The Grateful Dead: 50 for 50 (at 60)
As we continue to reflect on the 60 years since the formation of the Grateful Dead, we present this feature which originally appeared in the special Music news.
Published: 2025/10/29 by Dean Budnick, this feature was part of the programs created for Fare Thee Well at Soldier Field.
A Halloween show is on the list, which is why it’s on our mind. The original article ran across all three days in the Fare Thee Well programs, spotlighting one show per year by the group and its members’ various projects from 1965-2014.
Notable shows include:
- 11/27/65 The Warlocks, Ken Babbs’ Place, Santa Cruz, Calif.
