| | Deadhead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Deadheads are fans of the band The Grateful Dead. | | | Many deadheads now freely distribute digital recordings of the Grateful Dead's music, and there are several websites which provide and promote legal access of lossless music. | | | Deadheads have been known to purchase, or even 'steal', bootleg tapes from unscrupulous bootleggers who are illegally selling Grateful Dead music, and to copy them and distribute them for free - often at the same location as the bootlegger, in an attempt to stop the bootlegger from profiting. |

| | Deadheads |
| | Deadheads in search of the ideal version of "Dark Star" swap tapes of hundreds of Dead concerts, all recorded with the band's permission over the years. | | | But people are swept up by the spirit of the music. | | | That sense of transport and transcendence, which made some of the initiates regard bandleader Garcia as a messianic figure, is hard for Deadheads to explain to those who never attended the concerts or have heard the Dead's music only on studio or live recordings. |

| | For Phish phans and Deadhead's alike, the relationship between the bands and their followers has a deep sense of community that is goes well beyond "liking" a band and its music. | | | Although Phish phans and Deadheads may appear to be interchangeable day-glow widgets, the communities, like the bands and their music, are far from clones. | | | Through Garcia's uniquely phrased stylings, Deadheads celebrated melodies that the human voice could only dream of, in the process transcending the typical boundaries between music and listener. |

| | A Long, Staid Trip - How Deadheads ruined the Grateful Dead. By Marc Weingarten |
| | Deadheads were supposed to represent enlightened musical inquiry, but instead, as McNally points out, they ignored adventurous opening acts and lifted lyrics out of context. | | | But it curdled into the last refuge for musical conservatism and complacency, and it seemed to destroy the band's work ethic. | | | With nothing to strive for and no musical goals to attain, the band lapsed into a creative torpor for the last 15 or so years of its career, even resurrecting itself this summer for another go-round without Garcia. |

| | Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] |
| | Andrew Behar's feature-length investigation of the Deadheads charts the progress of an extraordinary cultural phenomenon: the survivors of the Dead, an estimated two million fans who had followed the rock band Grateful Dead worldwide, from one concert to another, for three decades. | | | During the 1994 summer tour, the Deadheads put on their own performances, with guitars, bagpipes, drums, even didgeridoos. | | | The band's reputation as a magnet for narcotics and liquor is hardly unearned, but Behar counterpoints dope-addled zombies and nitrous oxide inhalers with groups like the Wharf Rats, a subsection of the Deadheads pledged to sobriety. |

| | Deadheads were easily taken with many of the concepts that have been handed to them via the Dead's music. | | | By 1972, the band was on a roll: Bob Weir released his first solo effort, Ace, Mickey Hart released Rolling Thunder and the band toured Europe and released Europe '72, a live collection of its material from that tour. | | | Solo albums were released including Garcia's bluegrass project, Old And In The Way; Robert Hunter's Tiger Rose featured guest band members; Phil Lesh and Howard Wales released Seastones; Blues For Allah was released in September; Bob Weir joined Kingfish and the group released its self-titled album; and the band spent time in the studio rehearsing. |

I wanted to help articulate why we all love this music so much, and report to the world about the generous spirit of the community which has formed around it. |

| | The years following Garcia’s death did not see the end of the deadhead culture, but the immediacy of the bands performances that was required to sustain such a huge family, was gone. | | | Within 6 months the band announced that they would not be touring without Garcia, and that the Grateful Dead, as a band, no longer existed. | | | Strangely enough, by the time that the ‘never ending tour’ ended, the Grateful Dead, it’s imagery, lifestyle, culture, and maybe even a part of the deadheads message had entered American popular culture, and will in all likelihood, remain there for many years. |
