They don't. Linda was a professional photographer and in the 60s she was deep into the music scene taking photos of everyone who was anyone back then. Paul has explain over and over that it wasn't his type of music. All of the Beatles have publicly ragged on the SF Bands. Paul did the project because he had the photos lying around and he was super impressed the Dead were still touring in the 90s. Paul finished this film short just before Jerry died.
@@71kylew 1 date is my understanding and didn't blossom any further than that. Linda has a great book of photos of all the bands in the 60s, she took some nice photos. She was mostly in the NYC area but of course branched out, she used her last name as "door opener" even though she wasn't the heir to Kodak-Eastman, it worked though and people thought she was rich socialite checking out the music scene.
@@StrebbleEducationandArts Linda had some talent, I recommend her book of photos. She was everywhere but mostly in NYC taking photos. She took those Dead photos in 1967 well before she met Paul who I believe they meet in 1969. So, Paul has zero connection to the photos being taken but found them among her stuff after she died. Paul has publicly stated to Rolling Stone mag that he started touring again because he found out Jerry was still touring around at his age and thought if Jer could do it, than he could too. As far as them being friends or meeting each other, it never happened. If you scroll up somewhere on here, we are retelling the story of the time Lennon met Jerry but that's the only Beatle that ever met a member of the Dead until Weir joined McCartney on stage at Fenway Park.
Thank you a hundred times for sharing this. Being a rabid Maccafan and a Deadhead too, this photofilm I first heard about 28 or 29 years ago had been on my must-watch list for a long, long while.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. My only intersection of the Beatles with the Grateful Dead was on the 27th June, 1984 at Merriweather in Columbia, Maryland. When, for the first time, the Dead played "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" As soon as I heard the first note I called the song. It was a remarkable concert! Trippin balls with the other cows as we all crossed the bridge on the way out; "Moo Moo Moo". If you were there you know! Every show the Dead played at Merriweather was Golden! Peace & Prosperity! NFA
My very first Grateful Dead show of many.... was on the bus 🚎 and still am....Symphony Woods - what a sublime venue. Perfect place for the 2017 "Thank You Jerry" celebration
Never knew about this. Was never into The Dead though I had a soft spot for Jerry Garcia. Linda took all these photos. That's quite an archive. Props to her husband for making a pleasantly enjoyable slide show of his wife's work. Much appreciated by all music fans.
Me and bros took a bunch of pictures on those steps in 1981.we got back to NYC and discovered the film was loaded wrong . Still a gas for an 18 year old in 1981..thanks fam.. so great Thanx to who made this and released it. God bless....
I was supposed to watch this short film on a showing with the Dead Movie in London circa ‘95 but there was a fire? And it didn’t go ahead! Finally got to see nearly 30 years later! Worth the wait ❤
That was incredible! Few expressions pinpoint the magic and ecstasy of those days. This one did and the fact that Anthem of the Sun provided the background opened doors I haven't seen open for a long time. Yeah. They were there with the rest of us.
I saw this at the Angelika theater in NYC by chance when I went to see Trainspotting and it was one of the best surprises ever. Seeing this on the big screen was an incredible experience.
zoned out to the Dead at the age of 17... late 60's was an awesome era to 'come of age' 😉Can't express how honored I was when my adult twin step-sons invited me to a Grateful Dead concert!! Little did any one realize that would be their last tour. Keep on truckin' Mr. Natural! ☮
Linda published a photo book called the Sixties that's just awesome..the stories she had with each of her subjects are worth the price of admission alone!.. I recommend this book..
It was always fun when the boys played a Beatles tune back in the day. Lucy in the Sky, Revolution, Hey Jude, Dear Prudence. So thankful my life overlapped with Jerry’s.
So, Sir Paul, 's up? You and the late, great Ms. Linda were there for the early days (daze), and it looks like y'all had a great time. Thank you for making this Photofilm, it captures something unique and irreplaceable. A true moment in time, when many things were possible.
@@SSags Talk about a missed opportunity. Just wonder if Paul had ever met Jerry & the boys prior to making this film, and obvi., before he and Bob performed together a couple of years ago?
@@skywoof7 I am not aware of Jerry ever meeting Paul. The only known meeting between a Beatle and Jerry was a show at the Bottom Line in 74 or 75 and Lennon was in the crowd. As the story goes, Jerry was the first musician to cover a non Beatle Lennon song (Imagine) on a released album. Lennon was partying hard during this time in NYC on his "lost weekend" but apparently he was intrigued by the cover of Imagine and went down to the Bottom Line to check out Jerry. Jerry's peeps found out Lennon was in the crowd and got John to agree to jam with Jerry. Lennon said he was going to go back to his apartment and grab his guitar and come back for the late show. Lennon did not return to the Bottom Line that night and never met Jerry either. That was the closest story that I know of any Dead member meeting a Beatle until that Fenway Park show with Weir and McCartney. The truth is, the Beatles didn't like the SF scene music, they may have respected it in the aftermath but they didn't mesh with it at the time either. Look at some of the quotes by other British rock stars like Clapton and what they thought of the SF music. They just didn't like it or better put...they didn't understand it.Most of the British scene had the same attitude towards SF too except the Stones and Pete Townsend. Clapton has since in his old age said...he would have liked to jam with the JA or Dead but in the 60s he hated the music.
In Phil Lesh's autobiography "Searching For the Sound" he writes that he had a brief romance with Linda (then) Eastman during this period, and speaks somewhat wistfully that it never progressed.
@@snerdterguson Well when he said "date" I believe it was euphemistic. I don't think they went to a movie and then shared a sundae at the ice cream parlor. Jerry himself said "Linda hung out at our scene." Both Phil and Linda were lovely people and since they're both gone, let's send loving thoughts and thanks for their light and love.
I have a vague memory of hearing Paul McCartney complimenting the Dead in an interview I heard on the radio some time in late '80's, a few years before I actually became a Deadhead. I still found the whole Dead phenomenon puzzling. Didn't get the music when I tried to listen - didn't hate the studio stuff, but couldn't see why some people were so obsessed. Didn't have the patience for live Dead. Back then, I had some mixed impressions about the band and their fans. I knew a few personally who were good people. Also had 1 or 2 encounters with hordes of wooks, which turned me off. But I remember Paul on the radio giving a shout out to Jerry & the Boys, which impressed me. I seem to recall they asked Paul about the trend for him and other artists of the British Invasion generation going back out on tour after long hiatuses (they were already considered old back then!). Paul answered he was partially inspired by the Dead who had never stopped touring.
This is from 1995 if you've never seen it before. Still a good piece of work. He is a multi faceted artist. And he and Linda made a great team......❤ And the photos were actually taken by Linda about 1966. Just before she went to London for the first time.
that's a nice treat ! strangely it starts and ends with Tom Constanten's prepared piano, but without credits. Else, it is a new perspective on something incredible happening at a somewhat magical time
@@Salt-in-Wound Sorry, been following the band for 40+ years. Those are fun pics. BUT there are TONS more legendary shots than those. e.g. Rosie McGee alone has hundreds more. Check out her book, Dancing with the Dead. She did date Phil from the earliest days & was a true Deadhead.
Thank you for posting. Linda Eastman McCartney must have been a very cool woman. And, one great thing about The Dead was they let their fans set up mics on the soundstage. So, no recording rights lawsuits, etc. Also, very cool, IMO. What a terrific collaboration here.
Noooo the Dead were very strict about recording shows in the early days, very strict. They eased up after the hiatus in 1974-5. Before then, it as a nasty if you were caught. There's a very big reason why 6 months of live shows in 1970 is completely missing and we don't have them. Bear Owsley was in jail so no one was recording the shows and the Dead had goon squads in the arenas shutting down tapers. There are a few tapes, with Mickey or Bobby caught on tape pointing out microphones to the stage hands who in turn would chase the tapers and destroy the tape and take the mics. Then there is the infamous live tape of Sam Cutter catching a taper in 1971 and having a huge argument with the taper all caught on the mic until he gave up the tape to him or leave the show immediately ...interestingly enough with the tape. So from 1976 to 1984, while the Dead themselves no longer cared if you recorded, the arenas and venues had strict policies about photos or recordings and the local security would take your tapes and mics. It wasn't until Spring 1984 that a Taper area was set up with a purchase of a Taper Ticket but if you were caught without that ticket and out of the zone...it was taken.
@@SSags Interesting. My first Dead concert was later. 1976. And, I can tell you, absolutely,, throughout the audience, there were mics on long poles (so, not hiding). I'd guess at least 20. And, I believe, within a year or two, some were on the soundstage (ya know that place in front of the stage where the engineers adjust the sound?) Tons of bootlegs emerged. But yes, probably not until after 1975.
@@andrewcowin3815 Read what I wrote, it depended on the venue or arena after 1975. Some cared and others didn't. Read up on the matter, in the 60s and early 70s, the Dead themselves shut down tapers. it's documented.
@@SSags Interesting historical tidbit. I'd heard the roadies were pretty tough guys. Not far removed from Hells Angels types. So, yeah, I can believe it. I probably went to ten Dead concerts from 1976 - 1980. All in the Northeast. All of them had fans with mics, as I described. But, again, I'm sure you're right. Seems like you looked into this! But, the Dead seemed like such mellow guys. And, not particularly aggressive on money issues. I mean, they all shared a townhouse. Not to mention that, eg, Haight Ashbury free concert and another one at Columbia, appear to have been filmed, with sound, by somebody in the audience. Maybe it depended on how much acid the Dead family had dropped that night. And, there definitely were bootlegs starting around 1973 and accelerating in number for years after, correct? Do you think those recordings were done surreptitiously?
@@andrewcowin3815 There's a fantastic blog about these days and the recordings, if you do a search. Just about everything and anything is documented about the Dead, their friends and the other SF bands on this site. I contribute on occasion. If you listen to some of the early audience tapes, specifically in 1970, the tapers ironically recorded battles between the tapers and Dead roadies. There's a great interaction caught on tape between Sam Cutler and some taper, goes on for like 10 minutes. Cutler basically gives the taper a choice between giving up his mics and tape or leaving the show immediately with the tape, that tape is on Archives but I don't remember the date but it is there. It's also very heated on Cutler's side and him being not so nice. But remember he just came over from the Rolling Stones, he never really fit in either.
Interesting the music he chose to open film is very similar to Palace of the King of Birds. Confirms in my mind they were in fact going for a Dead type groove with that jam
Not exactly sure if this is true, But I've had two different friend point this out, so maybe. At 3:56 you see Merideth Hunter, the man murdered by Hell Angels at Altamont. He actually shows up a few times in this film. I don't mean to bummer this viewing for anyone, but if true, this is a very interesting fact. He is in sunglasses standing next to the man with his arm up. I tried to compare Hunter and this gentleman while watching 'Gimmie Shelter", and to me, this guy looks exactly like a different individual in that film at the Altamont concert. Anyway, thought I'd share. Speaking of... Thank you for posting this film. This is a very important film to the music historian or anyone. Very cool.
Expand the video detail section and read the brief interview. Paul was most definitely not on the bus. His former wife had hung around US music scenes in the '60's before meeting the Beatles and she took a bunch of nice & fun photos. That's it. She wasn't even really into the Dead. I think she states in her coffee table book, Jim Morison was a favorite
I love the old black and white pictures, and the Grateful Dead were great. Some rare shots, from a time long gone. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the way it was made into a slide movie. I think it could have been better. I guess they were limited by the pictures. It wasn’t too bad though.
Well, the live music photos with the crowd are from NYC, I am guessing at one of the Human Be-Ins that was held in Central Park that year in 1968. Which is why there are photos of the Jefferson Airplane hanging out on stage with them.
Awesome! Never saw this! Very well done! I want to know what kind of disguise Paul was wearing to be able to hang around in public in the late 60s while Linda snapped all these pics! lol
That's the Dead I fell in love with in 1973 when I was 14. That music transcended space & time.
And the symbiosis with the audience energy helping direct the journey
Yes !
Thanks so much, Paul! RIP Pig, Jerry & Phil
Brent, Keith and Vince as well
And Linda
Well if this just isn’t the coolest damn thing I’ve seen all day
Somehow,this feels more authentic than contemporary video and a worthy memorial to Linda's skill as a photographer, brilliant job Paul!
Well .. who’d of guessed that Paul and Lynda had an interest in the Dead .. what a lovely surprise 😊😉🥳

Not exactly sure if this is true, But I've had two different friend point this out, so maybe. At 3:56 you see Merideth Hunter, the man murdered by Hell Angels at Altamont. He actually shows up a few times in this film. I don't mean to bummer this viewing for anyone, but if true, this is a very interesting fact. He is in sunglasses standing next to the man with his arm up. I tried to compare Hunter and this gentleman while watching 'Gimmie Shelter", and to me, this guy looks exactly like a different individual in that film at the Altamont concert. Anyway, thought I'd share. Speaking of... Thank you for posting this film. This is a very important film to the music historian or anyone. Very cool.
Your tripping

Sweet
Those photos were taken by Linda before she met Paul.
I remember seeing paul speak about hiw he thought the Grateful Dead were the best American band.
the people!
Had no idea the legendary Paul McCartney was on the bus. I didn’t think he could get even cooler in my book. What a treat.
Expand the video detail section and read the brief interview. Paul was most definitely not on the bus. His former wife had hung around US music scenes in the '60's before meeting the Beatles and she took a bunch of nice & fun photos. That's it. She wasn't even really into the Dead. I think she states in her coffee table book, Jim Morison was a favorite
I love the old black and white pictures, and the Grateful Dead were great. Some rare shots, from a time long gone. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the way it was made into a slide movie. I think it could have been better. I guess they were limited by the pictures. It wasn’t too bad though.
One thing about the Dead, they could always draw a crowd. Great photograps, you can tell it's San Francisco by the diversity of the people.
Well, the live music photos with the crowd are from NYC, I am guessing at one of the Human Be-Ins that was held in Central Park that year in 1968. Which is why there are photos of the Jefferson Airplane hanging out on stage with them.
Would be pretty easy to swap in some higher quality audio
Wow thee... nice tiny pic of Neil by ur user name... just sayin'... ♡☆
What song is this?
New potato caboose and Alligator. Listen to Anthem of the Sun
4:32 on : Jefferson Airplane had taken their place a full squad.
Awesome! Never saw this! Very well done!
I want to know what kind of disguise Paul was wearing to be able to hang around in public in the late 60s while Linda snapped all these pics! lol
Probably the Sgt Pepper’s uniform. 😊
These are from late 1967 - Linda was in the US and Paul was in the UK at that time… they married in March 1969…
@mikeweber5416 there's also the Columbia University gig, march or April 68

This was before she met Paul. She hung around a lot of music scenes with her camera.
Alligator 2/14/68 carousel. Road trips 2.2 but most of those shots from central park Bandshell. I think airplane was there too.
I spotted Jack and Jorma just before I read your comment (at about 4:30)
