The Grateful Dead are their own phenomenon. Influenced by Blues, Jazz, Country, Folk and of course Rock ‘N’ Roll, they used to stretch their compositions to incredible lengths, improvising solos and lyrics. The Grateful Dead came late on stage because Owsley Stanley (a.k.a. “Bear” – their soundman and electrical engineer) wanted to fix the electrical ground on stage. Also their heavy equipment had squashed the turnable stage. Further, the rain had flooded the stage and the band was in danger of electric shocks. Songs got delayed because of long breaks between them. After a while, it all ended in an almost everlasting “Turn On Your Lovelight” after which the band left. The Dead started at about 10:30 pm on Saturday the 16^th. Their gig was supposed to be a little longer than the other bands because of the breaks. So they finished around midnight.
