This should keep you heads occupied until the film is ready.

Playing music for hours on end, the band would regularly need to tune their instruments, leaving time for idle conversation and amusing anecdotes.
 

These tuning moments are the focus of a new, unique compilation from Deadhead Michael David Murray, who isolated all of the band's tuning tracks from 1977, and merged them into one long, continuous audio file.
 

The result is unsettling, as each tuning session is supposed to lead into a song, but instead just segues into another tuning session from another show. Murray explained his idea, saying "It's them talking as a band, actually tuning up, playing little teases of songs, often their equipment is breaking and they're running around fixing things... there are some interesting things that pop up in the audio in the hour and a half."

FOR ALL YOU DEADHEADS OUT THERE

YOU could be featured in the upcoming GD documentary!

Hey now! As you may have recently heard, the Grateful Dead have partnered with executive producer Martin Scorsese and director Amir Bar-Lev to produce a career- spanning documentary film in advance of their 50th Anniversary in 2015. The producers have been working closely with the Dead, as well as Justin Kreutzmann and David Lemieux, to put together a project we expect you'll be hearing much more about in the coming months.
 

Because so much of the Dead's story involves YOU, the Dead Heads, we want you to be involved. We're looking for submissions of:

Photos / home videos of you / your friends on tour with the Grateful Dead
Photos / home videos of Grateful Dead taping culture
Grateful Dead performance footage
News footage of the Grateful Dead
 

Important Notes:
 

Please do not send any photos or videos initially, please only send us a short note telling us what you have available including show date, and a general description (example: "6/10/73, RFK Stadium parking lot footage of my friends and me before the show, shot on Super 8 sound film").

We must know what years the material was shot, what format it was shot in, and what format it is currently in. (i.e. super 8, mini DVD, etc.)

Please let us know if this footage is a dub, original, edited, or a camera original.
Please let us know if you are the sole rights holder for the material.
Please let us know if you're capable of digitizing and uploading the material. If we use the material in the final film we will pay you a licensing fee and give you credit.

Send your photo and video/film listings to us at gddocumentary@gmail.com and we’ll be in touch if we’d like to see your photos or footage. Just to reiterate: Please do not send any attachments, the server will automatically reject anything but an email.

Thank you
