it was a very good night in the Castro last night for the SF premiere of Long Strange Trip. I think everyone is going to like this documentary when released in June by Amazon.

One glaring omission was that absence of Mountain Girl, either interviewed or even present in the footage.(nor Koons for that matter). Vince Wellnick was also totally absent and he was an actual GD member.

Although they had their influences, its probably better to keep the spouse thing off the table, and focus on the band.
Vince was absent in all members ear monitor mixes, so I guess it's fitting he's not in the film. Better than band members or crew onscreen saying things like: "VInce was a mistake", 'We were lazy about hiring keyboardists after Brent", and "The guy was a basket case", etc.

well not from the spouse perspective, Carolyn was a major presence in the proto-Dead community, a Pranskter and wife of Kesey. The movie spent a great deal of time with Garcia's post-coma hook up with former gf Barbara Meier.

That's not what I read in the reviews of this film (Rolling Stone and L.A. Times).

Very odd they would spend a bunch of time on Meier and not talk
to MG at all. Seems like a bit of a fail, but haven't seen it yet to judge
for myself.

As a longtime DeadHead, my
As a longtime DeadHead, my first show was Yale Bowl 7-31-71. I stayed on the bus until the last sad shows of 1995.
Attended hundreds of shows, became a DAT taper, took my kids to their first shows when they were still in the womb, dragging my poor wife up to Red Rocks in '84 while she was five months pregnant.
I would very much like to see this movie at the LA premiere on May 26.
Does anyone know which theatre(s) the LA showings on May 26 will be?
Or how to get tickets or find out about this May 26 LA showing of Long Strange Trip?

Everyone should see this film
Everyone should see this film. It's not a biopic, it's really a fine documentary. I consider myself lucky to have participated in it.
Amir reached out to Mountain Girl on more than one occasion, and she declined offers of involvement in the movie.
Though it would've been great to see MG onscreen, (and i think she's kicking herself for it,) but Trixie did represent, by including her own story. Trixie and Amir are longtime friends from back in the 80s babysitting kiddies backstage via the Hogfarm.
As for Vince or Mayer not in it- it's a doc, not a biopic. it's Amir's story to tell. vince really wasn't part of Amir's story as much as Brent and Keith. not trying to be harsh, but vince was a footnote by comparison.
I also highly recommend Amir's other documentaries-they all have a story.
