“Uncle John’s Band” #69 9/19/1970

The Grateful Dead never depended on singles for success and longevity. Perhaps that was because this record, their first chart single, was heavily edited in such a way that the band felt their work had been totally butchered. We give you the unedited version here. Their legendary fan base (known as Deadheads) traveled around the country following the band and would swap bootleg live recordings. Hey, I liked the fact those guys could play anything, but the Deadheads...I never quite got that whole thing.
