Grateful Dead

Photographer Jay Blakesberg has been shooting the Grateful Dead since the late ’70s, and has even picked up the pace in the years following Garcia’s passing. Though he shoots album covers for many bands and works regularly for Rolling Stone and other magazines, he always makes time to shoot The Dead and their many offshoots—he’s been the de facto chronicler of Phil Lesh & Friends since that ever-evolving unit got its start in 1998.
