Grateful Dead: Anthem to Beauty

1997
6.6
This installment of the Classic Albums series follows the making of two Grateful Dead albums, the fiercely experimental Anthem of the Sun and the understated masterwork American Beauty, which spawned melodic gems like "Sugar Magnolia" and "Ripple." Between the archival scenes and contemporary interviews with band members, the DVD shows a band making seismic inroads in pop music--and five young guys coming to terms with artistry, mortality, and, yes, the pursuit of happiness. There is priceless footage of Neal Cassady driving Ken Kesey's bus and of the Dead, surrounded by martini-sipping hipsters, on Playboy After Dark. The best scenes involve band members talking about specific songs (you will never hear Phil Lesh's "Box of Rain" again without thinking of it as a gift to his dying father) or deconstructing a tune by playing each track separately. Intimate and surprisingly cohesive, Anthem to Beauty is a rare glimpse into how the Dead's magic was made.

Recorded on tour to support At Last, her album of standards, (hence the DVD's title), this is also the first time the singer's live show has been officially available. Even though she has flown under the radar since her mid-'80s heyday releasing only three albums and an EP of original material from 1990 until this DVD's appearance in 2004, Lauper has stayed active and her vocal chops are as good, if not better than, ever.
