewise in  1987, the Dead were in New York, and 3 songs from their 2nd set were simulcast for those gathered at Farm Aid in Lincoln.

This soundboard recording captures the Dead 10 years before their first Farm Aid appearance, on September 27, 1976, 49 years ago today, in Rochester.  The concert was part of their first fall tour since returing to live performing in June 1976, after about a year and half hiatus.

Note - while the sound quality is generally excellent, some extraneous noise can be heard during Neil's set. You see, he decided to play his songs in a chicken coop in a farm, so you can occaisionally hear the hens clucking!!

Today we bring you highlights of the first Farm Aid, held in Champaign, IL, 4 decades ago today.  We've used AM, FM and TV soundboard sources to bring you as much of the show as possible, so many artists that I couldn't list them all in the labels accompanying the post.  We even have Bob Dylan's appearance alongsideTom Petty.  It was, of course, Dylan's somewhat controversial comments at Live Aid that prompted Neil Young, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp to embark on this 40 year old venture known as Farm Aid that has raised almost $80 million to supoport the American family farmer.  You can donate here.

Lou Reed has made 3 appearances at Farm Aid - the inaugural event in 1985, then in 1987 and finally in 1990. 

This soundboard recording captures him long before those Farm Aid sets, on September 20, 1973, 52 years ago today at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. A few months earlier, in July, Reed had released the concept album Berlin which tells the tale of a couple, Jim and Caroline, and their struggle with drug addiction and abuse. The album was initially a commercial and critical disaster, though over the years opinions have changed, with Rolling Stone even ranking it at #334 on its list of the greatest albums of all time.
