    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.

    Turn it up!
    This was a great show, enjoyed the unusual setlist a lot. Jerry really looked like he was having a good time. Seeing his ear to ear grin felt great. As usual Brent nailed Mr. Fantasy. Heavy Traffic. The crowd was small and unfortunately so was the amount of volume we were provided. Clearly the theater employees didn't understand that we weren't there for book club. Bobby is the only guy I know of that can rock the shorty shorts and still be cool. Looki g forward to 2 nights of Dead and Co at the good ol' Apline Valley. Bobby really seems re-energized with this line up. It isn't the same band, but they have got it going on.

    @likeytohikey...
    So glad you made it! Congrats on the anniversary and welcome to the club! Repeat after me... "I'm a deadhead and I miss Jerry" The congregation responds in unison in a David Gans like disaffected tone... "We know" ;-)

    Great time
    This was the first meet up I went to. Truly was a meet up as I met someone I had not seen in at least 10 years. I had a great time. Show was very good, with Dear Mr. Fantasy>Hey Jude Reprise the highlight of the concert. Paramus NJ had a good crowd, about 80% full, about 200 people. Light applause after each song and no dancing in the aisles. No issues with sound or film quality. Excellent night and will definitely go again next year.
