Abstract: The Grateful Dead a spiritually motivated, improvising rock band Thirty years ago it was as if rock had tapped into a wellspring where Being gushed forth in a play of light and sound that was free and unnamed and not yet frozen into the forms that history and culture demand . . .as if [fans] had stepped through a waterfall to behold nothing that could be named, nothing that one could carry back, but just a promise, a possibility, a mystery . . .Rock insisted that meaning emerges only when we have dispensed with the narrative of coherence.-nick bromell, Tomorrow Never Knows: Rock and Psychedelics in the 1960s, 2000
