The Grateful Dead Movie: Watch It Free Online

The Grate­ful Dead Movie doc­u­ments “a tour-end­ing five night stand at the Win­ter­land Ball­room in Octo­ber 1974. These were their last shows with the Wall of Sound, and the film includes amaz­ing per­for­mances of many favorites like One More Sat­ur­day Night, Goin’ Down The Road Feel­in’ Bad, Truckin’, Sug­ar Magnolia/Sunshine Day­dream, Stel­la Blue, Casey Jones, and Morn­ing Dew.”

Enjoy it online, rather than hav­ing to drop $90 for a DVD. The Grate­ful Dead Movie will be added to our list of Free Doc­u­men­taries, a sub­set of our col­lec­tion, 4,000+ Free Movies Online: Great Clas­sics, Indies, Noir, West­erns, Doc­u­men­taries & More.
