The Greatful Dead were an American rock
band formed in 1965 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country,
jazz, psychedelia, and space rock and for live performances of
long musical improvisation. "Their
music," writes
Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists."
The fans of the Grateful Dead, some of whom followed the band from concert to concert for years, are known as "Deadheads" and are known for their dedication to the band'
s music. Many refer to the band simply as "the Dead." As of 2003, the remaining band members who had been touring under the name "The Other Ones" changed their official group name to "The Dead". Deadheads continue to use that nickname to refer to all versions of the band. Examples include but ar not limited to:
The Bird Song
He's Gone
Truckin'
Dire
Wolf
Casy Jones
Scarlet Begonias
