A Night at the Family Dog 1970 (The Grateful Dead / Jefferson Airplane / Santana)
Date undefinedI gave this DVD as a gift, the recipient told me that the concert is awesome. The film quality is excellent. There is a petition to have Chet Helms (August 2, 1942 - June 25, 2005) founder of the Family Dog inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. [...]

Date undefinedThe video is a must have for your collection if you love old classic rock
Santana video and audio excellent. Would have been nice if they had more songs.
Grateful Dead. the camera operator must have been stoned. the first few minutes are on the drummer and the girl dancing. Shots of Jerry Garcia are from the rear. Took too long for the camera to get around to the front of the band.
The Star Airplane excellent
The end with the super jam of all three bands together jamming on stage is a classic. Would have been nice had more songs and was longer.
Best of all NO Interviews, All music.

Date undefinedIf you are into any or all three of these bands, this video is a precious time capsule of each of them in their earliest, and arguably best, incarnations. Filmed in a relatively small SF club, the close ups of the facial expressions and interplay of the band members is exceptional. And for the Deadheads, there's rare Pigpen footage - rocking out on "Hard to Handle." The version of "Ballad of You & Me and Pooneil" is the greatest performance by the Airplane ever caught on film. And of course, Santana, -with his original lineup - is sublime. Don't hesitate on this one.
