Description

Grateful Dead's first ever gig in the UK and Europe in 1970, captured here on a special OZIT Records release. This edition is presented as a double LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed on red vinyl and offered as an Indies Only pressing.

John Peel said in 1995: "How many examples have there been in the longish history of English music festivals that define the festival in your head for ever? There have been a few, I DJ’d and compered at The Grateful Dead at Ted Askey’s pig farm, Staffordshire, this was a great example".

Fifty-six years ago the Grateful Dead made their first trip across the pond to play at the Hollywood Festival. The two-day outdoor event was packed with a variety of local and national talent, including Traffic, Ginger Baker’s Airforce, Mungo Jerry, The Flaming Groovies, Tony Joe White, a very young Black Sabbath, and Jose Feliciano. The Dead performed a fine electric set despite the tiny stage, crowded press arena, and a PA and monitoring system that they weren't able to hear. No problem, the boys played full tilt for three hours straight to the delight of the Newcastle-under-Lyme freaks and adventurous locals.

One reviewer said: "It represents a band playing at the edge of new possibilities and ideas."

The British press were unanimous in their positive appraisal of the Dead’s showing at the festival. Mac Garry in Zigzag 13 said that they were "totally magnificent." Dick Lawson in Friends 12 described the set as "The most ecstatic exploratory music ever witnessed in England."
