“There’s nothing like a Grateful Dead Concert” — but sometimes, fans, fanatics and the merely curious can lose sight of just what went into a Dead Show — and why they still have such a grip on our collective unconscious. Join Erik Nelson and Nicholas Meriwether, the executive director of the Grateful Dead Studies Association and the hometown hero who founded the Dead Archive at UCSC — as they dive deep into the ebb and psychedelic flow of just one show — the Dead’s Halloween concert in 1985 — and take you on a guided tour designed to illuminate what makes the Dead the enduring musical icons they are. Whether you’re a hard core Dead Head, or just plain curious on what the fuss is all about, you’ll get a crash course via some great music and great conversation as the Grateful Dead Zone presents…”The Anatomy Of A Dead Show.”
