The Grateful Dead’s 1977 concert film The Grateful Dead Movie is heading to theaters and IMAX in celebration of the group’s 60th anniversary this summer.
The newly-remastered film will first make its IMAX debut in 60 theaters across North American as an exclusive preview on August 13th, followed by a wide release on August 14th. The theatrical event is part of the Grateful Dead’s long-running “Meet-Up At the Movies” series, which they’ve been doing annually since the first event in 2011 (in which they also re-released The Grateful Dead Movie in theaters).

The August event marks the first time The Grateful Dead Movie will be screened in IMAX, with the film remastered to create an immersive, visually engaging concert film experience. Directed by bandleader Jerry Garcia, the film tracks the band’s five-night run at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in 1974, shining a light on the burgeoning Deadhead scene and the group’s jam-band ethos. After three years of post-production, the film premiered in 1977 and has since remained a staple for Grateful Dead’s legion of fans.
