The Grateful Dead Movie - Wikipedia. The Grateful Dead Movie, released in 1. Jerry Garcia, is a film that captures live performances from rock band the Grateful Dead during an October 1. Winterland in San Francisco. Great Barrier Reef 2015 Tv Series. These concerts marked the beginning of a hiatus, with the October 2. The Last One". The band would return to touring in 1.

The film features the "Wall of Sound" concert sound system that the Dead used for all of 1. The movie also portrays the burgeoning Deadhead scene. Two albums have been released in conjunction with the film and the concert run: Steal Your Face and The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack. Documenting the Grateful Dead experience[edit]"There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert" was a fan epithet, coined by Dead family member and building manager Willy Legate.[1] In performance, the Dead emphasized musical improvisation and jamming, varying their set lists nightly. To Deadheads, their music was best appreciated in person, at live concerts. Furthermore, Dead shows were known for their positive, exuberant and celebratory atmosphere as the band and the audience interacted, fostering a special environment of musical celebration. Capturing this phenomenon on film was the paradoxical goal of The Grateful Dead Movie.

To document the Grateful Dead experience, the film showcases the fans more than was usual in a concert movie at the time. They are shown enjoying the show, discussing the music and the band, and what it was like to be a Deadhead in the mid- 1. The film also includes interviews with members of the Dead and vintage footage from their colorful history and early days in the band. The film opens with a uniquely Grateful Dead animated sequence, featuring the "Uncle Sam skeleton".

The psychedelic animation was created by Gary Gutierrez, using techniques that he developed specifically for the project.[2]The Concerts[edit]By 1. Jerry Garcia wanted to stop touring and take a break from performing with the Grateful Dead. Before beginning a hiatus of uncertain length, a five- show farewell run was set for October 1. Winterland in San Francisco. An idea developed to film the shows and then send the movie out on tour as a substitute. The Band would film their farewell concert at the same venue two years later.) Manager Ron Rakow also sold the idea for a soundtrack album to United Artists Records.

At the beginning of the second set of the final show on October 2. Mickey Hart joined the band on stage as a second drummer.

Hart had been a member of the Dead from September 1. February 1. 97. 1. This appearance would lead to his permanent return to the band, in 1. At various times during these shows, the band was joined by frequent guest keyboardist Ned Lagin. In contrast to Keith Godchaux (a traditionalist who favored acoustic grand pianos and the Fender Rhodes), Lagin's array of instruments included a Rhodes, the ARP Odyssey and an Interdata 7. E- mu Systems modular polyphonic synthesizer; technology in the latter instrument would eventually be licensed and appropriated for the Oberheim polyphonic synthesizer (1.

Sequential Circuits Prophet- 5 (1. Due to myriad recording and mixing problems that plagued the engagement, many of his parts were not recorded; this was exacerbated by his preference for playing through the powerful vocal system (considered to be "the best part of the entire Wall of Sound PA"), often resulting in the group's sound crew neglecting to switch between his quadrophonic input and the vocal input during long sequences.[3] Additionally, as many as two channels of his input would still be lost in the mix when the system was working properly.[4] In the film, Lagin is only briefly seen in silhouette during "Morning Dew" and "Johnny B. Goode", fulfilling a request he made to Jerry Garcia after estranging himself from the Grateful Dead in 1. With filmmaker Leon Gast directing, the concert footage was shot on six film cameras and the audio recorded on two 1. Gast remembered "They were at a point where they were ready to break up. What Jerry and Ron Rakow wanted to do was shoot a full Grateful Dead performance, from beginning to end.

It was going to be five nights at the Winterland and they said, 'Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. There will be one night when it will be magic.' I liked the Dead, but I wasn’t a Deadhead. I wasn’t sure I even knew what they were talking about .. At one point we were going to call it The Grateful Dead: Warts and All, but that’s not what happened. It became a movie about a series of concerts and the crew and the Deadheads. We agreed that this should be about the Grateful Dead experience."[5]Production[edit]When it became apparent that Garcia wanted to oversee all aspects of post- production, Gast excused himself from the project.[6] Though unfamiliar with the band, Susan Crutcher was hired as an additional film editor (with Emily Craig as an assistant).

Crutcher said "When I came on they had about 1. That alone took five months.

What [Gast] did was introduce the television concept of [multiple cameras for complete coverage], which was quite new then. He was hip enough to know about SMPTE timecode, which was a video thing. So we were one of the first movies that ever tried to interface SMPTE timecode and film. It really was kind of the crest of the wave."[7]Garcia worked on the editing, assembly and synchronization for nearly three years. Those that knew the guitarist at the time say he was consumed by the completion of the project and highly stressed. Garcia called the process "two years of incredible doubt, crisis after crisis."[8] Bassist Phil Lesh explained "I don’t think Jer had any idea at the beginning how much mind- numbing repetitive detail he would have to wade through just to storyboard the film’s structure; the editing ended up taking more than two years, in the process scarfing down hundreds of thousands of dollars we didn’t have."[9]The opening animation sequence cost approximately as much as the rest of the movie, which together brought the Grateful Dead organization to the brink of bankruptcy, threatening the band's own record label and requiring the accumulation of more debt. To cover costs the band took out loans, signed a distribution deal with United Artist Records and self- released a string of albums: Robert Hunter's Tiger Rose; Garcia's Reflections; the Godchaux's Keith & Donna; Lesh & Lagin's Seastones; Old and in the Way (David Grisman and Peter Rowan's bluegrass band with Garcia); and the Dead's Blues for Allah and Steal Your Face.[1.

Rather than make dozens of prints of the film and distribute it through normal outlets, the movie was toured city- to- city, to control quality. According to Lesh, "Wishing to present the movie as a concert experience, Jerry enlisted one of our concert promoters to rent theaters (a process called “four- walling”) and bring in special sound systems to enhance the sound quality. This was before the era of universal multitrack movie sound)."[1. Every college dorm in America had at least one kid on every hall with a VHS copy on his shelf." – Bill Kreutzmann[1. The movie was premiered June 1, 1. Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. After an initial multi- city tour, prints were made and the film occasionally appeared in theaters as a midnight movie.

Because the Grateful Dead had returned to touring by the time the film was released, its original purpose had been lost. Not all band members were fond of the film as the cost and debt were a sticking point, and it didn't represent their current incarnation; by 1. Dead had stopped performing with Ned Lagin, regained their second drummer, built a scaled- down sound system, and were performing two new albums' worth of songs.[1. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann had a more positive reaction, saying "Producing that thing really consumed Jerry’s time, on a day- to- day basis, throughout the hiatus. ..
