More about the Grateful Dead:
The Grateful Dead is a social and musical phenomenon that grew into a genuine American treasure. In 1965, an entire generation was linked together by common ideals, gathering by the hundreds and thousands. This movement created a seamless connection between the band and its fans. As the band toured, Dead Heads would follow. Not because it was a part of popular culture but because it is a true counterculture that exists to this very day -one that earnestly believes in the value of its beliefs. By 1995, the Grateful Dead had attached the most concertgoers in the history of the music business, and today remains one of the all-time leaders in concert ticket sales. Eventually, the caravan evolved into a community with various artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs supplying a growing demand for merchandise that connected them to the music. Today, the connection is as strong as ever. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, received a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007, and won Best Licensed Brand at the 2024 Licensing International Awards. Their final tally of 2,318 total concerts remains a world record. The Grateful Dead recently celebrated their 62nd Top 40 album on the Billboard chart, a feat no other group has achieved.
