The Grateful Dead were a band for almost 30 years, and during that time they made quite the name for themselves. Not only did they capture the minds of the people who saw them, their music has captured the minds of the generations that followed as well.

So much so that millennials like the ones on the editorial staff here at Extra Chill have become fascinated with the band, their music, and the culture surrounding them, without ever having had the opportunity to see a show.

Because of this, we’ve set out to accumulate as much information as we can about the history of the Grateful Dead and share it with anybody who wants to know.
