An alphabetical history of rock 'n' roll's most iconic band...the
Grateful Dead. Featuring playful rhymes and glorious illustrations,
The ABCs of the Grateful Dead celebrates the band's rich and
dynamic history. Each letter of the alphabet highlights a
significant moment, cultural contribution, or innovation along the
band's journey, from their groundbreaking release of American
Beauty to their pioneering Wall of Sound, from the beloved dancing
bears to their singular community of tape traders. This
delightfully kaleidoscopic look back on the Grateful Dead will
entertain first-time readers as well as diehard fans of all ages.
The Grateful Dead is a social and musical phenomenon that grew into
a genuine American treasure. In 1965, an entire generation was
linked together by common ideals, gathering by the hundreds and
thousands. This movement created a seamless connection between the
band and its fans. As the band toured, Dead Heads would follow. Not
because it was a part of popular culture, but because it is a true
counterculture that exists to this very day-one that earnestly
believes in the value of its beliefs. By 1995, the Grateful Dead
had attracted the most concert goers in the history of the music
business, and today remain one of the all-time leaders in concert
ticket sales. Eventually, the caravan evolved into a community with
various artists, craftsmen and entrepreneurs supplying a growing
demand for merchandise that connected them to the music. Today, the
connection is as strong as ever. The band was inducted into the
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994 and received a Grammy (R)
Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Their final tally of 2,318
total concerts remains a world record. The Grateful Dead recently
celebrated their 53rd top 40 album on the Billboard chart, a feat
no other group has achieved.
