Grateful Dead

Baseball fans and music lovers, get ready for an unforgettable summer experience! This July and August, we are thrilled to announce Jerry Garcia Tribute Nights at five of America’s iconic ballparks. This unique series of events will blend the excitement of Major League Baseball with the timeless music of Jerry Garcia, all while supporting a noble cause. A portion of the proceeds from each event will benefit the Rex Foundation, continuing Garcia's legacy of philanthropy and community support.

Today, we at Grateful Web raise our glasses and hearts to celebrate the birthday of the legendary Robert Hunter, born on June 23, 1941. Hunter, the lyrical genius behind the Grateful Dead's most iconic songs, was not just a songwriter but a conjurer of visions, a weaver of dreams, and a master of the American folk tale. His words painted vivid landscapes of human experience, capturing the essence of joy, sorrow, love, and the endless journey of life.

Ugly roomers or ugly rumors, doesn't matter which way you say it, they are all true! Today's the day you get to revisit FROM THE MARS HOTEL with all the magic of 21st century remastering and a few demos to boot. And those of you who picked up the 3CD? Strap in for the very Wall Of Sound-worthy previously unreleased live performance from 5/12/74.

Today, we tip our hats and raise our glasses to Waylon Jennings, the outlaw country icon born on June 15th. His voice, deep as the Texas night, carried the stories of rebels and dreamers, painting pictures of heartache, freedom, and the wild frontier. Here at Grateful Web, we honor the legacy of this musical maverick and his storied connection with the Grateful Dead.

Fans of the Grateful Dead and baseball enthusiasts alike are in for a special treat! Join the fun for Jerry Garcia Night and celebrate the life and music of the legendary Bay Area musician. Purchase a special ticket package that includes a one-of-a-kind corduroy hat, exclusive access to a pregame concert featuring Stu Allen and Mars Hotel, and a ticket to the game against the Orioles later that evening.

I didn’t plan on going to the Sphere to see Dead and Company (a.k.a. “Dead & Co.”) during their months-long “Dead Forever” residency. But after missing U2 and Phish during the inaugural year of the high-tech Las Vegas arena, it was high time I went to check out the uber-visual experience. It doesn’t hurt that Dead & Co.

When Robert Hunter's homespun solo debut Tales Of The Great Rum Runners came out in June 1974, there was no accompanying publicity photograph. On its release, the Oakland Tribune ran a cover story in its weekend magazine along with a line-drawn self-portrait of the musician.

The time is almost here! Join the fun the weekend of July 13th at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley to celebrate Rex Foundation's 40 years of community, connection, and grant-making. We have an incredible lineup featuring Dark Star Orchestra and Melvin Seals and JGB, perfect for commemorating this milestone with the music that has brought us together for decades.
