Dead & Company to stream final Golden Gate Park concert live in IMAX
But for fans unable to snag tickets to the sold-out celebration from Aug. 1-3, the band is offering a cinematic alternative: a one-night-only live broadcast of the final concert in IMAX theaters across the country.
Attendees will receive a collectible mini-poster and lanyard alongside the three-and-a-half-hour immersive concert experience.
Local showings in the Bay Area include AMC Metreon in San Francisco, AMC Bay Street in Emeryville, and others in Dublin, Santa Clara and San Jose.
The Golden Gate Park shows are expected to draw over 60,000 fans per day to the Polo Fields, where Dead & Company — featuring Grateful Dead founding members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, joined by John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane — will headline what many believe may be their final San Francisco stand.

Later in August, the celebration continues with a nationwide IMAX release of 'The Grateful Dead Movie,' newly remastered and presented as part of the band's annual 'Meet Up at the Movies' event.
Originally directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast, the 1977 concert film captures the band's storied 1974 Winterland Ballroom performances and will screen in 60 IMAX theaters on Aug. 13, followed by a wider release on Aug. 14.
'It was the greatest screening I've ever experienced of a film I've seen hundreds of times,' said David Lemieux, the band's archivist and legacy manager, about the film's IMAX presentation.

Deadheads Are Really Going to Love IMAX This Summer
The Grateful Dead is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, from the massive 60-CD box set Enjoying the Ride to a book of rare Jim Marshall photographs. Now, the long, strange trip continues with two separate screenings on IMAX. Dead & Company — the offshoot that celebrated its 10th anniversary this year with another residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas — will livestream the last of their three shows in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. That live IMAX event takes place on Aug. 3, and features an opening set by the Trey Anastasio Band. The tickets come with a poster and lanyard.

The 1977 film captures the band's five-night stand at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom in October of 1974, what they believed at the time to be their final run of shows. Co-directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast, it marks the film's first time on the big screen in eight years, and its first time being shown via IMAX. Fans can also see the theatrical premiere of a bonus live performance of 'China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider,' which they can catch at the end of the film. 'It was the greatest screening I've ever experienced of a film I've seen hundreds of times,' the band's archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux said of the IMAX screening. In December 2024, the Dead were honored at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and were celebrated as MusiCares' Persons of the Year in January in Los Angeles. Just before bassist Phil Lesh died last fall, Bobby Weir told Rolling Stone the band was considering reuniting for the anniversary. 'I think when Phil checked out, so did that notion, because we don't have a bass player who's been playing with us for 60 years now,' he said. 'And that was the intriguing prospect. … I think you need somebody holding down the bottom. Phil had all kinds of ideas that were pretty much unique to him. I grew up with Phil holding down the bottom in his unique way.' He added: 'I suppose I could go back out. I wouldn't put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point. It'd be me and two drummers. I'd have to think about that. I haven't thought about it — it's just now occurring to me that it's a possibility that we could do that, since you asked. … I guess we'll just see what the three of us can pull together.'
