After premiering at the Telluride Film Festival last August, Mischa Richter’s sweet and sun-dappled documentary Summer Tour moves into wide release this week. The documentary tracks two young and earnest Deadheads during Dead & Company’s final tour. Richter follows Jerry and Annie as they make the rounds from the lot into the show and back onto the road. Summer Tour is an empathetic look at Shakedown circa 2023, from a director who experienced Shakedown circa 1990. The film places an emphasis on sounds and visuals rather than armchair sociology.
