Grateful Dead : ” The Closing of Winterland ” – New Years Eve 1978!!! The Two (2) DVD Special Edition Set! 25th Anniversary GDP release! 2003 (1978/2003) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. (GDP) : Brand New / Factory Sealed! +++ Grateful Dead : New Year’s Eves at Winterland!!! 1970 through 1977 – Grateful Dead’ Live’ on New Years Eves! At the Winterland Arena – in San Francisco, California (CA)! Grateful Dead New Years Eve Video (DVD) Ever!!!!!! Set released by GDP in 2003!!! Brand New & Factory-Sealed!! Special Edition 2-DVD Set!!! Fellow Grateful Dead Fans!!! Yes, I said it & will stick with it. This is the Absolute Very-Best! Grateful Dead New Year’s Eve Video (DVD) I have ever seen. It is digitally remastered (Audio / Video) beyond belief, and the Bonus Features (DVD-2) are absolutely incredible. There aren’t a lot of options to date for G. New Year’s Eve Videos, but depending on what the future of the G. Video Vault holds — I’m inclined to believe that my claim of this as # 1 will still hold strong. 12/31/82 – 12/31/85 – 12/31/87 are other top-candidates that have brought fans plenty of joy over the years as well – but not quite like this. The emotional part about this performance is that it marked the Grateful Dead wishing a Musical’ Farewell’ to the Winterland Arena which they had graced with consistency dating back to 1966! ? ! But the neat part about this show is that Bill Graham himself negotiated Live radio & T. Broadcasts of this wonderful performance in the Bay Area, so the show was broadcast on KSAN (Radio) & also Very Thankfully! On KQED Public Television. Since this was achieved, I’m certain it is the main (and maybe only) reason that we are treated to A +++ Pro-shot video footage of this Amazing! Another thing that was so special in the constant evolution of the Grateful Dead was the fact that this night in a lot of ways appeared to be the ” Happy / Celebration ” portion of the inevitable farewell to both Keith & Donna Godchaux. They were no longer in the band following the February’79 Oakland shows, and by the Spring Tour (4/22/79), Brent Mydland had joined the Band following his successful roles in both Silver & Bobby & The Midnites. This was indeed an ending of a Wonderful-Era for the Band & the Fans, and on this night they celebrate like there is no tomorrow. But actually, there was’ also’ a ” Tomorrow ” during this show because B. Served Breakfast at Dawn! For the Loyal Deadhead Faithful. Rumor has it that folks were leaving the Winterland right around 9-ish or 10-ish in the morning – so that marks a great night in itself. Sure wish I was there, but this incredible Special Edition! 2-DVD Set is a Very-Very-Fine! Recreation’ – and it almost makes me feel like I was… &’ Auld Lang Syne’!!!! Grateful Dead’ Live’ at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco, California (CA) on 12/31/1978 : New Year’s Eve 1978 – 1979.
