In particular, the reunion with Mickey Hart (drums) on 10/20 as he returned to the fold after an absence of three years and eight months. Plus, there is tons of music that still wouldn't fit on the DVDs. Among the pinnacles from 10/19 are the jazzy "Eyes of the World," which is linked to an emotive "China Doll." There is also the stretched-out and spacy "Playing in the Band" from 10/16. Every live performance included in the movie is presented unedited as is the 90-plus minutes of bonus footage incorporated into the DVD. Even given the extended CD format, nary a moment is wasted. Scholarly Deadheads may recall the thoroughly dismissible Steal Your Face (1976) had likewise been compiled from the same concerts, with the rambunctious reading of "Casey Jones" being featured on both. In fact, the five shows at Winterland Arena on The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack (2004) - not to mention the film itself - are drawn from the final run of gigs prior to that hiatus. The band is captured just prior to its short-lived touring sabbatical from October 1974 through April 1976. Starring The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Bruce Hornsby, Vince Welnick, Keith Godchaux, Donna Jean Godchaux, Ron “Pigpen” McKernanAlthough touted as the audio companion to the significantly expanded Grateful Dead Movie 2004 DVD, this package ably stands on its own as one of the best anthologies of the era. Pigpen, on what would prove to be his last tour with the Grateful Dead, is well-represented by three songs, including the broadcast's opening number, “Hurts Me Too”. The show's many highlights include an overview of the Dead's 1972 touring repertoire, including magnificent versions of “China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider”, “Big Railroad Blues”, “Truckin'”, and many more of the Dead's classics, as well as the first live performance of “He's Gone”, and other new songs including “Ramble on Rose”, “Jack Straw”, and “One More Saturday Night”. Now, fully restored and color corrected in High Definition with audio mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman and mastered by David Glasser, Tivoli 4/17/72 features nearly an hour and a half of the Grateful Dead at a peak of their performing career. This ground-breaking concert broadcast event was the Dead's first major live concert broadcast, and a first in Danish television history. The sixth show on the Grateful Dead's famous Europe '72 tour was a return engagement to the Tivoli Concert Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 17, 1972. This year we’re celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the legendary Europe ‘72 Album, by bringing the previously unreleased Tivoli Concert Hall, 4/17/72 performance to the big screen. The Grateful Dead return to cinemas worldwide for the 2022 Meet-Up At The Movies.
