Wikipedia article
'Infrared Sightings' is a video by the Grateful Dead, consisting of computer animation and other imagery set to music from their album 'Infrared Roses'. It was released on VHS video tape and on laserdisc in 1992, and is 18 minutes long.
'Infrared Roses' is known to fans as "the all Drums and Space album". Produced by Grateful Dead sound designer Bob Bralove, it contains free form improvisational music recorded live at a number of different Dead concerts.
The visuals for 'Infrared Sightings' combine computer generated images, many of them abstract, with found footage that has been altered or edited in various ways. The video is therefore somewhat reminiscent of the light shows that were projected on large screens at many Grateful Dead concerts.
