At its best, Grateful Dawg celebrates the easy friendship and truly inspired musicianship of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman through grainy home-movie footage with surprisingly crisp sound. Garcia was famous as the visionary behind the Grateful Dead, but his musical tastes were broad and he found a rewarding partnership with mandolinist Grisman, whose distinctive "Dawg" style fused jazz with bluegrass. As one of the film's commentators says, Grisman made Garcia tighter as a musician, while Garcia made Grisman looser, and where they met they created an infectious, rootsy style they called Grateful Dawg. The film's many highlights include instrumental versions of "Dawg Waltz", "Shady Grove" and "Arabia", as well as splendid footage from Garcia and Grisman's days in Old & In The Way. The talking heads inserted ham-fistedly between and over performances become repetitious and finally downright annoying. But Garcia and Grisman fans will still enjoy the glimpse of a rare musical alchemy. --Anne Hurley
During the summer of 2000 we decided to do some shows with several of the guest musicians who had appeared with us on the Outbound project: Sandip Burman Andy Narell Paul Hanson Paul McCandless & Congar ol'Ondar. These musicians had all played with us individually at various times. But we were intrigued at the prospect of seeing where it might go. And it was a really exciting tour. So exciting in fact that when the opportunity came up several months later to make this live album DVD & home video of the band The Flecktones unanimously agreed that we should do it with the ""Big Band."" It seemed like the best way to offer something new and unusual to our listeners. Enjoy Bela Fleck. Songs: 1. Intro 2. Earth Jam 3. Lover's Leap 4. Zona Mona 5. Ovombo Summit 7. Scratch & Sniff 8.
