Though little known publicly, multiple sources — including members of RT's family, his wife, and a Grateful Dead associate who knew both men — point to a significant personal connection: that the Grateful Dead introduced Dylan to Rolling Thunder, that Dylan gave RT one of his guitars, and that the Rolling Thunder Revue may have been named in RT's honor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe land at Meta Tantay was purchased by the Grateful Dead for Rolling Thunder, and the spirit of his message—respect for the Earth and all peoples—resonated strongly within the music culture of the time. The companion music album A Day with Rolling Thunder features songs written by James Bluewolf and arranged, recorded, and performed by Al Licari on drums. The album reflects the movement of the era, celebrating Mother Earth, unity among peoples, and protection of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Credits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced by United Earth Fund (UEF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting student journalism since 1978.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis student‑led project was produced with the cooperation of the University of California, Davis, including Professor Dave Risling and the UCD Tecumseh Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilmed at Meta Tantay, Carlin, Nevada in March 1978.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRolling Thunder served for many years as an advisor to United Earth Fund and encouraged the organization’s work supporting human rights for the Hopi people in the Four Corners region of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-UEF Editor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant: Please Read Before Purchasing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis documentary was originally produced in 1978 and has been forensically restored to modern standards by UEF.
