Customer Reviews:

Excellant Sound and Film Quality.......2007-05-14

By far the best GD cronicle that I have seen. The energy level of their play was certainly at a peak here. I was happy to see that a release of this quality had a playlist that included some of their lesser known works.

GD Best in Show of the live DVD's.......2007-01-29

I "got on the bus" on the 12/31/82 show, and in my opinion, if you want to know what the fuss was all about with this band you should pick up this DVD and the "Dozin' at the Knick" CD. The stages of the Grateful Dead can best be measured by the tenure of the keyboard players, giving Brent two periods (early and late). "Late Brent" is defined as the period where he was given a chance to lead once or twice a show, as opposed to "Early Brent" where it was more like once or twice a month. "Late Brent" is where the Dead finally got it all together as a professional act, and you get the benefit of all that in this DVD:

+ Equipment and sound at the show is clean, bugfree, and solid
+ Camera and recording chops are practiced and at their best
+ This particular DVD comes at a point in the technology where they've figured that out too. 5.1 sound is clean and strong... Phil (bass) is ALL THERE and the "rain" sound effects during "Looks Like Rain" come from behind you!

For various Deadhead reasons, I prefer this show over all the other commercial releases. Jerry's voice is not entirely up to snuff, but his playing is, and this is basically my kinda show. Touches like:

+ Jerry plays slide, as well as the Tiger guitar all show.
+ Brent sings a verse in "Women Smarter." Smokes on the keys too.
+ "Deal" starts easy and comfy, then raises to a smokin' blaze. All JG.
+ I still get a rush out of Brent's keyboards on "Touch of Grey." That song was going nowhere until Jerry let Brent put the finishing touches on, making it their only bonafide top 40 hit.
+ Let's face it... this show is close to an ideal non-rarities setlist for me. IWTYH->Watchtower->Dew->NFA!! Good God!

Good DVD production, OK Musical Performance.......2007-01-23

I'd give it 5 stars for overall production. (My only picky complaint would be that they didn't have decent sustained shots of Bill or Micky on the drums except for the drum solos.) It was a nice option to be able to view lyrics to the songs while watching the show. I'd give it 3 stars for musical performance though. This was not Jerry at his finest (lots of little clams) but he was still the driving force on stage. My favorite moment was the audience singing "Not Fade Away" in unison after the band left the stage, exhorting the Dead NOT to disappear.

Truckin' Up to Buffalo: July 4, 1989 -Grateful Dead.......2007-01-08

Awesome DVD-had to have it was at the show. It is truly one of their best performances, they were definately on some good stuff that night!! seriously it is a great addition to any collection.

Solid Dead.......2006-11-05

The Dead over it's long and storied career has ebb's and flows in terms
of greatness. Many fans will prefer certian periods to others, some of the time the later era dead being subject of harsher criticism based on the Jerry's health at the time etc etc.
I think the for this time period 1989 this is solid dead set. If you like
"dozin at the knick" you'll like this one. The dvd is even better.
To watch a band play as a band with no ego's just good music, this is a good one. The set is spirited as well, top quality Dead.
