West 57th (CBS) 1985 (8:54) Very entertaining report on the Grateful Dead 20th anniversary shot at the Ventura County Fairgrounds. This one really captures the concert experience. Lots of dancing, drugs, and Deadheads. The shots of the band on stage are really fine...palm trees in the background. Of all the TV specials for my parents to see what the Dead was about, I'm sorry they saw this one. Too much information! 2-3. KGO TV News (S.F.) 5-85 (2:23) A couple of quick reports about the San Francisco visit by the Gyuto Monks from Tibet. Interview with Mickey Hart. 4-6. KGO TV News (S.F.) 6-85 (9:09) To mark the 20th anniversary of Grateful Dead, KGO TV ran a three-part series on it's local newscast. Lots of very familiar footage, some New Year's Eve '84, Chinese New Year '85, Frost Ampitheater '85 and on the final report some footage from earlier in the evening at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. Interview clips with Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Graham, David Gans and others. Early in this series they mention Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, while the shot is actually Phil Lesh from the famous film by Robert Nelson.

These shows were recorded by me on a betamax machine.
Commercials were edited out using the pause button.
After 22 years, the tape has degraded to the point where
I let it roll from the master to my DVD burner without
pausing to create seperate files. The third program -
"Pacific Currents" was particularly problematic. Dropouts,
tracking issues were overcome by re-burning the footage over
and over until a useable version was achieved. I spent hours
trying to get it right. This DVD is a historical document.
The sound is muddy, as my betamax was on it's last legs at the
time, especially with regard to the audio head.

In early May 1985, The Grateful Dead approached their 20th
Anniversary. The media was all over them, both locally in
the Bay Area, and on national television programs "Entertainment
Tonight" (a two-part feature) and West 57th on CBS. Many of the
standard over-used clips are used here, but the interviews are
very interesting, as is the footage from New Years 12-31-84,
Nassau Coliseum in March '85, and Frost Ampitheatre from a week
or two prior to the broadcast. There is even a short, but excellent
clip of Bobby singing "Throwing Stones" from the Julia Morgan Theater
in Berkeley on 5-5-85. The one huge error I made when recording was
cutting Jerry's closing comment at the end of ET - "Stick around
for another twenty years!"
