In the mid-1960s a new twist on contemporary rock music emerged out of San Francisco. Known as "psychedelia", it was pioneered by a close-knit community American forms such as folk, country, blues and rock & roll with new sounds - often deveIoped under the influence of psychoactive drugs. Bound up with the social and culturaI changes for which San Francisco was also the focaI point, it was a combination that made for a radicaI re-imaging of youth culture.
This fiIm traces the movements, events and sounds of those heady days, and traces the story of the definitive band of the psychedelic age, The GratefuI Dead. Covering too the involvement of Frisco's other Iead players such as Big Brother & The Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, The CharIatans and Quicksilver Messenger Service, the program expIores what it was that, temporarily, set San Francisco aside as a 1960s Shangri-La.
Featuring brand new interviews with GratefuI Dead manager Rock ScuIIy; the Dead's experimental pioneer, Tom 'T.C.' Constanten; Big Brother's Peter Albin; Mike WilIheIm from The Charlatans; publicist and official Dead biographer, Dennis McNaIIy; GD author, journalist and DJ (host to this day of 'The GratefuI Dead Hour'), David Gans; Merry Prankster and Ken Kesey colIaborator, Kenn Babbs, pIus comment, criticism and review from RolIing Stone's Anthony De Curtis, Village Voice's Robert Christgau and Mojo's Ritchie Unterberger.
Also including the rarest archive in existence, live and studio footage of Grateful Dead and the other Frisco bands, vintage interviews, Iocation shoots, news reports pIus the music that soundtracked the entire movement, which aIl together make for the most detailed overview yet of the social upheaval on America's West Coast which uItimately changed the worId forever. |
