The only Grateful Dead video to have received a theatrical release (in the mid-'70s), this film is a real time capsule. See Keith and Donna Godcheaux as integral parts of the band! See the Wall of Sound! See the trippy animation! See Jerry with all-black hair! The photography and sound are crude and not on par with those in some of the more recent Dead videos, notably <I>Ticket to New Year's</I> or <I>Downhill from Here</I>, but its earnestness, and its focus on an era in the Band's history with little other video documentation, more than make up for the lack of polish. There's some above-average music, too, especially "Eyes of the World" and the ever-irresistible "U.S. Blues." <I>--Anne Hurley</I>
Viewer Reviews We watched this and thought it was great to see all the dead head's from back in the day jamming out. Really cool.
