Sunday Cinema | MSNBC Time & Again – Grateful Dead

It’s been a week since the final Fare Thee Well concert in Chicago at Soldier Field and already we’re clamoring for more Grateful Dead. To satisfy that need, an upgraded copy of a retrospective documentary about the band has surfaced, which first appeared as part of MSNBC’s Time & Again series. 




YouTube user LoloYodel posted a new version of the Time & Again profile with upgraded audio. The 42-minute documentary hosted by Jane Pauley presents footage of the Dead and its members culled from the network’s archives. It originally aired in various forms in the late-1990s/early 2000s and includes interviews with Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Mickey Hart as well as live footage, mostly from the band’s later years. 




Here’s a breakdown of the program from the video’s description:
