3.0 out of 5 starsSad
By SLC Library Boy on August 11, 2005
Format: DVD
The final tour of the Grateful Dead was fated in many ways. It was a dark tour that forshadowed The End. This documentary accurately captures that mood of the final tour. There were some great moments, but overall, it was very sad because it focuses on probably the most negative period of the Dead's 30 year trip. The movie left me depressed. Personally, I'm glad I saw it but would rather spend my time watching some of the better moments of the Dead, like the new Grateful Dead Movie DVD that has some amazing bonus song footage. Many of us like to celebrate the Dead and the final tour does not have much for us to celebrate. On the other hand, it accurately follows what has become history and there are many great moments. My favorite part was the bonus footage of the Jerry Garcia Memorial Service. That, alone, makes this a worthy purchase for a Deadhead. But if you are unfamiliar with the Grateful Dead, this is not a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right" - Robert Hunter
By Mark Dugan on August 22, 2005
Format: DVD
The summer tour that this film captures was filled with many problems. I saw shows during this tour and unfortunately, there were harmful elements that I witnessed that had encroached into the community that followed the Grateful Dead. I commend the filmmaker for showing an honest perspective without sanitizing the negatives. I appreciated that the film also avoided sensationalizing events such as when unruly fans crashed through the fence at Deer Creek Amphitheatre. This could have been easily exploited with a drawn out examination for dramatic effect but instead it lasted less than two minutes. In the next scene, the film presents a very inspiring sequence where older Deadheads take accountability for not properly educating the new generation of fans. The determination of those interviewed to confront the problems on tour was very uplifting. Tragically, their vision was never realized as life following the Grateful Dead ended with Jerry's untimely death. Without a doubt, the closing scenes of fans gathered to celebrate Jerry's life makes this film worth purchasing. I highly recommend this film not only for Deadheads but more importantly for younger fans who have adopted the nomadic lifestyle of following the next generation of bands. There are lessons in this film to be learned, gathered and passed on.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe good, the bad and the ugly
By Chet Fakir on March 18, 2011
Format: DVD
Unfortunately there is very little good and a whole lot of bad and a freaking raft of ugly. This documentary concerns itself with the Deadheads only, and then only the most road damaged tour rats at that. Little of the band, in fact none of the band or its music is shown or played, instead you are treated to a walk through the wilderness of Shakedown Street, ie the vendor, hard core tour parasite, parking lot scene and it is not pretty. Call it an adventure in extreme hippiedom if you will, if rambling, loaded halfwits could be considered hippies. This is the dark side of the counterculture, the self serving and drug addled side. The living in the park with no money side. Most of these folks interviewed seem to be there for the party and not the music. This is not complete story of the Grateful Dead fans and the scene, rather it is a depressing view of the dregs of the worst tour of the Dead's worst year: 1995. We see the deterioration of the scene, the gate crashing at Deer Creek, the righteous indignation of some older deadheads and a lot of chaos. The movie ends on the very sad note of Jerry's memorial at Golden Gate Park where Bill, Mickey, Bobby and Phil give short eulogies for their fallen comrade coupled with some more interviews with fans. Many of these interviews are quite moving, and articulate, for example Merl Saunders' interview is touching and the interview with a young man whose face is obscured by his hat and monstrous beard is a thoughtful reflection on some of the best of the Deadhead culture. Other interviews touch on the sense of loss at Jerry's death and the changed nature of the Grateful Dead fan base. I suppose this section was for me the highlight. Or low light cause its really a bummer.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsIf you absolutely have to 'relive' the 1995 lot scene, or wonder what it looked like...
By Stephen C. Urbauer on January 9, 2006
Format: DVD
This video may be worth renting, once. I saw shows on the 1995 summer tour, and it was just sad. Their were very few positive things happening, and SO MANY bad things happening. If you REALLY need to see that, watch this video. (If you're looking for Band Shots/Concert Footage - don't bother.) Don't expect much in the way of cinematography. This is NOT a high-quality Montery Video release. This is someone who had alot of parking lot video cam footage cashing in on it.

5.0 out of 5 starsA true Grateful Dead experience
By MagickRick on November 20, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I wasn't sure How I would respond to this dvd, knowing that the reviews had stated that it was a sad show, Agreed However, If you truly are a Dead Head This is a must have for your collection!! Can't complain, it arrived within days of purchasing and The Quality was just like new!! The sound is good, and the insight of the fans of the last show, really makes you feel the loss of Jerry,, The Music, The Man, The Legendary Grateful Dead,, If you Follow Furthur, or Dark Star Orchestra, This is a must have to complete the journey and follow in the footsteps, of The Grateful Dead!!!!

2.0 out of 5 starsOne percent... maybe, of the real scene
By Phyllis Gaebel on November 21, 2009
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Did I miss something? Why such a narrowly focused, superficial and mostly negative portrayal of deadheads? I think the producers of this dvd, missed the boat "The End of Road" tour didn't begin to capture what was the dominant, the most valuable and enduring scene and essence of the long journey for the band and the multitudes of deadheads. Yes, there were drugs, used and abused... and things got out of hand.. . especially in 1995, but, and it's a big BUT...

In general, if that's what one thinks of, when mention of the "dead" surfaces, then, you have missed the true essence, the singularly unique experience, the synchroncity, the powerful, often magical, energy interchange. You have categorically forgotten the "message," and indeed, there was a message, many messages, all good, which, as Robert Hunter and Jerry said: is to learn, and love and grow."

You have undervalued the more deeply, inherent, expressed and experienced love and loyalty, and the unrestrained joy and sadness, which often surprisingly, surfaced. You have ignored the amazing tolerance which nurtured an invaluable trust, a trust that vanished away fear..and paved the way for a life time opportunity presented to walk your talk ...

You have failed to capture the energy connection, primed, infused , elaborated and funneled by the music and the "scene" thus fostered. In sum, you have left out the deeply and enduring personal and spiritual significance which will continue to ripple forth.

Can that be captured in a documentary? I for one, would like to see such an attempt to capture that esssence and meaning in its true form as played out over time. Somehow, I don't believe any documentary could do it justice; words and video help, but finally, that phrase, so common to deadheads, is very true: "you had to be there."

And by the way... that was not the "end of the road" tour... merely one arc of a much, much larger circle and cycle.
