People who followed the Grateful Dead( 1965-1995 )on tour, usually loosely affilaited with The Rainbow Family or similar nomadic hippie groups, who spinned round and round with arms extended in hallways and usually in the back of arena or stadiums where GD used to play. Haven't been seen since 1995 not even on Phish, Phil Lesh or similar jam band tours. They could be considered modern day Whirling Dervishes as they, like the Dervishes, would spin to obtain an altered state of consciousness similar to LSd and psilocybin, drugs often used at Dead shows.
