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 Ticket to New Year's or Downhill from Here, 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." --Anne Hurley

!!! IF ITS NOT A BABY, THEN YOUR'E NOT PREGNANT !!! June 30, 2009
aspiring saint (in the moment zone)
This is the only footage available from the BEST era of the Dead. Although the performances aren't always the best, Jerry seems downright confused and/or timid during China Cat...proban=blt trippin'!, there are plenty of great moments musically. The new SOUND is weel done and invigorating, especially in Surround Sound. The DVD has 1 1/2 hours of new concert footage. A true classic and a must own for those interested in the band.
Dead Head's movie November 10, 2008
W. Belk (New Port Richey, FL)
We watched this and thought it was great to see all the dead head's from back in the day jamming out. Really cool.

Let's see, kickin set list with fan favorites and some beautiful extended jams? check. Wall of sound? check. Interviews with the band and some colorful dead heads? check. Behind the scenes footage? check. The most moving rendition of Morning Dew ever captured on tape? check.
The bottom line: You will not be dissapointed, this one has it all!
Great movie - need HD! January 18, 2008
J. A. Pettler (Asheville, NC)
Born too late and having missed out on one of my favorite bands this movie provides the closest thing to a Grateful Dead show out there. Even if you're not a fan I think there is a lot of value in watching this DVD. It also might turn someone on ...
This needs the HD treatment. The DVD sparks with excellent sound and video quality I couldn't imagine what it would be like in HD. Closer to the real thing? Perhaps!

This dvd set is the most prized in my entire collection. The brilliant music and sound quality on this dvd has already been explained enough, I just want to make one comment.
In the bonus songs is a track simply titled "the other one." The song though is part of my favorite music suites ever by the dead. On 10/17/74, during the second set... He's Gone > jam > weirdness > the other one > spanish jam > mind left body jam > the other one > stella blue. The whole thing together is mind boggling. Unfortunately the DVD song only has the tail end of weirdness > the other one > spanish jam > mlbj > too. While this segment is still sublime (especially the gorgeous MLBJ,) it would've been nice to see the whole sequence together.
My point is, don't overlook the bonus tracks, which are magnificent, and also don't skimp on buying the so called "movie soundtrack," which has tons of amazing music not on the dvd, as well as the complete sequence described above.
