When the Grateful Dead assembled at Magoo’s Pizza Parlor in May 1965 under the name The Warlocks, few could have predicted that their origins would take them to sold-out stadiums, let alone endure after the passing of core members. And yet, 60 years later, the band remains a symbol of autonomy with vast gravitational pull for seekers of community through songs and experience.
