Quite sure this was made 3-4 years ago when the group putting it together was still crowd sourcing donations to complete the project. I tried donating but they never collected, pretty sure bc they didn't get enough overall commitment dollars to move things forward.
That group since reorganized I believe into what is now Summer Jam LLC, a for-profit entity that switched up the funding model. You can now "invest" into the project in exchange for some economics, which all assumes of course this goes on to get made and picked up by a streaming service / advertisers, etc.
Clearly they needed to sweeten the pot by changing things
Last I saw they were still struggling to gain commitments, like $50k or something so far....
I again tried to get in on that and it's been a confusing experience to say the least. Communication is really poor but I applaud them for not taking my money if they don't have confidence they can actually get this done.
Dickey once commented how long it took Jerry Garcia to get to the stage in a car. It's was several hours but I can't remember exactly how many. Jerry wasn't in the mood to take a helicopter over the huge crowd.

@robertdee Make that 2,000,001, LOL.
Berry's last show. I had forgotten that they had Chuck set up on the left side by Gregg. Used to seeing him on the right side with a Grand & a Fender Rhodes.
@kcjimmy Yes after Lamar replaced Berry, they put Chuck on the right side.
Lamar had played with Jaimoe before the ABB formed and he was Jaimoe's choice to replace Berry I understand. Several bass players auditioned but Jaimoe said Butch Trucks injected after they auditioned Lamar and said " Let's stop this auditioning and rehearse. This guy is right for the band". Gregg and Dickey didn't say anything so it was Lamar to which Jaimoe said telling the story he appreciated Butchy doing that.
