“A lot of stuff comes to me in dreams. That’s a huge influence on me. I take a lot of direction from dreams. I process all the stuff that I do in my dreams—my playing, my writing, whatever.”
“If people are more drawn to listening to music than they currently are—and this will happen naturally if music is easier to listen to—then the availability of different styles of music will become more attractive to everyone. I don’t think music will be quite as balkanized as it used to be.”
The shots that stayed hidden for decades.
60 Years of The Grateful Dead Experience captures six decades through rare photography. Over 100 never-published images from legendary shooters and 26 archival interviews from Relix’s archive, curated by Dean Budnick and Ricki Blakesberg.

“Back when we were younger, we used to listen to all kinds of music at all times. The Grateful Dead—when we were hanging out, just ourselves—listened to everything. We listened to North Indian classical music, the deepest blues, the farthest out jazz, contemporary classical, country music—we grew up on all that stuff. We developed a much deeper appreciation for all the idioms and where they agreed with each other and where they departed from each other. We embraced the similarities and we embraced the differences.”
