Description:
Filmed on location at the Family Dog Ballroom in San Francisco in September, 1970, the show captures the heyday and diversity of the San Francisco sound with three of the most well known bands to emerge from the scene: Santana, who would release their second album at the end of 1970; The Grateful Dead, including original band member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who were making a name for themselves with their jam-filled performances; and Jefferson Airplane, who were at the time the biggest of the bands from the area.
San Francisco was an area of artistic creation during the mid-to-late 60's. Whether it was art, poetry or music, the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco was the place for like-minded individuals to explore and create. Noted jazz columnist Ralph J. Gleason took note of the exploding rock music scene and produced several television specials and documentaries spotlighting the music emerging from San Francisco. A Night At The Family Dog is one part of a two-part series (the other is Go Ride The Music) that aired on The National Educational Television Network in 1970.
The audio for this program has been extrapolated up to Stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes from their original mono source! This show has never sounded or looked so good!

The video is a must have for your collection if you love old classic rock
Santana video and audio excellent. Would have been nice if they had more songs.
Grateful Dead. the camera operator must have been stoned. the first few minutes are on the drummer and the girl dancing. Shots of Jerry Garcia are from the rear. Took too long for the camera to get around to the front of the band.
The Star Airplane excellent
The end with the super jam ... Read More

If you are into any or all three of these bands, this video is a precious time capsule of each of them in their earliest, and arguably best, incarnations. Filmed in a relatively small SF club, the close ups of the facial expressions and interplay of the band members is exceptional. And for the Deadheads, there's rare Pigpen footage - rocking out on "Hard to Handle." The version of "Ballad of You & Me and Pooneil" is the greatest performance by the Airplane ever caught on film. And of course, Santana, ... Read More

I stumbled upon this Public TV one hour special in '70 as a feckless and un-radicalized 14-year old in the midwest. It was a monday night, I think. My parents were in the room. I sat and watched, and my mind was properly blown. I never forgot that bit of programming that came ... and just as quickly, went - Live From The Family Dog. A few years back I noticed it was "out there" ... but not quite ready for release. It was on my watch list in the blink of an eye, and now ... in my collection.

The sound quality is great and the footage is mostly worthy. There's a tad too much footage of dancers and the whole thing leaves you aching for more music, but this is a sound investment if you like any one of the three bands. If you like more than one, you can't go wrong here. The "Super Jam", like most of its class, looks better on paper, but this is a fun musical exploration that doesn't get lost and it's great to see so many classic Bay Area musicians at their peak jamming on stage together.

But it left me wanting more.
I have many other music dvd's, Roger Waters, Yes, ELO,N.Young.G.Dead Etc
All very fulfilling but these 2 song per band tidbit dvd's are in a way annoying allthough still very good.
