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. This footage features five artists who were at Woodstock but did not appear in any previous film version, including The Grateful Dead, Paul Butterfield, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter, and Mountain.

A rare rainbow

We don’t get a lot of rain in the Bay Area in July. A light rain in Oakland at 8pm, with the sun shining brightly through a clear sky toward the western horizon, gave us this breathtaking sight. Friends all over the Bay Area reported seeing it.
