_The Grateful Dead Movie_ Returns Tonight

May 5, 2011

Back on April 20, more than 500 theaters nationwide screened The Grateful Dead Movie. The film will return tonight for a special “flashback concert experience.” This version of the movie, originally released in 1977, contains bonus interviews with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir. The Grateful Dead Movie draws from the band’s performances at San Francisco’s Winterland Arena in October 1974, before the Dead’s 20 month touring hiatus. The film will be broadcast throughout the country this evening at 7:30 PM local time, with theater details available online.
