Editor's Note
This electrifying live performance by the cult jam band The Grateful Dead was filmed (oddly enough) at Radio City Music Hall in October of 1980. DEAD AHEAD splices together the best footage of that historical week when the Dead played at the legendary Music Hall every day. Songs performed over the nearly two hour video include "Uncle John's Band," "To Lay Me Down," and "On the Road Again."
