Has the Grateful Dead Movie been banned?

For I don't no how long, I've always looked forward to seeing the Dead Movie on VH1 or other channels through Comcast/Xfinity. It's almost a year since it appeared in my weekly favorite searches. Does anyone know anything about this?

It's a shame to see history being changed because of a few songs that may have a gun fight, dating 14 year olds, and other lyrics that may be offensive to some.

Republicans

Hello all, I'm from Europe and not really a Grateful Dead fan, I listen to a lot of music from the 60's and 70's though. After visiting an American music forum I noticed that a lot of Deadheads were Trump supporters and this confused me. How is this possible? The band as I understand stood against everything this band represented. Would you say that Grateful Dead has always been a band which followers are mainly Republican as crazy as it sounds?

Weir on Deadline Whitehouse

Anyone catch Ari Melber interview Weir today? It was a fast interview, but enjoyable. Looks like they had to edit it down to fit on TV but it was nice with some substance. Cool! Have a Grateful Day! :-)

P.S. The interview just happened so it hasn't been uploaded yet, but when it is it would probably show up here:

Here is a weird encounter. …

Here is a weird encounter. My family has a summer house in Bryant Pond, ME, Two properties down there is a studio that Tucker Carlson (yeah, that guy) broadcasts from. My brother and I were taking a walk and we saw ol' Tucker working on his vintage pick-up. As a good neighbor I introduced myself, and we had an interesting (non=political) talk - in his studio was a picture of his circa early 90's with Jerry Garcia. The dude had been to over 50 concerts! Who knew??

@repoman

Does not Ann Coulter get into Dead, too? Someone should tell them Sen. Al (Kissinger on Dead Ahead) Franken gets into the band quite a bit. Hey repo, check out his bona fides on his knowledge of jams...

Egypt '78 Art

Gentleman on Democracy Now! has the Mouse art hangin' up behind him. Nice! :-)

-edit- Or, is that Kelley/Mouse?

Grateful Dead on the NFL

During the NFC Championship game just now, when they went to a tv break the music they played during the transition was Estimated Prophet. I saw another game recently where they played Saint Of Circumstance. Those are pretty deep cuts for the NFL.

hey you posted thus on my…

hey you posted thus on my birtda :D

Has anyone heard anything…

Has anyone heard anything about Grateful Dead Meet up at the Movies for 2022? Before the pandemic, movie theaters would show a Dead concert on Jerrry Garcia's birthday.

Dead on Billions Season 6

Season 6 of Billions - someone producing that show knows their Dead
Besides the reference to Steve Parish in episode 8 or 9 the Deal to close out the season with Jerry on Slide is out of this world. If someone could point me to the show where they got that from I am going to say late 70s early 80s I would be GRATEFUL!!

In response Grateful Dead on NFL Fox does it all the time

The producers for fox sports who do the effects are big time Jam band fans. You will hear a lot of Phish, Dead, Panic ,Moe as they cut into commercials. If you google it there are some interesting articles and the producers even have some pics with members of the band.

Literally everyone who is a GD or Jerry fan should check out this episode.. OMG!

This is MUST LISTEN episode for all GD fam... no joke.. there are some things that have never ever been discussed before about Jerry and Bob.

I actually really love this podcast. there is no other like it out there, the guests are amazing. the host asks the best questions, and its always compelling. The host is also a big deadhead, so in the midst of the big topics they cover Jerry usually pops up from time to time. CHECK IT OUT!

There's a commercial I stumbled across years ago - I don't think it ever made TV, but it is on you tube - and it's got Sugaree playing in the background for a little while just before all the action starts...

New Dead release?

I got an email a few days ago talking about an acoustic Dead show from 1970. There were links to record stores but no one had ever hear of it. Is it available? The show poster featured Bob "Ace" something and a few other groups. Any info would be appreciated.

"My Grateful Dead"

HuffPo article too good not to share. "...maybe it is the honesty in their music and a trust that, just like their audience, the Grateful Dead were simply who they were, without judgment and without apologies -- even when they were dark figments of themselves. And, maybe it's because of this that on these warm June nights, I mark another year. I reflect on being ten years old, sitting in stadium seats at my first Grateful Dead concert, the summer breeze blowing through my hair as I listen to Jerry Garcia sing "Standing on the Moon," with a weathered and tired voice that was far from perfect -- but it was entirely his own and that's all I ever wanted to hear."
