I
received a DVD from Tina which she had converted from a VHS tape released in
1992.
In
this excerpt from the 60 minute video, Raccoon is playing “Ring Your Bell” in
the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert.
The rest of the video is mostly of people playing music in different
Grateful Dead concert parking lots over a span of 10 years. Raccoon’s segment
was only 99 seconds (14:23 – 16:02) but it’s a great 99 seconds! It’s fun
watching people dance to Raccoon’s awesome rhythmic stylings and the way he
danced while he played is much like
Pete described it.
The
following was written on the cover of the original VHS tape:
DEADHEADS
A TYE DYE MOVIE BY BRIAN
O'DONNELL STARRING ACTUAL "DEADHEADS"
Covering 10 years. This 60
minute art documentary takes an inside look at the artisans,
magicians, musicians and
lunatics that make up this cult of devotees, dedicated to a
band that originated in
1965. Why these fans leave their schools, families and jobs to
be part of these
ritualistic tribal celebrations of dance, drugs and community, is a
20th century American
cultural phenomenon captured here in this time capsule video
tape.
