Deadheads

I came across this documentary the other day and had a blast reminiscing about this era in rock history. After watching this, I realized how Vanilla the scene at many events in the States is today. If you like cinema verite style, and the sites and sounds of a good old-fashioned Deadhead scene, you need to see it. Ok, I'll admit I am somewhat biased, the guy who made this documentary is an old friend with whom I worked a long time ago. But I'll say this, Brian O'Donnell probably knew the scene as well as anyone east of the Mississippi. Thanks for finally putting it up on Youtube Brian!

Covering 10 years, this 60 minute art documentary takes an inside look at the artisans, magicians, musicians, and >lunatics that make up this cult of devotees, deadicated to a band that originated in 1965. Why these fans leave their >schools, families and jobs to be part of these ritualistic tribal celebrations of dance, drugs and community, is a 20th >century American cultural phenomenon captured here in this time capsuled video tape.
