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

Movie Review: Short dvd leaves you wanting just a little more
Summary: 3 Stars

This dvd is kind of what I expected in terms of sound and video quality based on when it was recorded. It's less than an hour long and includes 2-3 songs from each band. I have to say that I was a little distracted by the long cuts to dancing girls since you don't really get to see that much of the bands playing. Not a huge deal, just a little frustrating. This dvd is fun to watch if you already love the music, which I do. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this dvd unless you love these bands and want a taste of nostalgia.

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!
