Films/DVD Asylum

Fellow deadheads and bluegrass fans, I highly recommend that you check out the Grateful Dawg DVD. It's interviews and assorted material about the Jery Garcia/Grisman friendship in Jery's last few years. Pretty good movie . . but the sound is amazing. 5.1 channel dolby digital, mastered by Skywalker Sound . . plus it's all based on Grisman's stellar recordings. I'm normally not a fan of 5.1 channel music - but they did it correctly here. It feels like you're standing 10 feet back at the Sweetwater hearing them play live.

There is one really cheesy video of The Thrill is Gone, produced by Bill Kreutzmann's son (thought you deserved fair warning) and the rest of it is all live recordings and interviews.

Enjoy.
