Filmed during the Grateful Dead's last summer tour before the death of Jerry Garcia, this engaging documentary features interviews with fans and vendors that followed the Dead for years (one fan recalls that "when I first started going to shows, I was still inside my mother.") An added video bonus is a tacked-on interview with Ken Kesey, whose muddled pro-drug commentary does serve as an excellent deterrent for those considering hallucinogenic drug use. Recommended. (R. Pitman)
