The Grateful Dead Movie

2025 Meet-Up
August 14 - 16, 2025

This event occurred as part of the 25/26 Art On Screen season. This is an archived view.

This immersive concert film is a cultural time capsule of the Deadhead experience, capturing the iconic band's 1974 San Francisco performance–including bonus footage!

Blending electrifying live performances with animation, candid backstage footage, and interviews, the film captures the iconic American rock band's five-night run at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom in October 1974 - their farewell tour before a temporary hiatus. This special re-release of the concert film also includes a bonus live performance of "China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider" not included in the official film release.

The Grateful Dead formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. They are known for their devoted fanbase (known as Deadheads), who created a unique subculture centred around live music and community. Jerry Garcia, co-founder and face of the band who died in 1995, co-directed this concert film. 

The Hop is excited to join in this tradition of the Grateful Dead 'Meet-Up at the Movies' to see this beloved fan favourite!
