Set list: Jack Straw, Sugaree, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Candyman, Minglewood Blues, Tennessee Jed, Lost Sailor-> Saint Of Circumstance-> Deal China Cat Sunflower-> I...

Grateful Dead End 50-Year Career With Moving, Magnificent Final Show
"...music's true value is not so much about the individual players, distinguished and virtuosic as they might be; it's about the beauty, pleasure and love it communicates, and the community it engenders."

Jann S. Wenner | Archives | The Rolling Stone Interview: Jerry Garcia, Part I
“The Interview with Garcia” was always one of those things we put off into some indefinite future because Jerry was always around and, of course, we’d do it sooner or later. What finally brought it on was a meeting with Charles Reich, the post-40ish law professor from Yale who wrote “The Greening of America,” over a year ago in San Francisco; it turned out that he turned on to the whole trip in 1967 during one of his annual true musical knowledge.

Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo on His Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Experience: High Times in Chicago
Upon entering Chicago's Soldier Field, the first thing that I -- and 70,000 grateful others -- were presented with was a single long-stemmed red rose. An American Beauty, dig? The Grateful Dead always had their iconography down pat. Nice opening touch...

Stream all 3 Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Chicago Shows (WMWV Radio/Soundcloud)
I don't know how long these will be up. They sound like soundboard recordings and are certainly worth a listen while they last! Much crisper than the officially sanctioned audience recordings I've posted in /t/gratefuldead, though they suffer from the same quiet keyboards that the live video feed had.

I’m a black, gay rapper from Baltimore, and the Grateful Dead’s last show made me weep
A testament to the great power of the Dead's music to bring folks together and speak to all of us where we stand: "As the Grateful Dead’s 'long strange trip' came to an end, I discovered that their music moved me deeply...

The Grateful Dead Play at the Egyptian Pyramids, in the Shadow of the Sphinx (1978)
In September of 1978, the Grateful Dead traveled to Egypt and played three shows at the Great Pyramid of Giza, with the Great Sphinx looking over their shoulders. It wasn't the first time a rock band played in an ancient setting.

The Grateful Dead Were Decades Ahead Of Their Time
The Dead poured their efforts into their live shows, and into nearly nonstop touring. They also permitted fans to tape their shows and circulate the music freely. While these practices seemed like the perfect embodiment of counterculture sensibilities, it was astoundingly prescient.

A skull and rose by any other name: How Trey put the Grateful back in the Dead
When the Fare Thee Well Shows were announced in March I bristled at the use of the name Grateful Dead as a moniker for the band. After all, there could be no Grateful Dead without Jerry Garcia.
