The Grateful Dead Hits The Big Screen

Tropical Storm Andrea, Presidents in Moorseville, NC talking about putting the World Wide Web in schools. What kind of summer is this going to be? Now the music industry is digging up Grateful Dead. The infamous concert film Sunshine Daydream is coming to the big screen. August 1st 7pm. Presented by NCM Fathom Events. Which means it'll probably be shown at Regal Stonecrest. Sunshine Daydream was first shot on 16mm film and has been restored to HD resolution for its theatrical release, while the audio has been completely remastered as well. The Dead's setlist includes "Bird Song," "Dark Star," "Greatest Story Ever Told," "Playing in the Band" and more. The screening is a part of the "Grateful Dead Meet Up at the Movies 2013" series and tickets are available at theater box offices and at the Fathom website (where you can also check out a list of participating theaters). Filmed at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta, Oregon, in 1972, the Sunshine Daydream concert served as a benefit to save the local Springfield Creamery, and has since become one of the most talked-about shows in the Dead's history. Along with the never-before-seen footage from the concert itself, the film will include recent interviews with Ken Babbs, Sam Cutler, Wavy Gravy and Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia about the monumental concert. The Dead's setlist includes "Bird Song," "Dark Star," "Greatest Story Ever Told," "Playing in the Band" and more. Check out a video clip
