Special Screening
The Grateful Dead Movie was shown in a one night only re-release screening event in approximately 540 theaters throughout the U.S. on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, presented by NCM Fathom Events and broadcast to the theaters via Dish Network. The event started at 7:30pm (local time) and began with a pre-show lasting about 30 minutes consisting of dozens of still photos of the band with "Playing In The Band" background music. The event also featured additional footage not included in the original 1977 release, including interviews with Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir filmed during production of the original movie. Due to popular demand following the success of the April 20 screening, a second "Grateful Dead Movie Event Encore" screening was announced on April 28, 2011 and occurred on May 5, 2011 @ 7:30pm (local time).

Famous quotes containing the word special:
“I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
