Long time ago dutch television did an item on the Grateful Dead. VARA TV broadcast an entire episode of their RAPIDO series about the band and their followers. The language is dutch but we are used to subtitles so a lot of the footage is in english too. Please click on the image to watch the video.

I was there with my buddy Bob Mayes. After years of collecting and trading live cassette tapes (TDK’s , Chrome Maxell, Ferro Philips) this was my first ever live Dead concert… The floor of the famous RockPalast was shaking and Phil’s bass was like thunder…
