“Grateful Dead”, considered the pioneering Godfathers of jam band world, is undoubtedly more than a rock band. An eccentric band with fusion of rock, folk, country, jazz, gospel, blues, psychedelia, blue grass, they were a group known for their amazing music, amazing fanbase “Deadheads” and amazing live jams with amazing improvisations. Rightly quoted, they touched on grounds which most bands didn’t know even existed. With more than 35 million record sales to their credit, they were ranked 57th by The Rolling Stone magazine’s “Greatest Artists of All Time.”
