LONG STRANGE TRIP is an Excellent Movie about the Grateful Dead. Four Hours Long, it Traces their History from the Very Beginning thru Jerry Garcia's Death.


Made with the help of Tricia Garcia and Justin Kreutzman, it shows Many Films that I Have Not Seen Before... Being Family, They Had Access to Everything in the Vault. 

Interviews with Musicians, Roadies, Sound Techs, Girlfriends, Children, Deadheads, Record Company Executive, etc etc etc... This is a Insightful Film... I was especially Moved by the Filmed Interview With Barbara Meier... A Girlfriend of Jerry Garcia's from the Bluegrass Banjo Years of his Youth and then Again During his Scuba Diving Era in Late Life... 

The Movie Does Not Document the Post Garcia Years... My Last Concert was the "Fare Ye Well" Shows in Santa Clara, CA - and it was a Truly Epic Event!

I first noticed the Grateful Dead in 1968 in 
English class at junior high school. Our teacher 
had put up posters on the wall of the classroom
and we wrote essays about them. He was 
attempting to stimulate creative WRITING 
but more importantly, creative THINKING.

One was an American flag made out of 
swastikas and another was a solarized/
negative photo of 5 hairy men 
standing in front of "LITTLE BOXES" type 
suburban tract homes... I Did Not Recognize 
them...

made the Grateful Dead an American Miracle... 
Just remember, if our lives together were 
written as a fiction story, everyone would 

dismiss it as being unbelievable... 

Yet it all really happened! ART, Poetry and

The wonderful Winterland Arena in San 
Francisco was the home to many Grateful 
Dead Concerts... It was the ONE PLACE where 
the Wall of Sound really worked! 
They had days to set up the equipment and 
tweak it to perfection... 
and it was a fine show! They included fire on 
stage and ladies dancing with silk scarves...

and I Went to That Concert... I Remember Many
People With Movie Cameras... 

and I Went to 39 Concerts Total...
