The Grateful Dead - Downhill From Here

Rating:
Summary: Yawn......
Review: I had this CD and sold it back to the used CD store. It's NOT bad, it's just, well, so-so. The Dead had begun their slow decline by this time and this CD reflects it. The setting is beautiful and some songs rise to the band's high standards, but overall this CD is aptly titled because, as much as I loved the band, after the late '80s it was ALL downhill from there...

Summary: where are the 70's?
Review: I love the Dead. I saw 50 or 60 shows and I would walk the length of this continent if they asked me to for what Jerry Garcia and their music has done for me in my life. But my question is when can we see some video from the golden years of the early 70's or late 60's? I know they have to have some? At least enough for one dvd !!!! I camped at Alpine Valley many times, and I'm sorry but these are not their best moments by a long shot. However, this is still great stuff from the best band to tour this land and bring us so much graet music. Now can I have some gritty stuff from the vault please???

Summary: I was there and will never forget it.
Review: I was at this show. Excellent video. I agree that they could have shown more audience but the only thing that it lacks is during the song Standing On The Moon, there was a full moon just above the pavillion and it still gives me chills thinking about it. I think it would have been the cats meow if it could have made it into the video. But nonetheless, it is superb and a must. Any show at Alpine Valley is a must. Best China---->Rider I ever seen or heard. Jerry was hot this day and to be honest, it was downhill from this show. With one exception. Wish there was a video of the first time they played Soldier Field in Chicago. But was it ever the same without Brent?

Review: I was there, it actually made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It was by far one of the best shows that I ever seen. Now I can see it again and again and again and again and again. The first time was just a BLUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Pleasantly Suprised
Review: My expectations were not extremely high, even after reading the customer reviews. I guess my expectations have been supressed by the quality of the bootlegs and radio deadhead hours that I've listed to. I mean, nothing will compare to being at a Dead show right? Wrong! I have to say the quality of the filming, sound, and performance on this DVD exceeded my expectations 10 fold. I forsee nothing else in my DVD player for weeks to come.

Summary: GD @ PEAK preformance!
Review: One of the best shows ever, Jerry is Standing straight and smiling. Bobby is not show-boating and everyone is having GRATEFUL time! I wonder how many more grat preformances such as this are archived, just waiting to be released. It is sad that HE IS GONE! but their fans will --NOT FADE AWAY--. Get ready for a journey that will take you to center stage. Grateful Dead Downhill From Here is hot and you won't have to worry about interuuptions by any gate crashers. ENJOY

Summary: A Band Beyond Description
Review: Quite simply the best Dead DVD on the market. Jerry is as energetic as I've ever seen him-- even playful at times. This show in 1989 represents a revival of sorts for the Dead. Though many point to the early and late 70's as the classic era of the Dead, and rightfully so, this show is as good as any I've heard from that era. First set is solid. Excellent 'Cat to Rider' kicks off the second set. 'The Wheel' is also a homerun. My only complaint is the the encore of Johnny B Good. But all things considered, this disc is a must have for any deadhead.
