Synopsis by Ed Atkinson

Even though the long, strange trip engineered by the The Grateful Dead finally reached the end of the line in 1995, there still remains extensive documentation of the journey. Dead Ahead is two hours of live concert psychedelia from the band's legendary string of shows at Radio City Music Hall. With Dead classics such as Ripple, Mexicali Blues, Franklin's Tower, the mid-set extended jam of Drums & Space, and the Buddy Holly classic Not Fade Away, even those that missed the live experience will catch a glimmer of why the Dead kept trucking for over 30 years.
