East Coast folks, the place to be celebrating Jerry Garcia's 80th birthday on August 1 is the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, where DJ Jonathan Healey creates an immersive psychedelic dance experience drawn from Jerry's multi-decade career with the Grateful Dead and beyond. Meanwhile, in Garcia's, the Stella Blue's Band will be playing live.

Join us for an unforgettable dining experience created by Saint Kate's Executive Chef, Paul Funk! Paying homage to one of his most beloved bands, The Grateful Dead, Chef Funk has curated a 5-course food and drink "setlist" in celebration of the 50-year anniversary of the Dead's legendary Europe '72 tour. Enjoy listening to songs from the tour while you dine on dishes inspired by the band's music.

They got on the bus to the Port Authority, rode in on the Long Island Railroad and the New Jersey Transit line. They traveled North, South, and West on the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, their numbers growing as they descended upon Penn Station. Some rolled up in those iconic New York yellows. Some walked excitedly through the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square, meeting up with old friends on the way and picking up a few new ones too as they ascended The Garden's stairs. Maybe you were among them - lightly buzzed on the way in, fully aglow on the way home.

This August 1 marks the 80th birthday of our late, legendary co-founder Jerry Garcia. Who loved baseball, so we're thrilled that the New York Yankees, the San Francisco Giants, and the Boston Red Sox have each set aside a special night in August to honor the occasion. A portion of each ticket's sale price benefits Rex Foundation, and we're grateful for the support.

Phil Lesh & Friends will deliver on Friday, July 22, a headlining performance to what promises to be a dandy of a single-day Bluegrass and Beyond Festival at world-famous Lake Tahoe, which straddles the borders of California and Nevada.

August 1, 2022 would have been Jerry Garcia’s 80th birthday. August 9, 2022 is the date that marks Jerry’s passing, 27 years ago. August 1 - August 9 is what we, Jerry’s fans, refer to as “The Days Between”.

This week's Find of the Week is a customized Fender Bassman amplifier circa 1960 that was once the property of The Grateful Dead. While the original tweed is covered in padded white vinyl and a "Chrysler" emblem was stuck on its face, the amp's original speakers are intact.

A guitar played on stage by Dead & Company’s Bobby Weir has attracted a monumental bid of $250,000 in a charity auction being conducted throughout the band’s current summer tour.

Jerry Garcia’s 80th birthday celebration was celebrated a little bit early last night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Some birthdays are just too big, so when the stars align you just do it. Jerry was born on August 1st, 1942, and sadly departed planet earth on August 9th, 1995. He will always live in our hearts, minds and souls. Jerry was a beacon of light and inspiration moving brightly through our lives.
