    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.

    Missed it....
    Hi,This year I missed the meet up... This was the first year I was in Myrtle Beach for the meet up, but it was also the 1st time that they didn't have the meet up playing @ the local theater. They even carried Fare Thee Well last summer. I was @ that Foxboro show & I am also hoping they release the DVD!!!!! I had told my friends to get the info at the end of the show for the "pre-order", but alas.... there was nothing.... If they don't release it, maybe it can be streamed for the poor souls who couldn't attend this year!.. Just a thought!

    In Emeryville they played it before and after the main event.

    I think this was my favorite one yet.
    Everybody happy. Everybody healthy. Playing their hearts out. Those cool banners. A moment when it seemed like everything was going great and might go on that way forever... Also, the camera crew did stunning work, and the boys were clearly comfortable enough with them that the chemistry was great. In Emeryville, the sound started out a little low but the theater folks fixed it fast.
