A brief history

The Grateful Dead are a Jam Band that were popular from the late 60's to the early 90's. After frontman Jerry Garcia passed away, the remaining members continue to play under various names. Today they tour as Dead and Company with John Mayer filling in Jerry Garcias place. The Dead have been a popular staple in my household since I was a child and my parent's passion has rubbed off.

The Grateful Dead played 184 original tunes and 317 cover songs in their career.

The Dead built its brand with the use of so many iconic images, from dancing terrapins and patriotic skeletons to skulls and roses to “dancing” bears.”

Shows played: 2,317

Number of songs performed in concert: 36,086
