Last year, an absolutely mind-blowing lineup of musicians descended on the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Cumberland, MD for a tribute to the late great Jerry Garcia. Included in the celebration were all four surviving members of the Grateful Dead – Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Phil Lesh – as well as scene fixtures like moe., The Disco Biscuits, Widespread Panic, Jimmy Cliff, David Grisman, Eric Church, Bruce Hornsby, Yonder Mountain String Band and more!
Today, organizers Blackbird Presents have unveiled plans to release Dear Jerry for both video and audio on October 14th. In anticipation, they have released the first official video from the event, a performance of “Touch Of Grey” led by Bob Weir. Watch the video, which premiered on Rolling Stone, streaming below.
You can also watch the trailer for the new film release, below.
The full concert film will be 150 minutes long, and there will be DVD, Blu-Ray, CD, and digital download options available. We can’t wait to watch!
