This has NOT been released commercially as of 10/09/2006... It was planned for release in 2005 but I
think when Chet Helms died it has been tied up in probate.

Audio Source: A SBD was used for the 3 GD songs. For the remainder, I used the previous
circulating (PBS) Pro Shot DVD of the mono recording then heavy editing using Cool Edit Pro adding (among
other things) a simulated stereo effect. Other then the 3 Dead songs, the remainder does not sound great.
IMHO however, it sounds better then the original mono recording and overall very enjoyable!

Video Source: Circulating PRO SHOT (PBS) DVD: The entire video IMHO is in near perfect quality considering
it is a 1970 recording!

One of many reviews (see the "gd1970-02-04_reviews.txt" file for more):
In the late 1960s, the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco, California, was a countercultural mecca
whose ragtag assemblage of hippies, artists, writers, musicians, and other like-minded bohemians nurtured
a stellar music scene that produced some of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Filmed at San Francisco's legendary Family Dog Ballroom on February 4th 1970, "A NIGHT AT THE FAMILY DOG"
is an amazing document of the entire Haight-Ashbury scene distilled into one incredible night of
performances from three of the era's most definitive bands: Santana, the Grateful Dead, and Jefferson
Airplane. Produced by poet and jazz critic Ralph J. Gleason as part of a documentary series for the
National Educational Television Network, the concert film boasts two songs by Santana, three by the
Grateful Dead - featuring original member Ron "Pig Pen" McKernan on "Hard To Handle", two by Jefferson
Airplane, and an all-star jam with members of all three bands for an exuberant testament to one of the
most exciting yet ephemeral moments in rock history!!!
