Here is the most complete version I have come across of
the "So Far" press conterence held on September 14th, 1987
in New York City. Grateful Dead publicist Dennis McNally
introduces the panel - Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Len Dell'Amico,
and Clive Davis. This press conference centers on the video
project "So Far", but strays into other interesting topics.
At one point, when Jerry Garcia is asked "How did things go
with your sessions with Robert Hunter?", the tape suddenly
fast forwards and goes to black. When the video resumes,
Dennis McNally reminds the press that "So Far is the reason
we came here today".
I found two very short clips from this event at YouTube,
which are of much better quality than this, but with the
upcoming release of "So Far" for the first time on DVD
(April 2012),I felt that this was a timely upload.
You will find this video both informative, and entertaining. |
