The first shot of this concert tips off Grateful Dead fans they're in for a treat: Jerry Garcia sports a T-shirt not in his trademark black, but in navy blue--an unmistakable light, festive touch. It's an apt omen; the concert, recorded on June 14, 1991, in RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C., crackles with energy. Highlights include a rousing "Big River" and some blistering jams on several songs from the underrated Blues for Allah album, including "The Music Never Stopped" and "Help on the Way/Slipknot." Guitarist Garcia, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, and bassist Phil Lesh hit their stride by the second set, joined by keyboardist Bruce Hornsby, whose jazzy melodic additions provide sparkle. The camera work is rocky at best--the picture seems about eight beats behind whoever is playing lead--but as an intimate home movie of live Dead, with terrific sound, it's sure to see many repeat viewings. --Anne Hurley

Additional Features
The first set on the DVD includes two rough-around-the-edges songs not available on the VHS version, "Wang Dang Doodle" and "Jack-a-Roe." Drummer Bill Kreutzmann's son Justin directed an additional video, "Liberty," using rarely seen archival photos of the band. The real gem, though, is footage from a July 12, 1990, show, also at RFK, with a long, seamless jam of "Box of Rain," "Victim or the Crime," "Foolish Heart," and "Dark Star." --Anne Hurley
