Please provide more technical details on the Regal presentations:

Video data format? (HD, NTSC, 60I/24P, 16:9 or 4:3?)

Sound format and number of channels?

Live? Recorded?

It's a 70's era film transfered to digital, so it has to be good. Right? That's all you need to know. Big screen premiere of "The grateful Dead Movie" co-directed by Jerry Garcia.
Everyone should go get tickets before they sell out. Pack up the kids for a fun 70's celebration,. It is tonite, Oct. 7th, 2003 at 7:30PM. What are you waiting on?

Unfortunately I do not know all the specs except that it will be 16:9. I know they played the KORN concert last year and they had concert level sound but I do not if it was 6 channel or not. They did have people moshing in the theatre.
