Grateful Dead Quotes
The band that became more than a band to its fans.
These quotes reflect the near-devotional loyalty the Grateful Dead inspired in fans, some describing the band in almost religious terms. Others focus on the band's practical generosity, playing free shows that benefited far more people than the band itself.

The Grateful Dead were very kind. It was Santa Claus. It did good things. It allowed other people to benefit. The benefits that we played were enormous, and we played free. So you've got a band that loves to play free, and that was a wonderful thing.

At a show, I'll look out from the stage and see a woman with a pearl necklace next to a guy in a Grateful Dead T-shirt next to a young kid with his mom. It's fun to see them all together.
