Notes

In the liner notes to Deadicated David Hidlago comments on the Grateful Dead;

The first time I really heard the Dead was the 'Live/Dead' album. St Stephen and The Eleven were one side of the record. Jerry's guitar playing really pulled me in. All that interplay that was going on was intriguing.

We were invited to open one of their shows at Laguna Seca. That was the first time I ever got to see the band live. We met the guys and got a feel for the whole thing, their playing, their audience. The whole thing seemed pretty positive.

I like Bertha. It's a good feeling song.

Garcia, Bob Weir and Los Lobos recorded a video of a performance of This Land Is Your Land in July 1989 for ABC's Nightline July 4th broadcast.
