In 1965, the Grateful Dead came to life in the heart of San Francisco’s hippie counterculture. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Phil Lesh, and Bill Kreutzmann (and soon after, Mickey Hart) created a unique blend of improvisational rock, folk, blues, and psychedelia, and the Dead went on to become one of the greatest jam bands of all time, releasing more than ten studio albums and touring constantly for legions of Deadheads.
In Grateful Dead 365, five decades of intimate portraits, candid backstage shots, and colorful performance images take readers on the band’s remarkable journey from the mid-sixties to the twenty-first century. Accompanied by the band’s distinctive graphics, these photographs capture memorable moments, including the band’s trip to the Great Pyramid of Egypt; scenes with colorful, trippy Deadheads; and tributes to Garcia. Written by award-winning music writer, Holly George-Warren, Grateful Dead 365 celebrates the evolution of one of the world’s most beloved bands.

Of all the books I have on the Dead. This is a great picture book illustrating the Deads long History. There are many images that have never been published before. I find it refreshing and compelling for all the Dead Heads who want to see the History and not read it.
This is a heavy, thick book with 365 photos of the Grateful Dead and its members (and some fans). While many of the photos are ones I'm familiar with, there are lots that were new to me. It shows the photos chronologically, and you see all the band members over the years (for those who survived), as well as plenty of concert shots. It's a great bathroom book; there's not much text, just enough to identify who's in the pictures. But at the current Amazon "bargain price" (I paid around $8.50 plus shipping), don't hesitate if you're a Deadhead.
