The Grateful Dead return to the big screen for the 2023
Meet-Up At The Movies.
A year after Brent Mydland's passing, the Grateful
Dead returned to the summer stadium circuit, playing Chicago's Soldier
Field for the first time, with two keyboard players filling the seat Brent left
vacant.
Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick’s presence and
musical contributions reinvigorated and revitalized the Grateful Dead,
and the inspiration of the Dead's playing was palpable. On a Saturday night in
front of 60,000 fans, the Dead played what is often considered one of the
greatest shows of the Bruce-Vince era, up there with the second Giants Stadium
show from a few days earlier. The Soldier field show was filled with favorites,
including “Shakedown Street,”“Brown-Eyed Women,” “Playing
In The Band,” “Terrapin Station,” and “Dark Star.”
From the original six-camera video feed that appeared on the stadium's big
screens and the pristine soundboard audio, Chicago 6/22/91 is an incredible
performance start-to-finish. (USA, 1991/2023, 190 min., color, DCP /
