The 8th Annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies, featuring screenings of the Grateful Dead’s July 7, 1989 performance at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, will hit the screens at over 500 theaters across the country at 7 p.m. on August 1, the birthday of Jerry Garcia. Fathom Events and Rhino Entertainment are presenting the event this year, through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network. “For nearly a decade now, fans have looked forward to the summer to get together with ‘family’ in movie theaters across the nation for the annual ‘meet-up,'” Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt said. “We’re proud to partner with Rhino again this year to bring this special event, featuring one of America’s most treasured rock bands, to some of the world’s most devoted fans.” Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Brent Mydland, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann were part of the band’s lineup at the performance in July 1989, which turned out to be the last concert at JFK Stadium. The stadium was demolished a few years later due to fire hazards and crumbling concrete.
