Leave your thoughts about Grateful Dawg.
| New York TimesLawrence Van GelderFor those who have never previously encountered Garcia or Mr. Grisman, here is an opportunity to make their rewarding acquaintance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannFor music fans, there's great pleasure in hearing new audio tracks to "Sitting Here in Limbo," "Friend of the Devil" and more songs -- each one complete and unedited. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt's to be expected that the music is going to be wonderful, and it is. But there is more to this film, a surprising amount more. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim Lane[W]hen your subject is as interesting as this, and when the music your camera catches is this lively and toe-tapping, you don't exactly have to be a brilliant or innovative filmmaker. |
| Seattle TimesPam SittIt may not be much in the way of documentary filmmaking, but for fans of Garcia, Grisman or good old-fashioned American music, it's enough to be grateful for. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's a laid-back musical documentary featuring the lead guitarist and singer for the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, and his friend, mandolin virtuoso, David Grisman. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesTheir music together is certainly pleasant enough, but, unless you're a fan of bluegrass, you may find it as sleep inducing as I did. |
| Toronto StarGeoff PevereIf you hadn't guessed already, this is a movie about the deep-reaching allure of roots music. However, the very fact that it's about the roots music performed by these two unlikely collaborators makes it something more. |
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarMs. Grisman strips away everything but music and friendship, and that proves to be quite enough. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMiss Jerry !!! Still get to see the rest of the band!! Phil and friends etc...Enjoy. |
