In 1965, the Grateful Dead came to life in the heart of San
Francisco’s hippie counterculture. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bob
Weir, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann (and soon
after, Mickey Hart) created a unique blend of improvisational rock,
folk, blues, and psychedelia, and the Dead went on to become one of
the greatest jam bands of all time, releasing more than ten studio
albums and touring constantly for legions of Deadheads. In Grateful
Dead 365, five decades of intimate portraits, candid backstage shots,
and colorful performance images take readers on the band’s remarkable
journey from the mid-sixties to the twenty-first century. Accompanied
by the band’s distinctive graphics, these photographs capture
memorable moments, including the band’s trip to the Great Pyramid of
Egypt; scenes with colorful, trippy Deadheads; and tributes to
Garcia. Written by award-winning music writer, Holly George-Warren,
Grateful Dead 365 celebrates the evolution of one of the world’s most
beloved bands.
