Deal
Sorry, guys, they definitely didn't do Deal on this occasion
Deal again
I have to concur with Simon 'Deal' was not played.
Hmmm...
Both deadbase.com and deadlists.com also indicate that "Deal" was played between "Mr.Charlie" and "Beat It On Down the Line" (sorry I can't link to those setlists, as the navigation on those sites won't allow it).
Nevertheless, it's of course entirely possible that who were there have it absolutely correct --that "Deal" was not played at Bickershaw and that a factual error has burrowed itself into the Interweb and has made its way across the length and breadth of it.
Me, I'm in no position to take one side or the other...
Anyone see the movie yet?
The Bickershaw Festival DVD has been released, but only in Britain. Also the movie is not like the one about Woodstock or the Isle of Wight. Mostly stills and amateur footage. However I am sure the film is worth seeing because this was such a fascinating festival. The Dead's set is really a classic.

The above setlist was merely copied from Deadbase, so that is why "Deal" is erroneously listed.

Spanish Jam
Met The Dead
At this gig i was one of only a very few (were you one?) who got over the fence went backstage and met Jerry sitting on the back step of a truck. Inside other members of the band were checking equipment. Security said to Jerry that they would remove us, but Jerry said let them stay and we (5/6?) remained and spent a while talking to him. I remember him asking me about a pink (i don't believe it now!) cardigan i was wearing with GD and NRPS knitted into it in another colour (red?). Anyway we were allowed to stay and when the Dead performed i positioned myself under the stage on a plank a few feet off the ground. The show was great.
