THE ORIGINAL JAM BAND THAT GOT EVERYTHING STARTED WAS THE GRATEFUL DEAD

The Grateful Dead is an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, and space rock, and for live performances of long musical improvisation. These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead

 "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world".

They were ranked 57th in the issue The Greatest Artists of all Time by Rolling Stone magazine. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and their Barton Hall Concert at Cornell University (May 8, 1977) was added to the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry.The Grateful Dead has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.

JAM BANDS

Jam bands are musical groups whose live albums and concerts relate to a unique fan culture that began in the 1960s with The Grateful Dead, and continued in the 2000's with bands like Phish. The performances of these bands often feature extended musical improvisations ("Jams") over rhythmic grooves and chord patterns, and long sets of music that cross genre boundaries.
