The Grateful Dead was a psychedelic/jam/folk/country rock band which formed in 1965 in San Francisco, California, United States from the remnants of another band, “Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions,” the Grateful Dead were known for their unique and eclectic songwriting style which fused elements of rock, folk music, bluegrass, blues, country, and jazz, and also for live performances of long modal jams. The group disbanded immediately after the death of their frontman, singer/guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995.
The Grateful Dead consisted of: Jerry Garcia (vocals, guitar; 1965-1995), Bob Weir (guitar, vocals; 1965-1995), Phil Lesh (bass, vocals; 1965-1995), Bill Kreutzmann (drums, 1965-1995), Mickey Hart (drums; 1965-1970, 1974-1995), Ron “Pigpen” McKernan (keyboards, organ, harmonica, vocals; 1965-1972), Tom Constanten (piano; 1968-1970), Keith Godchaux (keyboards; 1971-1979), Donna Jean Godchaux (vocals; 1971-1979), Brent Mydland (keyboards, vocals; 1979-1990), Bruce Hornsby (keyboards; 1990-1992) and Vince Welnick (keyboards; 1990-1995). All of these members, with the exception of Hornsby (who was their induction presenter), were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Lyricist Robert Hunter - who wrote many of the band’s songs - is often considered to be an unofficial member of the band and was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of the band.

i listen to 60s and 70s classic and psychedelic rock, and few of my top artists include pink floyd, velvet underground, the doors, hendrix, jefferson airplane, so the logic band that would follow should be grateful dead. i download few of their songs, and i really love "friend of the devil", "casey jones" and "high time", but that's not really a psychedelic music, is it? i mean, it have psychedelic vibe, but it's not really groovy as jefferson airplane. please give me advice what to listen next of grateful dead that would be really a psychedelic music :-) peace!

Bah, theyre way better than hendrix. Hendrix experience is just a bunch of stooges standing behind an (admittedly awesome) showoff. Grateful dead is a REAL BAND!
