I remember them doing really nice and extended covers of Dylan songs.

Funny you mention this : I Dl'ed an early 80's Dead show where a bunch of classic obscure American songs were played. Guess what? It's the same songs Dylan would cover between 1988 and 1993 (alledgedly better). So the Dead should get more credit than they usually get, particularly for the influence they had on Dylan.

How tragic. A state of the art sound system, years ahead of its time. Wasted on the worst group of all time. Meanwhile the Stones were just happy to get fold back speakers in '69 so they could at least hear themselves.
Now we don't even know if we have a decent stereo recording of the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World, from '66 or '67, Brian's last U.S. and European appearances with the original band.

Worst group of all time? Speak for yourself! The GD established many protocols, procedures and practices in the business of rock'n'roll touring that are still prevelant today. There music is also timeless!

Dan Healy (guy this article is about) and Owsley Stanley (the grandfather of LSD and the guy that came up with the Steal Your Face logo) were both absolutely crucial for getting concert sound to where it is today. For the music geeks here, here's a great article on the Wall of Sound the GD devised: [enmoreaudio.com]
