Description
Starring: The Grateful Dead Directed By: Len Dell'Amico Description: Rich Stadium, Orchard Park, N.Y. July 4, 1989 The entire band is in peak musical form, making "Grateful Dead: Truckin' Up To Buffalo" one of the very best concerts. Arguably considered to be the Grateful Dead's best tour of their last 15 years of touring, this complete concert at Buffalo's Rich Stadium on July 4, 1989, features the quintessential Fourth of July song, "U.S. Blues."

 GD Best in Show of the live DVD's January 28, 2007

I "got on the bus" on the 12/31/82 show, and in my opinion, if you want to know what the fuss was all about with this band you should pick up this DVD and the "Dozin' at the Knick" CD. The stages of the Grateful Dead can best be measured by the tenure of the keyboard players, giving Brent two periods (early and late). "Late Brent" is defined as the period where he was given a chance to lead once or twice a show, as opposed to "Early Brent" where it was more like once or twice a month. "Late Brent" is where the Dead finally got it all together as a professional act, and you get the benefit of all that in this DVD:
+ Equipment and sound at the show is clean, bugfree, and solid
+ Camera and recording chops are practiced and at their best
+ This particular DVD comes at a point in the technology where they've figured that out too. 5.1 sound is clean and strong... Phil (bass) is ALL THERE and the "rain" sound effects during "Looks Like Rain" come from behind you!
For various Deadhead reasons, I prefer this show over all the other commercial releases. Jerry's voice is not entirely up to snuff, but his playing is, and this is basically my kinda show. Touches like:
+ Jerry plays slide, as well as the Tiger guitar all show.
+ Brent sings a verse in "Women Smarter." Smokes on the keys too.
+ "Deal" starts easy and comfy, then raises to a smokin' blaze. All JG.
+ I still get a rush out of Brent's keyboards on "Touch of Grey." That song was going nowhere until Jerry let Brent put the finishing touches on, making it their only bonafide top 40 hit.
+ Let's face it... this show is close to an ideal non-rarities setlist for me. IWTYH->Watchtower->Dew->NFA!! Good God! I mean, Not Fade Away is usually as pedestrian as it gets, but in this one Jerry and Brent do a great call-and-response, and Jerry throws his arms up for "My love is bigger than a Cadillac!"

so I own almost every GD DVD released so far; all the Vault releases, GD Movie, Closing of Winterland, etc. And this pretty much puts all the Vault releases to shame in terms of quality and performance. The vid is crystal clear, even better than the Grateful Dead movie in that aspect.
You can tell Jerry is in really good spirits in this one, highlights: The whole second set is awesome my favorite being: Watchtower> Morning Dew> NFA. Looks Like Rain is also great. Jerry shreds it up on Watchtower. The Morning Dew is just magical and there is great interplay between Brent and Jerry on NFA. He's grins through and through on this one.
Actually there is only one complaint in the editing, there are moments when Jerry is really tearing it up and they might cut to someone else just doing routine stuff like Phils baseline or something, its like man I wanna see whats going on over on the guitar!
Truly enjoyable October 16, 2005

I truly enjoyed this concert DVD. Wonderful camera work makes it feel like you're right on stage with the Dead. Other reviews will give you the details of the songs and the place of this show in the spectrum of the Dead's history. I'm here to tell you it's a great concert that's been well recorded. No Clunkers here, just a good ol' Grateful Dead show for your viewing and listening pleasure.
Better than all the vault series!!! July 8, 2005

This is the best recent Dead release.It tops all the vault series.The sound as far as vocals and music,the Boys put out are top notch!!The opener-Bertha screams!The Band is super tight on this magical night.I was at this show and it brings back great memories.Other great highlights a rare and well performed Stagger Lee,a 1st set Looks like rain and a rockin Deal.The 2nd set is stellar, a solid Touch of Grey and a groovin Women R Smarter.The Ship of Fools,Watchtower(smokin)and Morning Dew are my favorites and if you love the Dead I am sure you will agree with me, when you watch and hear this excellent show.The Playing in the Band is a reprise, which if I am not mistaken the full Playing was done in Foxboro,Mass on the 2nd of July.I was at that show as well but that was a long time ago.Anyway I highly recommend this DVD to add to your collection.Great Music, Great Memories!!!

Best Dead DVD release hand down! The whole band is tight and Jerry is smiling and dancing throughout. Standouts for me were Stagger Lee, Touch, and Dew. I Will Take You Home brought a tear to my eye, Very Sweet! You have to own this.Words cannot describe.
