deadinA previously unreleased concert film documenting a July 1989 performanceby The Grateful Dead at Alpine Valley in East Toy, Wisconsin, will be shown in theaters across the U.S. on May 4.

The one-night-only screening will serve as the fifth annual installment of the band’s “Meet-Up at the Movies” series.

The band’s lineup at the time featured Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart and keyboardist Brent Mydland.
