Immersing themselves in the vibrant, nomadic community that has long surrounded the music of the Grateful Dead. From dusty parking lots to packed stadiums, they make their way busking and selling handmade clothes on “the lot”. The film is a portrait of the band through the fans, capturing a unique perspective of the scene and community. Jerry and Annie move from city to city, carried by the rhythms of the road and the spirit of the crowd, rediscovering American and all the beauty it holds. As they journey across the country, a tapestry of fan call-ins—stories, memories, and reflections—builds a collective portrait of the Grateful Dead experience. Blending past and present, the film captures the enduring spirit of a community defined by freedom, resilience, and the open road. A large selection of Records CD’s and Swag will be available for purchase. All proceeds support WFMU WFMU Radio’s Monty Hall, located at 43 Montgomery Street in downtown Jersey City (mere steps from the Exchange Place PATH station). Monty Hall is ADA-friendly with wheel chair ramps, accessible restrooms, seating on request, and advance arrangements for assistive services. Our volunteers are always on hand to assist and make your experience welcoming.
