Summary: 5 Stars
If you love the Grateful Dead, you must have this. What more is there to say?Movie Review: Grew on me (let it grow)
Summary: 4 Stars
Original title: Just OK, but enjoyable once or twice
Man, I remember those days so well...evrybody was excited about the acoustic sets, and when Reckoning came out, hoo! I still love that record.
These visuals, frankly, don't add much to the experience, IMO. It still bugs me to see Weir in the Izod shirt.
ps added later: Still enjoyable after 4-5 times. Musically, the Closing of Winterland DVD is far superior IMO. But here you've got Brent and the acoustic tunes.
I just had to laugh at the reviewer who is still miffed 25 years later about those rude Deadheads STANDING during the show! Strikes me as a little unclear on the concept.
Movie Review: Not enough bonus material
Summary: 4 Stars
The only problem I have with this DVD is that they cheesed out with the bonus material. This is a compilation of two shows that were both aired on cable way back when and unfortunatly some of the best music AND comedy skits are missing. What is here is nice however when you realize that they cut songs like Jack Straw in favor of Me And My Uncle. Most of the acoustic sets from both evenings is missing and when you realize how infrequently they performed that way it REALLY seems unfortunate. Missing also is the great drums->The Other One with Billy Cobham. This would definately get five if it had all that or even some. Still what is here is quite good.
