Due out on May 12th will be a new two-DVD package featuring classic performances from the leaders of rock's legendary San Francisco scene. The collection includes A Night At The Family Dog, a DVD taped in September 1970 featuring vintage performances by the Grateful Dead, Santana, and the Jefferson Airplane.
The hour-long disc features highlights from each band's set, including Santana's “Incident At Neshabur” and “Soul Sacrifice”; the Dead's “Hard To Handle,” “China Cat Sunflower,” and “I Know You Rider”; and the Airplane's “The Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil” and “Eskimo Blue Day.”
The concert, taped at the legendary San Francisco venue, was originally broadcast in 1971 on the National Educational Television Network, and culminates in a jam session featuring all three bands, as well as members of Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Steve Miller Band.
