TIE-DIED: ROCK N' ROLL'S MOST DEADICATED FANS (1995)
About this Event
7th House and Blues for Sallah present:
For sixty years, the Grateful Dead have cast a strange and enduring spell, creating not just a vast songbook—shapeshifting through thousands of live performances and recordings—but a distinctly American tribe: a sprawling yet close-knit community drawn together by exploration, adventure, and the possibility of creating a world of their own outside the norms and constrictions of everyday life, united by the mystical power of music. Through the original band and its many later incarnations, Deadheads have carried that spirit across the country, following the music wherever it leads and forming bands, scenes, gatherings, and traditions of their own. As part of 7th House's SEE•SOUND series and in observance of the Days Between, the stretch from Jerry Garcia’s birthday on August 1 to his passing on August 9, DEAD DAY is a daylong celebration of the Grateful Dead and the enduring community that continues to carry their music and spirit forward.
The day includes a very rare screening of Tie-Died: Rock ’n Roll’s Most Deadicated Fans (1995), co-presented by Hollywood Entertainment—preceded by a Dead Vid Mix packed with classic clips and performances; the “Shakedown on Los Feliz Blvd” lot market presented by Blues for Sallah; plus food, bar, DJs, and special surprises. It all culminates with a screening of the new film Summer Tour, followed by a will-be-legendary live performance from revered and beloved hometown heroes Richard Pictures. Join us for a celebration of a community that keeps growing, where the Dead’s spirit keeps moving and the music never stopped.

DEAD VID MIX + TIE DIED: ROCK N' ROLL'S MOST DEADICATED FANS
presented by Hollywood Entertainment
2:00pm Opening Act: DEAD VID MIX — a lovingly handpicked mix of classic Grateful Dead clips and performances — will screen before the film. Come early! Feature presentation begins at 3:30pm.
As the kick off to their daylong Dead Day celebration, part of 7th House's annual SEE•SOUND series, Hollywood Entertainment presents an incredibly rare screening of Andrew Behar’s TIE-DIED: ROCK N’ ROLL’S MOST DEADICATED FANS (1995), followed by a prerecorded Q&A with director Andrew Behar and Relix Magazine publisher Peter Shapiro and preceded by Peter Shapiro’s short documentary A Conversation with Ken Kesey.
The parking lot scene had changed drastically since the 1987 “Touch of Grey” music video was playing alongside Madonna and Michael Jackson videos on MTV. The surprise hit exposed the band to their biggest audience yet, but at the cost of over-saturating and overloading the lot. Peace and love was being flooded with violence, chaos, and hard drugs. People whose lives were determined by tour dates before the “Touch” boom were at a crossroads. Was it worth it to continue this cycle when the experience they once knew was crumbling with each show?
Heads who got on the proverbial “bus” for the ´94 yearly summer tour were blissfully unaware that their roving concrete utopia would soon come to a screeching halt. Jerry Garcia’s passing in the summer of 1995 was shocking and with their pied piper gone, Deadheads faced the imminent reality of real world re-entry.
Andrew Behar’s “Tie Died: Rock ‘n Roll’s Most Dedicated Fans” captures a final moment for parking lot culture during the Dead’s original run. Behar’s documentary reveals an aspect of the Dead that doesn’t focus on the music, but on everything else surrounding the culture. Poncho-clothed teens with deadlocks, child scammers, and true believers seeing apparitions of angels on tour are among the characters found in the primordial pool of the lot. Everyone on tour is looking for something to fill a void in their life, but in order to find it, you just got to poke around…
Dir. Andrew Behar, 1995, 80 mins, United States, English, Rated R, Digital.

ABOUT HOLLYWOOD ENTERTAINMENT
“We created Hollywood Entertainment to entertain and educate filmgoers by screening and preserving eclectic, underseen, non-commercial, rare, and socially beneficial films and film-related artifacts.
In April 2020, we started near-daily themed streams (then called Moviepassed) to entertain each other and our friends while raising money for embattled causes in the arts and our communities. As we grew we were able to raise money for charities, mutual aids, arts organizations, and more through raffles and film-themed fundraisers.
Our evolution into Hollywood Entertainment and our 501(c)(3) status reflects our ambitions to screen adventurous programs and create fun, exciting, and thought-provoking events that push the boundaries of repertory cinema in Los Angeles and worldwide.”
