Hey, Steve! Thanks so much for this! I remember seeing the Grateful Dead Movie when I was 14 or 15 years old. Besides the fantastic graphics during The Wheel, my favorite part is the end of Going Down the Road Feeling Bad. Brings happy tingles through my bones every time!
The movie means alot to me. I grew up on the Farm hippy commune in Tennessee and one day when i was about 19 ,i was having a bad trip .A friend brought the dead movie to my house and said check this out. It was an amazing trip through the movie,starting with the animation,the biker going down the road,beating it down the line,the wheel. Every part was amazing .
Saw the NYC premiere at the Ziegfeld Theater...then proceeded to go to midnight shows at the Mini Cinema in Uniondale, NY every weekend over the summer...I still watch this movie all the time on DVD! Thanks, Steve! Really, really, really! It's the hippest!😎
Always wondered what happened to the kid who hated the filming - he said "this bit will never end up in the movie" - but it did! Apt demo of Jerry's Genius to include that. Also, in US Blues, when Phil's plumber (red & white pirate shirt guy) is playing air guitar, it cuts to Jerry actually playing guitar w/the same exact pose. Genius!!! A bit of detail I only noticed a few years ago after decades of seeing this movie over & over in all sorts of states of mind: When the space man is playing pinball in space, the skeleton holding the cards is pinging away, seemingly racking up loads of points, but the counter never leaves "000,000" Kind of a statement about the pointlessness of everything.
I love this movie. I just watched it again recently (you can purchase it on UA-cam). We saw it in the theater in LA when it first came out. What a treasure. Again in SF when it was rereleased (20 years ago?). This and Chinatown are my favorite movies of all time. How did you get the fire Marshall to green light the flame thing!
Crazy coincidences I decided to put the GDMovie last night when i was packing to move! Your cameos stood out big Steve! Your a damn good equipment technician! Prolly the best, thanks my friend for these in depth looks behind the live music!
Hi big Steve... I'm new on here but old school to the Grateful Dead...my boyfriend, Clear Lee Jones has commented on your shows & has told me the story from how you and someone else changed Jerry's strings while on stage and many others but I've got CRS.Syndrome..

You should do your own brand of nitrous Steve. It’s been around since the pioneer days they used to gather in town and have party’s haha the mayor sheriff town folk all doing nitrous haha.
About the nitrous today, if it ain’t Amethyst Quartz Purple(not painted) Medical Grade, use water & fishtank activated charcoal at chemistry grade recipe as a filter through a milk jug, or Bong theory…BUT KNOW, I may have damaged my lungs by not knowing exactly what I was doing before I learned how to protect my lungs
Winterland was fantastic, saw the Stones in 1972 there plus countless other bands, Grateful Dead many times,aloha Steve
Steve parish "You're a damn good audience". "really, really really"!!! Big Blue tanks. Happy that I own "The Grateful Dead Movie" on DVD, it ROCKS!

He probably reacted the way the Geico Caveman did.

Can anyone explain Bill Grahams joke " I got your stage name all figured out" "Riggo Park" I was looking on Google but couldn't find anything
Thanks for watching Sam.
@@Sampozsik333 Most likely Rego Park, a section of Queens in NYC
My favorite part was the head dancing in the hallway cowboy hat lether vest think it was sugar mag
I thought he was on roller skates first time
Absolutely, scene always trips me out
Was at one of those shows. Phil side fourth row

Big Steve please do a Pod On Brent I would really love to hear your thoughts about him!
It was weird finding out members of the dead went to bohemian grove.
Mill Valley must have been epic back in the days before it got posh
You should do your own brand of nitrous Steve. It’s been around since the pioneer days they used to gather in town and have party’s haha the mayor sheriff town folk all doing nitrous haha.
like a good GD show not long enough looking forward to next episode
Thanks Tony!
Steve…Where are all the carpets they played on? Any left from back in the day?
Yo Big Steve....if you're ever out near Joshua Tree stop on by the Jimtown studios. Peace Daddio!
I wonder how much harder it would have been setting up the wall of sound with a 2nd drummer
Hey Steve ..........why wasn't I in the movie?
About the nitrous today, if it ain’t Amethyst Quartz Purple(not painted) Medical Grade, use water & fishtank activated charcoal at chemistry grade recipe as a filter through a milk jug, or Bong theory…BUT KNOW, I may have damaged my lungs by not knowing exactly what I was doing before I learned how to protect my lungs
Hey Steve, what was the very first Dead show you ever attended? Can you remember?
Winterland was home court.
Formulative...
Bury Jerry tour 2024... Jerrys Dead, be Grateful!!!!!
