You can't run away and join the circus anymore, Garcia would say, and ifs gotten too hard to ride the rails.

Ifs that spirit of innocence and romance that director Andrew Behar tries, but only occasionally succeeds, in capturing in his documentary "Tie-Died: Rock W Roll's Most Deadicated Fans." The moments of failure aren't all Behar's fault. He must be feeling particularly star-crossed to have released a documentary on people whose major mis- ^ sion in life is to follow around a band that may never take to the road again.

As I said before, Pm really not alone is caught on film the mid-1970s, is still the more informative and entertaining if not the more professionally done film. Where "Tie-Died" succeeds is in giving a vivid picture of life on the road from all sides. Everything from the beauty of the open road to the lost dogs and lost souls you find along the way are captured in pioturesque detail. There are kids tripping on psychedelic drugs and declaring that we can all live together in peace and harmony on Mother Earth in those concert-venue parking lots. And there are also people like Patrick, the parking-lot vendor who has followed the Dead long enough to know that sometimes after a show a boozy crowd can get ugly. So he sleeps with a weapon. There's the guy, probably fortysomething, who has been following the Dead for 25 years. He evokes a certain sadness when he says his mother asked him if he thinks he wasted his life. And there are the teen-agers running from broken, dysfunctional homes and families in the suburbs who certainly could have wound up somewhere far worse than the parking lot outside a Grateful Dead concert. They all leave one with the same uneasy question: Now that Jerry's gone, where do they go? Tie-Died" is rated R.
