The Tale of the Dog tells the previously-untold story of the beginnings of Denver’s transformation to its modern identity as a hip city. This 100-minute documentary film charts the struggles and triumphs of a pioneering hippie rock club trying to establish a foothold in Denver. Open from September 8, 1967, through July 19, 1968, the Family Dog brought to Denver, for the first time, such new premier bands as the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Cream, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, and Canned Heat. It also hosted one of the era’s greatest multimedia light shows – Diogenes Lantern Works.
