interesting, though i think it is a promo disk as there is no unreleased material. AllMusic Review by Lindsay Planer This limited-edition two-disc set was available as a promotional premium in conjunction with the sale of the Golden Road (1965-1973) box set. The offer was extended exclusively through the Grateful Dead's online and mail-order merchandising organization. The days of free-form or underground FM radio are revisited during this two-hour music and interview Grateful Dead Documentary, which originally aired June 8, 1969, on San Francisco's KSAN-FM. The program is co-hosted by Michael Wanger and Vance Frost, who began producing a weekly series of radio documentaries for Stanford University's KZSU-FM in 1968. With the guidance and support of KSAN-FM's program director -- the legendary Tom Donahue -- Wanger and Frost began the six-month process involved in producing this brilliantly executed time capsule of the Grateful Dead's history up through the end of 1968. Not only did the entire band (sans Ronald "Pigpen" McKernan) contribute by revealing an artistic sensitivity rarely captured in their print interviews, they are also open to discussing their immediate artistic concerns regarding their music, their record company, and most tellingly, each other as musicians. The mutual admiration extends into their immediate circle of psychedelic Bay Area contemporaries as well. Interviewees include John Cipollina and David Freiberg from the Quicksilver Messenger Service, as well as Paul Kantner and Spencer Dryden from Jefferson Airplane. Their appreciation is perhaps the most profound, providing unique observations of what appeals to them about the Grateful Dead not only as performers, but most importantly as constituents and friends. Due to the vintage nature of this documentary, vinyl sources were originally all that was available for use. Normally, surface noise and the revealed limitations of the medium on CD would diminish the listening experience. This is the rare exception as the superior mixes used on those initial pressings have yet to be replicated in the digital domain. Notable among these is "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" and the brilliant 45 mix of "Dark Star." Also listen for a special hidden bonus performance.

"I'm Pole-guy!""I'm Pole-guy!" so, the DEA placed 6000 hippies atop poles along the Appian Way, making them listen to the Carpenters for three straight days.

I agree Fallout From the Phil Zone interview is a promotional disc, it's a very cool one !! One more not sure if it's promo or bonus, I would guess bonus. I believe this 2-CD set came with the Golden Road Box set. Titled "Grateful Dead Documentary" interviews from 1968. Almost positive it was released with this massive studio album box set. I never did get the Beyond Description box set, although person I know who has since passed, they had it and enjoyed the heck out of it, and we listened together

Sunshine Daydream - Absolutely one of the finest releases. Perhaps my favorite Playin' in the Band... Can't be sure, but it is surely up there near the top! Shout out to Pole-guy! We all know what you were doing 46 years ago today! Rock on, Pole-guy! Peace

that is a promotional disk, i guess because it has no music, just interview. Fallout From The Phil Zone Interview Disc 1997 Arista ASCD-3392 Promotional disc released to coincide with the release of Fallout From The Phil Zone.

Interesting looking at those lists of bonus discs. Having said I didn't realise that the Road Trips series had bonus discs, I have had a look at my collection, and....I've actually got most of them. For me, Gratefulhans comment is very true-these discs are so essential to the main release, and looked so similar in their brown cardboard sleeve, that I hadn't actually seen them as bonus discs at all-just a third or fourth disc. I agree also-there is some fantastic music on these releases. The worst thing was the covers. So tightly packed I sometimes needed a knife to cut them out-and then I never returned them-which could be another reason I missed the fact that some are bonus discs-mine are all now in anonymous clear Perspex cases. Thinking of shows that are presented in cut up form-Dicks Picks 31, 4th and 5th and 6th August 1974, is a bit of a chore to get your head round. The music-amazing-but what song comes form what show isn't always that easy to work out. Not for me, anyway!
