Grateful Dead HQ dug into their mid-'70s video vault for this week's iteration of All The Years Live, taking Deadheads back to the Winterland Ballroom for a 10/18/74, 16-minute "Weather Report Suite."
"Produced from the camera-original 16mm negative film, this beautiful and powerful rendition of the entire Weather Report Suite was the Dead's final performance of this Wake Of The Flood masterpiece," recalls GD legacy manager/archivist David Lemieux. "A couple of nights after this performance, the Dead packed it in as far as touring went for almost two years. When they returned to the road in the Summer of 1976, they brought with them the final part of the Suite, Let It Grow, but left the first two parts behind. Thankfully this performance was filmed during production of The Grateful Dead Movie, as well as recorded to 16-track analog tape."
