Live At Ted Askey's Pig Farm 1970 captures a truly landmark moment in rock history — the Grateful Dead's first ever performance in the United Kingdom and Europe. Held at the Hollywood Festival in Staffordshire, England in May 1970, this outdoor event brought together an extraordinary lineup of talent, and the Dead's appearance left a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. Legendary BBC broadcaster John Peel, who DJ'd and compered the event, later recalled it as one of the defining festival experiences in the history of English music.
Recorded at the height of their early improvisational powers, this live set showcases the Grateful Dead in raw, unfiltered form — delivering the sprawling, psychedelic jams and loose, communal energy that made them one of America's most electrifying live acts. Sixteen tracks document a band fully in their element, translating their West Coast sound to a new continent for the very first time and winning over a new generation of fans in the process.
