Description

Relive the history of a musical phenomenon in this singular four-hour psychedelic rock odyssey executive produced by Martin Scorsese. Required viewing for Dead Heads and the uninitiated alike, Long Strange Trip is the essential documentary on the Grateful Dead— and an incisive record of the rise and fall of 20th-century counterculture. Structured like the band’s legendary shows, the film’s first half charts their unlikely success and fiercely independent vision, while the second half dives into the consequences of their fame and the poignant emotional life that sealed the fate of the music. Rare archival footage of gigs and never-before-seen live performances weave into a meticulously crafted epic for the ages.
