The '''Grateful Dead''' were a [[rock and roll]] band that formed in [[San Francisco]] in the mid-1960s. The band developed a loyal [[cult]] following (known as "Deadheads") who would follow the group from concert to concert. Unlike most popular groups, the Grateful Dead were not known for selling records or [[radio]] airplay, but for their marathon concerts. These shows were remarkable for their highly improvisational quality--the band would typically not go on stage with a set program of songs, but would collectively improvise and segue from one tune to the next. The band played regularly until 1995, when guitarist, singer and nominal leader [[Jerry Garcia]] died of heart failure while undergoing [[drug]] rehabilitation.
