John Peel 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”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e56 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, which included the likes of 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne reviewer said “It represents a band playing at the edge of new possibilities and ideas,”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.” His description of Jerry’s performance was compelling: “…the solid red Gibson looked so flimsy in Garcia’s hands that it looked like it would break like balsa if he squeezed it—but it seemed like every time he touched it, beautiful, clear ringing notes poured out—and on Me and My Uncle he was just fucking fabulous.” Dick Lawson (‘What would be the answer to the answer then?’ Friends 12) completely gushed over the show, describing their set as \"The most ecstatic exploratory music ever witnessed in England.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSide A.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1 Casey Jones 5:30\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2 China Cat Sunflower 3:43\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3 I Know You Rider 3:50\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA4 Hard To Handle 3:00\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA5 Me \u0026amp; My Uncle 3:40\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA6 Cryptical Envelopment 1:15\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA7 drums 2:11\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA8 The Other One 3:44\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSide Length: 26:59\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSide B.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1 Cryptical Envelopment 3:15\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2 Attics Of My Life 6:03\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3 Good Lovin' drums 3:59\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4 Good Lovin’ 6:57\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB5.
