What happens when the soul of a band departs—but the music keeps playing? In this poignant episode of The Grateful Dead: 60 Years in San Francisco, host Marla Davies guides us through the emotional and experimental decades that followed Jerry Garcia’s passing. With stories from Ben Fong-Torres, Joel Selvin, David Gans, Sunshine Becker, Charlie Miller, and more, we trace the evolution of a band that refused to fade, and a community that willed itself into being. From the raw grief of 1995 to the catharsis of Fare Thee Well in 2015, you’ll hear how The Other Ones, Phil & Friends, Furthur, and hundreds of tribute bands kept the spirit alive across Bay Area venues like The Warfield, Sweetwater, and Shoreline.
