Description:

This program looks at the span of the Grateful Dead's music from 1968's "ANTHEM OF THE SUN", which was a hybrid of a live and studio album, and the 1970 country-styled album "AMERICAN BEAUTY". The story is told through new and vintage interviews with band members Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Jerry Garcia, and Mickey Hart, guest musicians, and lyricist Robert Hunter, along with home movies from the Grateful Dead's own archive. Features many classic Dead tunes including: "Truckin'", Mountains Of The Moon", "Sugar Magnolia", and "Box Of Rain".

5Top 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.

5Short 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.

5Great 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.

3New 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.

3good 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.
