Here is a movie with some AWSOME pictures of the festivities from this weekend. I yanked the pics from my friends FB feeds. Apologies in advance for being a stalker :) The movie was made using a new Jerry Garia editing theme Magisto in celebration of #GD50th and Jerry's new record On Broadway. The theme will be live tomorrow on Magisto. #JerryRIps

Magisto's launch of the Jerry Garcia editing style celebrates both the release of Jerry Garcia Band – On Broadway Act One: October 28th, 1987 as well as this coming weekend's Fare Thee Well - Celebrating 50 Years Of Grateful Dead shows at Soldier Field in Chicago. Users of the Jerry Garcia editing style can use one of six tracks from the new, three-CD release drawn from Jerry's historic Broadway run at NYC's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. The new editing style is the product of a partnership between Magisto and the Jerry Garcia family.

“More than any other band in history the Grateful Dead was founded in the spirit of sharing and community, which continues to this day,” said Trixie Garcia, Jerry’s daughter. “I’m thrilled that Magisto is adding to that legacy by giving fans a creative new way to share their love for the music of Jerry and the Grateful Dead.”

“Garcia’s songs are actual stories with an unusually rich sense of place, character, and story arc,” added Genauer. “Part of what made Jerry an icon was his ability to deliver those stories with intimacy and conviction. The Jerry Garcia editing theme on Magisto now lets fans express their own personal perspectives with Garcia’s music through our special brand of video storytelling.” 


The Jerry Garcia estate will select the user who shares the best Magisto video to receive a four-seat Presidential Booth for a show at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York; a special Jerry Garcia merchandise package including the three-CD set, and will have their movie featured on jerrygarcia.com. To enter, download Magisto for iOS, Android or Mac, choose the Jerry Garcia editing theme, select the photos and videos you’d like to use and include #JerryRIPS in your title.
