The Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. They are 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’s improvisational approach and marathon concerts, marked by communal, peaceful atmospheres, made them iconic during the psychedelic rock era.
