I recently watched my VHS of the Grateful Dead Movie. I hope it will be
released on DVD soon with a nicely remixed 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack. Some
questions about this movie:

Who is the piano tech?

Who is the rail rat who is perfectly lip-syncing?

What ever happened to "John Williams", the articulate Head who tries to calm
down the up-tight head? Is his name really John Williams? I love the Round
Records shirt he's wearing.

Who is the stage dancer who is attracting the attention of Billy Kreutzmann and
the cam-op?

Whose children are on stage?

Inquiring minds want to know.

interesting questions, i have wondered the same kinds of things over
the years. i don;t have any answers, just a trivia point.

in the credits you'll see, "script supervisor" or assistant or
something credited to one Deborah Koons! i thought that was kind of
funny.

I know that the guy you see dancin or twirlin in the lobby during
Sunshine Daydream is an old freind who use to go by the nickname
Sunshine. Theres also a pic of him in one of the many books sitting on
the tailgate of a truck with jerry. At a Schaeffer Music Festival King
Crimson concert in Central Park many years ago, he gave me my first
dog that I called you guessed it Sunshine. I often wondered what
happened to him. I know he moved to SF and the last time I saw him was
at a show in Winterland. If your still out there I hope alls well

This guy I used to work with a few years back was at the first 3 of the 5
shows when he was a senior in high school. He claims to have known the guy
up front row lipsynching from his school (the guy was a couple years older)
but couldn't recall his name. My buddy's name is Neil, and 10/18 was his
last show until 8/12/91. He lived in Hawaii for years and never had the
chance to see them. What a shock it must have been for him!

Did the Hells Angels get to keep their colors on or did they
listen from outside?

I'm thinking you're talking about the blond guy wearing overalls.

Scene out in front of the line before the show.
What are you eating GREG?, chicklets he says.
I continued to see him at shows until the middle '90s when I believe
he left the Bay Area for the Northern Rockies.


Those were the days,

I used to see the guy who screamed "St Stephen" and
"The Omnipitent Grateful Dead" in the dead movie at
Red Rocks circa '83'-84.........
This was always near the womens bathroom where I would stake out
a seat between sets, and watch the hot girls......
The "Omnipitent" guy always went into the mens room.
Yeah....WHATEVER!
