Rockin’ At the Red Dog: The Dawn of Psychedelic Rock Directed by Mary Works, 2005

If the psychedelic sixties were born in the dancehalls of San Francisco, then they were conceived in a saloon in Virginia City, Nevada where the musicians carried Winchesters & the kitchen served French gourmet meals.The psychedelic era fostered cultural growth and artistic expression. The Red Dog Saloon was the incubator for the lightshow and psychedelic poster art, an entire lifestyle that truly defined a remarkable era and defied classification as it weaved it’s tapestry of free love and music, which the Grateful Dead would spread around the world. Filmmaker Mary Works (assistant editor “Titanic”, “Saving Private Ryan”) was entrusted with access to the lives, antics and attics of this unique, extended rock-and-roll family that grew out of these wild times.
