Pigpen-led, blues-soaked, raw and electric — the band in its first wild form, from the Acid Tests through the Fillmore years.











Europe '72, Keith on piano, and the largest concert sound system ever built. Six legendary weeks across the continent and the jams that filled stadiums.














Back from hiatus with Mickey returning. Cornell, Englishtown, and the famous spring '77 run — the most beloved tour in rock history.










Brent Mydland on the B3 — a decade of stadium-sized magic, Radio City runs, and the band reaching its widest audience yet.















Vince and Bruce on keys. Jerry's last great nights — Madison Square Garden, Soldier Field, and the long goodbye.










After Jerry's passing in August 1995, the surviving members kept the music alive — through The Other Ones, The Dead, Phil & Friends, RatDog, Furthur, and finally Dead & Company from Wrigley Field to the Sphere.
