  • Starring: David Grisman, Jerry Garcia
  • Summary: The deeply rooted musical friendship between Jerry Garcia and David Grisman is exquisitely detailed in this musical documentary, which includes live Garcia/Grisman performances as well as rare and unique personal moments from the studio, backstage and home-style jam sessions.

Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 12 out of 18
  2. Negative: 0 out of 18
  1. Quite simply a treat for the ear.
  2. Think of this movie as a glorified home video rather than a bitingly insightful documentary. But for Garcia and Grisman, this soft-shoe approach couldn't be more appropriate.
  3. It's to be expected that the music is going to be wonderful, and it is. But there is more to this film, a surprising amount more.
  4. Reviewed by: Geoffrey Gray

    It's like an 80-minute flip through the Grisman family photo album -- complete with live, unreleased soundtrack.
