GRATEFUL DEAD – LIVE DEAD 69

Formed in San Francisco in the mid 60s, famed for their unique and eclectic style fusing elements of rock, country, blues, and psychedelia into live shows sometimes lasting three to four hours.

The godfathers of instrumental jams, followed religiously by their devoted legions of fans, famously known as “deadheads”. Inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame, they were included in Rolling Stones’ greatest artists of all time, amongst too many awards to list.

Since the sad death of their founder Jerry Garcia, there have been several incarnations of the band, including this current line up including legendary keyboard player Tom Constantine, and Mark Karen.

The all star band is augmented by members of Jefferson Starship, whose recent performances at the venue received rave reviews. The band will perform the whole of the Live Dead album, a unique event that has never been done before. The Grateful Dead remain one of the most famous bands in rock history.
