TIE-DIED: ROCK & ROLL'S MOST DEDICATED FANS
Year: 1994
Country:
United States
Run Time:
80 minutes
A dazzling concert-tour movies with zero rock stars onscreen, TIE-DIED deals decisively with the dogged devotees fo the Grateful Dead. These are the dread and daffy Deadheads, diehard disciples who for decades have dropped out of Babylon (disdainful Deadspeak for the drab 9to5 world) to drive cross-country and travel the world, trekking after their idols from one playdate to another, in a perpetual gypsy caravan of music, kinship, hippie freedom, rainbows, and other concepts supposedly discarded with the the Counterculture McGoverniks. The film does discuss the darker deeds and disturbing details of Deadication-the drugs, the disillusioned, the dysfunctional, the dental decay-and that's allegedly why lawyers from the Grateful Dead disgracefully sought to stop distribution of this feature. But TIE-DIED, if anything, defends the Deadheads. It's an affectionate, funny, and oft-moving depiction of a mellow mass movement that had defied mere record-industry fandom to become a lifestyle and philosophy unto itself, possibly dearer to the heart of rock'n'roll than even the band that inspired them. Don't miss!
