Grateful Dead
The Grateful Dead were right there at the birth of the 1960s West Coast psychedelic scene, but they handily incorporated simple folk, blues, and country sounds into their swirling, jam-oriented style. With an endless touring schedule and a huge following of devoted fans, the group fueled hippie visions well into the '90s and sparked the jam-band movement that would eventually fill the void left by the dearly departed Grateful Dead after the passing of guitarist Jerry Garcia. Since Garcia's passing, surviving members of the band have participated in various musical projects, including a reunion tour in 2003 under the shortened name of "the Dead."

    On the heels of Hendrix and "Cream", "The Grateful Dead" followed Cream's philosophy, "Forget the lyrics and just jam or play." These people were the innovators of a natural jam band culture. Some of the members still carry the philosophy with friends. I hope "The Dead" live on forever in infamy! Rock on and become a "Deadicated DEADHEAD!"

    I still remember where I was at the day I heard Jerry had passed. I was working in a grocery store, saving money and waiting for my friend to graduate so we could spend a summer following the band. I had to take the rest of the day off to wrap my head around it. The music had (and continues to have) a huge impact on me.

    01-10-2007 2:52:03 pm    wildmthyme I'm proud to be one of 'Jerry's kids'. Jerry had that heartbreakingly sweet voice that entranced a person. The band was so much more than a sum of it's parts...it was a whole working machine. And may the music never stop ;) Bless you Jerry!
