Description: 3O years after the Grateful Dead’s celebrated “Farewell Concerts,” the keepers of the vault have gone back to the original theatrical motion picture film negative, restoring it to reflect the original majesty of a truly spectacular event in High Definition widescreen. Originally shot with seven cameras to capture all of the emotion and energy of the original concert, this DVD will celebrate the legend of the Grateful Dead like no other.
The theatrical concert film with animation by famed Gary Gutierrez, starring the Grateful Dead.
It’s an exact portrait of its subject, the Dead’s music and its attendant scene. Though the intense close-ups of Garcia’s hands on the fret board depict the stops and starts and remarkable flow of improvisation perhaps better than any other film, the movie naturally includes the audience and a representation of the Dead experience as a whole. Garcia knew perfectly well that the Dead included the crew, the instruments, the sound system, the Dead Heads, and the guy selling pizza in back. And, he and Crutcher got it all in.
Like most Dead projects, The Grateful Dead Movie was substantially improvised and required massive amounts of really peculiar synchronicity to work—and somehow came out great in the end.
What you’ve ultimately got is Jerry Garcia’s vision of what Dead concerts, at that time and place, were all about.
