Grateful Dead

Grateful Web is thrilled to announce the triumphant return and 25th-anniversary celebration of Jazz is Dead, the celebrated instrumental ensemble renowned for their innovative jazz reinterpretations of classic Grateful Dead songs.

It was 50 years ago this summer when over half a million people descended upon a tiny town in upstate New York to revel in a one-of-a-kind music experience featuring The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Band. Dubbed 'Summer Jam at Watkins Glen', it went down in history as the largest concert ever held in the United States, overshadowing even Woodstock in its magnitude.

In 1973, following the recent passing of founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan and the temporary exit of drummer Mickey Hart, the Grateful Dead released Wake Of The Flood. As the debut album from their own record label, Grateful Dead Records, the studio LP marked a period of transition, growth, endurance and optimism for the band, introducing a fresh lineup that included new members Keith and Donna Godchaux on keys and vocals.

Celebrating the long-lasting impact and unparalleled creativity of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 classic, "Apocalypse Now", we invite you to delve once again into the unique percussive score, expertly crafted in part by the Grateful Dead's esteemed drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann.

Fast-rising New York jam group Organ Fairchild is delighted to release their funky instrumental rendition of the Grateful Dead classic, “He’s Gone.” The single is available today on all major digital streaming platforms and serves as the second tantalizing teaser from their forthcoming sophomore album “Leisure Suit” set for release on September 8, 2023.

Grateful Web is delighted to share news of converging baseball and Dead music at Oracle Park. On Wednesday, August 2, 2023, the Sunshine Garcia Band, known for their memorable performances of the national anthem on past Grateful Dead nights, will take center stage with members of Zach Nugent's Dead Set. This high-powered concert will precede the face-off between the San Francisco Giants and the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Here is a great opportunity to support young people keeping the Grateful Dead Songbook alive and well! The Barton Hills Choir is thrilled to travel to Berkeley, CA from their hometown of Austin, TX to perform music of the Grateful Dead and other choir classics with the incomparable David Gans and friends at the Ashkenaz Music & Dance Community Center THIS Saturday, July 22nd

Following the final concert of Dead & Company at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Congressman Wiley Nickel of North Carolina took to the House floor on Monday to deliver a heartfelt tribute to the Grateful Dead, a band that has left an indelible imprint on American music and culture.
