Comment by LawnBoy-4 from Denver (1/6/1999):

A fine, if not terribly refined, documentary which follows the life and times of the Dead Heads. The beauty lies in the fact that it is such a raw film and not a commercialized hype-fest. To depict DeadHeads as anything other than real would be an injustice.

This is a film for anyone who has followed the Dead, who likes the Dead\'s music, or who just does not understand the whole phenomenon. It is quite informative to the uninitiated and should be viewed with an open mind.

Initially, this film was licensed by the Grateful Dead but, inexplicably, said licensing was denied at the last minute. As such, do not expect to see any members of the Dead, nor hear any of their music on the soundtrack. However, a fine soundtrack is provided by the more-than-capable Solar Circus.
