The Park Theatre, 19 Main St., in Jaffrey will present a famed concert from The Grateful Dead Nov. 1 and 5.
This year, the Grateful Dead are celebrating their 50th anniversary of the “Europe ‘72 Album” by bringing the previously unreleased Tivoli Concert Hall April 17, 1972, performance to the big screen. The film is titled “Grateful Dead: 2022 Meet-Up At The Movies.”
The sixth show on the Grateful Dead’s tour was a return engagement to the Tivoli Concert Hall in Copenhagen, Denmark. This concert was the group’s first major live concert broadcast and a first in Danish television history. Now fully restored and color corrected in high definition with audio mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman and mastered by David Glasser, the movie features 90 minutes of the Grateful Dead at the peak of their performing career.
The show’s highlights include an overview of the Dead’s 1972 touring repertoire, including “Big Railroad Blues,” “Truckin’” and more of the Dead’s classics, as well as the first live performance of “He’s Gone” and other new songs including “Ramble on Rose,” “Jack Straw” and “One More Saturday Night.” Pigpen, on what would prove to be his last tour with the Grateful Dead, is represented by three songs, including the broadcast’s opening number, “Hurts Me Too.”
The film will be shown at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 1, and at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5.
Tickets are $12. They can be purchased in advance by visiting theparktheatre.org or calling the box office 603-532-8888. Group sales and private screenings are available for organizations and schools.
