Be sure to stay till the end for the exclusive theatrical premiere of “China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider,” a bonus live performance from the October ‘74 Winterland shows not included in the official film release.
The film was directed by Jerry Garcia and Leon Gast. It was produced by Edward Washington, Bill Graham, and Ron Rakow.
