The Grateful Dead 60 Years in San Francisco

by Pantheon Media

Hey now—Marla Davies here, welcoming you aboard The Grateful Dead 60 Years in San Francisco” Over six decade-by-decade episodes we’ll trace the whole cosmic arc—from the Warlocks’ 1965 Acid Tests and the Fillmore’s light-show communion, through the Wall-of-Sound ’70s, psychedelic stadium thunder in the ’80s, Jerry’s poignant farewell, the post-millennial Furthur jams, and right up to Dead & Company’s 2025 Golden Gate Park blow-out. Guiding us are the city’s finest eyewitnesses — Joel Selvin, Ben Fong-Torres, Dennis McNally, Susanna Milman, Charlie Miller, Rob Bleetstein, David Gans, Rosie McGee, Tim Lynch, Len Del'Amico, Andy Logan and many more...each dropping first-hand stories that stitch together 60 years of music, community, and long-strange magic . Episodes land every Thursday —and when you’re ready to limber up, catch the Hit Replay podcast-puzzle each week for riffs, clues, history and fun before the next show rolls around.
