The Grateful Dead are one of the great American adventures — an outlaw band from the psychedelic frontier of the Haight-Ashbury streets, doing everything their own way. So let’s celebrate that with our tribute to the 100 best Grateful Dead songs. But what all have in common is that the Dead took these songs somewhere different every night. The Grateful Dead took the longest, strangest trip in rock, and invited the world to follow along, show by show, song by song. And just like that weeping willow beside the river, it will grow, grow, grow.
