The Festival Tapes 1.0: The Grateful Dead & Friends
Loading...
Uploaded by ElectronicCinema on Apr 25, 2011
I first met Bob Weir at Charlie's Dalai Lama Party. I was screening some raw stock of The Festival Tapes in one of the cabins while recording various performances and events at the party. (see the Dalai Tapes) On one of my rounds through the cabin, I found Bob camped out in front of the video screen. "Did you record this?" he asked. "If we played Telluride, would you record us?" And so, the concert was scheduled. Uncle Bobo (Bill Graham) had some other ideas about the video. It was agreed that the audience was, in fact, the real show at a Dead Concert. Here the camera focus is on that experience, concluding with some extrordinary footage of the Band. As with all the postings here, the magic is in the details.

well, i first met Bob Weir at Stony Brook University, where we started up a quick relationship lasting one week. things were different in 1968! the Band was as laid back as the audience. no fuss, no bother...Bob asked me to go to their concert that next weekend at the Capitol Theater. and i stayed with the Dead for that weekend, Bobby in particular

Thanks for sharing this. As a UK Deadhead who only saw the band once (10-30-90), this is a beautiful glimpse into the world I so badly longed to be part of.

beautiful video... what's the date of the eyes of the world at the beginning?

Loved that bit at the end! Jerry looks so healthy and animated. Sigh. If anybody needs to know, the dates of these shows were August 15 & 16, 1987.
