Movie Reviews of A Night at the Family Dog 1970 (The Grateful Dead / Jefferson Airplane / Santana)

Movie Review: A Night at the Family Dog
Summary: 5 Stars

I gave this DVD as a gift, the recipient told me that the concert is awesome. The film quality is excellent. There is a petition to have Chet Helms (August 2, 1942 - June 25, 2005) founder of the Family Dog inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. [...]

Summary of A Night at the Family Dog 1970 (The Grateful Dead / Jefferson Airplane / Santana)

Filmed on location at the Family Dog Ballroom in San Francisco in September, 1970, the show captures the heyday and diversity of the San Francisco sound with three of the most well known bands to emerge from the scene: Santana, who would release their second album at the end of 1970; The Grateful Dead, including original band member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who were making a name for themselves with their jam-filled performances; and Jefferson Airplane, who were at the time the biggest of the bands from the area.

San Francisco was an area of artistic creation during the mid-to-late 60's. Whether it was art, poetry or music, the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco was the place for like-minded individuals to explore and create. Noted jazz columnist Ralph J. Gleason took note of the exploding rock music scene and produced several television specials and documentaries spotlighting the music emerging from San Francisco. A Night At The Family Dog is one part of a two-part series (the other is Go Ride The Music) that aired on The National Educational Television Network in 1970.

The audio for this program has been extrapolated up to Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes from their original mono source! This show has never sounded or looked so good!
