Grateful Dead

In honor of this here release, we've whipped up a very special listening party featuring track-by-track commentary from our 30 TRIPS DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY liner note scribe Jesse Jarnow.

It's a tall order to take on writing up any year in Grateful Dead history, but to attempt to tell their complete story...godspeed! We called UC Santa Cruz Grateful Dead Archivist Nicholas Meriwether to task for this one and the result is either the shortest book or the longest liner notes you'll find on the Dead. Here he gives us a little sneak peak at the process and a surprising discovery.

Give us a little background on how you got into the Grateful Dead and beyond that, the business of the Grateful Dead.

Everything's shakin' in Chi-Town!

Can't be in Chicago for all the Fare Thee Well festivities? Have no fear, we've got plenty of options for tuning in so you don't have to miss a thing!

Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the details on 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.
