Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies Returns To Cinemas Aug. 8-10, Celebrating 1991 Giants Stadium Gig

Trafalgar Releasing and Rhino Entertainment are proud to announce the return of a beloved annual tradition: the “Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies.”

Dead Heads rejoice, as Saturday, Aug. 8 and Monday, Aug. 10, will see the return of a beloved annual tradition, the Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies, which will celebrate the complete June 17, 1991. concert from Giants Stadium featuring Jerry Garcia, Bobby Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, and with Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick on keys, plus bonus footage, according to the announcement.

“The Summer Tour of 1991 was widely considered one of the best of the 1990s, and the June 17, 1991 show at Giants Stadium was nearly universally acclaimed as the best of the tour,” says Grateful Dead Legacy Manager and Archivist, David Lemieux. “From the ‘Eyes of the World’ opener to the sixpack of ‘Dark Star’ teases woven throughout the night, the one show from 1991 whose reputation grew as time went on was this concert. Because it’s one of only two shows captured on 48-track analog tape, the audio quality is spectacular. Hearing this mix in a theater with fellow fans is going to be transportive, and we’re thrilled to sweeten the pot with an exclusive look at ‘Shakedown Street’ from the upcoming ’85 Merriweather release.”

Tickets for “Meet-Up At The Movies” are on sale now at meetupatthemovies.com, where fans can check for local showtimes and other information.

The occasion takes place during “The Days Between,” an annual period honoring the band’s legendary frontman Jerry Garcia, from his birthday on Aug. 1, to Aug. 9, the day he passed.

“The annual ‘Meet-Up’ has grown into a vital tradition that captures the true community spirit of the Grateful Dead,” said Kymberli Frueh, EVP of Programming and Content Acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing. “Dead Heads around the world look forward to this cinematic gathering year after year, and we are proud to keep that tradition thriving alongside our partners at Rhino. Our ongoing partnership allows us to bring the most iconic moments in the band’s history back to life, and this year’s ‘Meet-Up’ is no exception.”
