The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California.[1][2] The band is known for its eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and psychedelic rock;[3][4] for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams;[5][6] and for its devoted fan base, known as “Deadheads“. “Their music”, writes Lenny Kaye, “touches on ground that most other groups don’t even know exists.”[7] These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead “the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world”.[8] The band was ranked 57th by Rolling Stone magazine in its The Greatest Artists of All Time issue.[9] The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994[10] and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University‘s Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012.[11] The Grateful Dead has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.

  1. I can honestly say the Dead have been my favorite band for my entire life. I was lucky to see them live once in the 70s. Not sure how long Ive followed PSR but its been a wait to see them featured so thankyou to radio man.
    Touch of Grey was one of the few songs that got air play on the top 40 stations. Personally not one of my favorites but Ill take what I can get.
