    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.

    Cool story wissinomingdh. Any year works for nakedness. Have made this each year since the 2nd in 2012, missed the first year as I never heard about it, and then my father died in early 2012 and these have been a good tonic for the hardness of that. Maybe because they always remind me of how in his later years he asked me to find the GD channel on his satellite radio and put it in a preset after macular degeneration had taken its toll, and that makes me smile since he never really understood my obsession with them back in the day in the '80s/90s or how upset I was in '95 when Jer went to the great beyond. Looks like they may work their way through the entire '89 summer since that was all filmed. O.K. with me, 7/9 and 10 being my first shows, but hopefully there will be some older ones too. Always love seeing millennials at these things getting into Dead for first time.

    Ready for E-ville!
    That 'He's Gone' is one of the best ever. This is my church and Jerry is my pastor. The wife and I will see y'all in Emeryville!
