Top notch Dead video Jul 31, 2009 One of my favorite Dead videos ever. Great old footage, great insight into their inner workings, great interviews and music. What's not to like? I hardly ever give 5 stars but this gets it.
Short and sweet Feb 17, 2008 This is a 75-minute documentary about the band in its heyday w/ lots of Haight-Ashbury footage. Interviews with bandmembers (Lesh, Weir, Garcia, Hart, & others) plus Hunter, their lyricist. I thought it did a great job of capturing what was special about the Dead: how they came up with their music and what their experiences were while making it.

Great DVD for any Dead fan! Dec 23, 2005 I was spellbound by this when I got it. Great archvial footage, interviews with the band, and just a great look at their transformation from Anthem of the Sun to American Beauty (hence the title). Includes live footage, studio footage, and them talking about track layers, and how a lot of the songs came together (including Robert Hunter talking about his inspiration with a lot of classic songs). I especially loved when Robert Hunter talked about going to London for the first time and the songs that came from his first few hours there (hint: Ripple is one of them!) Pick this up, light up and kick back. Heartwarming.

New to Grateful Dead Nov 27, 2005 This DVD gives a good idea of what the band was about from 1968-1970, The DVD format is strange and is hard to play on my DVD players.

good but not great Sep 02, 2005 great classic footage with some cool interviews.
didnt like the liberal use of "the grateful dead movie"
footage mixed with music that was not from that era of the dead.
