This year we celebrate the band's 60th anniversary, as well as recognize the 30th anniversary since frontman Jerry Garcia's death and the first Meet-Up since bassist Phil Lesh passed.
The Grateful Dead Movie is an immersive concert film that captures The Grateful Dead’s five-night run at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in October 1974 - their farewell tour before a temporary hiatus. Blending electrifying live performances with animation, candid backstage footage, and interviews, the film is a cultural time capsule of the Deadhead experience. This beloved film is a fan favorite and will be screened as part of our continued Grateful Dead 'Meet-Up at the Movies' Regular Offering. It is the 12th of the regular Deadhead Meet-Ups in cinemas.
Jerry Garcia, co-founder and face of the band who died in 1995, co-directed the film. Additional content comes in the form of a big screen exclusive theatrical premiere of “China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider” - a bonus live performance from the October ‘74 Winterland shows not included in the official film release.
