Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from Warner Home Video, presenting the 40th anniversary release of Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music – the director’s cut, on Special Edition DVD and Ultimate Collector’s Edition DVD and Blu-Ray. The Ultimate Collector’s Edition contains more than two extra hours of rare performance footage as never before seen.
