Grateful Dead was known as one of the first bands of the psychedelic rock and jam bands. The focus of their later music was in country and folk rock, which they combined with other music genres.

Continuous band members were Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh and Bill Kreutzmann. In particular, the position of the Keyboard was unstable and was occupied in the thirty years of band history from six different musicians. After the death of band leader Garcia, the band plays under the name The Dead. They are still active, and touring at irregular intervals in the United States.
