The latest installment in the Grateful Dead âs All The Years Live Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY on July 4th, 1989.
This clip joins fellow 7/4/89 entries “Touch of Grey ” and “Cold Rain And Snow ” from the site now known as Bills Stadium . “Bertha” came as the show-opener for the concert that would later be officially released as Truckin’ Up To Buffalo in 2005. Kicking off with the high-intensity stomper, this live cutâas well as the entire concert itselfâpersonifies the very best of the Dead in 1989.
Grateful Dead archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux notes in the video’s description,
From its opening notes, we knew this was going to be a show on July 4th. This Bertha finds the Dead in fine form, carrying on the energy they’d ended the previous show in Foxboro.
Watch the Grateful Dead perform “Bertha” on Independence Day, 1989 at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.
