Jerry Garcia would’ve turned 77 years old on Thursday, and every real Deadhead in Tampa Bay is celebrating the late Grateful Dead frontman’s birthday in wonderfully weird ways.
The Florida Mountain Boys’ Saturday tribute to Garcia’s music piques our interest, but this Thursday-night screening of a live Grateful Dead show kicks it all off. Band archivist David Lemieux has chosen the Dead’s June 17, 1991 concert at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey for this one-night-only screening happening throughout North America and in Europe and Australia, too.
Grateful Dead: Meet-Up at the Movies. Thurs., Aug. 1, 7:30 p.m. Tampa Theatre, Tampa. tampatheatre.org.
