The Deadhead Style Archive and its accompanying Instagram account seek contributions, documenting a history of fan style. Rin Tanaka’s My Freedamn! 4 is extremely rare these days, but has some cool samples online.
Erik Davis is the author of the new book Blotter: The Untold Story of an Acid Medium, High Weirdness: Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies, and other books, and publishes The Burning Shore newsletter.
The story of the Rhythm Devils continued to evolve with the Grateful Dead through the end of the band in 1995, and through Mickey Hart and Billy Kreutzmann’s many collaborations since. We explored one of the project’s destinations in our Infrared Roses episode.

Wanted to take a quick…
Wanted to take a quick moment to thank Jesse for including these interviews with Jerry in this (and previous) podcasts. As a non-guitarist, I found them quite interesting and (mostly) easy to follow. You really can hear that line from banjo playing to his decisions during solos. The whole syncopation discussion, in particular.
