number6,

The special Features have additional concert footage. Tom Rush and Eric Anderson performed.

I have to admit, altough I am a big fan of Rock from this era, I have heard very little Grateful Dead. I guess my only exposure to them was Truckin' and Casey Jones, both songs that I like. I am realizing that I missed out, I really enjoyed what I heard of them in this DVD. I will have to seek them out.

Yeah, the jam with Danko, Garcia and Janis was something. As completely out of it as they were, they sounded pretty good.

Buddy Guy jamming on the train complete with Horns was neat too.

Tough to watch realizing that Janis would be dead a few months later. What struck me is just how young she looked (and was).

The Band footage was great. Man, I loved those guys.

It's too bad that the Promoter lost his shirt on this. The performers seemed to have had the party of their lives.
