GRATEFUL VIDEO: Telluride August 15 & 16 1987: The Festival Tapes 1.0: The Grateful Dead & Friends

Some incredible footage from ElectronicCinema

I first met Bob Weir at Charlie’s Dalai Lama Party. I was screening some raw stock of The Festival Tapes in one of the cabins while recording various performances and events at the party. (see the Dalai Tapes) On one of my rounds through the cabin, I found Bob camped out in front of the video screen. "Did you record this?" he asked. "If we played Telluride, would you record us?" And so, the concert was scheduled. Uncle Bobo (Bill Graham) had some other ideas about the video. It was agreed that the audience was, in fact, the real show at a Dead Concert. Here the camera focus is on that experience, concluding with some extraordinary footage of the Band. As with all the postings here, the magic is in the details.

this is some very rare footage – nearly 2 hours worth! Enjoy!
