To mark the 20th anniversary of Grateful Dead, KGO TV ran a three-part series on it's local newscast. Lots of very familiar footage, some New Year's Eve '84, Chinese New Year '85, Frost Ampitheater '85 and on the final report some footage from earlier in the evening at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. Interview clips with Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Graham, David Gans and others. Early in this series they mention Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, while the shot is actually Phil Lesh from the famous film by Robert Nelson. June 1985

  • "I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs." -Jerry Garcia.

    I was 15 when I headed out one weekend on a mtn bike. Went to a local Park with streams/forests etc. I was solo, so it hit me more as the headphones filled my ears. As if it were narrating and I watched the park come alive - I kid you not. It was American Beauty and I don't care what anyone says about studio work. I can't say that the album changed my life, but it was about as comforting as one could imagine. It was just a big hug and good friend that day.

  • I Believe This Was A Video Clip From KGO-TV's Channel 7 News Tonight's Entertainment News Reports On Grateful Dead's 20th Anniversary In June 1985.

  • Not all Deadheads were hippies. Not that there's anything wrong with hippies. It's just that I wish all these new clips and documentaries would show that you didn't have to wear tie-die or grow dredlocks. In the end it came down to the music, the unbelievable jams.

  • mickey hart really sounds like jerry in this interview

  • It's tough to get to record news multiple reports, even though in this one they announce that there will be more! I was lucky enough to have been at all of the shows depicted except in the 67 in the park!
