May 26, 2017 · A four-hour film about the legendary band The Grateful Dead, directed by Amir Bar-Lev. The movie explores the band's musical evolution, cultural influence, personal struggles and legacy through interviews, archival footage and six thematic acts.
- Jerry Garcia was obsessed with Frankenstein. “I used to draw pictures of the Frankenstein monster over and over, endlessly, in different positions,” Garcia says near the start of Long Strange Trip,his voice playing over a montage of his sketches.
- Garcia’s formative influence was bluegrass banjo legend Earl Scruggs. “My mother was an amateur musician, my father was a professional musician, so I grew up in a musical household,” Garcia relates in another archival interview.
- The Dead achieved commercial success by going country. Driven out of San Francisco by curiosity seekers intent on spotting hippies, the Dead sought refuge in the countryside, and their music soon grew to reflect the new setting: a shift seen in rare footage of Garcia, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh working out vocal harmonies for “Candyman” while strumming acoustic guitars.
- During an early TV appearance, the Dead dosed a cast of extras with LSD. Confronted with unfamiliar, potentially awkward situations as their fame began to rise, the Grateful Dead weren’t above employing “LSD as self-defense,” as then-tour manager Sam Cutler put it.
