Grateful Dead: Anthem to Beauty Grateful Dead: Ticket to New Year's Grateful Dead: View From the Vault
Anyone seen those before? Are they any good? I am thinking of buying them from a friend thousands of miles away.
Input appreciated!

ummm if the Ticket to New Year's is the New Year's Winterland DVD, then I'd recommend it... lots of bonus footage and stuff.
View from the Vault I've heard is good...
I think that they are mostly concerts, so if you are a big deadhead and would find it fun to sit and watch a concert of the Dead, then they should all be good.

Ticket to NYE is from 85 or 87, it's alright, nothing as good as the Winterland DVD or the GD movie. Unless they were cheap I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for them.
View From the Vaults have never impressed me.

Anthem to Beauty is an excellent documentary about the making of Anthem of the Sun and American Beauty albums. I highly recommend it. Ticket to New Years is pretty good. I remember a lot of crazy antics like at set break and stuff that was very entertaining. I remember Billy being all crazy. I can't remember how good the show is really but it's a DVD worth having. View From the Vaults are okay but nothing special. There are 3 volumes I think so far. They're mostly average shows from around 1990.

I'm going to buy the movies the merry pranksters were shooting in the book, The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test... I'm sure you get to see the dead in that movie. In any case the movie is shot in the 60's by alot of acidheads and a speed freak of a driver, Cassidy!
I'm thinking that movie will give a good feeling of what the acid movement was like in the 60's and I know garcia and the dead were mentioned many times in that book, so I'm guessing that movie could be of some interest.
