He began writing songs, (Way to go Home, Easy Answers, Picasso Moon) producing records and eventually playing in that section of the show between Drums and Space, when no one was on stage; the section Dick Latvalla dubbed the "MIDI Jam". Since the end of the Grateful Dead, Bralove has been focusing on his own music and art , including his duo with Grateful Dead Keyboardist Tom Constanten called Dose Hermanos.

Radio Motherboard talks time travel, sound tech, and why we're all living in the Grateful Dead's future, with Amir Bar-Lev, director of the new Martin Scorsese-produced documentary about the band.     See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Amir Bar-Lev, the director of the new documentary "Long Strange Trip," talks with Recode's Peter Kafka. The four-hour film, which traces the history and cultural impact of the Grateful Dead and its fans, will be released in theaters and will stream via Amazon Prime Video. Bar-Lev says it's accessible to both Deadheads and non-fans alike and that he made it in part as a reaction to how Instagram culture has made people believe they are "mini celebrities." He also argues that mainstream observers have neutered the Dead's legacy by trying to cast them as tech or business geniuses, when in fact they always put art ahead of commerce.

What a LONG STRANGE TRIP is the title of the new Amir Bar-Lev authorized documentary of the Grateful Dead that I caught at the HOT DOC’s screening here in Toronto just a few nights ago. To say it’s a trip doesn’t do this four hour long look at our beloved band justice. The film takes you from the very earliest days of the Mother McCree Uptown Jug Band to the unfortunate end with Jerry Garcia’s passing and everthing in between. I had the opportunity to sit down with both Director Amir Bar-Lev and friend of the show Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux to get some insight into the making of the film and the Grateful Dead story.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A young rock n roll fan inspired by the liquid lights shows at concerts goes on to become an incredible Director and Producer, creating award-winning documentaries including 'The Fighter', 'The Tillman Story' and 'My Kid Could Paint That'. Christian sits down with Amir Bar-Lev discussing his four-hour film, 'Long Strange Trip' which will hit select theaters this Thurs. May 25th and begins streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting June 2nd. Amir describes how 'this documentary is a funny sort of middle ground between art and journalism.'

Darrin's decade-long relationship with William Friedkin evolved in 2005 when he edited his acclaimed psychological thriller, Bug.  Since then, Darrin has escaped the confines of genre and storytelling styles, bringing his rigorous eye and narrative sense to Azazel Jacobs' offbeat comedies, Momma'S Man and Terri, Paul Solet's dramatic horror film, Grace, and Alison Bagnall's The Dish & The Spoon, starring Greta Gerwig, and the music documentary Re:Generation, directed by Amir Bar-Lev.  Darrin reunited with William Friedkin for Killer Joe, starring Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, and Juno Temple.  More recently, Darrin edited James Ponsoldt's The Spectacular Now, starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, about hard-partying high school senior's philosophy on life changes when he meets the not-so-typical "nice girl." 

The documentary The Tillman Story was given a controversial R rating for language by the Motion Picture Association of America. We talk with filmmaker Amir Bar Lev about his failed effort to challenge that rating in an appeal. Then we hear from Joan Graves, head of the MPAA's rating's board, about their reasoning on this and other questionable ratings.
