How Do You Celebrate the Grateful Dead’s 60th Anniversary? With 60 Discs, Of Course
The Grateful Dead's 60th-anniversary will be commemorated with a whomping new box set, 'Enjoying the Ride.'
When the Grateful Dead celebrated its 50 th anniversary in 2015, the band hardly downplayed the moment: The surviving members congregated for a series of Fare Thee Well shows and released a 50-disc box set of previously unreleased live cuts. But the Dead and its related company, Rhino, are still going big with another, even heftier package to mark six decades since the band (then called the Warlocks) played at Magoo’s Pizza in Menlo Park, California, in May 1965. Enjoying the Ride — a title taken, of course, from In the Dark ‘s “Hell in a Bucket” — includes shows recorded at Deadhead destinations like New York’s Madison Square Garden and Fillmore East, San Francisco’s Fillmore West and Winterland, Colorado’s Red Rocks, the Boston Garden, the Hartford Civic Center in Connecticut, the Capitol in Port Chester, New York, and more.
