The Dead is coming back to the movies.

The eighth annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies happens in theaters across the country Wednesday, Aug 1.

This year's screening will feature the band's July 7, 1989 show at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia during the height of the band's late-1980s commercial peak, marking the band's final performance at the venue.
