Long Strange Trip, the fanstastic, Amir Bar-Lev-directed and Martin Scorsese-executive-produced Grateful Dead documentary, is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray this fall. A deluxe edition of the film will also be available via Dead.net.

The documentary, which spans around four hours, chronicles the rise of the Grateful Dead as both a musical and cultural phenomenon, up until the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, complete with interviews with members of the band, crew, fans and more.

The deluxe version of Long Strange Trip, which will be available on November 9, the same day as the DVD and Blu-Ray releases, will feature previously unreleased video from the Dead’s first overseas performance in England in May 1970, plus backstage footage from that trip, along with video of two 1989 live cuts. All of the new documentary versions will also include new commentary from director Bar-Lev.

Dead archivist David Lemieux explains the origins of the newly included footage, saying, “Around 2003, while winding through the 16mm film outtakes for The Grateful Dead Movie in preparation for its DVD release, I came across a couple of unlabeled cans of 16mm film. I loaded the first reel onto the Steenbeck film viewing/editing table and was amazed by what I saw. Not only rare, exceptional quality material from the performance at the Hollywood Festival, but loads of other terrific footage, showing the band at a Warner Bros. Records party in London (Pigpen surrounded by suits!), at a photo shoot (‘that’s one uncooperative bunch of musicians!’), at a rehearsal hall performing ‘Candyman’ vocal harmonies and, most exciting of all, backstage at the festival. This is truly some of the most remarkable, candid, and interesting footage in existence of the Grateful Dead and we’re thrilled to be releasing the entirety of this wonderful historical document.”
