Product Description
In the mid-1960s a new twist on contemporary rock music emerged out of San Francisco. Known as 'psychedelia', it was pioneered by a close-knit community of local bands who merged traditional American musical forms with new sounds often developed under the influence of psychedelic drugs. Bound up with the social and cultural changes of the era, it was a combination that made for a radical re-imaging of youth culture. This film traces the movements, events and sounds of those heady days, and traces the story of the definitive band of the psychedelic age, The Grateful Dead.

The new blended sounds were typically created while they were under the influence of drugs, and this revolutionary era eventually exploded and caught the nation and the world by storm. But make no doubt about it that San Francisco was the epicenter of it all. Dawn of the Dead is not just about the Grateful Dead, though they are the main focus. Other period bands are shown and talked about to some degree: The Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Company, and others are all shown performing live from way back in the day.There are also many interview segments with Rock Scully, Peter Albin of Big Brother, Dead publicist Dennis McNally, The Grateful Dead Hour's David...
