Variety critic Owen Gleiberman reviews "Summer Tour", a documentary directed by Mischa Richter (and produced in part by Chloë Sevigny) that follows Deadheads on Dead & Company's 2023 tour, billed at the time as the band's final outing. The film focuses on a young couple, Jeremiah "Jerry" Pierce and Annabelle "Annie" Dunne, who travel the country in a decorated van chasing the tour, offering a portrait of what the reviewer calls the third generation of Grateful Dead fandom.

The review situates this generation within a longer lineage: original 1960s-70s hippie followers, then a 1980s-90s wave that lasted roughly until Jerry Garcia's death in 1995, and now the Zoomer-aged devotees depicted in the film. Gleiberman describes the documentary as "blissed-out and navel-gazing", noting the couple's countercultural aesthetic while also acknowledging a genuine yearning among Deadheads for something communal and spiritual, even as he frames their lifestyle with a degree of scepticism.
