Nothing too earth shattering. Interviews with Donna Jean, Barlow, Steve Parish, Tiff Garcia, Jerry's daughter, Theresa, I believe, and mostly footage from the eighties and nineties. It was kind of a slash and burn type of biography. Not much more one can expect in an hour. It focused mostly on how magnetic, kind, and dynamic Jerry was as a person. Also, how insecure he was - his difficulty with family life - his drug use. There wasn't a lot of information presented about his development as a musician - or about the music he wrote and performed. In fact, behind a few of the still photo sequences the music playing wasn't Garcia or the Dead, but rather, unrelated studio fill. Jimi Hendrix tonight and Neil Young tomorrow - I expect similar treatment of these bios. Tom
