Episode description

Hop on the bus with host Marla Davies for The Grateful Dead: 60 Years in San Francisco as we unpack Dead & Company’s roller-coaster decade—starting with the post-“Fare Thee Well” leap that thrust bassist Oteil Burbridge into the lineup and tracking John Mayer’s studio-burning metamorphosis that won over wary Deadheads.

Joined by Grahame Lesh, Ben Fong-Torres, Joel Selvin and more, we explore how the band’s neon-drenched Las Vegas Sphere residencies push psychedelic spectacle into tomorrow while an epic 60th-anniversary takeover promises to shake San Francisco’s Polo Fields to the core.

Community, “miracles” and timeless jams intertwine in ways words barely hint—press play now to catch every riff, revelation and whispered secret of this enduring musical saga.
