Gratewful Dead

Grateful Dead Le trip le plus long et le plus étrange du rock, the Grateful Dead sont les ambassadeurs musicaux de l'ère psychédélique les plus adulés, ils en sont aussi les rescapés les plus résistants, à diffuser leur message de paix, d'amour et d'hallucination à travers le monde pendant les meilleures années de trois décennies. Objet d'adoration d'admirateurs les plus fervents et les plus célèbres de la musique populaire – les Deadheads, leur nombre et leur dévotion légendaire à part entière – c'est le groupe culte ultime, développant même leur " propre " univers. Pendant la meilleure partie de leur carrière qui reste bien en marge des sentiers battus, the Dead deviennent des superstars sous leurs propres conditions exclusivement.

Grateful Dead was an American rock band (1965–1995) formed in the San Francisco Bay Area. Initially formed in 1964 as The Warlocks .

Grateful Dead So much more than just the archetypal jam band, the Grateful Dead grew to become an artistic and cultural institution that existed entirely on their own terms. While the band initially came out of a psychedelic revolution in the Bay Area's musically and chemically exploratory mid-'60s, they quickly evolved from their acid rock beginnings, incorporating elements of Americana and Bakersfield country into gently majestic albums like 1970's American Beauty. Their live shows were completely separate from their studio output, based on freeform improvisation borrowed from jazz and made up of extended performances and set list variations that ensured no two shows were exactly like.

The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in Palo Alto, California, in 1965. Known for their eclectic style that fused elements of rock, blues, jazz, folk, country, bluegrass, rock and roll, gospel, reggae, and world music with psychedelia, the band is famous for improvisation during their live performances, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads".

The Grateful Dead played a Bay Area New Year’s Eve show every year from 1976 through 1991 (and several more in the early 70’s). Among Dead Heads favourites is the gig presented on this new Three Disc Set, their 1981 effort. Joan Baez opens the show with the Grateful Dead as her backing band. If you like Joan Baez, you’ll dig this performance. If you don’t like her, this show isn’t going to convert you. Her set isn’t included herein anyhow! The Dead’s first set starts with an incendiary Shakedown Street that gives one a pretty good indication of where this evening is headed. Even the short songs are booming tonight, ‘Cold Rain and Snow’ and ‘Beat It On Down The Line’ being good but not exhaustive examples from the opening set.

House With An "R" dips into the archives of the legendary underground punk jazz trio – The Dead Kenny Gs – presenting two shows from June 2011 touring in support of Primus: The Fillmore in Miami Beach on June 4, 2011 and Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on June 7, 2011.

The Grateful Dead celebrates its diamond 60th anniversary this year with ENJOYING THE RIDE, a sweeping 60-CD collection that maps an epic cross-country road trip along the "Heady Highway" with stops at storied venues where the music, the moment, and the magic of the Grateful Dead reliably converged. Spanning 25 years of legendary live performances, this expansive collection spotlights defining shows from 1969 to 1994 at 20 venues that consistently inspired the band to new heights—Winterland, Frost Amphitheatre, Madison Square Garden, and Hampton Coliseum, among them. Whether playing the intimate confines of Fillmore West or beneath the open skies at Red Rocks, the Grateful Dead never played the same show twice. ENJOYING THE RIDE is a thrilling testament to that adventurous spirit. With the exception of a few tracks from earlier releases, virtually all of the music on ENJOYING THE RIDE is previously unreleased, spanning more than 450 tracks and over 60 hours of music. Of the 20 shows in the collection, 17 are presented in full, with some featuring additional material from the same venue. The remaining three—Fillmore West, Fillmore East, and Boston Music Hall—are curated from multiple performances at each venue, capturing key moments on those legendary stages.
