In this short mini-documentary from the 92Y, learn all about how the California band also has a very strong New York City connection dating back to the 1960s.
New York Dead Freaks Unite! With the recent release of the documentary Long Strange Trip on Amazon and Dead & Company's 2017 summer tour making a stop at Citi Field in Queens, we thought it was the perfect time to explore the Grateful Dead's connection to New York City with the help of Relix Magazine, Mike Greenhaus, Steve Silberman, Jesse Jarnow, Amir Bar-Lev, Conrad Doucette and James R Anderson Photography. By no means a definitive account so please share your favorite New York Dead memories below!
