During the peak of 1960s psychedelia, one band reigned supreme throughout the intricate subculture: the Grateful Dead. With an immense fan base of loyal followers called “deadheads,” the Grateful Dead released a number of albums, both live and studio, and toured the country extensively throughout the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s and half of the ‘90s. Hippie anthems such as “Truckin,” “Sugar Magnolia,” and “Casey Jones” were created during these decades. But when the Grateful Dead lost its beloved guitarist and vocalist, Jerry Garcia, in 1995, the surviving members disbanded and went their separate ways. However, the force of the Dead was still strong, and in 1998, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, and Bruce Hornsby rejoined to tour as the Other Ones. The Other Ones continued to tour, but after some successful shows in 2001, the band felt closer to the Grateful Dead than they had since Jerry’s passing. After careful consideration, the band decided to rename themselves once again—this time, The Dead. After an inspiring show last year, this year will mark The Dead’s second performance at Bonnaroo.
