This year, Rhino Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing present the Dead’s eponymous film “The Grateful Dead Movie.” This fan-favorite cult classic follows the legendary band on what at the time was believed to be their final performances, a five-night run at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom in October of 1974, the final night billed as “The Last One.” Featuring stellar live performances, mind-bending animation, interviews with band members and crew, the film has a rare focus on the band’s fans and their deep commitment to the Dead Head lifestyle. Be sure to stay till the end for the exclusive theatrical premier 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. 7 p.m. Thursday, at the Capitol Theatre at the Appell Center, 50 N. George St., York. All tickets $15.
