Grateful Dead HQ Releases Pro-Shot 7/4/89 “Bertha” for ‘All The Years Live’ Video Series

12:11 PM EDT on October 8, 2020


This week's All The Years Live video selection showcases the Grateful Dead's high-energy "Bertha" which opened their Independence Day 1989 show in Orchard Park, NY.

"From its opening notes, we knew this was going to be a show on July 4th," explains GD archivist David Lemieux. "This 'Bertha' finds the Dead in fine form, carrying on the energy they'd ended the previous show in Foxboro."

In January, All The Years Live revisited the "Cold Rain and Snow" from this same 7/4/89 outing.
