    One Night Only - May 11, 2016: 6th Annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies: Sullivan Stadium 7/2/1989

    Come one, come all! Join us as we boogie down the aisles of your local moving picture house for the 6th Annual Meet-Up At The Movies. This year's special cinema event is a bona fide classic - the previously unreleased Grateful Dead concert from Sullivan Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts on July 2, 1989. Catch the Dead in fine form, kicking off their summer tour to a sold-out crowd of more than 60,000 fans, and pulling out surprises at every turn - from the rare show-opener “Playing In The Band” to the only time they ever started a second set with “Friend Of The Devil.” The concert also includes a spectacular performance of “Wang Dang Doodle,” one of the band’s finest sing-along versions of “Tennessee Jed,” two Bob Dylan covers (“Queen Jane Approximately” and “Quinn The Eskimo”) along with a medley of Traffic’s “Dear Mr. Fantasy” segued into the Beatles’ “Hey Jude.” Not to mention a sequence that will bring you back to the Dead circa 1973: "Truckin'"> "He's Gone"> "Eyes Of The World."

    And if that's not enough, we've got an exclusive interview with Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux on the making of the upcoming 12-disc July 1978: The Complete Recordings boxed set as well as previously unseen performance footage from Dead & Company.

    "Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies: Sullivan Stadium 7/2/89" will only be playing on the silver screen for one night! Come out and connect with Dead Heads in your neighborhood on Wednesday, May 11th at 7:00pm local time.

    Tickets are now available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.

    Lemieux
    I walked in while they were playing some Dead & Company, followed by a Fathom Events promo followed by the Lemieux clip. The Foxboro concert started promptly after that beginning with an awesome Playin'>Crazy Fingers>Wang Dang Doodle opener. If I had it on DVD, I would watch it again right now. The 6/21/89 Shoreline performance that was a pay-per-view back then would make another nice release. Way overdue for a release from this tour.

    Lemieux?
    Great time had by all. Except...when was the Lemieux interview about the '78 box? Was it at the very beginning before Foxboro '89? We walked in right before Playin' and then never saw it. After Foxboro was the Dead & Co. which my John Mayer-hating friend bitched about, then that was it. Fantastic Crazy Fingers and Eyes, and Fantasy>Jude>Sugar Mags finale. Had never heard this show. Jerry was so animated, at one point towards the end, he was smiling so much, whole theater started cheering!
