The Grateful Dead may have
The Grateful Dead may have the most passionate & loyal following of the Rock Era. The Dead were jamming their way to the highest echelons of live music when In 1986, this legendary band’s front man Jerry Garcia nearly died, and the future of the group was in serious jeopardy. Jerry recovered, and the Grateful Dead made a miraculous comeback with their first album in 6 years In the Dark which led to their one and only hit song, Touch of Grey! Most are shocked when They realize this all time group only had one hit. They’ve played live to the most people in rock history over 25 million but only had 1 top 40 hit. Coming up... the making of the unlikely anthem by the psychedelic road warriors from Palo Alto, and the unheralded author Robert Hunter who was an indispensable part of the group, even though he never performed with them. The story is NEXT.. on Professor of Rock.

I know you’ll dig it! We also have a patreon you'll want to check out. more content and your support helps us do more interviews and keep it a daily show. By the way… we have some amazing interviews coming. You’ll be shocked… I’m so excited…
Here’s a fun rock n’ roll topic to discuss…. Which band would you say had the most ardent followers of the Rock Era?The Stones... the Beatles... Zeppelin... Pink Floyd…Rush, U2...Metallica? Hands down, my vote is... The Grateful Dead.
Since the band originated in Palo Alto, California in ’65, the Dead began their incredible run of touring for 30 consecutive years, performing between 100 to 150 shows a year and during that span, there were many accounts of diehard Dead Heads seeing the band hundreds of times… They’ve played to more people than any band in history and sold over 25 million records but had only one hit song. Let’s get into it.
For many going to a Grateful Dead concert was a pilgrimage, and even a competition, to attend as many shows as possible. That meant dropping out of a regimented society, and immersing themselves in the colorful ’tie died' community of the Dead Heads.
One of the most famous “Dead Heads” is NBA Hall of Fame center Bill Walton, who, reportedly, attended an astonishing EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX Grateful Dead concerts- not counting the offshoot versions such as Dead & Company, and Ratdog.
When asked about his deep love for The Dead, Walton is effusive with his praise: “Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion, are all things that I believe in.” The band originated as the Warlocks in ‘65, but that name was quickly dropped in favor of... The Grateful Dead. The formative lineup included: Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Ron McKernan, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann.
A fifth member of the group emerged a few years later when Garcia invited Robert Hunter to become an official part of the Grateful Dead. Although he worked with band as a lyricist for well over two decades, Hunter never performed with the Dead, yet his contribution to the band was invaluable.
