8'th Annual...Meet-Up at the Movies featuring 7/7/89 ....JFK Philly
Forums:
Heads-up, Deadheads.
The 8th annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies is Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2018, on what would have been Jerry Garcia’s 76th birthday.
This year’s screening is sure to be epic: the July 7, 1989, show from John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia.
The Grateful Dead played for almost 3 hours at JFK Stadium. Their lineup at the time: Garcia, drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, keyboardist Brent Mydland and guitarist Bob Weir.
The setlist: “Hell in a Bucket,” “Iko Iko,” “Little Red Rooster,” “Ramble on Rose,” “Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again,” “Loser,” “Let It Grow,” “Blow Away,” “Box of Rain,” “Scarlet Begonias,” “Fire on the Mountain," “Estimated Prophet,” “Standing on the Moon,” “Rhythm Devils,” “Space,” “The Other One,” “Wharf Rat,” “Turn on Your Lovelight” and “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.”
“For nearly a decade now, fans have looked forward to the summer to get together with ‘family’ in movie theaters across the nation for the annual ‘meet-up,’” said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. “We’re proud to partner with Rhino again this year to bring this special event, featuring one of America’s most treasured rock bands, to some of the world’s most devoted fans.”

Went to that show, had a Good time. Funny the things I recall from so long ago.
Some friends from Long Island drove down for this one and picked me up in Jerseyland. Prior to leaving, we stopped at the nearby booze shoppe and Lee grabbed a bottle of Glenfiddich. However, he was so amused at the 'Clan McGregor' display that in his fit of laughter, he dropped his expensive Scotch and it broke.
It was a life-sized cardboard cutout of a kilted Scotsman, perhaps with bagpipes. He purchased another bottle and paid for the damage.
We drove over one of the bridges to get there and back then, they would open / close the West / East lanes with only the lit-up green or red arrows/X'es. No physical dividers in the roadway. Driver thought "Wow that is dangerous !!"

It’s also on DVD already in the Crimson White & Indigo release. As someone posted earlier, headscratcher?
These meet up at movie nights should be previously unreleased videos IMHO.

Freakin great time at shoe.
Freakin great time at shoe. We broke the place, literally. Its weird choice but my guess is it was well recorded and popular and that people like to get together to relive a good time on a huge screen with Dolby. I might go just to see/hear the blow away. Brent at his pie-eyed best! Scarlet-> fire has wicked Jerry too.

So that was the last ever (official) JFK show ??
I seem to recall the Stones did a rehearsal show there before their actual gig at the Vet.
