We’ve all been anxious to check out the new Grateful Dead documentary, Long Strange Trip, directed by Amir Bar-Lev and executive produced by Martin Scorsese when it comes to homes across the United States on June 2nd via Amazon Prime Video. However, if you’re anything like us, you might be getting impatient. Luckily, a string of theater showings ahead of Long Strange Trip’s Amazon release has been announced, with dozens of theaters showing the new movie for one night only on May 25th. These theater screenings will also coincide with screenings at some of the most epic venues from the Grateful Dead’s storied career, including a viewing at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado and The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.
Today, the trailer for Long Strange Trip was released to news outlets before it’s officially released on Amazon Prime tomorrow, so you can get a taste of what to expect from this newest documentary effort. With the backing tracks of “Shakedown Street,” “The Other One,” and “St. Stephen,” the two-and-a-half minute runs the gamut in previewing topics such as Jerry Garcia, psychedelics, their sound, spinning fans, and more. Check it out for yourself below, before you catch the full movie later this month!
