I followed the link last night and rewatched the Grateful Dead movie. When I last watched it on DVD sometime in the early 2000s one of the songs that stuck out most was "Lady With a Fan" and the animation that went with it. But it wasn't in the movie and a web search brought up no references. Do you know what it was that I saw?
Thanks for your note. Maybe you are remembering the animated sequence accompanying "Lady With a Fan" that appears in So Far, a home video release from 1987? See around the 14:00 minute mark as the group begins to segue from "Playin'" to "Lady..." https://vimeo.com/747850094

Thanks. I think that’s it. I must have rented the two together and blended them in my memory.
The story of So Far is pretty interesting, too. I posted a (long-ish) essay on the history and development of the video here: https://www.academia.edu/143916201/From_20th_Anniversary_Video_to_Cassette_Self_Distribution_to_a_Seamless_Blend_of_Music_and_Animation_The_Creative_and_Conceptual_History_of_the_Grateful_Dead_s_So_Far
