Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786305127277 Format: Box set, Color, Limited Edition, Special Edition, NTSC ISBN: 6305127271 Label: Monterey Video Languages: Manufacturer: Monterey Video Number Of Items: 4 Publisher: Monterey Video Release Date: October 06, 1998 Running Time: 660 minutes Studio: Monterey Video Theatrical Release Date: October 06, 1998 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This four-tape limited edition set is the Deadhead Encyclopedia Britannica--but a lot more fun--especially useful during those long stretches between Furthur Festivals. It includes the 1976 Grateful Dead Movie; Downhill from Here, a terrific live concert tape culled from two 1989 shows at Alpine Valley, Wisconsin; Ticket to New Year's, recorded New Year's Eve 1987 at the Oakland Coliseum; and Dead Ahead, a 1981 pay-per-view special featuring performances at Radio City Music Hall and hosted by Al Franken and Tom Davis. (Each tape is also available individually.) All four present terrific concert sequences and some candid backstage interviews. The Grateful Dead Movie shows its age a bit in its less-than-ideal sound and visual quality, but the trippy animation sequences are still a lot of fun. The other three show a wide range of great Dead performances, both acoustic and electric, and with all the spontaneity and looseness Deadheads adore. Anyone wanting to embark on that long, strange trip need look no further than this collection. --Anne Hurley Average Rating:
 Rating: - Look for the DEAL...and then make the STEAL!THIS IS A GREAT DEAL. Top of the list for me is DownHill From here...Feel like a stranger is smokeing and it's nice to see Jerey and Brent work off each others presence...You feel like your there as with any live dead performance good or bad. Ticket to New years is a close second in the pack, or maybe it should be hand and hand. So tight comeing in with Bertha...once again you can taste the vibe in the air. Cold Rain and Snow sets you in perfectly. And there really isnt anything bad to say about ... Read More |
