Video of The Grateful Dead New Years Eve 1978 - This is a TRULY EPIC Concert... Filmed by KQED TV for Broadcast to The People of The Bay Area... High Fidelity...

The Closing of Winterland (12/31/78)  It Started at Midnight With a New years Eve Celebration and Ends at 4 AM... Includes a Dark Star/The Other One/Dark Star... GEE, That’s Something You Don’t See Everyday... 

It’s Wonderful to see so many people that Have Passed On... Alive and Healthy... Bill Graham, Ken Kesey, John Belushi, Jerry Garcia, Keith the Piano Player... 

Jerry actually Jumps Up and Down during the Song Johnny B. Goode... 

For Some Unknown Reason The Video of New Years Eve 1978 is NO LONGER Available... It's Marked Private...
