Come celebrate the 35th anniversary of an iconic Grateful Dead show as it makes a high-energy return to the big screen! On August 8th & 10th, join Dead Heads in your neighborhood -- and around the world -- for the 2026 Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies. This can't-miss event features the complete June 17, 1991 concert from Giants Stadium. The performance launches with a shocking "Eyes Of The World," finding the band in peak form from the very first notes. The setlist continues, seamlessly blending beloved classics like "Truckin'" and "Uncle John's Band" with rarities such as "Saint Of Circumstance," "Might As Well," "New Speedway Boogie," and "China Doll." The major highlight of the night is the continuous teases of "Dark Star" edging its way in and out through the evening at six different points before finally exploding into the full song. The Dead capped off the spectacular night with The Band's "The Weight," a perfect song to send the crowd on its way. Considered one of the greatest shows of the band's final decade of performing, 6/17/91 offers a unique auditory experience as one of only two shows captured on 48-track tape. Enjoy a masterful surround sound mix by Jeffrey Norman and multi-camera visuals, featuring a rare cinematic appearance by both Bruce Hornsby and Vince Welnick. As a bonus, this extraordinary screening will also feature an exclusive sneak preview of the legendary "Shakedown Street" from the upcoming Merriweather 6/30/85 release, and a special introduction by Grateful Dead Legacy Manager and Audio archivist, David Lemieux. Join us, won't you?
