Ghost Tree. Insiders who pioneered Ghost Tree reveal the dynamics of the infamous location. SURFING MAGAZINE proclaims, ''LIVE' dances through each decade and shows why surfing and music go together like Shaun Tomson and tubes. You'll be strumming your six string and waxing up before the credits.' THE SURFER'S PATH describes, 'LIVE has so many pluses... the far-ranging soundtrack, the era-spanning footage... Overall, an original and well-played groove that's a real pleasure both to watch and listen to.'
